but they will most likely make more, I hope they do. Just hpe every pokemon doesn't have a mega form
Back in gen3 blaziken was arguably the worst of his fellow hoenn starters. With only 80 base speed and 70 base defenses, blaziken was subject to ohkoes from gyarados, flygon, alakazam, etc.
Blaziken is far from the most powerful and for that reason, it is deserving of a mega evo.
Luna_Cat16 said:Weird. I actually thought Swampert was more popular, though I suppose it wouldn't have looked as cool as Blaziken.
I just want starter mega forms and maybe a few other Pokemon. They're interesting, but only a few are really appealing.

We still don't know much of anything about Mega Evolutions and people are about to riot??? For all we know, this is how GF is gonna balance out the game by giving every final stage pokemon a mega form!
1) I HIGHLY doubt GameFreak will give EVERY single fully evolved Pokemon a Mega form 2) Even if they did, my point is that even if let's say Beedrill gets a MegaForm, it'll be outclassed by the like of MegaDragonite etc. Unless Mega forms for strong pokemon only increase their abilities by a little and weaker pokemon get a super boost but I see that as being highly unlikely, I guess this bothers me cuz it's seems like a "fan service"...like I said, I'm not even really sure why this bothers me so much
Dragon Tamer Rhaegar said:I feel like they primarily showed Blaziken not only as a fan favorite, but also to show us that starter pokemon can have Mega evolutions as well, and not to be upset by them not getting them. I think this is a great way for some pokemon who are typically weaker than fully evolved pokemon to get a little boost (Scizor, Tropius, etc.) and a great way to really change up competitive battling.
I don't know if it has been brought up, but are we positive on whether these evolutions are permanent or temporary? I know Mewtwo can go back and forth, so it would be odd for that to be in the movie but not in the game.
Not necessarily, unaware quagsire can roll with blaziken's punches and trick room dusknoir/ dusclops can too. SB is a dream world ability, meaning a blaze blaziken might be able to become a mega one w/ sb. If that's the case, non-sb blazikens just became a lot more competively useful in their own tiers.xayshade said:Sky Pillar said:Back in gen3 blaziken was arguably the worst of his fellow hoenn starters.

I mean back in gen 3, yea blaziken was pretty useless since it was slow as molasses and weak as baby booty, but since adding speedboost to it, there really isn't much stopping it. Beating blaziken means either eating it's hits (120 base attack laughs at you) or moving first and hitting it's weak defenses, and now that's almost impossible.
After it got speed boost, it really really didn't need anything else
Pikaboi said:Quick idea. Maybe Mega's could be introduced as X/Y's 'Shiny' Pokémon. E.g. All evolved pokemon will have a Mega forme, but can only be obtained by find its pre-evo in the wild holding its corresponding item.
Edit: Just realised Torchic isn't found in the wild. Unless Pokémon which are not obtainable in the wild, are given away at events.
jstar21 said:You say that a MegaBeedrill would be weaker than MegaDragonite. My question to you is why would you think that when we know little to nothing about this new feature. Let's assume that Mega Evolution was designed to balance out the pokemon. Let's say all Megaforms have a combined stat total of 700 (just using that number as an example). So a MegaBeedrill and a MegaDragonite would be on the same playing field with the exception of their typing and moves. The only pokemon I don't think will have megaforms are legendary pokemon since they are legendary. Of course Mewtwo being the exception because it is not a natural pokemon but was artificially created.

jdivinity said:The whole Mega evolution concept reminds me of an extremely talented Fakemon artist who made "Dark Evolutions" for the final evolution of the starters and I'm trying to find them as I type this but I saw them over 4 years ago so I have no idea if the artist deleted their account or not.
TokenDuelist said:Am I the only one who isn't complaining about these Mega Forms? I personally love them,I don't see what the big deal is about introducing a new transformation mechanic.
BassoonBro said:I wonder why WPM hasn't posted anything about it yet.
If they are restricted to in battle I might as well not use them. IMO It just seems like to much work to go through to have them return to their lackluster form after the battle is over....
