I love them.

I don't really see why so many people think that they're so poorly executed. About 80% of them were given to Pokemon who were previously underpowered, and most do the job of powering them up well.

There are some outliers on either ends (too weak, too strong), but that's to be expected.

I hope SM adds a few more. Doesn't have to be a ton, but Unova is poorly under-represented. I can understand Kalos, but we still need some from them sometime.

I'm happy about them even if they aren't perfect, and honestly don't feel I would ever even need another with how good this one turned out. But I do hope they continue after this gen so that other Pokemon can be given another chance to do better.

Yeah, no kidding. Went from bottom of the barrel shitmon, to a legit threat. It might not have the usage for OU, but it's hard to complain when before it wasn't even used in PU.

>>28887238
It is odd. I know Audino is decently popular in Japan... at least, if that old Unovan popularity contest has anything to say about it.

I guess just some person on the design team had an idea for that and not much else. For what it's worth, it's a decent design improvement given what they had to start with.

They always show Megas and reveal them all before games come out.

None so far. Also no section for Megas on website either.

Might even remove some. Pokemon Ga ole cards is how you're going to get the mythicals and Megas scanned in-game for sun and moon.

Mewtwo has none.

Well if you want to talk patterns, they've NEVER removed changeable Pokemon forms before. They've also NEVER removed a feature they devoted massive amounts of promotional material to. Food for thought.

They removed many features. I shouldn't have to make that big list. They removed Cosplay Pikachu and Spikey eared Pichu.

Nobody said anything about the arcade machine only the cards.

I guess it will changed to how you get mew in Usa.

But it's quite telling only some old ones are listed. I doubt there's new ones and they could take some out.

Not really. Arcade's get updated all the time in Japan, and the specific series that it's successing also regularly updated with additional content, specifically with Pokemon they didn't previously have.

Plus, it's a complete spin-off. Not every pokemon was in Pokemon Rangers, despite connectivity being allowed to the main game. Didn't mean they were going to remove those that it didn't feature.

Wasn't aware you already played Sun and Moon

And Spiky Ear Pichu is 100x different to Megas. It isn't a changeable form, it was event only, didn't get its own huge side series in the anime, TCG, side games, countless pieces of merchandise, etc

There is no reason to remove Megas. At all. They didn't remove Deoxys' 3 extra forms, Arceus' 17 extra forms, Rotom's 5, Shaymins's Sky Forme. Game freak has found a way to incorporate all of the ways to change their formes in every game, so why is it so unbelievable they can't do the same for every Pokemon that has a mega?

Granted somewhat predictable, since it's essentially protect on Mega evolution, then either strongest bug, poison or other coverage physical attack.

While sceptical at first, I like Megan now. The only issue I have with them are the one that need to be nerfed (megamence, mega parental bond bitch, etc.)
Overall though I really like them, I was fearing fusions for a while and became very happy when we got Megan instead of the God aweful fusions ( other than the gen 5 dragons, and their lore makes it make sense).
My favorite mega a sableye. It's always been in my top ten favorite Pokemon, and it's mega isn't overdone or bad looking at all. Mega Slowbro is a close second.

I don't have a problem with it. I think they should have reserved them by and large for weaker fully evolved Pokemon, though. I don't mind a small handful of powerful Pokemon getting them, those are often the fan favourites, but for the most part I would have liked the concept be used for balancing. I also don't like when they give mega evolutions to pokemon because they "need" it when that pokemon still has room for more traditional evolutions. You've basically locked that Pokemon away from ever being able to evolve now, and even if the mega serves the same purpose, you can't use that Pokemon to the best of its ability until you find the dumb stone, and you're restricted to just one, even if all the mega did was make the Pokemon as competent as everything else on your team.

Basically it wasn't handled the best, but I think Mega Gallade might be my favourite Pokemon now, so I'll forgive it. I'm not even tuned in enough to the competitive scene to know if Gallade fit my own specifications for what deserves a Mega, but I don't care. The cape is sick.
