He could have regular Flygon during the story, then have Mega Flygon post story, just like your rival in X/Y didn't have Mega Absol until you beat the game.

I believe in RSE you get Secret Bases before beating the Elite Four, so it's almost certain you'll meet him before then. What Valmanway said works, although as long as it appears in the point of the story after you have already found out about Mega Evolution, I don't see it being a problem.
While I would not be surprised, exactly, to see Aurane to have a Mega Flygon, I don't really see how his character, with what little we know about him, would be connected to Mega Evolution. Flygon does seem to hold a viable candidacy for Mega Evolution (if only in my, and many others' heads...), but at this point, I couldn't care less one way or the other if he has one; I'm more interested in the prospect of Mega Flygon in general.
In all likelihood, he'll be the guy to introduce us to Secret Power instead, replacing the kid who did so originally. In fact, if you look at the screenshot where the full bagginess of his eyes can be seen, the background looks very similar to the landscape of what I'd expect for the northern Route 111 area, which is where Secret Bases were introduced originally. There is also another screenshot of him in the treehouse that appears to be the decorations store in Fortree. So yeah, I'd expect to meet him during the game; just watch his Flygon know Secret Power...
Also, as he is stated to be a world traveler, that could indicate plans to introduce Secret Bases in other regions as well, and perhaps take the form of another Looker. At the very least, I'd think that he may be seen hanging around Etrena City and the Underground, come the Sinnoh remakes.
Well, looking at the picture on Seribii, he doesn't have any mega bangle/neckless on him. I'm assuming you first meet him on Route 111 (after you come out of the volcano cave) Where he is at the tree and gives you Secret Power TM. I'm assuming this is where you first meet him because in RSE a cool trainer was there, and since he's an expert on secret bases, it would make sense for him to give the tm to you. But I think super secret bases would be in the post game, since it's a secret, I guess after beating the champion, he would think your worthy and tell you the secrets about super secret bases. This is just a theory, but it could happen.
That's a good observation that we missed. So yeah, it looks like at least in the first battle with Aarune he won't have Mega Flygon.
When do you guys believe the player will receive the mega bangle/ring. I would assume its when we first met Steven but that seems way to early in the game. I believe it will come either after the lilycove events or after mt. Pyre let me know what you guys think.
Eduardo2013 I haven't really played the original RSE so I'm not entirely sure where those events line up, but I feel like they did it at a pretty good time in XY. That would be after the third gym, which is a little less than halfway through. (Although granted, the time between the first and second gyms in XY is huge)
The interesting thing here is that XY was an original game, so they were able to introduce Megas however they wanted. The story of RSE is already written, so I'm curious as to whether they'll somehow integrate Mega discovery into one of the original game's events or if they'll just put something completely new.

I think a good place would be the second time you meet Steven, on Route 118 (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Steven_Stone#Pok.C3.A9mon_Ruby_and_Sapphire_2). This would be after the fifth gym, which had levels in the low 30's, just before you get to evolve your starter. While X/Y let you do it after the third, the level curve was much higher in that game so the levels are actually around the same point.
^I also believe that this is Route 118, so it would make sense.
AFAIK, these would be the best Pokemon for EV grinding in the Super Secret Bases. All but Defense have a non-damaging sacrifical move; all of the Memento Pokemon that give Defense EVs only give 2. All of the Pokemon with Healing Wish need a Toxic Orb to wear themselves down, since Healing Wish won't work if there are no Pokemon in reserve.
HP: Blissey (Healing Wish)
-Attack: Gallade (Memento)
-Defense: Metagross (Explosion; use a Ghost)
-Special Attack: Latios (Memento)
-Special Defense: Latias (Healing Wish)
-Speed: Jumpluff (Memento)
Did I miss anything?

