That person had a good enough art style to make it look good.(Still, I think the mega is fine.)

unborn elm
#

HE NEEDS A MEGA NEOW

copper sequoia
#

Hisuian goodra existed and was good for 5 seconds in competitive until archauldon came in immediately after

unborn elm
#

Generations I think

void brook
unborn elm
#

Mb

#

I only realized it now

#

I read the mega part just now

void brook
#

I was replying to the mega Dragonite GIF.

storm tinsel
#

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

flat ledge
unborn elm
#

But Haxourus needs a mega bad

flat ledge
#

Archaludon is more multi purpose with electro shot

copper sequoia
#

mega goodra is made only for it to also immediately suck or be outclassed by something else heehee

unborn elm
#

Man was throwing hands with mega garchomp

storm tinsel
#

Mega goodra would be so cool if it had fun slime swirl patterns and more tendrils or slug like frills

unborn elm
#

WHERES MY MEGA HAXOURUS

copper sequoia
#

You think any gen 9s are gonna get a mega Thonking

copper sequoia
unborn elm
#

Ceruledge

#

Armourugew

#

Tinkaton gets a comically larger hammer

copper sequoia
#

Mega gholdengo and it’s ability is just good as gold again but this time it’s immune to ground types heehee

void brook
#

I don't really want a gen 9 mega since I don't like the gen 9 mons much.

void brook
void brook
#

I don't like the gen 9 mons.

unborn elm
#

TINKATON

#

Anyways

#

Ima keep yapping about how Haxourus needs a mega

#

WHERE IS BE

#

WHERE IS MEGA HAXOURSSSSS

storm tinsel
#

I'm gonna pitch the unpitchable

storm tinsel
#

Where it becomes a big cherry blossom tree

unborn elm
#

Mega Haxourus is such a wasted pseudo Mon

#

All it needed was 600 base stat

copper sequoia
#

Honestly i’d love more megas of some more random ass pokemon over generically cool designs like flygon

unborn elm
#

Haxourus is underrated

#

Like Malamar

copper sequoia
#

Like yeah mega flygon would be cool but ig it would just turn it into garchomp 2

storm tinsel
#

Are the dragon pokemon ever really underated?

unborn elm
#

Haxourus compared to others?

#

Yes

copper sequoia
#

Ok but MEGA DRUDDIGON YEAAAHHHH

storm tinsel
#

Haxourus compared to other pokemon as a whole or other dragons?

unborn elm
storm tinsel
#

I feel like Goodra and Drampa would be less popular

storm tinsel
#

Actually I have no idea what's popular, don't listen to me, I never have the popular favorites dndunssjsk

unborn elm
#

Wait

storm tinsel
#

The one execption is Gastrodon apparently?

unborn elm
#

Mega shedinjaw

#

But it’s ghost dark

storm tinsel
#

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 :)

unborn elm
#

Mega shedinja being ghost dark would. Be op

#

And has 2 hp baby

storm tinsel
#

Funnier idea what typing has the most weaknesses

#

Give Shedinja that type combo

unborn elm
#

Rock steel has 2 4x weaknesses

#

Fighting and ground

#

But ghost dark would be amazing

#

Only weak to diary

#

Fairy

storm tinsel
#

When I kill Shedinja by having it read my diary

unborn elm
#

So it’s be insanely hard to beat without fairy burn or poison

That poll lasted less than an hour????

unborn elm

I closed it

storm tinsel

Oh alright lol

unborn elm

It was too far up lol

storm tinsel
#

You could've replied to it

unborn elm
#

I did

#

Like twice

storm tinsel
#

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

unborn elm
#

Yea

#

I set it for only an hour anyways

drowsy veldt
lime void
#

Good news, the only Pokémon that has anything to do with milk is Miltank

lime void
#

So mega Shedinja is basically invincible

unborn elm
#

😭😭😭😭😭

#

I meant fairy💔

lime void
storm tinsel
#

Mega Shedinja, only weak to diaries and dairy

unborn elm
#

Is our friend

#

He would do nothing wrong

#

The hypnotizing is a lie by the media

storm tinsel
#

I'm scared

unborn elm
#

Devote to Malamar

#

Hail Malamar

#

Wait I just got a funny idea

storm tinsel
#

The malamars are making a cult again... Despair

unborn elm
#

What if in the game

#

There’s a guest to save a group from mega Malamar and get the stone

lime void
unborn elm
#

But in reality the group actually just REALLY liked Malamar lol

opal gull
#

anybody seen any good fanart or memes of the new megas

drowsy veldt
#

So glad I'm immune to persuasion and hypnosis.
Means I can protect my food from mega malamar!

