HE NEEDS A MEGA NEOW
Hisuian goodra existed and was good for 5 seconds in competitive until archauldon came in immediately after
Thing this was from a pkm spin off
Generations I think
Not replying to the message you just sent.
I was replying to the mega Dragonite GIF.
I do love a lot of fan art for mega dragonite, so I genuinely think just slight style change or small edits would make me like it ingame too
Tbf the restricteds came back in around the same time so zama also took up the same role
But Haxourus needs a mega bad
Archaludon is more multi purpose with electro shot
mega goodra is made only for it to also immediately suck or be outclassed by something else 
Man was throwing hands with mega garchomp
Mega goodra would be so cool if it had fun slime swirl patterns and more tendrils or slug like frills
WHERES MY MEGA HAXOURUS
You think any gen 9s are gonna get a mega 
If so whod you like to see the most
Mega gholdengo and it’s ability is just good as gold again but this time it’s immune to ground types 
I don't really want a gen 9 mega since I don't like the gen 9 mons much.
Tinkaton
I was talking about that one too.
I don't like the gen 9 mons.
TINKATON
Anyways
Ima keep yapping about how Haxourus needs a mega
WHERE IS BE
WHERE IS MEGA HAXOURSSSSS
I'm gonna pitch the unpitchable
Mega Haxourus solos
Where it becomes a big cherry blossom tree
Honestly i’d love more megas of some more random ass pokemon over generically cool designs like flygon
Like yeah mega flygon would be cool but ig it would just turn it into garchomp 2
Are the dragon pokemon ever really underated?
Ok but MEGA DRUDDIGON YEAAAHHHH
Haxourus compared to other pokemon as a whole or other dragons?
Mega druddigon and Haxourus the underratted duo
Other dragons
I feel like Goodra and Drampa would be less popular
Actually I have no idea what's popular, don't listen to me, I never have the popular favorites dndunssjsk
Wait
The one execption is Gastrodon apparently?
I was really surprised a lot of people wanted Gastrodon
Fully expected whatever I wanted to not be popular
(For the pokemon vote)
Mega Shedinja and it's ground breaking ability oooooof~!
2HP :)
Rock steel has 2 4x weaknesses
Fighting and ground
But ghost dark would be amazing
Only weak to diary
Fairy
When I kill Shedinja by having it read my diary
So it’s be insanely hard to beat without fairy burn or poison
I hate auto correct
Which kalos mega looks best
2
4
1
Chestnaught
Damn
That poll lasted less than an hour????
I closed it
Oh alright lol
It was too far up lol
You could've replied to it
I mean it has again been less than an hour since you put up the poll people don't check the server that thoroughly bshzjsjsjsk
We're sorry to tell you mega shedinja but, you're lactose intolerant.
Good news, the only Pokémon that has anything to do with milk is Miltank
IT WAS A TYPOOOOOO
So mega Shedinja is basically invincible
A funny typo
Mega Shedinja, only weak to diaries and dairy
Malamar
Is our friend
He would do nothing wrong
The hypnotizing is a lie by the media
I'm scared
The malamars are making a cult again... 
What if in the game
There’s a guest to save a group from mega Malamar and get the stone
What cult? Malamar is simply the best Pokémon of all time
But in reality the group actually just REALLY liked Malamar lol
anybody seen any good fanart or memes of the new megas
So glad I'm immune to persuasion and hypnosis.
Means I can protect my food from mega malamar!
What if
Haxorous mega
But it just turns into an axe
No more limbs and body for you, you are an axe now
Is this real
yes
Yes
🤩🤣🥸
There was a discussion on it a few hours ago
Why on earth
I can feel the pain in your emojis
force people to get switch online for three months is why
they are switch online paywalled and time gated so good luck using em in normal playthrough
This is why I’m not even bothering with slop legends
*unless they make Gen 5 or 7 game then I have to buy it
No pls
I need my goated dragon to be badass
And replaying this will be awful if you have to erase the time gated stones
More badass then it normally is
What if
Haxourus mega but the axe blades on head are just really really big so big the pokemon can't lift up its head
It gets bipedal
Then it matches Dragonite
All the better to beat Lance with
It was?
Oh you meant quadruped
New pitch
Mega Lanturn
But no one knows what it looks like
Because it just makes everyone blind instantly
Lanturn should get a regular evolution
does the future seasons just mean randomly in the future
If you encounter mega lanturn in your game the screen is permanently whited out and you have to play the whole thing by sound
yeah at some point theyll run it again
That’s so awful
Pitch: Mega Pachirisu
It gains the fairy type and has an acorn made of electricity
(It’ll never happen)
They'll probably spread the seasons across multiple months so you'll have to pay for online multiple times
Pitch: mega gholdengo where you have to spend 100$ in the e shop to get the mega stone
lol
As one (Good as Gold, Beast Boost)
If someone's looking for a pokemon like game to play not run by money hungry people Beastieball is super fun
If you want a pokemon game made with heart and soul play a romhack
Pitch:mega Haxourus that is obtained in a guest where you go to the island where the free shiny Haxourus is in the gen 5 games and you fight it for the stone but can’t catch it
Yooooooooo paid dlc island also
No idk what that is
Don’t give them ideas
Infinite Fusion is unironically made with so much more love and care than any of the pokemon games that came out in the last 8 years
Sadly yeah
Sounds cool, could you link me to their Discord server 
Yeah
What about Mega Yamper? Where it can throw a pokeball (sort of like fling)
No
Only cool spheals and mudkips get to infinite fusion 
Yamper isn’t fully evolved
Don’t know what you’re talking about. Yamper doesn’t evolve
That’s true
It turns into that bolt dog thing
They should give charizard another mega it hasnt gotten anything in a while
Boltund?
