That last sketch looks like a cross between Sudowoodo and Regigigas.

I'm hoping it's ghost/grass.

I'm hoping it's ghost/grass.

that or it might be a grass/dark

That's quite true, and it's a distinct possibility, but I'm rather hoping for Grass/Ghost as well.  It's a unique typing, unlike the oft-forgotten wood tengu.

The trailer from the movie got released.

Er so there's a new Corocoro scans and and *whistles* it's... quite something.

So there's this thing called mega evolutions, that seem to be a temporary forme change? I think? It's a little vague, and may be something that is performed during battle and then resets? Once again, pretty vague.So er well

Spoiler: Behold (click to show/hide)

So yeah. The forms are just their normal name with Mega in front of it, so the Mewtwo forme revealed a while back was MegaMewtwo. Mega Evolution changes their, stats abilities, and even their typing.

For example Mega Ampharos is Electric/Dragon


In less bizarre news we've got these guys.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Meekuru, the pre evolution of Gogoat
Dedenne, an Electric/Fairy
Horubii is a normal type

Spoiler: And new Gym Leader who is the one who teaches you about mega evolutions. (click to show/hide)

Huh. The mega evolutions sound like it could be a huge gameplay changer, depending on how the evolutions are triggered. If it's some on command thing then it could change competitive play drastically, and even if it's just something that slowly builds up like normal leveling during battles it could lead to metaplay of saving a pokemon with a "megalution" proxed for use when needed and what not.

I never would've thought I'd see such a potential change of gameplay in Pokemon. Kinda crazy.

[RedWarrior0]

My current baseless speculation is an item that, when held, causes mega-forme. Also, only in highest-evolution pokemon and (maybe) only one per party.

Edit: maybe L100 XP instead fills a Limit Break meter that, when full, temporarily gives Mega?

There would probably need to be a reason for you to NOT have a party of just megas, though.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Apparently mega evolutions also give Pokemon great big flowing locks of hair. Who knew?

Judging how some random gym trainer (who I just realized does not have a skull on her head) tells you about it, I'm leaning towards changing on command.

There is some thing about a Mega Stone so it's a good possibility. Also Serebii mentioned something about Mega Blaziken involving a hold item called Blazikenite, so maybe each mon has it's own item?

[Alkhemia]

It nice that they are doing something to Malwile it a pretty cool pokemon but it stats and move set was pretty lackluster.

That would mean there'd be quite a collection of items that would be otherwise useless unless you had the right 'mon. Pokeomon gotta-collect-em-all-athon!

[Sirus]

Like I said in the X and Y thread: Pokemon are now going freaking Super Saiyan. I dunno about this.

You say that like there isn't that sort of collection already. (All of those plates that only affect Arceus' form)
