I feel like when it says "you need the BREAK card, the pre-evolved Pokemon, and the Evolved Pokemon." It means you need them all in your hand (the break card being a trainer card). Then you could play down the pre-evolved pokemon, the break card, and then straight away evolve it. However i dont think that the break will make the pokemon any stronger. Potentially it might let you to add more energies or something. But if the break pokemon became more powerful, then there would again be an unfair advantage between break, and regular evolutions. Im pretty sure the break evolution is meant to be equalizing it and leveling up the playing field.
This card will obviously let you play entire lines of Pokemon in one turn, but what's the incentive? How does this differ from the grass stadium we are getting and delta evolution (other than the obvious exclusivity), that is where my intrigue lies. There must be something extra if they believe that this mechanic will be able to triumph against EX cards...
It's possible that if the only cards involved are all pokemon, they they might be the Pokemon equivalents of Yu-Gi-Oh's Beast King Barbaros, as in cards that COULD be immeditaly played, but not without suffering a nerf it would avoid if used to evolve.
Of course it could be just as likely that the pokemon are need a mix between Spirit Links and Ace Specs...
The question is, will Mega-Evolutions be involved?

Lots of interesting theories and many sound like real possibilities to me - I am getting excited to learn what it's going to be all about (and hope it's not a letdown!).
My intuition tells me that BREAK Pokemon will be very powerful level 1 and 2 Pokemon (or maybe just level 1, based on what's been revealed) that you can't evolve like regular level 1's and 2's, but require this BREAK card to play. I imagine the BREAK card will be an item card, but who knows. I would guess the BREAK part would refer to the breaking of the evolution line into a specially evolving Pokemon. Maybe even the BREAK Pokemon will be different types, but I doubt it. Of course, it can be as simple as the Delta Evolution mechanic as others have mentioned...but I tend to think it's going to be something bigger. Can't wait!

I understand it like this, ..., there is a basic pokemon, its corresponding evolution card, and... most likely a trainer, all in hand, place then you can place the evolution card into bench by playing the trainer card and discarding the basic one...,
while similar to wally, as someone states, it would more likely be an item card, so it can be used many times, and you have to have the basic in order to control the amount of card on your deck,
or it could be something like "This MONSTER can only be summoned by playing BREAK magic card while that MONSTER is on the field" (yes i used yu gi oh phrasing on purpose", being BREAK pokemon on pokemon EX level, but being quite more difficult to play, (or at least it will use important room of your deck)
IS THIS THE END OF POKEON EX???? (again)

I think it'd be cool if it's a Trainer (Item ideally) that has you discard a Basic from your hand, and then search your deck for its Stage Pokemon to be placed directly onto the bench. Not sure if that conforms to the description in the article, but maybe "needing" a Stage just means you need it in your deck. 
Nope , its already been confirmed by the golduck break and palkia EX deck that EX's are still going to be around.
Luxray Break was confirmed, so Stage 2's are included
That's the thing I want most
Then strictly, what's the difference between that and playing Pikachu and using Wally? Basically the same, isn't it?
What, Night March getting rid of it's frailness without needing to play grass energy, and just playing memory shrine and a high HP stage 1?
Bets are on it being like Limit Break, from Cardfight Vanguard.I hope Break Pokemon let you evolve into any other Pokemon, hence the term "break" evolution. As in break the evolutionary line.
~mysterious Stage 3 evolved Pokemon~
The first way I read it gave me hope for baby Pokemon again but I guess that thing will never be a thing again ~_~;
I'm thinking Break Pokemon are going to essentially be evolved Pokemon EX.
Aren't Mega Evolution already evolved pokemon-EX?