Has game freak forgotten about it?
No it doesn’t 
Please 90 more Gen 1 things
No it does not evolve
Where is the mew mega
What is this char iz ard you speak of?
I just want mega hydreigon as my pie in the sky mega
Must be a really niche pokemon
Pokemon's forgotten gem
What’s a random shitmon that could use a mega
Ariados
Stunfisk
Orhtworm would be funny 
Turn it into a metro i’m pretty sure it’s already based on a train
I'd gladly take Mega Emolga.
Pachirisu
Mega Blissey could be cool
Have they ever given anything to a pikaclone outside of its generation
That flying rat doesn’t need anything
Don't think so
pikaclones are so boring
Outside of pikachu no
I get that Emolga is already based, but a mega would still be cool.
It’s not based at all. The sky rat is a pain
Mega furret but really really really long- I'm just describijg gigantamaxes instead of megas lol
What did emolga do to you
Like i guess pikaclones are already used for the “Hey! check out our super cool new mechanic in this region” button like how dedenne has fairy, plusle and minun show off double battles, pawmot shows off the revive move
So no point in giving them anything else lol
Have you played black and white?
Yes
Pawmot also requires you to walk with your pokemon to evolve it I think
Electric gym.
So it kind of shows that mechanic
Yes
Morpeko wasn't related to dynamax at least
Though I guess it was tied to Marnie at least
Morpeko was just hungry
Tbh I want Pach to get something because of it’s significance to Kalos
How so
Pachirisu was significant to Kalos?
I’m trying to think of other pokémon before gen 8 that had the “use a move = change forms” gimmick and the only 2 i can think of is mega rayquaza and ultra necrozma 
2014 worlds.
Of course because they’re just so similar to morpeko
I guess
Not the games but the competitive scene
Oh, that.
It looks the same but is bigger and sideways
I know exactly how to go about Mega Electrode...
It has 999999999999 speed if it uses agility it does the regileki thing where if you boost its speed even more it overflows and becomes the slowest thing on the field
Wait does that actually happen with regileki snzusjsjsk
Probably cus of stack overflows
Mega electrode ability should triple every moves power but make it explode itself
Would you like to
A- Explode
B- Explode
C- Explode
or
D- Explode
"Oh, I think he's doing that Regieleki thing! I think Storms can counter it!"
mega serperior with contrary
I knew I was forgetting some part of the name
To make up for this mistake I will now call serperior serpererior
As long as my opponent has damp, all of those options are fine with me 
serpererior the surpererior name
My flawless strat ruined! 
Some people were speculating Flygonite.
But I might take this with a grain of salt.
What do you guys think?
Could be the sceptilite or maybe the ||chensughtite?||
Hm
Sceptilite seems to be the closest so maybe it’s just from the rotation of the stone?
sucks only Chesnaught mega looks kinda good out of the starters but not like i was gonna use megas anyway
they really where just like "fuck raichu" its megas will be making it into pikachu again
They couldn't give pikachu a mega so this is their cope
I think Greninja looks pretty good to but I also agree that Chesnaught is good looking
i hate that its upside down
we all have different opinions about the starters clearly 
its just flying upside down urgh
Eh still goes to the “mascot” of the franchise
tho i also dont like greninja so unless it got a whole remodel it woudnt look good to me
Vampire ninja frog
tbh greninja model i expected like a more buff battle bond
Honestly fair. I like all of the Kalos starters. I just wish Dhelphox had like a witches hat or something for its mega
since battle bond was its mega in the anime pretty much
Yeah true
I do think chesnaught is the best design wise. Gives off her Dnd Fighter or barbarian type feel
ye i think all 3 where supposed to be some dnd class
they changed the stone
they did the head body fusion with both versions
so are we expecting the dlc to be story or just "pay more to get more megas in the game"
RPG classes in general with Chesnaught being the fighter, barbarian and maybe a bit of paladin. Greninja is rouge and Delphox is the spellcasters (Wizard, Sorcerer, Druid etc)
ye i noticed
but both are very much more pikachu
Maybe they did, maybe they didn't.
mega x is pikachu raichu and mega y is raichu pikachu
And they are both pure electric.
ye but its still mostly pikachu body tbh
both have raichu belly
Well, I wanted that from a Mega Raichu, a badass version of Pikachu.
It's 95% pikachu
they did custom fusion designs
for sprites
I hope the speed increases when it Mega Evolves.
I was talking about the stone change for Sceptile.
And if it is Sceptilite, seems like again poor Flygon would have to wait.
i mean the way the dlc was teased it basically just screams "we have alot more but only if you pay us more"
I bet someone would be willing to give all their life savings to make Mega Flygon become a reality.
I think a lot of ppl would
Isn't that the gimmick for DLC's even now?
Would you rather they half-ass mega flygon or not release it
Nintendo is probably entering EA territory at this point.
alot more megas
I kinda wish the psuedo’s didn’t have megas as they really didn’t need them
Exactly
Least Flygon fans could do is hope.
I personally would love to see a Mega Milotic.
them announcing paid DLC before the game is even released made me ask myself "Am I actually in an abusive relationship?"
