Only in-battle? Enlighten me to where this information has come from? I'm tired of it because that 'theory' is just entirely stupid and ripping off of Digimon more than it has to. To me that's just retarded and WAY to gimmicky - even for GF. I'm mainly perturbed by this because I want Mawile and Absol to have actual true evolutions.

And what's the point of even calling it Mega Evolution if half of you fucking retards call them 'alternate forms'. Why is so hard for you all to accept this type of evolution normally and look at it objectively?

Anyways, Evolution is an ongoing process - I like how Pokemon is starting to reflect that more and more. I welcome 4th Stage/Mega Evolved Pokemon.