unborn elm
#

And weren’t hypnotized

#

Would be funny

#

We need mega Haxourus and this game is peak

storm tinsel
#

What if

#

Haxorous mega

#

But it just turns into an axe

#

No more limbs and body for you, you are an axe now

gray canopy
#

Is this real

opal gull
#

yes

storm tinsel
#

Yes

gray canopy
#

🤩🤣🥸

drowsy veldt
gray canopy
#

Why on earth

storm tinsel
#

I can feel the pain in your emojis

opal gull
#

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

gray canopy
#

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

unborn elm
#

I need my goated dragon to be badass

gray canopy
#

And replaying this will be awful if you have to erase the time gated stones

unborn elm
#

More badass then it normally is

storm tinsel
#

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

unborn elm
#

It gets bipedal

storm tinsel
#

Then it matches Dragonite

lime void
storm tinsel
unborn elm
#

Wait no

#

Wrong word

#

It goes on all fours

storm tinsel
#

Oh you meant quadruped

unborn elm
#

Yea

#

And gets an blade on its head

#

So it can stab and slash

storm tinsel
#

New pitch

#

Mega Lanturn

#

But no one knows what it looks like

#

Because it just makes everyone blind instantly

lime void
gray canopy
storm tinsel
#

If you encounter mega lanturn in your game the screen is permanently whited out and you have to play the whole thing by sound

opal gull
gray canopy
#

That’s so awful

wooden lion
#

Pitch: Mega Pachirisu

It gains the fairy type and has an acorn made of electricity

#

(It’ll never happen)

warm knot
#

They'll probably spread the seasons across multiple months so you'll have to pay for online multiple times

gray canopy
#

Pitch: mega gholdengo where you have to spend 100$ in the e shop to get the mega stone

warm knot
#

As one (Good as Gold, Beast Boost)

storm tinsel
#

If someone's looking for a pokemon like game to play not run by money hungry people Beastieball is super fun

warm knot
#

If you want a pokemon game made with heart and soul play a romhack

unborn elm
#

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

gray canopy
#

Yooooooooo paid dlc island also

copper sequoia
#

Have you guys heard of this game called infinite fusion

gray canopy
#

No idk what that is

warm knot
#

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

gray canopy
#

Sadly yeah

lime void
storm tinsel
#

Yeah

wooden lion
#

What about Mega Yamper? Where it can throw a pokeball (sort of like fling)

storm tinsel
#

Only cool spheals and mudkips get to infinite fusion Quagless

lime void
wooden lion
copper sequoia
#

That’s true

storm tinsel
warm knot
#

They should give charizard another mega it hasnt gotten anything in a while

storm tinsel
#

Boltund?

warm knot
#

Has game freak forgotten about it?

copper sequoia
gray canopy
#

Please 90 more Gen 1 things

wooden lion
warm knot
#

Where is the mew mega

storm tinsel
copper crater
#

I just want mega hydreigon as my pie in the sky mega

storm tinsel
#

Must be a really niche pokemon

warm knot
#

Pokemon's forgotten gem

copper sequoia
#

What’s a random shitmon that could use a mega

warm knot
#

Ariados

storm tinsel
#

Stunfisk

copper sequoia
#

Orhtworm would be funny heehee

storm tinsel
#

Sunkern

#

Not even Sunflora, Sunkern

copper sequoia
acoustic igloo
wooden lion
warm knot
#

Mega Blissey could be cool

copper sequoia
#

Have they ever given anything to a pikaclone outside of its generation

wooden lion
warm knot
#

pikaclones are so boring

acoustic igloo
#

I get that Emolga is already based, but a mega would still be cool.

wooden lion
storm tinsel
#

Mega furret but really really really long- I'm just describijg gigantamaxes instead of megas lol

storm tinsel
copper sequoia
#

So no point in giving them anything else lol

wooden lion
storm tinsel
#

Yes

warm knot
#

Pawmot also requires you to walk with your pokemon to evolve it I think

wooden lion
warm knot
#

So it kind of shows that mechanic

storm tinsel
#

Oh the electric gym?

#

Oh lolololol

wooden lion
#

Yes

copper crater
#

Morpeko wasn't related to dynamax at least

#

Though I guess it was tied to Marnie at least

storm tinsel
#

Morpeko was just hungry

wooden lion
#

Tbh I want Pach to get something because of it’s significance to Kalos

warm knot
#

How so

acoustic igloo
#

Pachirisu was significant to Kalos?

copper sequoia
#

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 heehee

wooden lion
copper sequoia
warm knot
#

I guess

wooden lion
storm tinsel
#

New pitch

#

Mega Electrode

acoustic igloo
#

Oh, that.

storm tinsel
#

It looks the same but is bigger and sideways

acoustic igloo
copper sequoia
# storm tinsel 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

storm tinsel
wooden lion
#

Probably cus of stack overflows

gray canopy
#

Mega electrode ability should triple every moves power but make it explode itself

storm tinsel
#

Would you like to
A- Explode
B- Explode
C- Explode
or
D- Explode

acoustic igloo
storm tinsel
#

New pitch

#

Mega serpior but it turns into one of those worms on a string

warm knot
#

mega serperior with contrary

storm tinsel
#

I knew I was forgetting some part of the name

#

To make up for this mistake I will now call serperior serpererior

lime void
warm knot
#

serpererior the surpererior name

fading sonnet
#

Orange or Red?

wooden lion
#

Or Orangish Red

fading sonnet
#

Some people were speculating Flygonite.