Paid DLC and a battle pass
It's not really a battle pass but it seems you have to pay for online to compete in ranked online matches to maybe win mega stones
if i ever do get a switch 2 (not likely) at this point im just going to buy tomodachi life and fire emblem
Real goofball shit lol
I guess it'll make WolveyVGC and the Smogoners happy?
I'm not buying the game anyways so i just get to spectate and watch everything burn 
I already pre ordered the game myself
Gonna hold back on the dlc till trailers
No reason for a DLC to be up for pre order before the actual game is released
Hate that mega stones are locked behind ranked, I bet people are gonna start trading them away for shinies bro
its just like...by the time "season 2 starts" everyone finished the game so its really just a mega for online play
I breed competitive pokemon, I dont use competitive pokemon 
I miss my Liligant now from SwSh
no way mega stones arent gonna be keyitems
They werent before, but they actually might for this game so players dont accidentally sell them
also the way it was teased, the dlc will just be extra megas no story
Im praying that pokemon hears the outrage from the fans and undoes this
unlikely
That's why im waiting to see more about the dlc before pre ordering it
im pretty mad about it too, but i might actually try competitive because of it so there is that 
Pokemon? Listening to people's complaints? 
Nintendo?* Listening to people's complaints?
yeah, they are quite notorious for not doing that 
i have 0 reason to use megas so i dont much care, and i played every pokemon game with the first 6 mons i caught so i wouldnt even go for the other starters in my team
Did they say breeding is gonna be in this game
It's very funny to see them like
I hope Mawile is here
Actively draining the fans' trust in the Legends spinoff brand by doing this
If Pokémon listened to outrage, we'd have the national dex back by now
my planned team currently just consists of victreebel. i would love a delphox but it looks like that one isnt happening 
mawile was in the malamar trailer
No it could be happening
Just yknow
Tryhard in ranked maybe you'll get there
true, i guess
i did say i would try ranked but i have no clue how to do pvp like at all
I'm so glad my last experience playing Pokemon is Gen 7 lmao
for now planned is tepig and malamar, skuntank if its in which maybe not sicne it was in arcues and the rest i will just walk around and find some
oh yeah, forgot i wanted an emboar. guess that could substitute the delphox if i dont get one
actually probably just gonna choose whatever pin i get
why wouldnt you get one
Admittedly the only trailers ive seen for ZA were the one for today and the first two
talking about like the mega, since it's a pvp reward or whatever
ah ye just the mon itself isnt a reward
ye, just talking about megas currently
i have no clue what i want the rest of my team to be
ah i was just talk9ing about my team
i dont really plan on using megas
its just an extra few seconds of animation every godamn time
Legends Arceus was so good
actually I forget did they say how much you needed to engage with the PvP?
since I think gen 9 offers some non-exclusive rewards but I recall it being like a laughably small amount you needed to play to count as participating something like 3-5 matches
also yea that animation time is why most of the speedruns don't use the gen 6-9 gimmicks unless they really need the extra damage output
My planed team is currently Emboar, Dragonite, Victreebel and Malamar. But as soon as 4 more non Gen 1 megas that don't overlap with Emboar and Malamar are announced, Dragonite and Victreebel are going right in the trash heap with all of the other undeserved Gen 1 forms where they belong
Mega Hawlucha in the corner:
Its fighting type overlaps with Emboar
true 😔
emboar sweep 😔
Oh my god the Kalos starter megas are paywalled
AND I CAN'T EVEN PAY FOR IT
SINCE I LIVE IN A PLACE WHERE NINTENDO ESHOP DOESN'T WORK
I AM GONNA FUCKING KILL NINTENDO
Anyways if any Pokemon was to get 2 Megas, I'm glad it's one that actually needs the attention
Sure, Pikachu's extremely popular
But Pikachu's extremely popular
So Raichu has like
Basically 0 attention towards it from either fans or even the company (until now)
The most it has is like the alolan form
Which is kinda more like an entirely new Pokemon
Than actually anything
even the new tomodachi looks like they took away the miitopia mii customization and I just feel depressed... Like do I really need a switch 2 at all
The customization might be present, but only time will tell
kinda just looked like old fashioned miimaker from the trailer. I really hope not though
Pokopia looks cute but idk if it's 60 dollars cute
Like I said, Alolan Raichu is more of like
An entirely different Pokemon
You can give something to Alolan Raichu and not give something to Base Raichu
And vice versa
It still got special attention in a Gen not old enough to have a remake
Mega Raichu Y reminds me of alolan raichu
Mega Alolan Raichu frfr
Plus, no Pokémon should have more then 1 mega
Yeah obviously, but at least it's a horribly overshadowed Pokemon that did, you get what I mean?
Could've been worse, like something like Charizard or Mewtwo
... Wait a second...
It's not horribly overshadowed. It's a Gen 1 Pokémon that already received special attention
My point exactly
Tell me how many people would think of Raichu over Pikachu
Like, 5% of the fanbase?
