So I check Pokebech, seein' if there's any news... AND BAM! I was hit by a Honedge (excuse me for the lame pun on "two edged sword"). Did someone down at Gamefreak flip their lids? They showed a few of these new mega evolutions, we got Mega Blaziken, Mega Lucario, Mega Absol, Mega Ampharos, Mega Mewtwo (which is actually just the new Mewtwo form) and Mega Mawile. These forms don't look "bad", but I can't help but wonder if some of these forms couldn't have been just a regular evolution. Why couldn't Lucario, Mawile and Absol just evolve, where as Pokemon like Mewtwo and other two stage Pokemon "mega evolve"? It would've have made more sense. I'm honestly not sure how I feel about this. I don't mind the designs for the most part, they do look interesting if not maybe a bit overblown, but at least they look "mega", I guess.

It will probably be a lot of fun despite this strangeness. Lucario was almost borderline/underused in competitive play, where as Pokemon like Absol and Mawile where almost completely unused. So seeing these Pokemon get a boost in performance is welcomed in my book. It's said you need one to two items to turn them into their mega evolutions, so these might not even be permanent.

Mega Blaziken- This one gets the very ability that threw ordinary Blaziken into the "Ubers" tier in competitive play: Speed Boost. An ability that raises its speed stat x1.5 every turn until it gets x3 speed. There is no word on if this Pokemon changes types. A special Torchic will be given out over Wi-Fi sometime after X & Y's release. This Torchic will be holding one of the necessary item to obtain Mega Blaziken. Its design somehow got uglier from regular Blaziken. I can't say I like this one in the least! Mega Blaziken kind of looks like an "X", so I'm guessing that these "Mega Evolutions" have to do with Xerneas and Yveltal and their DNA in some form. I bet on the surface, Team Flair looks like it wants to make money, but deep down, they have some ulterior motive. Much like most teams previous.

Mega Lucario- Regular Lucario? PAH! Make room for the new and improved(?) MEGA LUCARIO! Now with more fuzz! It now sports a super fuzzy tail and its feet now have spikes like its arms and chest. Its black, droopy head things became wispy. They kind of look like Giratina Origin form's wings. This Lucario definitely looks more fearsome. It does however, look like "let's add a shit-ton more spikes!". Lucario looks like it was possessed by Yveltal and its chest fur makes a Y logo. Mega Lucario will have the ability Adaptability making all moves similar to Lucario's type deal 2x damage instead of the usual 1.5x damage. 180 Power, never-miss Aura Sphere here I come! :dummy:

Mega Absol- Straight to the overused competitive tier with this one! It has access to the much coveted Magic Bounce ability which will make it a great switch in on predicted Stealth Rocks, Thunder Waves or Taunts. Nothing is known about additional types, but it looks like it may become part Fairy, Flying or Dragon. This one looks pretty cool, I like the new set of wings it now sports. It still largely resembles your regular Absol; it just looks bigger and meaner looking. Not much else is know about it. I can't help but wonder why this couldn't just be a regular evolution though.

Mega Mawile- This is going to be one over powered Pokemon. Its type gained the additional Fairy type, making it a complete dragon killer. It looks pretty cool, and now has a new head... Mouth... Thing. It also comes with the unbalanced as all heck Huge Power. To put this into perspective, regular Mawile(which will also become part Fairy) has a base 85 attack stat. 85 is nothing big, Salamence has 130 to put that into perspective. Huge Power will double that 85. It now has a 170 attack stat which is comparable to Black Kyurem. I'm only talking about regular Mawile here too. This isn't taking into account the possible attack boost it will likely get becoming a Mega Mawile. Scary. I like this one.

Mega Ampharos- He looks so fabulous. All that hair! He looks like a Fabio. In this form, he becomes part Dragon and gains the ability Mold Breaker. It basically becomes Zekrom? At least he's gotten more fabulous!

We were shown three new Pokemon as well. Gogoat's pre-evolution, a bunny that looks like it hopped out of some Miyazaki film and Pikac- I mean some kind of adorable gerbil that looks a lot like Pikachu and is Fairy/Electric... So it's what Pikachu should become?

So guys, tell me what you think.

1.Are you happy about this new mechanic and think that this is a great new mechanic for competition and in game? Or do you think this was just too much? Did this effect your decision to buy/play this game/

2. What do you think of these new Pokemon?
