So the legendary trio this time is just the Gen1 bird trio roaming around? No well hidden ones like the Regi's (seriously, who didn't find those guys without a guide, honestly)?

I'm oddly okay with that. I'm even okay with the lower new pokemon total.

I suppose there could be some super double secret old legends hiding in Kalos, buuuuut I kind of doubt it.

And yes, Mewtwo Y is a lot less impressive when you factor in the loss of an item.

It's still pretty damn impressive. Mewtwo was already impressive even amongst ubers. Mega Mewtwo Y has comparable SpA to life orb mewtwo but with higher speed and without 10% health loss after attacking.

Of course, he'll be nothing compared to the inevitable Mega Arceus with like 800 BST and an ability that makes him every type at once.

You use the word "fanservice" like it's exclusively a bad thing. In some cases, it might be, but in Pokémon's case, it's face-meltingly awesome and A-OK with me.

Like Green Thunder and Whitman Greninja'd, Mawile's a perfect example of a relatively weak fan-favorite that benefits greatly from Mega Evolution.

And Charizard? Top tier? Really?

Charizard is a Top-Tier Threat in NU due to it's Ability to 2HKO virtually everything with Solar Powered Boosted Attacks. And as of it's reference as a "shitmon", that's funny because Charizard receives Usage in just about all the Upper Tiers, above some that are considered better than it. This shows that it has at least some Viability as a Sun Sweeper; an unprepared OU Team can find itself torn apart by a Charizard with Rapid Spin Support.

Good job on finding literally one Pokemon that was considered Weak before Mega Evolution, lol, but 1 out of the several that received Mega Evolutions were based off of Popularity and "what the older fans want", instead of giving Pokemon that deserve it more such as Corsola or Butterfree more Viability :(

Both of these Pokemon are fairly popular, why didn't they along with Mawile receive a Mega Evo?

Although I understand where your coming from with the "fanservice is good" argument, I'm going to have to disagree in this case that fanservice was the best route to go because upon that, we arrive at my point yet again: Mega Evolution isn't necessary, it is instead a Fanservice that results in the destruction of an already defined Gameplay with the recent Type Chart Update. In fact, Mega Evolution contradicts itself in that by powering up Fan favorite Pokemon, they actually overshadow and distort the image of the original, which can cause the Older fanbase to actually dislike it rather than be attracted to it.

But none of that is relevant, as the point is, "Mega Evolution is completely unnecessary Game Mechanic" as we have gone through 5 Generations in 15 Years with a strong, growing fanbase. Its presence can actually cause a decrease in fan base as well. And just because you like it, because its a "A-okay" to you or whatever, that doesn't speak for everyone.

I feel That I'm sending the message that I dislike Mega Evolution as well. I do not particularly dislike it, I just don't feel its necessary- Aka I'm neutral on the subject. However, what I DO dislike is what Pokemon are receiving it, :the majority of who were just fine without them, while other Pokemon who need it are just flat out ignored.

ha! you think MegaArceus will only have 800 BST. you will be sadly mistaken, he'll have a base stat of 255 in EVERY STAT for a total of 1530, while being every type in the game at once

Stealth Rock wins again.
 
Mega Arceus's ability will be some crazy shit. Also, true, Mega Arceus doesn't have to take damage if it don't want to and it can decide the fate of all things.

Edit: I'm a camel :)
 
that's probably good for all of mankind, he'd probably erase your game if even thought about

what level is that skrelp the one leaker is obsessing over

I was here for Gen IV leaks, Gen V leaks, and Gen VI leaks. Good times.

Anyways, continue with the leaking.

Also, I'm ok with the low new Pokemon total. I think it's more sustainable for the franchise in the long run.

yeah i want quality over quantity. personally i dont want 100 new garbage pokemon with lame designs. i like the ones we already have and the new type chart + mega evolution will revitalize quite a few pokemon.

Guys. I hate to break it to ya but... THERE WILL BE NO MEGA ARCEUS. -__-

I don't doubt it. Even TrollFreak's gotta know that that sort of shit would be grossly overpowered, even by grossly overpowered standards.

39, last I heard, though he's currently trying to get through the sixth Gym to get to the move relearner- his current theory is that Skrelp needs to level up while knowing Camouflage to evolve, and he made his forget the move. Unfortunately, he seems to be stuck.

If you want to argue the suitability of Mega Evolution, it may be better to take that to the other thread, since it's more of a general discussion.

In brief, though, here's what Mega Evolution brings to the table:
A fifth move. A fifth move that can only be used once, is unpredictable, and alters how a pokemon plays. It allows you to adopt one Pokemon as a "signature" pokemon; lord knows how frustrated I always got back in RBY when Moltres was my signature, but Mewtwo was clearly the actual high performer on the team. It's worth noting that every single Mega except, arguably, Blaziken alters how the Pokemon acts in a normal role.
 
I think the top priority in a new Pokemon game should be new Pokemon. That said, I am a bit disappointed in that regard. Also, legendary trio have always been one of the most exciting things about new Pokemon so I hope this gen legendary trio are still hiding yet to be found.

Nevertheless, a solid story can somewhat make up for the lack of new Pokemon and Mega evolution are cool as long as they outdo LO.

Yeah, I know that they know a Mega Arceus would be way overpowered. Thats why I say there wont be a M-Arceus