In before mega hoopa x & y does happen
Thanks autocorrect
And then it doesn't autocorrect autocorrect
Why is autocorrect so garbage
OK but seriously
With how popular Pikachu is you can't look me directly in the face and tell me that Raichu isn't horrendously overshadowed
Oh right shoot I need to make those polls for the 5 new megas
Tell me, who would think of any non Gen 1 Pokémon, besides Lucario and Greninja, over Raichu
Idk I feel like anyone who actually played more than Gen 1
But yknow the number of people who haven't even played a single game is actually higher than I'd expect considering the anime exists
That said I don't think the anime watchers are gonna be thinking much about raichu either
Considering that's like
The number 1 reason Pikachu is as popular as it is
And anyone who played any Pokémon game ever would think of Raichu at the exact same time as Pikachu.
Not the exact same time
They'd probably think of Pikachu first
Then think of Raichu
The only thing Raichu is remembered as is Pikachu's evolution
And not anything else
If someone remembered you only as your child's parent, would you feel like you're being remembered?
At least it's remembered, unlike several other Pokémon.
I'd ask "like who" but the entire point you're making is that they aren't remembered
So you probably forgot who
The first one that comes to mind is Jumpluff, because it's a weak 3rd stage Pokémon that's pretty forgettable, and would benefit greatly from a mega
I feel like Jumpluff is more remembered of a Pokemon because it's from Gen 2
And I don't think it's like
Stupid late
But the Johto games always manage to surprise me with stupid encounters
When was the last time you thought of Jumpluff outside of this conversation
Just like a day or two ago, give or take
Helps that it's a piece of shit to fight in RandBats and that I'm a competitive player
But no, let's give our 50 millonith form to a gen 1 Pokémon this week. A Gen 1 Pokémon that already received special attention I might add
And I'm sure there are plenty more forgettable and deserving Pokémon that I'm not thinking of
I certainly couldn't tell you a forgettable Pokemon since remembering every Pokemon is the one thing my memory isn't bad at
So I'm not really an accurate judge
I was awful in history class, but I recognize every pokemon by its cry
By cry is crazy when multiple cries are almost exactly the same
some are exactly the same
That's like actually kinda cool as fuck
like good luck telling early caterpie apart from goldeen but
I could probably tell some cries apart but certainly not most
Definitely could tell for Pokemon like Volcarona or Scizor where I've heard their cries a ton from playing Competitive Pokemon
but I digress I was trying to make a funny
resume the legends ZA discourse
I do hope we see some more uncommon pokemon get megas
I for one would love mega jumpluff
I think the wolpertinger antlers on Rai Y are cute, but the rest for both the XY megas seems pretty bare bones and negligible
I earnestly thought we got mega pikachu
Because Raichu Y is using Pikachus body shape and X is using pikachus color which... is just fucking bad.
That is stupid actually I'm docking 1 point from both for that
like
I'm sorry but
It's VERY UNDERSTANDABLE that I thought this was pikachu
no you're right
Which is like on one hand that's fucking stupid
the lights were so flashy I could barely tell
And there's this guy who also doesn't adopt raichus color scheme at all
But on the other if Pikachu wasn't as popular as it was this would've never been a question
One is raichu with Pikachu colors
One is Pikachu with raichu colors
it's a shame cus raichu is so lovable and chubby and orange
Yeah like I'm sorry but it's just bad 😭
Dear artists once we sprite these guys PLEASE FIX THEIR PALETTE ISSUES
Make raichu X take the right colors
Well we do have the absolute cinema that is Mega Delphox
They kinda fucking cooked with this
And I'm mad that it is paywalled
flying on the broom was a very cute idea
The kalos starters actually got a fucking glow up deadass
I already liked chesnaught and greninja
mega greninja didn't really do it for me tho
Now add delphox to that
Yeah they couldnt just pick ashgreninja back up so
I think (design wise) Delphox is the worst of the 3
Tbh I prefer this Mega over Ash, but it's really not that major of a difference since I'd probably rank Greninja at a 4 anyways
It just kinda gets longer hair and that’s it
If I were ranking how much the mega improves it'd probably also rank at a 3
But I don't
Well, not in a vacuum at least
I think Chesnaught is the best design wise
Also rewatching the trailer I may move Chesnaught up to a 5 too
It should be docked points because of its stupid obtainment method
If I were to dock points for that they'd all be -5s
But that isn't an option
So I'm gonna be generous and not dock points for it
You're the one who made the polls, just make that an option
I dont think I can edit polls
And I don't feel like deleting and reuploading them
Repost?
Idk
Who cares what the correct term is
if I had to vote based on marketing I'm in a sour enough mood to give them all negatives :D
Tbh out of the 5 new megas i like mega Chesnaught & Greninja, indifferent on the raichu variants, and hate mega Dhelphox
i like chesnaughts, the other 4 aren't that great with delphox barely passable
its funny how the most hated of the kalos starters got the best treatment here
its just intelleon but upside down, they could hae done literally anything else
Eh not really? It plays up the ninja aspect of Greninja than the frog side
I like how it's standing on the water shuriken, but also, Inteleon?
And I like it
Bro, Greninja is right there
I do not see what you're seeing
These are not similar in the slightest
Isn’t Intelron’s sniper platform made from its tail
I suppose but if Greninja wasn't upside down it'd be more of a hover board situation, not a sniper tower
Oh I think so, I never noticed that
maybe?
its the tail thats the whole point
but like, the next gimmick they do, the water starter is once more gonna stand on a platform, or maybe its gonna be hugging the wall sideways
Considering mega delphox is pvp only, probably never going to see me use one.
