What does this mean? A mega evolution for Pikachu or Raichu?

I doubt it will be a starter, maybe handed out early in the game so you can do the costume pikachu thing.

It gets a unique move based on the costume its wearing, IIRC luchador Pikachu gets flying press, I forget the rest.

No one said it was a mega and if they gave it a mega they would have to retcon Raichu out of existence which is never going to happen.
Pikachu may be the mascot but there are certain rules even it can't break.

Honestly though, I'm surprised it hasn't been done.
Mega Evolution seems to also act in lieu of regular evolutions, like with Houndoom, Banette and Manectric, so a Pokemon that can evolve permanently OR temporarily would be interesting.
A Mega Eevee with Protean could've been paired with Sylveon as a duo that introduces new mechanics.

What good would Protean Eeeve be? The only non-normal attacks it can learn are Bite, Dig, and Shadow Ball. They can't give it other elemental attacks, like Thunderbolt, Flamethrower, etc. because then you could evolve it and have a Jolteon with Flamethrower, for example.

No not like that at all.
Megas are strictly reserved for fully evolved pokemon and like I said, to give one to Pikachu would require GF to retcon Raichu out of existence and the odds of that happening are extremely slim to none.

Ah. Fair point. Maybe Eevee gets a bunch of moves like Camouflage and the Conversions? Maybe Mega Eevee gets Color Change?

>>21413987
So, for instance, lets say Froslass never existed until gen6, and it was a Mega.
You could level up Snorunt until it evolves into Glalie. Or you could give it a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve into Froslass, a more drastic change (such as its Ice/Ghost typing).

Of course a completely new pokemon with better base stats than Snorunt would be preferable but hopefully you get the idea.

I wonder what legitimate retcons we've had in Pokemon. Maybe pre-evolutions themselves count (What's this? Pikachu evolves from something else?). The Johto Safari Zone would be more of an expansion and explanation behind the original Kanto SZ shutdown in Gen II, though, huh?

Level/lineup changes in remakes or third versions probably count though. And the Rayquaza thing in Emerald, unles RSE revert it in which case it's no different from Yellow's "Pikachu as a starter" thing.

Early into ORAS Mega speculation, one of the popular theories was that stone evolutions were impossible to get Mega Evolutions because evo stones already force them to reach maximum potential. As for min-maxing, hi Mega Beedrill speculation.

>>21414695
Despite my reply, I don't seriously believe GF plans to pander to Pikachu in ORAS this hard, but I'm also not going to pretend that the potential isn't there or I know everything that governs what will get Megas in future generations either.

So why exactly do people think that being the mascot is a key to pretty much everything in this series?
I mean, if it was don't you think they would have already given Pikachu a mega if they were going to in the first place?

Also an NFE getting one goes against everything they've already established about mega evolution.

Much as I do not agree with NFE Megas and believe if its line gets one it would be Raichu, this is accurate. GameFreak makes the rules and Breaks the rules as much as the whims of their menopausal game design dictates.

Honestly I don't use the Pikachu line but seeing an NFE constantly trump its evolution in every way is stupid as shit. I hope they do give Raichu a mega just to give that poor electric sack of useless voltage a tiny bit of use.

Pikachu has always gotten special treatment, I would not be surprised in the least if it got a Mega. Rules and trends do not matter when it comes to the mascot of the company.

Raichu has been getting fucked over for years, Game Freak just does not like Raichu. Personally I've always thought Raichu was cooler than Pikachu but yeah, I do not expect Raichu to get a Mega at all. If he does that's awesome, but I know it's going to be Pikachu because it's Pikachu. Raichu is a little too different from Pikachu to be marketable so if Pikachu does get a Mega it's going to be just a slightly different Pikachu.

Friendly reminder that Pikachu is better designed than Raichu which is why GameFreak favors it.

Friendly reminder that branch evolutions are nothing new and there is no excuse for being upset over Mega Pikachu. "Muh shitmon bro raichu ;-;" is not a valid point and makes you look like a child.

What's with this shit?

Why are Raichu faggots acting like they are purposely being targeted as victims by Nintendo?

Pikachu is popular and they aren't about to change that else they risk pissing off a lot of people. Raichu isn't getting purposely shafted. It's just not Pikachu, like most of the Pokemon who aren't the more 'popular' ones like Lucario and Charizard.

>mega is going to be just a slightly different Pikachu
Implying the megas aren't all just slightly different from their originals? Most look to have spikes or horns glued on, new haircuts, or painted a different color.

If they were going to make a Pikachu mega, I'd imagine they'd done it already. That would be enough to sell video games to children. This is just Amazon being fucktarded.

Question is, what kind of ability would it get in return? And before anyone says shit like Huge Power, let's keep things reasonable.

What ability/abilities would make Slaking (with its current stats) similar in power to other mega evolutions, without it becoming completely overpowered?

Lets be serious here, the only way Pikachu is getting a mega is if it's a one time, anime only mega where its megastone breaks after use because it was an artificial but unstable one made by Sycamore.
In the games there's no logical reason for it.
And no, "it's the mascot" isn't a reason.

Gamefreak never cared much for continuity or lore or any of that stuff. This is a game series built around the idea that they find 100 new species of pokemon every few years because no one could be bothered to visit perfectly accessible parts of the world. I get that Mega Evolutions are supposed to be for fully evolved pokemon. That makes sense. I agree with that notion. And if Game Freak revealed tomorrow that Pikachu was getting one, it would not be surprising in the least. I don't expect pokemon to make sense. I do expect Game Freak to favor pikachu.

I'll bet they'll eventually give something like primal reversion to Pikachu which is effectively a Mega Evolution, but different because it's Pikachu. Light ball dependant, obviously.

I'm surprised after all this time people haven't learnt the one true pattern of pokemon games. GF does what it wants.
If it wants pikachu to have a mega evolution, it will. And being the mascot is enough of a reason. They write the canon. All they have to do is write a line of dialog saying "Thank goodness we invented the X device" and it works.
It's stupid, and BS, but it wouldn't be the first time Pikachu got something special for being the mascot, and won't be the last.

How's your max beauty Feebas going?

Also, Mega-evolution itself is a massive fuck you to the traditional lore and mechanics. Previously you couldn't have more than 2 evolutions in a single line, and evolutions were permanent. None of that applies to mega. Who knows what other rules go out the window. Also now we have primals. Basically mega evo 2.0. So give pikachu a primal, or something else. Maybe Pikachu gets his own Masuda Evolution where he evolves and fucks your mom and you get a shiny new brother or sister.
Not even evolution is safe from retcon or alterations.

Nah man. Slaking was designed before the power creep when its stats were just fucking insane. Now that things are actually able to keep it down by either outspeeding and KOing it or walling it, there's less of a threat. Granted, it still hits like a fucking truck, but its power and overall bulk are like that of any Mega Pokemon. And there's nothing wrong with it shooting off to Ubers either.