#

But I might take this with a grain of salt.

#

What do you guys think?

wooden lion
#

Could be the sceptilite or maybe the ||chensughtite?||

fading sonnet
#

Last time I checked,

wooden lion
#

Hm

#

Sceptilite seems to be the closest so maybe it’s just from the rotation of the stone?

indigo mango
#

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

forest egret
#

They couldn't give pikachu a mega so this is their cope

wooden lion
hazy knot
#

we all have different opinions about the starters clearly Quagless

indigo mango
#

its just flying upside down urgh

wooden lion
indigo mango
#

tho i also dont like greninja so unless it got a whole remodel it woudnt look good to me

wooden lion
indigo mango
#

tbh greninja model i expected like a more buff battle bond

wooden lion
indigo mango
#

since battle bond was its mega in the anime pretty much

wooden lion
#

Yeah true

#

I do think chesnaught is the best design wise. Gives off her Dnd Fighter or barbarian type feel

indigo mango
#

ye i think all 3 where supposed to be some dnd class

latent owl
latent owl
indigo mango
#

so are we expecting the dlc to be story or just "pay more to get more megas in the game"

wooden lion
#

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)

indigo mango
#

but both are very much more pikachu

fading sonnet
latent owl
#

mega x is pikachu raichu and mega y is raichu pikachu

fading sonnet
#

And they are both pure electric.

indigo mango
#

ye but its still mostly pikachu body tbh

latent owl
#

both have raichu belly

fading sonnet
#

Well, I wanted that from a Mega Raichu, a badass version of Pikachu.

warm knot
#

It's 95% pikachu

latent owl
#

for sprites

fading sonnet
#

I hope the speed increases when it Mega Evolves.

latent owl
#

one will be bulky

fading sonnet
latent owl
#

oh

#

mb

fading sonnet
#

And if it is Sceptilite, seems like again poor Flygon would have to wait.

indigo mango
#

i mean the way the dlc was teased it basically just screams "we have alot more but only if you pay us more"

fading sonnet
#

I bet someone would be willing to give all their life savings to make Mega Flygon become a reality.

wooden lion
#

I think a lot of ppl would

fading sonnet
warm knot
#

Would you rather they half-ass mega flygon or not release it

fading sonnet
#

Nintendo is probably entering EA territory at this point.

indigo mango
wooden lion
#

I kinda wish the psuedo’s didn’t have megas as they really didn’t need them

warm knot
#

Exactly

fading sonnet
#

Least Flygon fans could do is hope.

#

I personally would love to see a Mega Milotic.

sinful dagger
#

them announcing paid DLC before the game is even released made me ask myself "Am I actually in an abusive relationship?"

forest egret
#

Paid DLC and a battle pass

sinful dagger
#

you're kidding right

#

is there really a battle pass too

forest egret
sinful dagger
#

maybe I'll return the switch 2....

warm knot
#

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

spare roost
#

if i ever do get a switch 2 (not likely) at this point im just going to buy tomodachi life and fire emblem

tepid flame
#

I guess it'll make WolveyVGC and the Smogoners happy?

brazen jetty
#

I'm not buying the game anyways so i just get to spectate and watch everything burn popkern

violet gale
#

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

indigo mango
# forest egret

its just like...by the time "season 2 starts" everyone finished the game so its really just a mega for online play

violet gale
#

I breed competitive pokemon, I dont use competitive pokemon Despair

#

I miss my Liligant now from SwSh

indigo mango
violet gale
indigo mango
#

also the way it was teased, the dlc will just be extra megas no story

stark skiff
# forest egret

Im praying that pokemon hears the outrage from the fans and undoes this

hazy knot
#

unlikely

violet gale
hazy knot
#

im pretty mad about it too, but i might actually try competitive because of it so there is that Quagless

violet gale
tepid flame
hazy knot
#

yeah, they are quite notorious for not doing that heehee

indigo mango
#

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

violet gale
#

Did they say breeding is gonna be in this game

tepid flame
#

It's very funny to see them like

violet gale
#

I hope Mawile is here

tepid flame
#

Actively draining the fans' trust in the Legends spinoff brand by doing this

lime void
hazy knot
#

my planned team currently just consists of victreebel. i would love a delphox but it looks like that one isnt happening oopsies