(Assuming I get the game. All we have seen is one city, which feels small)
its been said that its only taking place in Lumiose
it's already confirmed ot all be in lumiose
the wild zones are the the "nature" areas so you don't go outside the city
I'll be happy using dragonite since no one else seems to want it :D Assuming I don't return the console and cancel my preorder cus dang having thatmoney back sounds real tempting
Why didn't they expand out
ill just wait for alternative methods
they don't want to i guess
Maybe I should just find my pokemon x game and replay that on release date
If I could I would grind for it, but Nintendo is a piece of shit
I think they said we might get mega ||scolipede|| too and I'm both excited and terrified of what they'll do to my boy
based on what i've seen, and what miscelaneous artists drew
👌
I personally want to lean away from the ||horse|| designs and more into ||centipede|| but I just have this feeling

oh...
||where mega rapidash||
that would be so rad
||Rapidash already got a Galarien form. Also, I don't know why you spoilered that||
Scolipede with whirlipede wheels would be so funny
okay, when does having an alternate form stop them from getting a mega (looking at you raichu)
Was bored and felt like spoiler tag
I still can't believe Raichu Y just is a pikachu
It isn't the body of a raichus sbhsansusk
Getting little inspiration on what fairy run starter will be and reading chat at the same time
||your clicking this has been noted||
i'd accept the lore of Raichu Y is that after being forcefully given a thunderstone, they use their mega potential to try to revert back to a pikachu
Well that'd work lore wise seeing how we have 0 option of asking our Pokemon if they want to use a mega stone and just give it to them auto
But that'd also make me hate it even more
Because it's fucking stupid
Good thing I don't mega evolve
Doesn't sound great
It'd feel kind of wrong to bake in essentially abuse towards your animal companion in this game, even though they seemingly wanted to do that with Alola's dex entries on megas, but that definitely did feel wrong
No I'd just think it's stupid because like, it's literally just "Oh Pikachu's better" but official lore
Which is a mindset I loathe
Because of how common it is
Like the only reason Pikachu is more popular is the anime
And it annoys me a lot since it makes the amount of Raichu fans like
I love Raichu, I would've loved an actual mega Raichu
Isn't there a ultra sun or moon entry that proves kanto raichu is unpopular?
There's also the fact that one of the major reasons why there's no good physical Electric moves is because of Pikachu and Volt Tackle
With how iconic Volt Tackle is to Pikachu
Despite Pikachu being a horrible user of the move
That goober looks like it might end someone
Probably sndjsnajajaiai
Pikachu's effects on the game have been straight up negative
Probably an elephant or two
And even if Pikachu has a decent design that alone is enough to make me rate it lower
I always loved how anime raichu sounded congested
Not as bad as the baby Pokemon or Flutter Mane though
They've got allergies and they're going to eletrocute everyone because of it
the surfing on the tail gimmick was a fun design
I’ve been to pancake places that deserved a pancake raichu
I think that’s gonna be what I say as a compliment next time I go to one
They look way more like Pikachu than raichu and it's obvious that's the whole point
So, I'm a little lost on something. What's the pvp/paywall crap with the Kalos starter megas?
The Kalos megas are locked ranked Pvp rewards and you need Nintendo online to play PvP
So getting them are locked behind a subscription
I see.
And are also limited time cause if U start a new playthrough years from now U just cant get their mega stones
Yeah, fuck that. As someone who hates pvp, that alone makes me displeased.
Not just PvP mind U it's ranked Pvp
is it like people in a certain place get them and just those people?
Idk but I wouldn't be surprised
I'm not even gonna bother with Nintendo anymore I'll play with the megas in showdown and fangames
I'm so fucking done with them
Plus the designs are ass the two mega raichus are just mega Pikachu one of them is just Pikachu's colours on raichu esk body and the other is Pikachu's face on a spikey raichu body
And mega greninja is just upside down greninja with spikes
The only decent mega I've seen that they've released is dhelphox
at least we can get the mega sprites for pif
there's barely anyone who likes mega raichu online
I like the three starter megas, raichu is eh to me, I agree it feels more like mega pikachu.
I don’t know if I like mega delphox or not
RAICHU really needs love
yeah, it was clearly supposed to take in pikachu elements. would’ve preferred if they had made an actual raichu mega, even though i do like the x form
but what can ya do, it’s the mascot 
It's like Nintendo's biggest regret is making raichu from the start so they can't do crap like this to Pikachu directly
Like I swear if they never made raichu we would have like 4 regional variants of Pikachu and 3 megas
Probably lol
Wish we got to have Gorochu, I don't know if it'd live up to what i'm imagining but fanged and horned raichu sounds cool
I just don't know why they bother with the cat and mouse treatment on Raichu lmao
Just make Mega Pikachu X/Y at that point literally we'd be angry all the same but at least lke
Ah well you know it is the mascot this was inevitable
i mean megas are just battle forms not even real evos, so yeah no reason they couldnt give pre evos megas
That third one is going to supply Flygon fans with enough Copium to last until the release of the DLC lol
I said Swalot, Clawitzer or Crabominable and either Flygon or Yanmega (Bug/Dragon if so)
Yanmega becoming Bug/Dragon makes more sense than Flygon if you were to ask me
I could definitely see that being a thing with yanmega.
its already mega tho
Also giving a Pokemon with Speed Boost a Mega is asking for shenanigans if it's ever added to Gen 10
Make it Mega-er
Yanmegamega
The sequel to Dudunsparce
Also, there's other Mega Stones, but I'd need to probably go frame by frame to see if they're new
The cyan-purple-yellow Mega Stone is super aesthetically pleasing, but I'm blanking on what Pokemon have that palette
What is the likelihood that some of these are the already leaked megas?
