Pokémon X&Y post-launch discussion thread - AKA Jinx is Upset

[Skyblade]

I think Mega Mewtwo Y looks good. Not just acceptable, but GOOD. And I don't like Mega Mewtwo X at all.

Thank you!

I agree, Mega Mewtwo Y looks good. It's not perfect, but it looks like an evolution of Mewtwo should look. Smaller, weaker, less intimidating. Because it isn't a physical Pokémon, it destroys you with its mind. The only embellishments go to its head, which contains the brain that is going to end you in a few seconds.

Mega Mewtwo X just looks wrong. Bulkier and far more physical. It's everything Mewtwo isn't. And the lines of its "bulging muscles" on its hips and wrists just look stupid.

Mega Evolution is pretty useful depending on how you play. For example: My Charizard is normally a great Special Sweeper. When I use the Charizardite X, he gains roughly 20 to his Attack stat and becomes a better Physical Sweeper. So depending on how you set up your pokemon (I'm setting up a Lucario to be a Physical Sweeper thanks to the heavy Attack boost from Mega), it can benefit you greatly. For others, it can just mean a lovely new set of moves, abilities, and typing to take advantage of.

Do the Mega-forms actually get new movesets?

What is crazy is that you get so many great and overpowered pokemon so early on in the game, mostly the Dragons. I can't wait to try out the Sylveon set up Eevees I'm going to be breeding. Also all the other ones I'm breeding for the other evolutions too.

Actually, I just think the game is great for giving you so much variety period, good Pokémon or not. I mean, it seems that every Route has nearly a dozen different Pokémon on it, with very few being duplicates. When you have 50 Pokémon in your Pokédex and you've only left the second city, things are good.

There's so much to do in this game already, I'm wondering how much more is in the postgame.

Let's hope there's a lot. Black and White were great about that.