indigo mango
tepid flame
#

Just yknow

#

Tryhard in ranked maybe you'll get there

hazy knot
#

true, i guess

#

i did say i would try ranked but i have no clue how to do pvp like at all

tepid flame
#

I'm so glad my last experience playing Pokemon is Gen 7 lmao

indigo mango
#

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

hazy knot
#

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

violet gale
hazy knot
indigo mango
#

ah ye just the mon itself isnt a reward

hazy knot
#

ye, just talking about megas currently

#

i have no clue what i want the rest of my team to be

indigo mango
#

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

violet gale
#

Legends Arceus was so good

charred sage
#

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

lime void
lime void
hazy knot
#

true 😔

uneven path
#

emboar sweep 😔

jade ocean
#

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

sinful dagger
#

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

tawdry flame
#

The customization might be present, but only time will tell

sinful dagger
#

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

jade ocean
#

An entirely different Pokemon

#

You can give something to Alolan Raichu and not give something to Base Raichu

#

And vice versa

lime void
#

It still got special attention in a Gen not old enough to have a remake

tawdry flame
#

Mega Raichu Y reminds me of alolan raichu

jade ocean
lime void
#

Plus, no Pokémon should have more then 1 mega

jade ocean
#

Could've been worse, like something like Charizard or Mewtwo

#

... Wait a second...

lime void
#

It's not horribly overshadowed. It's a Gen 1 Pokémon that already received special attention

lime void
jade ocean
#

Like, 5% of the fanbase?

tawdry flame
#

In before mega hoopa x & y does happen

jade ocean
#

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

lime void
jade ocean
#

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

lime void
#

And anyone who played any Pokémon game ever would think of Raichu at the exact same time as Pikachu.

jade ocean
#

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?

lime void
#

At least it's remembered, unlike several other Pokémon.

jade ocean
#

So you probably forgot who

lime void
#

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

jade ocean
#

And I don't think it's like

#

Stupid late

#

But the Johto games always manage to surprise me with stupid encounters

lime void
jade ocean
#

Helps that it's a piece of shit to fight in RandBats and that I'm a competitive player

lime void
#

And I'm sure there are plenty more forgettable and deserving Pokémon that I'm not thinking of

jade ocean
#

So I'm not really an accurate judge

sinful dagger
#

I was awful in history class, but I recognize every pokemon by its cry

jade ocean
sinful dagger
#

some are exactly the same

jade ocean
#

That's like actually kinda cool as fuck

sinful dagger
#

like good luck telling early caterpie apart from goldeen but

jade ocean
#

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

sinful dagger
#

but I digress I was trying to make a funny CattoBlush resume the legends ZA discourse

#

I do hope we see some more uncommon pokemon get megas

#

I for one would love mega jumpluff

jade ocean
#

5 fucking polls
"Holy shit"

sinful dagger
#

I think the wolpertinger antlers on Rai Y are cute, but the rest for both the XY megas seems pretty bare bones and negligible

little nacelle
#

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.

jade ocean
little nacelle
#

like

#

I'm sorry but

#

It's VERY UNDERSTANDABLE that I thought this was pikachu

sinful dagger
#

no you're right

jade ocean
#

Which is like on one hand that's fucking stupid

sinful dagger
#

the lights were so flashy I could barely tell

little nacelle
#

And there's this guy who also doesn't adopt raichus color scheme at all

jade ocean
#

But on the other if Pikachu wasn't as popular as it was this would've never been a question

little nacelle
#

One is raichu with Pikachu colors
One is Pikachu with raichu colors

sinful dagger
#

it's a shame cus raichu is so lovable and chubby and orange

little nacelle
#

Yeah like I'm sorry but it's just bad 😭

little nacelle
#

Dear artists once we sprite these guys PLEASE FIX THEIR PALETTE ISSUES

#

Make raichu X take the right colors

jade ocean
#

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

sinful dagger
#

flying on the broom was a very cute idea

little nacelle
#

The kalos starters actually got a fucking glow up deadass

#

I already liked chesnaught and greninja

sinful dagger
#

mega greninja didn't really do it for me tho

little nacelle
#

Now add delphox to that

little nacelle
wooden lion
jade ocean
#

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

wooden lion
#

It just kinda gets longer hair and that’s it

jade ocean
#

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

wooden lion
#

I think Chesnaught is the best design wise

sinful dagger
#

I'm not mad about it

jade ocean
#

Also rewatching the trailer I may move Chesnaught up to a 5 too

lime void
#

It should be docked points because of its stupid obtainment method

jade ocean
#

But that isn't an option

#

So I'm gonna be generous and not dock points for it

lime void
jade ocean
#

And I don't feel like deleting and reuploading them

#

Repost?