Of course not all of them would be
The 2 Raichus prove that
But could they?
Seems reminiscent of Crabominable's colour palette
Nevermind then, I refuse to call anything related to Crabominable aesthetically pleasing
Referring to the mock up designs, doesn't seem like they'd be any of them
And I think it's pretty safe to refer to them considering how so far they're been pretty accurate
Well, maybe the purple one could be ||Chandy||
Let's also consider ||Mega Raichu X and Y weren't leaked||
||None of the DLC Megas are, I'd imagine||
That Mega Starmie mockup hurts my soul so much 
The fact that it's extra probable makes it so much worse
Considering how inaccurate the depictions are, maybe it'll be viable
I checked the Sceptilite, and it is different from the green one, though not by that much all things considered
They've been mostly accurate so far though?
I mean yeah obviously not 100% accurate
Fair
So it could have more to it that the leakers just didn't reveal for whatever reason
Whereas something like Mega Dnite was pretty descriptive
And the mockup ended up being very similar to the actual Mega
I don't want my favorite Gen 1 Pokemon to just become that meme of Patrick Star wearing fishnets. Please no
I hate that like 6 of these look like paradox forms
Like why tf does mega scolipede look like it's gonna be called iron wheel
Iron Wheel sounds like a scrapped name for Iron Treads lmao
Ikr
You've done this to yourself
Mega Excadrill looks like it listens exclusively to Linkin Park
I hated what all of them are iron **** like wtf that's so lazy
The Paradox Pokemon's names in general are, uhh
Not very inspired
But at least you'd have trouble guessing who tf Iron Valiant or Scream Tail is
If anyone properly guessed what Scream Tail was based purely by name I'd be shocked
Bro doesn't even have a tail bro just has funky hair
The whole paradox crap was just a way to recycle old Pokemon with like no changes
Idk though some of them are pretty different
And others are Flutter Mane
I will not stop my Flutter Mane hating agenda until the day I die
Mega Yanmega 
Slither Wing is amazing and I will hear no slander towards it
Flutter Mane is especially egregious because nobody fucking complains about it despite it being one of the worst if not the worst offender of this
And it doesn't even make sense why prevos get the forms like does scream tail just never evolve but 500yrs later it suddenly evolves
Darwinian evolution works in strange ways
And also tf you mean ghost of a pterosaur
Does this look like fucking Aerodactyl to you
God, Flutter Mane is such a garbage Pokemon
Omg speaking of fossils why do all of them have to be rock I swear over half could be smth else with only a movepool change
Arceus should fucking smite this bitch
Hit it with the Ekiller +2 Shadow Claw and erase it from existence or something idk
Rock types have it rough enough, let them have at least one cool gimmick to themselves
I don't think the galar fossils were rock were they?
Mooe
Nope
I love typos
there ya go
Why doesn't Autocorrect correct that typo
Ig but I still hate that a bright colourful bird is a rock type
I like to imagine that rock pokemon's bones preserve better which is why all the fossils they happen to find are rock type
But yeah they were too busy pushing the point that the galarian fossils are amalgamated abominations
To add the rock type
It would make sense but like half of em don't even look rock typed
I hated them until I saw what they were based on and then I kind of warmed up to em
I mean amalgamated abominations affectionately
What says rock type about Tortuga
His shell
It's a turtle
sssshell
Idk I feel like that's one of the ones you could push for the rock type the best
It's blue it doesn't even look rock like
|| people are saying they see flygon in the mega stone||
It's like a deep blue grey it reads as rock to me
Carracosta is mentioned to have a very strong bite, obviously as a reference to snapping turtles
But like
|| like as a reflection||
That's actual delusion
Flygon fans need something to keep them going, let's let them have this for now
But yeah, I think the purple unidentified one is ||the leaked Mega Chandelure||
And the
Mega Charizard P
Ok but we can all agree that amaura and aurorus shouldn't be rock type the only rock thing about it are the tiny gems on the side that everyone forgets are even on them
And the unidentified cyan one matches Crabominable's colour palette to a tee
So I think that could work
I dont even think they got Power Gem in earlier generations so you're so right
It also like
i have a list of guesses for most of the mega stones ill share here rq (maybe)
Ok but imagine this was actually a Reuniclus stone
It would be so funny
It doesn't need the 2nd terrible defensive type
Brock type
I like the idea of all of them getting ancient power but there's a couple lines that shouldn't be rock type
True...
