Lacewings are indeed in the very same group as antlions! The small, creepy dragons I refer to were especially common in the 1400's: The last one is actually a misunderstanding of a scorpion; the artist heard they were venomous creatures with curly tails, several legs, and two snapping...

Actually, Flygon and Kingdra were not made into dragons based just on their names, as far as I know, because they don't call them "sea dragons" or "dragonflies" in Japan, and Flygon is based on an antlion anyway, totally different insect :) And wow you guys are taking my description a little...

Eh? The whole line are Antlions, just reptilian. Larva, famous for the sand traps it builds to keep prey from escaping: Adult:

RE: How do you feel about the revealed Mega Pokémon and which new Mega Pokémon are you hoping to see? Not this again. "Dragons" never had a set anatomy in mythology. What we think of as "Eastern" dragons typically combined characteristics of snakes, dogs and fish. European dragons could be...

RE: How do you feel about the revealed Mega Pokémon and which new Mega Pokémon are you hoping to see? Gengar is a shadow pokemon, yes, and it definitely appears to be modeled after Clefable, but I believe this is because Clefable was originally pokemon's main mascot. Gengar's original concept...

Is this solely EV training, or does it also raise base stat values themselves? That is, you're training pokemon to be stronger than the same pokemon could be in previous games?

RE: How do you feel about the revealed Mega Pokémon and which new Mega Pokémon are you hoping to see? Pokemon I'd like to see with Mega forms and what they could do with them: PARASECT - pure grass type. The fungus has finally taken over and replaced the bug. Not sure how it could look, but...

RE: What do you think about DLC for Pokemon X/Y ? The thing is, pokemon has always been about sharing. Connecting to other people is integral to the game's theme, and getting stuff on wi-fi from an official server really isn't that much different, is it? The fandom has had ample time to adapt...

RE: What cool new Pokemon/evolution do you want to see in the 6th generation? But the whole theme of pokemon is spontaneous evolution. It makes 100% sense that one could just suddenly develop a new evolution based on something that already existed.

^But the whole point is that Kangaskhan itself doesn't go mega; just the baby does. That's fun, unique and clever. Who cares about the design? Mega evolutions already barely differ from regular pokemon in appearance and clearly aren't meant to be very different. None of them look "evolved" or...

I hope it turns out to be well balanced...not a huge advantage, but fun. I'm a little iffy on them saying Kangaskhan can use the same move twice in a row...that seems rather absurdly overpowered. I wouldn't want battles to just become a Mega-off. But the concept of Kangaskhan's baby getting the...

What people are calling Genesect's "UFO form" is just Genesect folding up its body. That's hardly a "form." It's just a position it can take, like a turtle pulling into its shell.

More than anything I just hope these are not counted as new pokemon in themselves. If they say for instance that this gen has 150 new pokemon there'd better be 150 new pokemon, with "megas" being an additional feature to that. It seems that way so far, fortunately.

Ha, seems I was right about it being only in-battle. Other than Mawile and Sableye however, they're unlikely to give any pokemon I really like any mega forms. Lucario, Blaziken, Mewtwo and Absol are pokemon who have generated some of the worst, most overabundant (sometimes horrifying) fan-art...

RE: What 'Mega' Pokemon formes are you hoping to see? Don't you think those are pokemon that could both use and deserve a boost more than something already as powerful as Mewtwo or Blaziken? The bugs especially, who only seem to exist to play with in-game and be quickly forgotten.

Why would that be permanent? I'm saying maybe when their HP gets low or something they automatically change into their mega forms after you've unlocked them with the mega stone or whatever. But probably not. I just can't believe "SCOOP OF THE CENTURY" turned out to be something ripped...

Maybe pokemon can only temporarily turn "mega" under special conditions during battle, or something. There are only two things that could redeem this concept for me: Megas of the pollution pokemon (Weezing, Muk, Garbodor) or Megas of some lower-stage pokemon (like a "mega" duskull independent...

Considering the fact that many of these thus far would obviously just be the pokemon's basic 3d model with extra stuff stuck on, it really WOULD be conceivable for every single one to have a "mega" form down the road. Enh.

Okay...when someone told me that "megalucario" was part of the big reveal I thought they were joking because they knew the only pokemon I actively dislike is Lucario. Amusingly enough, Blaziken, Mewtwo and Absol were probably also in my bottom ten least favorite of all time. I did not realize...

RE: Pokemon that look better than thier evolved forms I love Feebas. The sunken eyes, torn fins and mottled skin are all just really cool and I'd have liked to see a big, fully evolved fish with that look; maybe like a gloomy Dunkleosteus.
