Terrifying Mega Beedrill And Majestic Mega Pidgeot Revealed For Pokemon OR/AS

Danm I really want to use Beedrill now (I always wanted to see a honet Pokemon) but I still put off that its stats is low compared to other Pokemon like Gardivour and Swampert etc.
I'm pretty sure we are going to see Mega Butterfree next for sure!

That Sableye tho. It was already Shedinja type defensive, I wonder what hiding behind that big jewel will do. I kind of want to see it hide behind a Wabbafet just for the frustrating fifty minute battles.
Somewhere Egoraptor just jizzed in his pants seeing that Mega Beedrill. But I was always saying Pidgeot was missing some blue, good for it.

Just yesterday I told my wife that all OR/AS needed to do in order to ensure my purchase was to show me Mega Sableye. And dammit, now they have.EHKOS said:
I got another picture of your Mega Latias right here...
What? Someone HAD to spot the similarity.
OT: I'd follow up with a Nicholas Cage Bees joke, but it seems you've all done that for me. Thanks.

Beedrill is utterly, 100% useless; even frakking Mawile was more useful on the whole, and we all saw how much mega-evolution helped that poke out (read: not at all).
Pidgeot, I get (it's not a bad poke), but Beedrill? Frankly, I don't know why they even bothered.

Oh god.
Beedrill was already scary enough. If I saw MEGA bedrill in real life, I'd have a heart attack and DIE on the spot. ;_;

"Nightmare inducing" seems pretty hyperbolic. Adaptability will give it an okay strong X-Scissor and Poison Jab, but unless its Attack boost from mega-evolving is out of this world, it's not anything to be too concerned about. Bug and Poison attacks don't make for particularly good type coverage.
And that's if it gets a hit off in the first place. Unless it gets a crazy speed boost (and that's if it gets it at all. Remember, they said Mega-Charizard Y would be getting a speed boost and that didn't happen.) it'll still be average speed at best. Without a significant boost in HP and Defense/Sp Defense, it'll still get one-shot by a lot of attacks. Mega-Blaziken and Talonflame in particular are commonly used Pokemon that will probably not only be faster than Mega-Beedrill, but will destroy it in one hit.
The fact is that glass cannons like Mega-Beedrill don't generally make it into competitive play.
Mega-Pidgeot looks a little scarier. No-Guard is built to compliment Hurricane, which could make Mega-Pidgeot kind of scary depending on the stat boost it gets.

They won't. If they were going to, they wouldn't be hyping Mega-Rayqyaza for this version.prpshrt said:
How is it at all ripping off digivolving? It's just another stage of evolution. Which IIRC, Pokemon was doing already.Scrythe said:
I never said that.Laser Priest said:
I was pointing out the blatant similarities between the properties coupled with the bickering accusations of between fandoms.
Yes, I realize that there are vast differences between the series as a whole, but the evolution mechanic boils down to the same basic concept of "upping the power level". I just found it amusing that Pokemon fans give Digimon shit for "And then we discovered we can go one level higher" thread, when Pokemon does the exact same shit.
Besides, it's not just those properties that do it. You can find the same concept in Dragonball Z or s-CRY-ed or Kill la Kill or Super Sentai whetever the hell is popular these days.
I'm not saying this concept is bad in any way, but let's not throw baseless accusations of theft when it's a common Japanese trope.
Never played the games, but assuming the digi-volving mechanics work similar to the show, then Pokemon is definitely imposing a bit into Digimon's turf with temporary evolutions.
They won't. They didn't do the third game for the Gen1 or Gen2 remakes. What they'll probably do is incorporate story elements from the third game into the two. Most likely having Wallace become the League Champion instead of Steven and have Juan take over the Sootopolis gym. (Epic nerd-out here.)prpshrt said:
OT: Wtf are Palkia and Dialga doing in there?! This ain't no Gen4 bullshit!
No offense but the whole complaint seems pointless to me then. And the way you phrased it, it sounded like you were accusing pokemon of ripping off of Digimon.Scrythe said:
Plus, it goes beyond just the evolution and into the cutesy monsters that (at least in the shows) fight alongside their child trainer-type people.