Should the Mega have Regenerator or Magic Guard though
Reuniclus usually prefers the latter
No slot for a Life Orb, so I would vote Regenerator
But it can't stack on Life Orb or Leftovers with it here
Also smth I hate how stubborn they are about changes pokemon NEED like type changes, BST boosts stuff like that
Like kirlia has a bst of less than 300
That's lower than Bulbasaur
The only type change I'd personally push for is changing a few Moon related Pokemon to have the Fairy type
Since the moon is heavily linked to Fairy through moves
Even tho it's basically on the same place as ivysaur in terms of evolution line
Cresselia and Musharna can keep their Psychic types since they are also linked heavily to dreams
As for Lunala, I'd say it's a special case because Psychic is linked to light
But Ghost/Psychic is like
The worst dual Ghost pairing
So fuck that
They need to make a couple more Pokemon fairy like they missed a solid 10-15 Pokemon when gen 6 happened
I just thought of the possibility of that Cyan/purple/Yellow Stone being Avalugg
I can already see Gamefreak somehow finding a way to make Mega Avalugg even worse
Also celebi needs to be a fairy CAUSE IT LITERALLY IS ONE
That's possible
I don't think they'd manage to make it worse
But I do think they'd manage to make it still bad
Still horrendous, even
Game freak pisses me off so much sometimes with how they simultaneously fuck stuff up and do jack shit
Please don't be one of the Bug/Dragon Flygon mfs
That'd make Flygon inconceivably worse than it currently is
And nobody will be happy
that is actually a very interesting theory. i was thinking it could be intelleon, since two of the other mega stones were green/black/orange and orange/white/yellow
If Gamefreak pulls a fangame and makes the Gmax forms Megas, then we celebrate the likely removal of Dynamax forever
The Green Mega Stone being a buff for Rillaboom would probably piss off the largest number of fans at once lol
Because fuck Dynamax
LMAO yeah to both of those
Drum Monke doesn't need any buffs
OK but what if they made it a special attacker that spams Boomburst instead of a direct upgrade
I think that could be interesting since like
It learns Boomburst by level up iirc
So it's weird how it absolutely sucks at using the move
by the way, heres an image sent from another server that has all of the mega stones incase anyones curious?
not sure if anyones sent that already
That 2nd one looks like it may be Malamar's
i have no clue what the blue and green one could be 😔
One next to it looks like maybe Victreebel
i was thinking ||gliscor|| and im actually like super confident about it lol
Anyone have an image of either of their mega stones?
i think the one next to it looks more like ||flygon|| 
i did have a full list, but a few i think might be accurate: ||pyroar, quagsire?? idk, keldeo maybe??, and skuntank/chandelure/swalot||
Bottom right seems to me like the leaked ||Mega Chandelure stone||
last one is a complete mystery to me, though ||chandelure|| is the most likely for reasons 😔
Bottom left really does invoke Cinderace before anything else in My head, but I can't imagine it's that
One next to it we were discussing most matches ||Avalugg and Crabominable in colour palette||
fun fact: its actually just delphox but with yellow and white swapped 
also i have no clue what green/orange or blue/yellow/purple could represent then
So is it actually Delphox's Mega stone (like an older/newer version)
Or like another Pokemon
it might be, but its likely different. guess theres no rule to pokemon having super similar mega stones
It's hard to tell what the first one is
Because it is so blurry
Could be Diancite? They look similar to me
But if it isn't an old one, maybe it's ||Mega Clefable, which we know exists from the leaks||
yeah that was the hardest one for me, i still have no clue. seems to be pink and beige, which i guess could be audino. im pretty sure all of these are new megas but audinite seems like it could be the one if they arent all new
ooo, good guess
Could also be Audino yeah
I could see the one in Row 2 Column 1 being ||Mega Emboar||
Bottom left does really resemble Cinderace admittedly
i really think thats ||pyroar|| actually, which was also from the leaks
That could be, yes
That may be what it is
I have no clue what is next to it at all, I'll have to search through the existing Pokemon
imagine we're crazy and these are all just existing mega stones 
They'd have to be really redesigned to all be existing Mega Stones
my only guesses are ||quagsire and manaphy or something idk 😭||
Row 3 Column 2 kinda looks like the Blue Gastrodon
But it's strange to me that it'd only reflect one of the Gastrodons
So I don't think that's it
Crazy long shot here- what if the middle far right is Seaking?
hmm, thats like the only blue/green pokemon i know though
i was wondering what that could be. good guess, my only guess was keldeo but thats like super unlikely lol
You may be cooking here ngl
I'd rather it get a normal evo though
No clue what row 2 column 2 is
Similar shades of blue to Quaquaval but I doubt they'd give a Mega to a Gen 9 mon
But I mean
Blaziken got a Mega without the other 2 Hoenn starters
theyd go for more vibrant colors for that one, surely
Quaquaval getting a Mega before Skeledirge and Meowscarada would actually be crazy, especially considering it's the least popular of the 3
Nah dw they get them in Gen 10 or something idfk
I'm just spouting random shit for a Mega Stone I have 0 idea for
i did say earlier my only guess was ||quagsire||, but i have no clue why they wouldnt make that one blue and purple
i dont know why im spoilering some of these 
Actually wait the one above bottom left looks more like ||Pyroar||
So yeah idk what bottom left is
Could really be Cinderace
Which still goes by a similar analogy as before
Except instead of being a fighting type bird it's just a fire starter
Or they could just add them all at once
Cinderace really isn't a mon that needs a buff in a Singles context though
Heck, it's arguably the best starter in Singles currently
two of those 100% look like intelleon and rillaboom stones
But that title also goes to H-Samurott and Primarina
Ima be real I don't see it
what do you think the green/black/orange and blue/purple/yellow stones are?
those two are my only guesses
Black/Purple/Yellow I think is likely just ||Chandelure||
I can't read, I'm an Undertale fan
same 
the one above it though?
And could also be Avalugg
yeah thats a good theory
There's a weirdly high number of Pokemon with similar colourations considering how many already have Megas
Yanmega and Flygon come to mind
im not sure if we should be spoilering or not but flygon looks like top right to me. yanmega is a good guess
I think out of the 3 Yanmega feels like it fits the colouration the most
I mean if we're simply speculating on what could be what instead of leaking then I don't see why we should spoiler
But the ones that are leaked info then yeah we should
Top right looks like Victreebel to me
for sure. also i dont see victreebel in that one. why would it be green and red?
