yes i think that fairy type will fit Meganium the most. he will gain many usefull resistence and one immnue.
i hope that his movepool will become bigger.

Really? That is a shame.
Personally I'm hopping we get Water/Dragon Ferraligatr, that way we'd have one different starter dragon for each gen and for each starter type; as for Typlosion I'd like to get a non-Fire/Fighting starter that isn't weak to SR, so I'm hopping it could become Fire/Ground.
If that happens, I think it should get boosts in either Attack, Special Attack, or Speed. Not to mention that regardless of fire still resisting it, that it has earthquake, which I hope it keeps.
When are we likely to find out about stats of the new megas? I'm just wondering because I can't remember if we got early information with XY, and I don't want to try Masuda Method a Treecko until I know if I should go mixed, pure special etc. Thinking Hasty/Naive is the best bet though as it could bait Charizard Y fairly well with Rock Slide, or Heatran with EQ.
release, lol.
If they do a Mega Flygon, but not a Mega Salamence, I will be pissed. Flygon will never be viable when Garchomp's an option, because they are too similar, and their main difference forces Flygon to keep it's ability and not get some game changer. I'd love to see something like Sand Stream Flygon or whatever, but Salamence would be much better.
All Salamence needs is something to make it noteworthy over Charizard. A 10 point boost to speed would do that. A 700 BST means monster offenses, and Moxie and Intimidate are the two best abilities for base pokemon, so if MegaMence got something new like Sheer Force, he'd be one of the best pokemon in the entire game.
Honestly, Mega Salamence is guarenteed hype, so I don't see why they wouldn't, other than some self imposed limit on the number of megas.

Solid Rock or Solar Power > Dry Skin. Do you realy think it would enjoy a Fire weakness?
We know that the paintings could be on Granite cave, which could mean early mega stones.
Has anyone actually find the trademark list that contains Flygon/ Metagross/ Salamence?
If not, then you don't have enough evidence to talk about them.
Plain speculation

Yeah, fairy is the only type(other than dragon) that would work for the grass dinasaur. It would lose the bug weakness and gain a dark and fighting resistance+dragon immunity. Still would be an inferior venasaur though. Unless it gets an amazing ability and/or a grass or fairy boomburst.....
Being recieved on Emerald after completing the Dex. Definitely more than Kanto starters to Kalos
it would still have a fire resist, just a slightly less powerful one. dry skin is only a 1.25x multiplier to fire moves, so camerupt would take 0.625x fire damage. enticing it to operate in the sun with solar power gives it more vulnerability to fire moves than dry skin.
but even if it lost the fire resist entirely, i think a water immunity would more than make up for it.
No, but it's more than pure speculation. My list here:
lists all the pokes it's logical to assume will get megas sometime in the future. Here's the reasoning I used to justify talking about them:
Gallade and Milotic are the most reasonable because they are commonly referred to as counterparts of Gardevoir and Gyarados, who both received megas. We know from the Sableye announcement that they will be giving pokemon who's counterparts received megas in X and Y megas of their own, so it's only logical to assume that Gallade and Milotic are high on the list of candidates as well. Discussing how the megas would work is only a natural progression of this.
The Psuedos follow similar logic. While I don't find it logical to assume Dragonite and Hydreigon will get megas, returning to their home region is literally the best opportunity GF will ever have to introduce Salamence's and Metagross's megas. While there's not a lot of evidence confirming it, things like Steven potentially being champion give us reason to discuss them.
Besides the confirmed ones, the starters probably won't happen though, at least not with ORAS.
And the others are based on popularity and serve the purpose of fillers. Discussing those would be pure speculation, so I simply haven't.
I've said many times Flygon doesn't make sense, so there's no point to discuss it, but the ones I just mentioned do, and it can't hurt to talk about them.

Nothing.
But Birch gave you one of the Johto starters once you completed the Dex (National ou Regional? can't recall) in Emerald. So there's that.
They are. Wulfric himself says Water is better, but he won't change his Gym type because he's too stubborn.
Game Freak absolutely DOESN'T CARE about Ice. That's Ice gimmick.
At least there's Mega Abomasnow, though being the one single ice type with a mega.
Still better than none though.
I actually like this since I'm so used to it. In Y I still find myself going into the Pokemon Center with the intention of selling something, but then something tells me "oops, wrong building," and I walk out. I get confused for a bit, then I remember that the Mart is inside the Center.
And that's only because Ice is "good" in Doubles, and only because of STAB Blizzard spam.
the problem with Meganium is that his movepool is pretty small,if he will not get any moves during the new games he should stay at the defensive spot trying to wall resistence moves,i hope the buffs of him will be at his both defences,since his defences are higher than normal venusaur.
Of course that we need to see the ability he will get but i hope gamefreak will make his Mega evolution a fairy type to, if they are making him one.
Mega evolution seems to be everwhere,every pokemon now will get one? it looks now very weird i think.
as i said,i will buy Alpha Saphirre,i always liked Kyogre and i doesnt want to imagine his stats grow even bigger in his new transformation of primal evolution,if that the name of it.
Yay. HGSS adapted the Pokémon Centers to have the Trade Center on the main floor instead of mechanic stairs.
Oh well. I still think there will be at least one more ice type mega coming.
Otherwise, it would be a complete joke.
I really hope it's regional, since the National Pokédex requires you to have the Johto starters, which would make the other scenario a bit of a catch-22.
Also, it's important to note that Wulfric doesn't explicitly say that the Water-type is better; rather, he's talking about people's flexible or rigid personalities. However, I can definitely see the implication.
Mega Glaile and Mega Froslass, for example?
Wait don't you need the Jotho starters to even complete the Pokedex. Is it maybe the national dex then?
You just needed to complete the Hoenn dex - Treecko, Torchic and Mudkip are the only starters in that one.