#

Idk

#

Who cares what the correct term is

sinful dagger
#

if I had to vote based on marketing I'm in a sour enough mood to give them all negatives :D

wooden lion
#

Tbh out of the 5 new megas i like mega Chesnaught & Greninja, indifferent on the raichu variants, and hate mega Dhelphox

spare roost
#

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

wooden lion
#

Yeah lol

#

I mean the most popular Kalos starter has a decent mega

spare roost
#

its just intelleon but upside down, they could hae done literally anything else

wooden lion
#

Eh not really? It plays up the ninja aspect of Greninja than the frog side

jade ocean
wooden lion
#

And I like it

jade ocean
#

Bro, Greninja is right there

spare roost
jade ocean
#

I do not see what you're seeing

wooden lion
#

These are not similar in the slightest

spare roost
#

standing on a waterplatofmr

#

and just the regular dude

#

excpet now im upside down

wooden lion
#

Isn’t Intelron’s sniper platform made from its tail

storm tinsel
#

I suppose but if Greninja wasn't upside down it'd be more of a hover board situation, not a sniper tower

storm tinsel
spare roost
#

maybe?

opal gull
#

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

sinful dagger
#

tail has water elements too

#

I understand the sentiment

drowsy veldt
#

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)

spare roost
opal gull
#

it's already confirmed ot all be in lumiose

spare roost
#

the wild zones are the the "nature" areas so you don't go outside the city

opal gull
#

its just a lumiose that isnt scaled down

#

or at least isnt scaled down as much

sinful dagger
#

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

drowsy veldt
#

Why didn't they expand out

spare roost
#

ill just wait for alternative methods

spare roost
drowsy veldt
#

Maybe I should just find my pokemon x game and replay that on release date

jade ocean
sinful dagger
#

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

spare roost
#

👌

sinful dagger
#

I personally want to lean away from the ||horse|| designs and more into ||centipede|| but I just have this feeling

spare roost
#

oh...

drowsy veldt
#

||where mega rapidash||

spare roost
#

you... you might want to stay away from this game then

sinful dagger
#

that would be so rad

lime void
storm tinsel
#

Scolipede with whirlipede wheels would be so funny

spare roost
#

okay, when does having an alternate form stop them from getting a mega (looking at you raichu)

drowsy veldt
storm tinsel
#

I still can't believe Raichu Y just is a pikachu

#

It isn't the body of a raichus sbhsansusk

spare roost
#

at least the other one has elements of Gorochu

#

aka beta raichu

drowsy veldt
#

Getting little inspiration on what fairy run starter will be and reading chat at the same time
||your clicking this has been noted||

spare roost
#

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

jade ocean
#

But that'd also make me hate it even more

#

Because it's fucking stupid

drowsy veldt
#

Good thing I don't mega evolve
Doesn't sound great

storm tinsel
#

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

jade ocean
#

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

storm tinsel
#

I love Raichu, I would've loved an actual mega Raichu

jade ocean
#

Way lower than it should be

#

Like this is why I rank Pikachu in like

tawdry flame
#

Isn't there a ultra sun or moon entry that proves kanto raichu is unpopular?

jade ocean
#

D tier

#

Not because of it, but because of its effects on the game

jade ocean
#

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

drowsy veldt
storm tinsel
#

Probably sndjsnajajaiai

jade ocean
#

Pikachu's effects on the game have been straight up negative

exotic berry
jade ocean
#

And even if Pikachu has a decent design that alone is enough to make me rate it lower

sinful dagger
#

I always loved how anime raichu sounded congested

jade ocean
#

Not as bad as the baby Pokemon or Flutter Mane though

storm tinsel
exotic berry
#

I like pancake surfer raichu better

sinful dagger
#

the surfing on the tail gimmick was a fun design

arctic pendant
#

I think that’s gonna be what I say as a compliment next time I go to one

stark skiff
#

Yall can never make me hate them

#

Me boys ❤️

shrewd hearth
#

They look way more like Pikachu than raichu and it's obvious that's the whole point

olive panther
#

So, I'm a little lost on something. What's the pvp/paywall crap with the Kalos starter megas?

shrewd hearth
#

So getting them are locked behind a subscription

olive panther
#

I see.

shrewd hearth
#

And are also limited time cause if U start a new playthrough years from now U just cant get their mega stones

olive panther
#

Yeah, fuck that. As someone who hates pvp, that alone makes me displeased.

shrewd hearth
#

Not just PvP mind U it's ranked Pvp

hazy knot
#

is it like people in a certain place get them and just those people?

shrewd hearth
#

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

drowsy veldt
#

at least we can get the mega sprites for pif

tawdry flame
#

there's barely anyone who likes mega raichu online

olive panther
#

I like the three starter megas, raichu is eh to me, I agree it feels more like mega pikachu.

civic cloud
#

I don’t know if I like mega delphox or not

olive panther
#

I agree.

