CoroCoro revealed new info on X and Y today including not only new Pokémon, but also a new mechanic called Mega Evolutions.

5 attached images

Poor Mewtwo has amnesia AND insomnia now.
I'm glad they will at least be more than just stat boosts. Maybe they'll learn different moves too?

First off I'm happy Mawhile got something close to an evolution, hopefully it's not the only one getting what it deserves.

Pokemon like, Sableye, Dunsparce and Jynx.
Maybe they'll even make some random retcon that previous pokemon that received new evolutions like Magmar or Rhydon were actually Mega Forms.

Also how will it effect the meta game?
Will they be considered Uber?

Oh hey it's Pikachu with whiskers

I just found out they revert back to there regular selves at the end of battle.

I love the designs of all the new pokemon this might be my favorite coro coro so far.

So he have a rollerskating gym leader now, I'm guessing she's either fairy or fighting type.

Blaziken apparently evolves via a hold item. Maybe it's just a hold item that changes a Pokémon's form? That would explain balance I suppose.

Man, those megaPokemon are like competitive dreams come true. Electric/Dragon Ampharos? Huge Power Mawile? If that doesn't move those Pokemon from NU to RU I don't know what will.

Also it appears as though Blaziken is due for another generation in Ubers.

This makes me wonder if every final evolution pokémon will have mega forms. If so, I wonder what mega umbreon would look like.

the mega evolutions for some reason remind me of both super saiyans and the class upgrades you can use in Fire Emblem Awakening.

Can't wait for MegaMeganium.

Is it bad I'm hoping there'll be a MegaTyphlosion? The name really reminds me of Digimon, by the way.

Lol they all look like badass digimon.

I'm just gonna put out the things I don't like about these announcements.
1. The Pikachu Look-Alike - it's stupid and looks too much like pikachu.
2. Blaziken Mega form - If they get even better stats and stuff, that thing is OP. Plus, why ADD to a starter pokemon, especially if the evolution line has 3 stages already?!
3. Lucario Mega form - Like above, it's just way too OP.
4. Ampharos Mega form - Even though Ampharos isn't really that strong, it has 3 stages already.. though I like it's typing!

And then there's that whole fairy type thing.. Idk how to feel about this generation, there's so many ups and so many downs.

Not sure I'm on board with the mega evolutions just yet, but I'm interested to see where it will go. They do look interesting, though; I feel like if they extend Megalutions (yes, that's what I'm calling them) to most other Pokémon, they'll be a way to make up for the loss of Dream World abilities.

Meekuru is adorable. I approve of this Grass-type.
Horubii...um, well, I guess it doesn't hurt to have another rabbit with grossly oversized ears.
Dedenne is our classic sucky Pikachu-clone. It happened last Generation, the Generation before that, and...well, you get the idea.

Still waiting for more news on Oorotto, but this is a nice update in its own right.

Yeah have Megagreymon VS MegaMewtwo or something, also im hoping for a mega raichu or garchomp.

I think it's rather neat- the whole idea of a Megalution.
Not that Blaziken really needs it. It will pierce the heavens ubers in competetive, still with speed boost. :p

I bet it's a different type of form change, though. Unless the "evolve 3 times" is void, it wouldn't really make sense for Blaziken to get an megalution. (Y'know, megalution flows. :3 ) And seeing as Mewtwo gets his Awakened Forme from this (According to the scan. ), I'd personally say it's a forme change.

But there better be one of these for Ledian- I mean, Ledian could really use it. And Ledian's my favourite big tupe. ;~;

I would like Dedenne more if it didn't look too much like Pikachu. :L
For those who don't know, I don't like Pikachu.

What if MegaRotom happens.

I'll be a happy bunny.

Honestly, I dont think I like the idea of Mega Evolutions. How does it effect the meta game? How does it work? I think they're changing Pokemon too much :\

I just realized that we only have one more issue of Coro Coro left before the game gets released.

Trailer is now out.

So wait. It's event only?! God damnit Pokemon.. I really hope I'll be able to catch the event, but it's likely that I won''t... *sigh*

What's up with the MegaAbsol? Looks like some idiot put MLP and Pokémon in a blender.... God why?

I really hope some Megastones are available in-game.. If not, I'll be blocked from the "X and Y experience".

I really dig the looks of these new evolutions. ESPECIALLY Absol. Makes me even MORE excited to pick up my copy of X~

Hopefully none of them will only be available through DLC.

New Video:

• MegaEvolutions are just forms and are not permanent.
• MegaEvolutions are triggered via Megastones and are in-battle exclusive
• Blaziken MegaStone is event exclusive, the event starts at release date and comes with a Torchic.
• You use Rollerskates to navigate through Korrina's gym.

So considering they showed off MegaMewtwo and MegaLucario (come to think of it, how are they going to fit these names into the 10 character limit?) using what look like very powerful moves, I guess they do indeed have their own special attacks as well

They'll probably have "Mega" in front of the name and not count it as part, similar to the gender symbol.

Also of interest is this part in the trailer:

Wasn't the item that Mega Event Speedy Torchic will be holding called Blaziken Knight? Or was that a silly translation error? If not, they may be unique to each Pokémon

Took the liberty of editing the names of the Pokémon and characters to their English names.

Also put in a bit more info in addition to that.

I have been watching some videos on youtube all about pokemon X and Y.
i then watched one video on a countdown and someone was talking about ''pokemon mega evolving'' there were pictures of ''mega evolved'' Blaziken, Lucario and Absol. I'd really like to see them in the games especially a Absol evolution

Now I've officially begun to dislike this. So, they seem to be showing it off as a power-up of sorts for pokémon...so, what, it'll increase all stats by 25% or something? If this isn't available for all pokémon, it could severely limit the variety in the competitive environment. I'm not looking forward to needing a MegaAbsol or whatever just to stand a chance.
I'm hoping I've misinterpreted this, and I probably have, but if I happen to be right for once then I think we should just put all Mega pokémon in Ubers when they come out.

Sorry for the rant, we now return you to your regular forum browsing.

I think when everyone saw that MegaBlaziken had Speed Boost, everyone assumed that it would be put in Ubers.

MegaKangaskhan confirmed.

Finally the developers notice Kangiskhan has a baby.



But you're technically using two pokemon at once, isn't that cheating.

Scizor seemingly confirmed to get a MegaEvolution by Hiro:

I'm still not fully on-board with the whole Megalution hype, but I suppose it's not a terrible thing if it's battle-only and requires a held item. Maybe I'm just not so hyped up about it since no Grass-types have been confirmed to have a Megalution yet, so I'll see what happens when a Grass-type does get one.

(Please make one, Game Freak, or there will be problems with you and I)

Ya whats sucks is if u need a certin held item to use a mega pokemon, u lose out on life orb/choice items/and leftovers.

Whew, I'm glad they find a way to balance it. That Mewtwo ain't gonna like Sucker Punch, though. xD Anyways, I find this concept interesting, but I wonder why they decided on using on already powerful Pokemon such as Mewtwo and Blaziken. Lucario, even. With that said, will these Pokemon support stat raising moves? I dunno. I just think this concept is kinda broken, particularly with the Pokemon they chose to boost up (except Absol and the others that aren't THAT strong).

Perhaps there will be a sort of 'Super-Übers' tier for MegaÜber pokémon like MegaMewtwo and MegaBlaziken? And MegaOU pokémon will be moved up to Übers?

MegaMawile is going to dominate dragon types.
