Why doesn't WPM update pokebeach about this news?
Sky Pillar said: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: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

This is so, but SB Blaziken is still overpowered, especially since MegaBlaziken also has speed boost. This makes me think that Dream Pokémon evolve into Mega Pokémon. But you can teach Blaziken shadow claw right? I mean, quagsire can take the hit, but I don't know about dusknoir/clops

You have to get a specific hold item for the Pokemon you want to "evolve", like the Blaziken Knight item Torchic will come with, and then you have to use the Mega Stone on that Pokemon in order to get it to evolve. Whether or not the hold item is consumable or not, I don't know. I guess it's really hard to say anything specific about them at this point.

I'm fine with Absol and Mawile, but why couldn't they have just made them evolutions with some new name?
Why did they have to put a "mega" in front of their original name?
This is Pokemon. Not Digimon.
Frezgle said:SOOOooo one thing I noticed is that these all for the most part look rather unnatural and not like something that could exist in an ecosystem. More like something just designed to look cool in battles.
And then I thought, what if they have something to do with Team Flare? They do have quite a lot of 'flare' to them, all the spikes and flowy bits (and Ampharos' hair lol). These could be genetic modifications done by the new team to make them both stronger and more extravagant.
But, y'know, that would actually make SENSE, and GF isn't always too keen on making sense. :B

I am going to add to this. It would be really awesome, in my opinion, to only allow one megastone per party. Like in a battle, you can only have one of your pokemon evolve into a mega. This adds depth to the gameplay as you won't know which Pokémon has the megastone.
Maybe they will have a quest line for getting each individual Pokemon their Mega-item. Torchic comes with the Blazikenite/Blaziken Knight, but perhaps you have to talk to this new character, Koruni, to find out how to obtain the specific Mega item for each Pokemon. Also, they could involve the whole bonding-with-your-Pokemon mechanic. Maybe the Pokemon who likes you the most is the only one who can use the Mega item. I am not sure, but I believe GF would put limitations on how many/which Pokemon can use the Mega items and become a Mega-lution.
Bogleech said: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....
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 straight out of the most uncreative fakes.
Great. Our updates this month are nothing but old pokemon with stupid stuff glued onto them (angel wings on Absol? Seriously? That is DIRECTLY what bad fan artists do. That is SPARKLEDOG TIER) and another electric rodent that looks exactly like part of the pikachu line.
