Pokemon X and Y Gives Mega Evolutions to Original Starters

I'm just glad Mega Charizard didn't become a fire/dragon type, that's Reshiram's territory!
Shifting to more slight seriousness, I don't mind megalutions, but I don't plan on using them that much anyway. It seems kind of tedious to change a Pokemon into a mega form, sitting through that animation every time would get old really quickly.

Ghost Bear's Legacy indeed. When I saw the Stone Rhino at the end of the mechlab I wondered why I would use anything else.Johann610 said:Ah. It's been tooo long since this 100-ton siege tool lumbered onto my screen. What was it? Ghost Bear's Legacy? [sigh]Alcom1 said:Mega Blastoise reminds me of the Battletech Stone Rhino...
This really does seem to reek "digimon ripoff" doesn't it? Not just the fact that they activate little digital devices with swooping and pseudo-kung-fu hand gestures causing their partners to evolve, but adding a random cool-sounding word in front of the actual name of the creature to show that they've been upgraded?Chaosian said:
And the fourth and final evolution for these monsters is referred to as "Mega" level?
Come one. The differences between mega and non-mega are minimal at best. Wouldn't it be amazing if the original starters had a real, full-blown fourth evolution that we're only seeing for the first time? Kind of like how they added Pichu as the pre-evolution of Pikachu later in the series. I think that would garner much more attention than this.
So Mega Charizard gets Drought, meaning Sunny Day comes along when he transforms. Mega Venusaur gets Thick Fat, giving him half damage to Ice and Fire attacks that he receives, and Mega Blastoise gets a boost in Pulse attacks like Water Pulse. Isn't Mega Blastoise getting the shaft in the ability department, or can I just not think of that many pulse attacks? Design wise though, Mega Venusaur is probably the worst. And while Mega Charizard looks cool (despite not getting Dragon type in the process. Oh Gamefreak you are such teases), I do like Mega Blastoise's arm cannons.
The choice to pick comes down to Bulbasaur or Squirtle for me. I already decided to choose this gen's fire starter, so choosing Charmander isn't super ideal to me. But I already thought about getting GoGoat as my grass pokemon because...well, its GoGoat. I suppose that leaves Squirtle, but I don't know. I have a bit of love for both since Squirtle was my first ever choice when starting Pokemon Red (so much so that I used him and maybe Pikachu all the way to the Elite Four), but when I beat the game for real I used Bulbasaur (and an actual team, lol).
I might have to see an updated list on the amount of moves they can learn or something. Its been far too long since I trained a first gen pokemon that I don't know what they can do now. Overall though, I love this and can't wait to see more Mega Evolved Pokemon.

I was actually checking out the forum thread for this news post to do just that, so imagine my surprise when I found people actually liked the idea.NameIsRobertPaulson said:
I mean, really, people, "Mega-evolutions"? They must be really stretching for ideas. I didn't think they could ever exhaust the supply of pokemon-ised household clutter (which, let's face it, seems to be the the source of inspiration for a lot of the latest pokemon designs).
Well those designs were lame. I was expecting something as dramatic as the first two evolutions instead it's just the previous evolutions with a few minor tweaks.
All of the games have T.Ms and Medicines but those can only go so far before maxing out. Mega Evolution can temporarily surpass that cap as well as give a pokemon a different ability or type in the middle of battle.prpshrt said:
I saw this on Reddit, and I totally agree.

Blastoise is probably my favourite, I still prefer Charizard over his mega-evolution.
