Perhaps not influenced by the player, as they are meant to be genetic, but at least transparent
That's what you took from that? Well, I'm still hoping that he'll be kind enough to let the rest of us have fun with his game.
I'm personally hoping that you're able to freely Mega Evolve at will once you met the requirements. That way you would be able to switch in Mawile, Intimidate the enemy, turn into Mega Mawile and Swords Dance on the switch.

I don't mind 3rd stage pokemon getting a mega evolution; especially if it makes them competitvelly viable again. For single or two stage pokemon however my only problem with mega evolutions is the uncertainty of wether or not they will still get normal evolutions. For instance design wise mega mawile looks perfect for a second stage mawile evo. The same goes for absol, kangaskhan and lucario.
If getting a mega evolution means that that particular pokemon family is done(no more evolutions ever) then I really hate the mega evolutions as a concept. If it turns out that pokemon like mawile and absol can still get evolutions the normal way either now or in the future then I'm ok with mega-evolutions. That is why I'm hopping that at least one of the pokemon families(mawile , khangaskhan, absol, lucario or others) will be getting a "normal" evolution this generation. This is the 6th generation after all! Where are my "permanent" evolutions for one stage and two stage pokemon families?
Perhaps these Mega evos will be permanent if you transfer them to the next generation
They're not going to call it evil type in English speaking countries because of the crazy religious fundamentalists already thinking this game promotes Satanism. They try to avoid that aspect
You are assuming Fairy is weak to fire. No Fairy-type ups besides dragon is officially confirmed
No, it's October through January
Nah, all starters have the same ability applying to different type moves, no matter the generation. Except 5, but those are hidden and hard to obtain
it is because they were meant to be rendered in 3D, so th 2D art is going to look off and a little unbalanced
Just box Torchic to use later

Jesus christ, double post much? (And a lot more than double at that).
And According to the rumor, the pokebeach one that was 90% correct, Fairy is weak to poison and steel. People are basing off that considering 90% of the rumor is correct mostly and barely anything has been disproven (aka a slight name difference in the panda pokemon iirc) So it's safe to assume poison steel weakness, which they thought Fire was because they didn't remember Fire and Psychic's resist Fairy. So much confusion over a rumor lol.
So is it true that mega scizor got mentioned in an interview recently? I've seen that rumor floating around a lot now.
Scizor: The forever viable pokemon
Scizor: The forever viable pokemon
Where was this rumor? Links?
Scizor was viable after it got bullet punch in platinum. Before that it was UU.
It is implied that all you need is a mega stone to allow for mega evolution. If you need a specific Mareep and a specific Riolu from specific events to use the Mega Stones that are hidden around the region, I think people are going to start drawing lines at where they'd feel comfortable at looking to use MEvo'd Pokémon.
Besides, it's a big new game mechanic, so there shouldn't be a reason that they'd want to restrict the availability of Pokémon that can MEvo.
I'm still very impressed at how the new designs continue to fill out nicely in 3D. You can see that they put a lot of artistic focus on creating shapes that outline really well in the cel-shaded battlefield.
Wow. Your right it will be a big game mechanic. Be good to see some of the smaller guys get a boost.
This just in via Bulbanews
A list of trademarked names tied to Mega Evolution, involving names such as Aerodactyl, Gengar and Aggron.
Ninja'd. Yeah, might as well write it at once and edit it out if I weren't.

huh... I googled it, and this is what people keep linking to: http://www.elotrolado.net/hilo_ho-pokemon-x-amp-pokemon-y_1853422_s7550#p1733266600
Is this Hiro guy very credible?
Mega Gardevoir? ... Just... just keep buffing everything weak I like, GF. Go ahead and keep doing that.
I must admit, I somewhat expected Tyranitar to get a Mega Evolution. It's the poster child for "badass unstoppable" save certain legendaries, and it's very popular among fans. I suspect the latter to be the reason behind Scizor and Heracross' listings too (even if it turns out to be fake, it's nice to see that at least the "leaker" thinks the same way as I do).
I guess I would have named Pinsir and Jynx for candidates too, if I had given them any thought at all. It will be exciting to see if all of these trademarks end up being used, and whether or not Mega Evolutions signal the end of cross-generational traditional evolutions (making Sylveon the last one for the foreseeable future).

If that ends up true, I do not want to face MegaTyranitar. Still unhappy that every mega evolution appears offensive.
One thing's for sure, mega evolution would make vgc battles so much more exciting as a spectator/commentator.
The way the official site worded Ampharos' blurb, makes it sound like there might be some condition before Mega Evolving. The way they say changing type mid-battle, as if you could use regular Ampharos for some time before evolving. I'm thinking Mega Evolutions have some kind of condition that must be met (they'll have to be careful how they execute that, or else we might get some dead in the water evolutions a la Darmanitan Zen Mode) OR has anyone thought that maybe you can control when evolution activates?
If you check the Japanese version of the most recent trailer the pokemon has full health and it also has a symbol that indicates that it mega evolved (00:23). Could this mean that mega-evolution is instantaneous?

Like I said earlier, it's likely just going to be a 5th option on the Attack menu to induce Mega Evolution at will at the cost of a turn. But thankfully, we should know the details of Mega Evolution very soon thanks to the X/Y demo being playable this weekend. I'm sure someone will report on it.
I agree. But I feel that after evolving it can attack on the same turn after watching this trailer. I get this feeling that mega-evolution gives this vibe of "wildcard", to keep the surprise factor. Imagine every team having one "wildcard" mega-evolution that you can choose when you want to reveal. If it was instantaneous, it wouldn't really feel very "wildcard-like" as it would ruin the surprise if it was roared/whirlwinded in. It would make battles a lot more exciting.
wait theres a demo? is it a downloadable thing or in stores and if it is,is it region specific?