Well, it could be hidden on his left hand or something, like how Maxie's and Archie's art have them covering their mega stones. He could have a ring or something. That being said, I doubt he will have a Mega Flygon on him the first time.
>making a team of six level 100 latios/six level 100 latias
this is going to be fun :')
I'm pretty sure that Super Secret Bases are the new type of Secret Bases that will be found in ORAS, rather than an upgrade to something that you can already to in ORAS. It's sort of like how Super Contests were DPPt's version of the RSE Contests.
Do you guys that battle spot will be implemented to have 6 v 6 if so that would amazing to test teams non stop because in honesty 3 v 3 is very subpar that's why I never used battle spot for pokemon x and y.
Secret bases? This thread reopened? Possible Mega-Flygon? Mother of God, I can't take so much happiness.. I feel like I'm about to expl...
Damn. My computer.
Damn. My computer.
link for possible mega flygon? i saw about secret bases, but not this. googlefu is just giving me lots of speculation stuff with no actual link to why everyone is speculating.
also, so hyped for secret bases. i didn't have any rl friends who played in gen III, so i didn't get into them much, but reading about all the things you can do and the fact that you can share them with other people is getting me pretty hyped. i wonder if we'll have some sort of portal like the friend safari to look at everyone's bases.
NVM: found it... the super secret base guy mentions flygon....
seems like people are reaching, but omg i would love mega flygon more than anything
It's important to keep in mind that Pokemon Showdown and Pokemon Online shorten the message time and animations tremendously from that on the actual game. 6v6 matches can take a long time, especially if a player plays something like stall. The Battle Spot metagames are designed for you to play a few games in a short period of time, not for people to have extremely long games that deplete the 60 minute timer each time. Also, please try to use some punctuation, it makes it easier for everyone.
It's not exactly the same, but Battle Spot is having a special ladder next season where it is 6v6 with no items (which is a really clever way to make the games not last as long as regular 6v6 battles).
There wasn't really any real hint that Mega Flygon is a thing, except for an important character having a Flygon. I (and others) just hope it is because we really want him to have it. Haha
So you're going to give Exp and EVs? You're so generous! If you have Latias and Latios on Emerald, though, and can clone them, they learn their sacrificial moves relatively early on, Latios at 5 in Emerald and Latias as a base in XY, and that would everything needed for the EVs. So really, if you want to train them, you could just train them on Mt. Battle, clone them, and send them on up.
Taunt may help the Wishers struggle themselves to death, but Metagross would be the wrong way to go. A 0 Atk- IV Golem would be better in that respect, as Selfdestruct can be bred onto Geodude, and the Golem could be achieved a minimum level of 25, as opposed to a 0 Atk- IV level 45 Metagross, who learns Explosion through a TM. Neither set is ideal, but the Golem is more survivable.
No, the best answer, I think, would be Belly Drum Poliwrath with an even Hp stat, where the trainee uses something to reduce his attack the same turn. It's not ideal, but if ...
...
So. What do you think the mechanics of Exp. Share will be here? Ugh.
If it's an Exp. All again, ignore the Poliwrath, go with Metagross or Golem, your pick. Use a ghost.
Actually, I remember someone (Age of Kings I think) talking about how no items encourages stall because you won't have things like Choice Specs or Life Orb to muscle past things.
To stay on topic, these Secret Bases look great in 3D from what little we've seen and being able to have your own "Gym" is a neat concept. I just hope there's some Mon filtering so people can't just slap their Kyogre on a team and rolfstomp all the challengers.
Hopefully Exp. All and Mega-Kan get nerfed on this game.
Nothing is stopping you from not using the EXP Share if it makes the game too easy for you. Why nerf it when it makes grinding to level 100 so much easier?

I'm no good at math, but by eyeballing those screenshots, it looks like you can place more than 16 items at a time in your secret base.
Also, something about the wording around the NPCs is bothering me. Are other players being invited into our secret base through wireless connection, or are we going to happen upon our friends secret bases like in the original RSE after connecting? Or is it both, where our friends' bases show up in the overworld and we can receive challenges by random wireless connection/passerby tech?
I think I need Aarune, several months before getting to deal with him and his dark circles, to explain what's going on with the new secret base mechanics.

Well it also seems like they are aiming to provide more answers against Mega-Khan or at least more mega options entice users away from M-Khan.
So many people complain about the exp. share and want it nerfed in ORAS. Have you even tried XY with it turned off? The game is actually really good and actually quite challenging (provided you haven't stacked your team). Mega evolution makes the game way too easy also, do you want them to nerf that during story play too? No, you just don't click [MEGA EVOLVE] against every trainer, same for exp. share, you can have it on to catch some under-levelled mons up then take it off, or just don't use it all together! Not to mention how good it is for post-game grinding / EV training. Seriously if they nerfed it I would be upset
To be fair with regards to Exp. Share, if you were on a lightning fast run and only beat those you have to beat, then Exp. Share can be fine. It is just that people generally tend to beat all the trainers along the way for experience and with the Exp. Share on, the levels add up really quickly.
I guess it is okay and while I personally prefer the pre-XY Exp. Share, I guess the XY Exp. Share is here to stay in ORAS at least (and by extension, all main-series games in Gen VI).
And yeah, XY was definitely challenging with the Exp. Share turned off, especially if you are running a full team of six mons (all being leveled up).
