You don't have to hide your happines as now Staraptor is more likely to get Gale Wings instead as a Mega and with better coverage than Pidgeot ;D
That'll be "OMG There really is a mega Sceptile" version 2. And I'll love it. I remember the day, I was almost giving up on the idea of new megas because they plan way ahead, they didn't include them in XY, etc, Blaziken is a lucky bastard and then I unsuspectingly open serebii... and flip out. GF didn't let me down (well, to be completely honest, I'm not a big fan of the design and I wish the dream of Contrary mega Sceptile were true, but I'm pretty happy the way it is).
I'm really, really happy about mega Pidgeot now. I loved playing with the Pidgeot I bred in XY only to be disappointed at how much it sucks competitively. Mega Swellow would've probably been more fitting to ORAS, but even Swellow has a niche thanks to Guts, Facade and its lightning speed, something Pidgeot doesn't. Speaking of Swellow, why the hell did it get Boomburst and not Pidgeot? You knew that was coming, GF! If ORAS doesn't patch this up I'm going to... write a letter of complaint /o/
There's a good possibility Pidgeot will get new level-up or egg moves, but has GF ever changed TM compatibility mid-gen? Focus Blast/Thunder would be awesome, but I don't think that'll be a thing.
And I'm starting to come to grips with mega Beedrill. At least its design is nice (can't say the same about the mega Latis though). Hopefully it'll get the necessary boosts to have some competitive relevance. Adaptability was a step in the right direction. And I was wondering, if there were a mega Butterfree, how could it set itself apart from Vivillion? Even if Butterfree got Hurricane, it would miss the utility of Focus Sash/Leftovers or the power of Life Orb. I think GF gave us the right Kanto Bug (but mega Scolipede would've been waaaaay better - Speed Boost abuse before mega evolving, already learns Mega Horn and Earthquake, higher BST).
On a different note, I remember back in 2002 reading in a pokémon magazine that the upcoming GBA games would allow you to fly through the region, battling wild pokémon and trainers along the way. I remember seeing the picture of a Double Battle where a pokémon was using Faint Attack and that looked like the background of a sky battle at dusk. Just another pointless rumor (like Mewthree) that turned out to be true years later. Great job GF. Great Job.
