AWKWARD ZOMBIE

My hope is they integrate a way to set a battle style for story mode (single/double/triple/rotation/multi) and it would do that battle style for almost all battles, like Pokemon Colosseum kinda did 3 generations ago. They're balancing the game for doubles but making the players overly acquainted to singles.

To be honest though, Char Y was pretty disappointing for a Mega-evolution and I'm pretty glad that we ended up getting X, even if it's being over-hyped and basically becoming the default Mega for Charizard (and it meant yet again a popular Pokemon got more coverage than others).

The head spike, the weird wings, and just the overall aesthetic was just offputting for me. Frankly if Y didn't exist and X was the main mega, I wouldn't be upset.

The best megas though, in my opinion, tend to draw inspiration from earlier evolutions, or take the concept farther, like Ampharos or Mawile. I'm still kinda disappointed in Blastoise with the weird arm shells and lack of homage to Wartortle and Squirtle, feels like a missed opportunity.

Venusaur is pretty decent though. I like the mini-jungle on its back.

Oh no the made Charizard look even cooler, how dare they!

I feel like they really messed up with Venasaur, all they did was make his plant a little bigger and gave him clone markings.
I was really hype about Blastoise when he first came out but the mega design is a bit lacking, still love those canons though.

Some are really cool like Scizor, Garchomp, and Alakazam which make them seem more like an actual evolutions.

Just got me a Mega Ampharos.

More like mega fabulous

(it has a terrible nature and stuff but i dont care)

Absolutely, those are the best ones. That's why I love Kangaskhan's Mega as a concept (if not in practice because it's impossible for me to love something that cheap). On a similar note, I like the small throwback Tyranitar's mega has to Larvitar in that it regains its red belly colouring.

Edit: Forgot to mention - as of yesterday, I have an almost flawless shiny Onix! It's Brave, has Weak Armor (Turns into Sheer Force when it evolves) and an almost perfect IV spread - 31/29/31/31/31/0. I'm very lucky the Attack IV generated so high.

Guys I just bought Pokemon Y!

That is so appropriate and I bless you for doing this.

7/10 would read again.

I would pay Nintendo maximum dollars to put MegaZangoose and MegaSeviper in there if they aren't already.

I see that flag gamefreak.

I know what it means.

i need another ds

That Streetpass functionality was too good an idea for them to not implement. Will we get the rest of the record-mixing suite via streetpass? ... You know, the whole showing up in other game's TVs via Gabby and Ty, and that freaky guy in Mauville Pokemon Centre that changed whenever you mixed records. That'd be pretty cool.

The best thing about secret bases is challenging your friends there to battles. This needs to be a thing again.

Confirmed by the marketing peeps running the website.

MEGA METAGROSS CONFIRMED

I'M TERRIFIED

are you fucking kidding me


yes, BRILLIANT idea Nintendo, give a pokemon with three evolutions ANOTHER evolution, it's not like it's powerful enough already and there are plenty of pokemon who would have actually BENEFITTED from a new evolution.
