I hate to be "that guy" who isn't letting something go, but seeing as we're in the last couple days for this thread, I just wanted to ask something that's been on my mind regarding some of these recent concepts. Basically, if a concept is good, but for whatever reason it's not the right time to...

The reason defensive boosting moves are rarely used is because they're way too slow to use on most walls. A good defensive pokemon is able to switch into big hits at a whim, potentially from already boosted attackers, and something that relies on boosting moves to wall would be totally unable to...

So, you guys have definitely convinced me that the concept would require a good deal of finesse to get right, and knowing that, should probably wait until after we have a Mega CAP under our belt so we can do it justice. Maybe even by CAP 22, if we're not Mega-fatigued by that point. That said, I...

Sorry, I should have clarified, my concept was The Patient Mega, not The Charizard Gambit. I agree, creating a pokemon with two different Mega forms is definitely not the place to start with our first mega project, but I think my concept is much more manageable.

I'd just like to know, why do you feel that my concept (The Patient Mega) would be any less forgiving than other Mega projects? The way I see it in my head, all you would need is two forms with slightly different playstyles that are both relatively similar in terms of overall power, and as long...

Reposting this concept now that Mega-CAP concepts are a go, with some slight modifications to better conform to Doug's guidelines. Name: The Patient Mega General Description: A pokemon that can Mega Evolve, but has strong reasons not to do so until the time is right. Justification: Even...

Quanyalis, that first stage's color scheme is looking a little.... familiar. You're not still sore, are you? :P Beyond that, I love the thematic progression of both of them, but I think the second stage could be differentiated a tad more, as at this point, it's more or less Navi minus oars and...

Water Veil/Heatproof/Friend Guard

Looks perfect to me, wouldn't expect anything else. And honestly, it's so far looked like we're 100% in agreement for the second prevo, so I don't see any need for that on the slate. And I think that all three of the above abilities feel better to me than Thick Fat/Weak Armor.

Given that DougJustDoug has just given the Mega Cap an OK, would it be alright for me to update and repost my Patient Mega concept? I'd like to rework it to better conform to the standards that Doug emphasized, and it should be more visible now that it's not illegal.

No, no one has ever thought of that before. http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/mega-evolution.3495506/ http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/mega-evolutions-for-past-caps.3524105/ http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/mega-cap.3543657/ Also, next time, questions like this should go in...

I'm not quite sure why you feel that the fact that other Pokemon already fit this description is a reason not to make a CAP on it. The point of the project is not always to carve out new territory, but rather just to learn more about the metagame, and I think this kind of submission would...

My vote would also go for Swift Swim replacing Light Metal for the first prevo, followed by all the same. I don't really see too many other ways to go besides what's already been said, so there's not much else left to really say here, I think.