Top right has greenish yellow and pink
i feel like it would maybe be green/yellow, or even green/orange
Which are both colours that Victreebel possesses
i may or may not be colorblind
i feel like the pink is closer to flygon's pink but i dunno, it would feel out of place to just have victreebel there when we have solid guesses for other new megas in here
But yknow what? I do see the slightest amounts of orange at the bottom right quadrant of the stone
Which neither Victreebel nor Flygon have, but Trapinch is orange
Except I just checked and Mega Victreebel does have orange apparently
Specifically mega
And basing the mega stone colouration off the mega does happen, we see that with Zard X
my guess is still on flygon, but it could be anything
Anybody else hoping for mega electivire?
||Could be possible with the dlc if they add more megas with it (The 2 new Raichu megas are an example)||
Yeah, but they probably would have led with them, I mean they love electivire and magmortar
yellow? there's barely any yellow on him
it's||aegislash imo||
also on the stone, black is a very small stripe even though||chandelure|| is mostly black
missed this one
Only if we get magmortar in the same reveal.
I'm noticing that it could just be a poor quality image making the purple appear pink
I'm not sure
||Chandelure's eyes are yellow, and evidently based on MMX that'd enough to have the colour feature on the mega stone. We also know for a concrete fact that Mega Chandelure exists, unlike Aegislash||
That just looks like Altarianite to me but it's so blurry that it's hard to tell for sure
it's not
alright but this is the DLC, all of our knowledge of base game megas probably doesn't apply
oh wait im stupid i just noticed this
the color in the back is what type they gain when mega evolving
it isn't
Keyword here is probably
it's just the main color of the pokemon
great
So I think it's perfectly reasonable to take the megas we know of from leaks into consideration
guess we'll have to wait and see
Also, how would they even do a Mega Aegislash
also yesterday's trailer is apparently the last one
Would it still have Stance Change?
i have no idea
And be able to swap between a ridiculously defensively minmaxed and offensively minmaxed mode?
i mean why not
I mean it already kinda does that
so we're not getting anything about ZA until it releases
we might get news on the dlc though
I'm going to spoil plot. Read at your own risk.
||you have to get a job and do grocery shopping, while unaware you're working for malamar.||
-# jk, I'm just assuming it is plot
Jokes aside, lysandre is probably still alive and is why mega pokemon are appearing
Have u guys heard anything about mega stones being locked behind ranked play?
Also pokemon home transfers are one way into ZA?
They were talking about pvp mega stone rewards a lot yesterday
I just saw something about it this morning 
Are ranked battles gonna be realtime, or normal turn based
yeah the kalos starters' mega stones can be obtained during specific time frames
Tbh I don't have an issue with the pvp part of getting it
I have an issue with how a large amount of the world, myself included, literally can't get online
Because Nintendo Eshop only provides service to a very limited number of countries
the whole game has realtime battles, no reason for pvp to be turn based
It's so garbage actually
it's genuinely bullshit
i can access online, but i have to buy it
so 70 dollars game, 30 dollars dlc, 450 dollar switch 2, 11 something dollar online
Make me have to fight like 10000 pvp battles I don't care I love PVP in Pokemon but you literally lock me out of ever pvping and that's something I'm taking offence to
minus however much i can sell my switch one for
To be honest, this is the number 1 reason why I am never getting into VGC
I just
Can't
it seems like they won't be so hard to get
it's not like it's world championships tier
But this is just the first step
They’re doing this so u pay more money
Smogon no diffs TPC in this aspect so hard
And making just easy enough for some ppl to defend it
yeah i know
if the game actually ends up being fun and good i'll probably still get it
Big doubt
why big doubt
But that's obvious that a free web based simulator that is available no matter where you live is better than a paywalled online service to a game that already costs a decent amount on a device that costs way too much that's also not even available in most places
This shit is so unbelievably ass
I'll probably be still getting Legends: ZA, I liked Legends: Arceus and either ways I'd want to be able to say I've played the latest Pokemon games as a fan of the series
I truly don’t believe they’re listening to the audience, they give us new Megas(some of which I don’t enjoy) and they’re launching a new type of gameplay that feels so against traditional pkmn gameplay
But this shit pisses me off so much
there are undeniably ups and downs
I think arceus was going in the right direction, and I’m afraid za is tipping the scale too far
but now everybody's changed their minds radically, it went from "oh wow this game is great" to "fuck this shit i don't want it"
I never wanted it 
it's a spinoff
what were you expecting, a game identical to a mainline?
I mean, if L:A is a mainline game I'd assume ZA is as well
i really like the fight mechanic, i might even like it more than regular turn based battles
And L:A is considered by most if not all sources to be mainline
We've had this discussion many times, and I've went to check if L:A counts as a mainline game many times only for people to deny that it is after I fact checked
SWSH and SV are mainlines
If I want realtime battle, I wanna play as the pkmn not the trainer 
I'm not gonna do that shit again
makes no sense to call it a mainline imo
because it's radically different from most titles
Last I checked, Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, Platinum, B2W2, USUM are all mainline games
It’s not so much different than SV 
why wouldn't they be
they're sequels
do you also count BDSP as a mainline then?
