Has anyone else seen the new Mega Pokemon?
Just WTF GameFreak....?

Leaked CoroCoro Screenshots

mega evolutions arent they called?

super saiyans >.>

I heard there's supposed to be a Z too. I usually pick fire types at the start just saying.

Everyone is calling them super saiyans, digimon, and other things....

I like that Gamefreak is trying something so ballsy and new, but if they are doing something like this then all starter Pokemon better have a Mega Evolution, and they should have simply stuck with less popular Pokemon to give the Mega Evolution's too. Not already super popular, and uber popular Pokemon (Blaziken!? I mean really!? He's already in uber for being overpowering, now he's a uber UBER Pokemon!)

At least we're finally getting Speed Boost Blaziken.

Still not sure how I feel about Dedenne. It's pretty much a hamster Raichu. GameFreak, I get that you hate Raichu, but at least you could make it less obvious. ;-;

i think dedenne looks more like an electric dewott

Bastard child of a Mudkip and a Raichu....

I'm interested to see how the mega evolutions work. Are they a temporary battle thing? Can they only occur during a battle? Etc., etc.

I do think I'll be getting Blaziken and Lucario at the very least...

I think in the trailer it said it could only occur during a battle. I don't know anything else about it though. A lot of pokemon I really like are getting mega evolutions, so I'm really interested to see how exactly they work and what different things they bring to a battle.

Well then, I guess the only major question is how long the evolutions last.....I really hope it's more permanent instead of just a battle-only sort of thing.

I'm really loving the forms for all of them....honestly I just want to...forgive this...CATCH THEM ALL!

I've been studying every little information we get about it.

It's actually somewhat balanced, basically once you enter a battle your Pokemon changes form because it's holding the mega stone thing. But it's not permanent because it's not a 4th evolution. It's more like achieving that Pokemon's maximum potential because it can't evolve any more.

By transforming the Stats (most likely exceeding the typical amount of stats given), and possibly the Type will change. Nothing else is confirmed on whether something else might change.

This is actually a great way to allow older Pokemon to get more use in battle, and to keep it so not every Pokemon has to have 3 stages of evolution.

My only two bits on it though is that every Starter should get a Mega Evolution to keep it Fair, and that they should try to keep Mega Evolutions apart from a generations Poke Count (How many new Pokemon are introduced per generation.)

It's a interesting concept, and unlike new generation Pokemon Game Freak could possibly even allow Free Game Updates/DLC that release more Mega Evolutions over time.

True that they could but the problem I see with it is that some people will say that they are catering or pandering to a specific group or even the fans in general without coming up with anything "original" by that point.

So...basically the concept is kinda like having a "Super Saiyan" evolution....xD

Hey I started thinking... Remember in Gen 2 games that Team Rocket was trying to force the Gyarados to evolve? I wonder if that was their attempt at Mega Evolution?

Hmmm...maybe. Could also have been an attempt at a HYPER EVOLUTION!

Woah woah woah your talking about some crazy stuff here, Game Freak would never......
