Agreed. And it certainly has a much better design than the mega evolutions of two certain pokemon whose names both start with the letter G. *goes back to complaining about Gyarados and Gardevoir's mega evolutions*
We've only seen Mega-Gardevoir from a single screenshot. I'm hoping that the "balloon dress" is actually going to move in combat, so that the majority of the time it won't actually be a balloon.

I mean... maybe it's just the screenshots I've seen, but it looks like Gyara basically goes back to fish-form. What the heck? And it also changes type to Water/Dark apparently, which as cool or whatever it might sound IS JUST NOT WHAT I WANTED FOR MY ALL-TIME FAVOURITE POKEMON! AHHH!!! And I don't want Mold Breaker either. Intimidate or gtfo! =(
If Mega-Evolution is battle only, Intimidate is probably going to be useless on it. Think of it. You send out Gyarados, it Intimidates the foe. You Mega-Evolve it, and now you have a useful ability on it again. It will depend if you can trade out for another Pokémon while keeping the Mega-Evolution, but my guess on that is actually "no". So you'd have Gyarados's Intimidate whenever you needed it, making Mold Breaker essentially a backup for after Intimidate has taken effect.



Also, it seems like Mega Gengar - who actually looks kinda cool by the way - will have 170 base Sp Attack and the Shadow Tag ability. Combine that with 130 speed, and... yeah. Herpaderpasweepadeepah! I'm starting to really hope that activating the mega evos won't be as simple as just equiping the pokemon with the required item and have them transform on the first turn or something.
Is Mega-Gengar still Poison subtyped and weak to Psychic? Or is it going to be Dark?

Everything I've seen has suggested "other requirements", so we'll see what they are. At the very least, though, I'm expecting some restrictions.


Something cool, though, is that Aegislash (final evo of Honedge) not only look nice but seem to be quite a powerhouse too. It learns both Sword Dance and one of the 2x speed-increasing moves and has some pretty nice STAB moves to go with each set like Shadow Sneak and Iron Head. And it gets some pretty nice coverage moves too. In its "attack form" it also has 150 base attack and sp attack and 60 in all other stats, while the defense form has 150 in both defenses and 60 in all the other stats. 60 speed might suck, but Shadow Sneak or 2 x Speed Boost takes care of that.
I've only seen its shield form, which I don't particularly like. 60 HP isn't great either, by the way, even if its defenses rock and it has a great defensive typing too (Steel is seriously Overpowered on the number of resistances it has).


ps: I want pokemon Z alternative mega evolutions for Gyara and Gardevoir.
And I want Mega-Marowak (I figure it would get two clubs, and a more intimidating looking skull/helmet). Maybe Mega Espeon too (definitely a Mega-Umbreon, that poor guy really needs the help), but a Magic Bounce Espeon is still pretty dang powerful, and I don't think the Mega-Evolutions are going to change the fact that the movesets of some Pokémon suck. The Eeveelutions get seriously shafted on what they can learn, attack-wise.
