...so do we no longer eat Slowpoke Tails out of fear that Mega Slowbro will terrorize us late at night?
I think that ingame when a pokemon goes mega, after defeating it, it gives the same experience as its base form so sadly we wouldn't get a giant amount of exp more.Mega Audino.
Lucky Egg+Mega Audino= Racking in all of the experience.
If the only big boost is to its defense, it's gonna be pretty situational. If it loses speed like Garchomp did, then it's completely useless.People are iffy on megamence? Did its insane sweeping potential not alleviate that fear!? Cool pic by the way.
Welp, that's depressing.I think that ingame when a pokemon goes mega, after defeating it, it gives the same experience as its base form so sadly we wouldn't get a giant amount of exp more.
I'm personally rather glad Gen 1 got more Megas, due to Gen 3 just going completely Mega-Happy and having more Megas. Like... I dunno, I just have this feeling that even though Gen 1's far from my favourite, as the original generation it should probably have the most Megas of any other Gen.Really? Not only are these megas hideous but they detract from the possibility of My water/fairy Mega Milotic. The quintessential contest pokemon, featured in the contest issue, that reveals contest mega evolution...and Slowbro gets the mega.
If anything it should have been Slowking, Kanto has enough rabid fans as is.
Based on the Slowpoke line being noted for being slow on the uptake, it's probable that he has no idea what has happened to him. He might not even realize he mega-evolved and just wonders where his legs went!I can't help but giggle at M-slowbro's design. So sad. So perplexed.
I love it though.

Also like 50% of gen 2 is just stuff tacked on to gen 1 families anyways. like if you want a Slowking Mega that just being really complainy. In all honesty Mega Slowbro embodies more of Slowking's trait than Slowbro's anyways. The gen 2 things that REALLY need megas are the other 50% that isn't actually gen 1 stuff. All the single or two stage evo things that are forgotten in the ether of the pokedex: Quilfish, Griafarig, Lanturn, Xatu etc.I'm personally rather glad Gen 1 got more Megas, due to Gen 3 just going completely Mega-Happy and having more Megas.

Not necessarily. Remember that Garchomp lacks dragon dance to patch it's speed. Salamence does have it. Combined with intimidate prior to mega-evolving, a boost to defense could give it more opportunities to set up dragon dance. Also, while sandIf the only big boost is to its defense, it's gonna be pretty situational. If it loses speed like Garchomp did, then it's completely useless.
Slowbro got the mega not king and i already used one from time to time. I will use the mega as well. Banette's mega is fine, just very situational. Sableye is also going to surprise some people I think. It has a great typing and a usable defense stat now. With prankster before megaing, it can really mess with an opponent. I see an interesting stall breaker in sableye's future.It's just me or slapping a mega-evo in something which currently NEEDS an evo (audino, sableye, mawile) its feels really stupid?
An How about slowking? I mean, really someone its gonna used him now wit this? I don't know, currently the "mega-evolution" concept its cool aplicated in pokemon really strong or in a 3rd stage because its feels like one upgrade with interesting limitations (no item for not be broken, not HP increased and you can only have one in your team) but slapping in a thing like audino, sableye or banette... Just no.
An what about slowking... Anyone its gonna used him after this?
Really, anything its gonna a evolve in the regular way (except eevee... maybe) never more? I jus't don't feel right that evolution is replaced forever by the mega-evolution.
I like it, actually. It gives team building an extra dimension, allowing GF to limit your use of the 'new evolutions' whilst also allowing them to create a lot of really powerful and diverse monsters who whilst not utterly ruining the game with power creep. As bad as some of the new megas have been, imagine what the XY metagame would be like if the bulk of the current crop of megas were normal evolutions and you could use them all on the same team. Now add the current crop of upcomings...It's just me or slapping a mega-evo in something which currently NEEDS an evo (audino, sableye, mawile) its feels really stupid?

I think, if done right, this actually would be the best case scenario for the metagame as a whole, because it essentially would significantly increase the diversity of teams that we, as competitive players, would likely encounter.Can we stop griping on who didn't get a mega or who deserves one? For one, they ARE going to not reveal some of them until the release date so there are many options still on the table. After all,
is still an option some day.
