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.

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?

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!

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

Well they also buff the move types as well like soft sand, etc.

MAWILE SORTA-EVOLUTION FUCK YES.

*ahem*

That... looks a lot like some fanart I've seen, just without the addition of pink-ness. So that's cool.

Also, yeah, they're really shaking up the meta. I mean, that's a GOOD thing, it's been the same for two or three releases now right?

Ampharos getting hair is a little weird. Otherwise, nah, it's not too over-the-top.

It's like Lv.X from the card games, methinks.

No, the meta has been pretty different since they added dream world abilities and so on. (Counting unova as one release and d/p/p as third, with hg/ss being in the middle)

It reminds me of Delta Pokemon a bit, which were Pokemon in the CCG that had different types (so, for instance, a Water-type Bellossom).  I'm rather ambivalent about it; it seems like it would be rather easy to make it rather gimmicky, but if done well, it should give a boost to several Pokemon that, while fun, were rather underperforming compared to later generations (Mawile, Ampharos, and Absol).  Plus, it sounds rather fun to play with in-game, which is the real litmus test for me. 

Of course, it also confirms the rumours of a boost to Mawile, which is probably my favorite part of this.  Well, that and the announced Torchic event, which if I recall properly, will be the first legal release of a starter with a Dream World ability. 

EDIT: Well, I was completely wrong about that.  There have been Global Link events for the Kanto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh starters.

Mega Ampharos has the most gorgeous, beautiful flowing locks ever. I must have one.

It's weird, though. Blaziken, Lucario, and Absol are all huge fan favorites, which makes sense, but Mawile is pretty niche and Ampharos is kind of mostly forgotten.

Mega forms seem like the sort of over-the-top stuff they'd use to push cool Pokemon to the next level, while I'd just expect a regular additional evolution for something like Mawile. I guess Ampharos can't be helped if they're not willing to put proper 4th stage evolutions in yet.

[Aklyon]

Lucario looks the best there.

[Tsuchigumo550]

I think Amphy has a fan following in Japan, and I personally LOVE the Mawile (one of my favorites- I don't like a lot of the no-evo pokemon barring Mawile and Smeargle.

[Mr Space Cat]

Lucario looks the best there.

Those are some majestically flowing dreadlocks.

[RedWarrior0]

Wait wait wait wait wait. wait. wait.


Wait.

All of them look more or less the same except with MAGNIFICENT HAIR!

They really are going super saiyan

Come on Farfetched!  That poor bastard needs some love Game Freak!

Pokemon is finally entering the over-the-top era of cheesiness?
But holy cow, an evolving legendary. That's new. (as well as four-line families ie. Mega Blaziken and Mega Ampharos)

Now watch a wave of mega-eeveelution fanart. You heard it here first.
(and mega evolutions in general)

I wonder if all Pokemon are going to get those megaevos, but I doubt that they'd go that far.
Also, are the mega-evo names "Mega [INSERT JAPANESE NAME]" or brand new names? I can't read in Japanese, you know.
Alright, I got it.

The concept is interesting, and it's definitely something new. And it's good to see more evos (even if conditional and probably not permament) of old Pokemon (which is what kinda made Gen V a big "meh" to me. Until B2/W2 it felt like a complete restart, which I'm not particularly fond of)

Megamantine.

new vid confirms it happens in battle, and using something called a "mega stone"