#

He my boy.

hazy knot
#

but what can ya do, it’s the mascot Azusob

shrewd hearth
#

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

storm tinsel
#

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

tepid flame
#

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

indigo mango
#

i mean megas are just battle forms not even real evos, so yeah no reason they couldnt give pre evos megas

cunning sierra
robust wren
# cunning sierra

That third one is going to supply Flygon fans with enough Copium to last until the release of the DLC lol

cunning sierra
#

I said Swalot, Clawitzer or Crabominable and either Flygon or Yanmega (Bug/Dragon if so)

robust wren
#

Yanmega becoming Bug/Dragon makes more sense than Flygon if you were to ask me

olive panther
#

I could definitely see that being a thing with yanmega.

indigo mango
#

its already mega tho

robust wren
#

Also giving a Pokemon with Speed Boost a Mega is asking for shenanigans if it's ever added to Gen 10

robust wren
cunning sierra
#

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

robust wren
# cunning sierra

The cyan-purple-yellow Mega Stone is super aesthetically pleasing, but I'm blanking on what Pokemon have that palette

jade ocean
# cunning sierra

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?

jade ocean
robust wren
#

Nevermind then, I refuse to call anything related to Crabominable aesthetically pleasing

cunning sierra
#

Just you wait for it to be added!

#

I'll be the Crabominable fan!

jade ocean
#

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||

cunning sierra
#

Let's also consider ||Mega Raichu X and Y weren't leaked||

jade ocean
robust wren
#

The fact that it's extra probable makes it so much worse

cunning sierra
#

Considering how inaccurate the depictions are, maybe it'll be viable

jade ocean
#

I checked the Sceptilite, and it is different from the green one, though not by that much all things considered

jade ocean
#

I mean yeah obviously not 100% accurate

cunning sierra
#

From the depicted designs, kinda

#

But the Megas? Yes

jade ocean
#

But still

#

But it is notable that Starmie's descriptor was very short

cunning sierra
#

Fair

jade ocean
#

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

robust wren
#

I don't want my favorite Gen 1 Pokemon to just become that meme of Patrick Star wearing fishnets. Please no

shrewd hearth
#

Like why tf does mega scolipede look like it's gonna be called iron wheel

jade ocean
shrewd hearth
#

Ikr

robust wren
shrewd hearth
#

I hated what all of them are iron **** like wtf that's so lazy

jade ocean
#

Not very inspired

shrewd hearth
#

They suck

#

Plain and simple

jade ocean
#

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

shrewd hearth
#

The whole paradox crap was just a way to recycle old Pokemon with like no changes

jade ocean
#

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

sinful dagger
#

Mega Yanmega heehee

robust wren
#

Slither Wing is amazing and I will hear no slander towards it

jade ocean
#

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

shrewd hearth
#

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

jade ocean
#

And it's also a massive piece of shit competitively

#

And its type makes like 0 sense

robust wren
#

Darwinian evolution works in strange ways

jade ocean
#

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

shrewd hearth
#

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

jade ocean
#

Arceus should fucking smite this bitch

#

Hit it with the Ekiller +2 Shadow Claw and erase it from existence or something idk

robust wren
sinful dagger
#

I don't think the galar fossils were rock were they?

jade ocean
#

Nope

#

I love typos

sinful dagger
#

there ya go

jade ocean
#

Why doesn't Autocorrect correct that typo

shrewd hearth
forest egret
#

I like to imagine that rock pokemon's bones preserve better which is why all the fossils they happen to find are rock type

jade ocean
#

But yeah they were too busy pushing the point that the galarian fossils are amalgamated abominations

#

To add the rock type

shrewd hearth
sinful dagger
#

I hated them until I saw what they were based on and then I kind of warmed up to em

jade ocean
#

I mean amalgamated abominations affectionately

shrewd hearth
#

What says rock type about Tortuga

forest egret
#

His shell

shrewd hearth
#

It's a turtle

sinful dagger
#

sssshell

jade ocean
shrewd hearth
#

It's blue it doesn't even look rock like

jade ocean
#

Since it does have a hard shell

#

Speaking of the Tirtouga line

tawdry flame
# latent owl

|| people are saying they see flygon in the mega stone||

forest egret
#

It's like a deep blue grey it reads as rock to me

jade ocean
#

Carracosta is mentioned to have a very strong bite, obviously as a reference to snapping turtles

