I don't like it either but for a different reason. I don't like the idea of giving every pokemon that needs a boost a mega evolution. It's so frustrating to GF giving them out to so many pokemon. Megas should be for pokemon that have reached their limit but still need a boost such as Flygon. Standard evolutions should go to those who need them. Single stage pokemon like Sableye. Giving megas to every weak (or even strong) pokemon out there just means that players will pass them up to have a better mega on their team. Who's going to use Mega Banette when they can use Mega Khangaskhan?

A team would use a mega depending on what specific role they play though.
 
So like, is Nintendo gonna announce MORE new Samsh Bros characters tomorrow and then MORE new Megas on Saturday? They seriously need to CALM DOWN so that I have a chance to.

I'm still riding the high from Mega Sceptile/ Primal Legnendaries, they already sprung new Zelda games and Palutena/ Pacman in Smash on me, now this.... I'm gonna have to jog a few laps to release all this excitement.

Mega Evolution has become such a huge battle mechanic that it would be impossible for it to be a one off for Gen 6 (like pokemon followers was a Gen 2 thing). It will (and has) become one of the many things people wish to see in future games.
 
Not really a fan of Mega Sableye. It really could've used a proper evolution instead, but now there's basically no prospect of it getting one. Hopefully the remaining mega-evolutions will go to more complete evolutionary lines. I really hope in future generations, mega evolution won't be the only way to reboot pokemon from previous generations.

I wonder how many megas they'll introduce for gen10. Also, mega Ditto ftw!

<=== might be one of my favourite mega designs so far. It's so simple, but that huge gem is really striking.

I'm glad to see what looks like a fully defence-oriented mega for once, seeing as how we have a dearth of defensive megas (there's all of Venusaur, Aggron and... maybe Scizor and Char-X...?) and they seem to be mostly for bashing things a micron thin. Hopefully we get a good ability to go along with it! Magic Guard would sound really nice, were it true, and it would really help its role as a wall/tank.
>inb4 wonderguard

(Actually, I'm actually doubting it's Wonder Guard. Keep in mind, Gamefreak mostly balance for the official formula, and things like M-Gengar and M-Kang aren't quite as broken in doubles as in singles. Only one type doing anything to you seems a bit too much, even for doubles.)
 
I'm somehow much more hyped for Mega Sableye than anything else revealed about ORAS so far.
Maybe I was secretly just Sableyesexual inside.
 
Someone over in the Serebii forums suggested that Mega-Sableye could have version differences like Basculin; red eyes and gem in Ruby and blue eyes and gem in Sapphire. It seems plausible, given the fact that regular Sableye already has a ruby and a sapphire on its back (and an emerald, if it means anything).
 
If Mega Sabelye get's Magic Guard it'll be too busy holding it's Mega Stone to poison/burn meaning it won't get the paralysis/sleep immunity most magic guard user abuse. It's not bad to avoid Sandstorm/ Entry hazards etc. (especially since no leftovers) but personally I would hope it keeps Prankster.
 
Okay, just saw gameplay of Mega Swampert and im really liking even more. Its really different from many of the fake fanart i had seen, but they also managed to make it different and more powerful looking than regular Swampert. I still see the Kanto mega evos, except for Char X, and they dont really look any more cooler or different than the originals, just a little stronger, at least for me.
 
Hell yeah Mega Sableye! I really hope that Sableye keeps a variation of prankster though.
My guess (hope) is that the almighty sableye will gain boosts to its defences and get an ability which gives it +2 priority with its status moves - and maybe a move similar to spiky shield/kings shield (gem block? I have no idea what it would do but that gem though).

Sableye deserves this!
 
I am just going to hazard a guess but... The ability as it is described doesn't sound like Sableye necessarily gains an attack boost since it just mentions exploiting weaknesses, the defense part seems pretty straight forward and easy to imagine. That said I am guessing the ability may have an effect of lowering defenses of the opposing mon since that is how I would interpret the idea of exploiting a weakness, and it would circumvent his attack stat.

Don't forget the possibility of a increased critical-hit ratio ability. That would kind of also be exploiting a weakness.

$5 on Infiltrate.
 
We're all getting super hyped for it getting wonder guard or magic guard, wouldn't if be funny if they gave it its own signature ability, like gem guard or something lol.
