So each person can only be voted for once right?

Not necessarily, you're voting 3 Megas for each Pokémon. If someone submitted a Mega for two or more of those 'mons and you like both of them, feel free to vote for them.

But don't put all your votes for Mega Vileplume on one person's Mega Vileplume, for example.

Oh, yes. I just finished up the last of my submissions, and I have to say these four were fun to work with indeed. Now just to wait for submissions to open again to submit them (don't worry, I won't jump the gun this time!)

Just finished mine too and I'm looking forward to yours :) Make sure you get the math right this time :p
 
Omg Arcanine yes, finally something with an already good BST to work with.

I'm usually against Pixilate variants due to uncreatively slapping them on fucking everything, but a fire variant would be pretty cool on Arcanine. Remember when Extreme Speed used to be its signature move?

I have a feeling you're going to steal my idea... :P

Arcanine
Fire --> Fire
Intimidate/Flash Fire/Justified --> Moxie
90/110/80/100/80/95 (BST 555) --> 90/150/100/120/110/105 (BST: 655)
New Moves: Blaze Kick
Moxie allows Arcanine to use its once signature move, Extremespeed, to greater effect and gives it a way to boost its attack. Blaze Kick gives Arcanine a strong, non-recoil Fire type attack to use, which can be very handy on defensive sets, but Flare Blitz is still more reliable overall. Speaking of defensive sets, the added bulk and speed allows it to use Will-o-Wisp, Toxic and Morning Sun more often and more quickly, while maintaining an offensive presence thanks to a high attack stat, strong physical Fire moves and Moxie. All three of its abilities are useful for it pre-Mega, though Intimidate is most consistent and is more helpful defensively. Mega Arcanine will be a threatening sweeper and wallbreaker capable of defensive feats.

Please refrain from posting sets until after the voting period is over thanks!

I don't think he said "go".
 
I actually see a more defensive presence being possible here. Morning Sun and already respectable 90 / 80 / 80 defenses could be greatly expanded upon.
 
so with the new moves, are we giving those to the non-mega fully evolved pokemon too? will the new moves replace moves in certain slots once the pokemon becomes a mega? surely with a new ability, 100 stat points, and new typing we can make these pokemon viable without the addition of new moves.
 
Although personally I think we could submit every day, and that while voting for one batch is going on, we can submit the next. That way we're constantly submitting and voting on Megas. Because I feel like taking two days for each batch is going pretty slowly, I've already completed a ton. Working on Omastar right now.

I assume so. Pokémon that got new moves got them as Egg moves, level up moves, or TMs. For example, Squirtle has Aura Sphere as an Egg move and Blastoise has Dark Pulse as a TM move so Mega Blastoise ends up with Dark Pulse and Aura Sphere which it only really gets because of its ability.
 
acestriker19 can we boost a stat over 255? While this won't be an issue for most Pokemon, for something like Shuckle, who's Atk, SpA and Spe are so low we can't make them viable and defenses are so close to 255 it might be a problem

While a single-day program is indeed possible, a two-day system allows everyone some more breathing room. Some people prefer the extra day to really flesh out their Megas, myself included. Additionally, the council that reviews the Megas and counts the votes are already rather squished as is, since in addition to the 4 Megas every two days, there is an additional pile of 80-something Megas we're trying to go over at the same time; it would get too hectic to have to both count votes, present new Megas, and deal with old ones at the same time. Maybe after we clear up the pile of already-submitted Megas, we could put this into action, but as of right now it would be too much for us to handle.

The problem is the games just don't allow this. It does feel bad that we can't boost Shuckle's stats that high though... I guess you can try giving it a really good ability instead.

i guess i didn't pay enough attention to some of the megas we already had. adding new moves to these pokemon doesn't seem as much like overkill now.

What clapyourhands said but I already wrote this out so I might as well say it:

Its really hard for everyone to find time to submit a mega each day I think I might be going a bit fast at four every two days. I understand downtime makes it more difficult to keep interest in this thread but if you guys want you can take this time to discuss the project in general or even begin to talk about ideas for each mega without submitting anything. Additionally the downtime on this thread gives me extra time to balance as well as this meta will not be released unless I feel it is pretty balanced. I like the system we have right now but I'm open to constructive criticism.

I don't think we can go over 255 as Shuckle is the only problem pokemon and it be weird to bend the rules just for shuckle I'll keep that in mind when we get to it though thanks!

I feel this would be a Pokemon we wouldn't mind giving a more OP ability to. Something like Magic Guard/Bounce or Regenerator. But I'll submit my suggestion when we get there

Of course. Shuckle has been rooted in NU for a reason.

Maybe give it Prankster and for new moves Spikes, Recover, and Taunt. Swap that Rock type for Steel. gg everything.