#

But like

tawdry flame
#

|| like as a reflection||

jade ocean
#

It learns barely any biting moves

#

And doesn't have Strong Jaw

jade ocean
robust wren
#

Flygon fans need something to keep them going, let's let them have this for now

jade ocean
#

But yeah, I think the purple unidentified one is ||the leaked Mega Chandelure||

#

And the

forest egret
#

Mega Charizard P

jade ocean
#

Oops I typed enter too early

#

I'm a goober

shrewd hearth
#

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

jade ocean
#

And the unidentified cyan one matches Crabominable's colour palette to a tee

#

So I think that could work

jade ocean
#

It also like

hazy knot
#

i have a list of guesses for most of the mega stones ill share here rq (maybe)

jade ocean
#

Really hates the Rock type

#

It already has the Ice type as a slow defensive Pokemon

robust wren
# latent owl

Ok but imagine this was actually a Reuniclus stone
It would be so funny

jade ocean
#

It doesn't need the 2nd terrible defensive type

forest egret
#

Brock type

shrewd hearth
#

I like the idea of all of them getting ancient power but there's a couple lines that shouldn't be rock type

jade ocean
#

Should the Mega have Regenerator or Magic Guard though

#

Reuniclus usually prefers the latter

robust wren
#

No slot for a Life Orb, so I would vote Regenerator

jade ocean
#

But it can't stack on Life Orb or Leftovers with it here

shrewd hearth
#

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

jade ocean
#

Since the moon is heavily linked to Fairy through moves

shrewd hearth
#

Even tho it's basically on the same place as ivysaur in terms of evolution line

jade ocean
#

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

shrewd hearth
#

They need to make a couple more Pokemon fairy like they missed a solid 10-15 Pokemon when gen 6 happened

jade ocean
#

Ditch the Psychic type

#

Screw it

robust wren
#

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

shrewd hearth
#

Also celebi needs to be a fairy CAUSE IT LITERALLY IS ONE

jade ocean
#

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

shrewd hearth
#

Game freak pisses me off so much sometimes with how they simultaneously fuck stuff up and do jack shit

jade ocean
#

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

hazy knot
jade ocean
robust wren
jade ocean
#

Because fuck Dynamax

hazy knot
#

LMAO yeah to both of those

robust wren
#

Drum Monke doesn't need any buffs

jade ocean
#

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

hazy knot
#

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

jade ocean
hazy knot
#

i have no clue what the blue and green one could be 😔

jade ocean
#

One next to it looks like maybe Victreebel

hazy knot
jade ocean
#

Anyone have an image of either of their mega stones?

hazy knot
#

i did have a full list, but a few i think might be accurate: ||pyroar, quagsire?? idk, keldeo maybe??, and skuntank/chandelure/swalot||

jade ocean
#

Bottom right seems to me like the leaked ||Mega Chandelure stone||

hazy knot
#

last one is a complete mystery to me, though ||chandelure|| is the most likely for reasons 😔

robust wren
#

Bottom left really does invoke Cinderace before anything else in My head, but I can't imagine it's that

jade ocean
#

One next to it we were discussing most matches ||Avalugg and Crabominable in colour palette||

hazy knot
#

also i have no clue what green/orange or blue/yellow/purple could represent then

jade ocean
#

Or like another Pokemon

hazy knot
jade ocean
#

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||

hazy knot
#

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

jade ocean
#

I could see the one in Row 2 Column 1 being ||Mega Emboar||

#

Bottom left does really resemble Cinderace admittedly

hazy knot
#

i really think thats ||pyroar|| actually, which was also from the leaks

jade ocean
#

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

hazy knot
#

imagine we're crazy and these are all just existing mega stones Quagless

jade ocean
hazy knot
jade ocean
#

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

robust wren
#

Crazy long shot here- what if the middle far right is Seaking?

hazy knot
#

hmm, thats like the only blue/green pokemon i know though

hazy knot
jade ocean
#

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

hazy knot
#

theyd go for more vibrant colors for that one, surely

jade ocean
#

(They got those 1 game later)

#

And they are both bipedal starter fighting type birds

robust wren
#

Quaquaval getting a Mega before Skeledirge and Meowscarada would actually be crazy, especially considering it's the least popular of the 3

jade ocean
#

I'm just spouting random shit for a Mega Stone I have 0 idea for

hazy knot
#

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 heehee

jade ocean
#

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

hazy knot
#

two of those 100% look like intelleon and rillaboom stones

jade ocean
#

But that title also goes to H-Samurott and Primarina

jade ocean
hazy knot
#

what do you think the green/black/orange and blue/purple/yellow stones are?

