Also, now that we are officially getting the Mega lati's, it's going to be interesting to see what they look like. Will they actually give them differing designs now? Will they match the original colors? I still think that purple thing was just a beta form, I'll be shocked if that's truly how they look.
But the problem with that is they'll then need to prevent their Mega Stone from being transferable between games. Which, while possible, would kind of defeat the purpose of including them in XY. I mean, it could be possible that they are early beta and when ORAS was decided upon they just stopped working on them.
In addition they actually aren't the same model, surprisingly enough. Their body looks the same, but their eyes are different colors. In addition I think they also have different animations.
They'd be hard-pressed to explain how a purple Mega Lati design that they both MEvo into in XY is just a placeholder form for new, individual forms.
Besides, I kinda like how they evolve into the same thing. It's like, through mega evolution and the bonds of friendship, their body gains the second half of a whole Lati and they transcend their mystical connection to each other.
Thanks, miracles.
Very possibly. Just like with Aerodactyl, they could go with the idea that this is sort of the Eon Duo's "ancient form". A long time ago the Eon Duo were one single species, however the differences in gender for some reason caused them to split into two different species. Them Mega Evolving could be then looked upon them returning to their roots, showing that only when they're together can the Eon Duo access their true potential (which apparently doesn't give them a Speed boost despite being based on a jet plane, moreso in their Mega Evolution...).
What doesn't get Knock Off?
I'm seriously pissed that they're giving Megas to Mons that will be worthless even after Mega Evolving. First Audino, now Beedrill (Pidgeot is salvageable because it has an actual BST). Neither of those Pokemon are available in Hoenn as far as we know so they don't even have the excuse of being usable in the story.
I think they should maybe try to do something with Fell Stinger. It sounds like an interesting move and maybe if supported it could actually make Mega Beedrill a threat
And at least Beedrill is fully evolved. Besides Mawile's BST is 380 yet it became a beast thanks to the right Ability.
And once again I'm going to mention my theory of them expanding the Hoenn Pokedex to include a lot more Pokemon.
Can't wait for the reveal. Mega Beedrill I'd like to try out along with Pidgeot. Nice to see GF giving pokemon a mega who otherwise couldn't really be improved upon other than having BST's completely reworked.
Which is what they should have done in the first place instead of giving Pokemon were still able to evolve normally a Mega Evolution...
