Posted August 10, 2013 Yeah, no. If they were permanent the older versions would be sidelined. WQell either that or megas would be Ubers. Again, though--if you can get the right setup, they can still be pretty good. Maybe not if they're directly pitted against an evolved form, but that doesn't mean they're suddenly crap.

Posted August 10, 2013 Lucario is far from underpowered even without some kind of permanent form-change, I would find it much less loathesome if it WAS underpowered :L Share this post Link to post
Posted August 10, 2013 Again, though--if you can get the right setup, they can still be pretty good. Maybe not if they're directly pitted against an evolved form, but that doesn't mean they're suddenly crap. Or any other of the mega forms. If it were permanent, while the old ones might still get some use, the megas would probably sideline the old versions, maybe not remove them from OU quite yet, but what would be the point of using the underpowered version? (Even if it could still be used doesn't mean it would.) As it is I think it will add an interesting battle mechanic, about the only perk in my opinion, for those wishing to use them, it will make it so your opponent has to guess whether or not you'll switch to the mega form. *Goes to get a Banette on his team* Share this post Link to post
Posted August 10, 2013 Another interesting note (serebii via japan pokemon site) is it appears you can only have one mega in battle at a time. Basically you can't have a blaziken, mawile, lucario, mewtwo, amphy, and absol all go mega at one time. Again, very fair, I can accept these megas now. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 10, 2013 Eh... I still don't like 'em. Battlewise they aren't too bad, but I just, it's silly. And I'm still upset about Mawile. *Continues to cry in a corner* Share this post Link to post
Posted August 10, 2013 I just wish most of them didn't look like crap T^T Blaziken and Absol's horns had so much potential, and WHOOP, out the window... Not to mention Lucario *shudders* Share this post Link to post
Posted August 10, 2013 Yeah, I actually like the Mawile, but it's not an actual evo. (I'm never going to get over that.) Share this post Link to post
Posted August 10, 2013 Same. I'd've preferred that only starters and legends got this, especially since Pokemon that needed real evos got them too. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) Exactly. I hope they don't do this to every Pokemon that needs an evo. *Looks worriedly at Chatot* Edited August 10, 2013 by MasterWeavile898 Share this post Link to post
Posted August 10, 2013 Speaking of starter megas - - Fenniken. 'nuff said. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 10, 2013 I'm just terrified that MegaMewtwo is confirmed to have even MORE special attack and the MegaLucario has more attack with the adaptibility ability. Seriously, who wants to come in on a close combat from that!? NO ONE! MegaBlaziken with speed boost and more attack..... *dies* Though, my honest thoughts.... POKEMON AND DIGIMON SHACKED UP AND HAD A BABY! Share this post Link to post
Posted August 10, 2013 Okay, mega Kangaskhan was a cool idea. *Still doesn't like megas as a whole* Share this post Link to post
Posted August 10, 2013 OMG MEGA BABY KANGASKHAN CUTEST IDEA EVER. I really really love that the mega really only applied to the baby Kangaskhan, so adorable. Still, we need a pre-evo to kangashkan and a male evolution (for the pre-evo) Share this post Link to post
Posted August 10, 2013 *cough*Marowack*cough* Which reminds me... MEGA-MAROWACK! It. Would be. Amazing. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) Didn't I say that earlier? Anyway, I'm not expecting a pre-evolution now, they made it a mega instead. It seems megas are a way of getting around giving Pokemon actual evolutions, I don't get that. Though I do think doing it for starters and legendaries only might be good.

Posted August 10, 2013 Mega Lugia. Now that's a can of worms I do want to see opened. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 10, 2013 Yeah, just as long as it has a good design. I would like mega Rayquaza. I'm wonder if the mega versions of shinies have the same color scheme as normal mega Pokemon. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 10, 2013 WHile I have to admit I ama fan of Megakhangaskin, megas as a whole are still a no-no. Maybe Mega-Jynx, with similar stats to Magmortar and Electivire. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 10, 2013 Mmmm I'm so excited for Megas. I love new shiny battle things, yay! I can't wait to see all of the other Megas ;U; squeeeeeee Share this post Link to post
Posted August 10, 2013 At this point I reluctantly accept the existence of megas, but I'm not happy about it. Though Kangaskhan is pretty nice. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 10, 2013 Yeah. I'll reluctantly admit that this was better than baby standing on its own. Still... Share this post Link to post
Posted August 10, 2013 I'd prefer it on it's own, and evolving into Cubone. Share this post Link to post