#

those two are my only guesses

jade ocean
hazy knot
#

talking about the blue one

#

row 3 column 3

jade ocean
#

I can't read, I'm an Undertale fan

hazy knot
#

same Quagless

jade ocean
#

I guess that could be Inteleon

#

But it reminds me more of Crabominable

hazy knot
#

the one above it though?

jade ocean
#

And could also be Avalugg

hazy knot
#

yeah thats a good theory

jade ocean
#

Yanmega and Flygon come to mind

hazy knot
#

im not sure if we should be spoilering or not but flygon looks like top right to me. yanmega is a good guess

jade ocean
#

I think out of the 3 Yanmega feels like it fits the colouration the most

jade ocean
#

But the ones that are leaked info then yeah we should

#

Top right looks like Victreebel to me

hazy knot
#

for sure. also i dont see victreebel in that one. why would it be green and red?

jade ocean
#

Top right has greenish yellow and pink

hazy knot
#

i feel like it would maybe be green/yellow, or even green/orange

jade ocean
#

Which are both colours that Victreebel possesses

hazy knot
#

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

jade ocean
#

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

hazy knot
#

my guess is still on flygon, but it could be anything

rocky stratus
#

Anybody else hoping for mega electivire?

wooden lion
rocky stratus
#

Yeah, but they probably would have led with them, I mean they love electivire and magmortar

sturdy flower
#

it's||aegislash imo||

#

also on the stone, black is a very small stripe even though||chandelure|| is mostly black

olive panther

I'm not sure

icy basalt
# sturdy flower

oh wait im stupid i just noticed this
the color in the back is what type they gain when mega evolving

sturdy flower
#

it's just the main color of the pokemon

jade ocean
#

For all we know, it is

#

Or isn't

sturdy flower
#

great

jade ocean
#

So I think it's perfectly reasonable to take the megas we know of from leaks into consideration

sturdy flower
#

guess we'll have to wait and see

jade ocean
#

Also, how would they even do a Mega Aegislash

sturdy flower
#

also yesterday's trailer is apparently the last one

jade ocean
#

Would it still have Stance Change?

sturdy flower
jade ocean
#

And be able to swap between a ridiculously defensively minmaxed and offensively minmaxed mode?

sturdy flower
#

i mean why not

jade ocean
#

I mean it already kinda does that

sturdy flower
#

we might get news on the dlc though

drowsy veldt
#

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

pure elk
#

Have u guys heard anything about mega stones being locked behind ranked play?

#

Also pokemon home transfers are one way into ZA?

drowsy veldt
#

They were talking about pvp mega stone rewards a lot yesterday

pure elk
#

I just saw something about it this morning smh

#

Are ranked battles gonna be realtime, or normal turn based

sturdy flower
#

yeah the kalos starters' mega stones can be obtained during specific time frames

jade ocean
#

Tbh I don't have an issue with the pvp part of getting it

sturdy flower
#

and as rewards for online play

#

aka, you gotta pay for online

jade ocean
#

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

sturdy flower
jade ocean
#

It's so garbage actually

sturdy flower
#

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

jade ocean
#

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

sturdy flower
#

minus however much i can sell my switch one for

jade ocean
#

To be honest, this is the number 1 reason why I am never getting into VGC

#

I just

#

Can't

sturdy flower
#

it's not like it's world championships tier

pure elk
#

They’re doing this so u pay more money

jade ocean
#

Smogon no diffs TPC in this aspect so hard

pure elk
#

And making just easy enough for some ppl to defend it

sturdy flower
#

if the game actually ends up being fun and good i'll probably still get it

pure elk
#

Big doubt

sturdy flower
#

why big doubt

jade ocean
#

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

pure elk
# sturdy flower why big doubt

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

jade ocean
#

But this shit pisses me off so much

sturdy flower
#

there are undeniably ups and downs

pure elk
#

I think arceus was going in the right direction, and I’m afraid za is tipping the scale too far

sturdy flower
#

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"

pure elk
#

I never wanted it heehee

sturdy flower
#

what were you expecting, a game identical to a mainline?

jade ocean
sturdy flower
#

i really like the fight mechanic, i might even like it more than regular turn based battles

jade ocean
#

And L:A is considered by most if not all sources to be mainline

sturdy flower
#

what? legends is not a mainline

#

each gen marks a mainline title

jade ocean
#

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

sturdy flower
#

SWSH and SV are mainlines

pure elk
#

If I want realtime battle, I wanna play as the pkmn not the trainer Despair

jade ocean
#

I'm not gonna do that shit again

sturdy flower
#

makes no sense to call it a mainline imo

#

because it's radically different from most titles

jade ocean
pure elk
#

It’s not so much different than SV stare

sturdy flower
#

they're sequels

#

do you also count BDSP as a mainline then?
