are Mega evolutions permanent or only battle temporary?
PyroPokeman said:Hmmmmm, that Gym leader. Does this mean we will be fighting her Mega accessible Pokemon, and after beating her, she will teach it to us? And more importantly, that sounds like a type of episode for Ash. Ash gets owned, and goes on the learn the secret of Mega Evolution, and his Pokemon get the new power, the first being Pikachu?
I just gotta love these new Mega forms/evolutions. It just seems so awesome to me, and I wonder how many other Pokemon will be getting these power-ups, it would be awesome to see the Starters all reaching Mega along with Blaziken. I JUST CAN'T WAIT FOR OCTOBER ANYMORE!!!!!!! I WANT TO BANKAI MY POKEMON!!!!!! XD
This Mega stuff is "perfect" for the anime, namely Pikachu. Pikachu would never evolve into Raichu and now it can change without it being forever. I'm already imagining some episodes about the reveal of this and Pikachu and Ash learning how to deal with and using it. Hey, it might be another one of those episodes where Pikachu gets "possessed" and out of control and ends up turning against Ash.
Edit: crap, I forgot that these megas are only for final evos...Pikachu would need to evolve into Raichu to get one. Unless it turns out that middle stage Pokémon can also achieve this!

Temporary it seems.
Leaf_Ranger said:but forms have only appeared in Gen IV
TheRoyalXerneas said:I'm really starting to like the Mega's, but I still want some older Pokemon to get actual evolutions. Since legendaries aren't safe from mega evolutions, I wonder what other legendaries will get blessed with a mega evolution.

That's what I hate about GF, their idea of what qualifies as a dragon is weird... like really, a sheep and a bird can turn into a dragon but not charmander. I understand Altaria's based on a Peng but still...
I understand that, my main issue is why limit the types name to dragon when it could have been a lot more general like Mythic-type. Just my own little pet-peeve.Mitja said:Sky Pillar said:That's what I hate about GF, their idea of what qualifies as a dragon is weird... like really, a sheep and a bird can turn into a dragon but not charmander.

There is also a difference between GFs idea of what qualifies as a dragon and what qualifies as a Dragon type.
"It doesn't look like a dragon" is less of an issue for the type than the egg-group for example (otherwise they'd both be made up of the same pokemon).
Its much harder to pin down what makes a Dragon type
I think of words like:
-mythic/majestic (the change from Seadra to Kingdra captures this the best imo)
-epic (dimension trio prime example)
-destructive/anger (Haxorus, Salamence, Druddigon...)
-element-proof (Lati@s, Dragonair)
-brute side of supernatural (Hydreigon)
-loving warmth / fearing cold (not really a visual feature)
while it seems that some prominent features about dragons are left out for it as a type:
-firebreathing (due to Fire being a full type on its own)
-winged (due to Flying being a full type on its own)

It's so hilariously bad...
Here's hoping everything else has minor changes to make it look more threatening and/or majestic instead of colors and streams of everything everywhere to make it look like it just came out of the party store.
