I wonder if *ate is going to become a Mega standard.  Refrigerate Mega Glalie, and another new Mega are both in the demo.

Oh, and if anyone still thought the Reddit leaks were legit or was otherwise holding out hope, the latest from Serebii:

Interview at USGamer confirms that Trainer Customisation is not in this game

A shame, but c'est la vie.

[Eotyrannus]

Holy cheeseballs that mega steelix looks cool and I want to CRUSH MY FOES WITH IT.

[Oneir]

With the crystals and all, it'd be really funny if Mega Steelix were steel/fairy.

It seems strange that they wouldn't just use what was already available in XY. Surely recycling something is better than removing it entirely?

Fortunately, some effort went towards making new megas...

Refrigerate mega Glalie...

Hmm...

Glalie is so weird. Even in random battles he's kinda like... everything. Spikes, explosion, taunt, earthquake, etc.

I guess it's because he's one of those neutral stat pokemon. An ice-stab in return or giga impact would be pretty fearsome. There aren't actually any really scary physical ice moves (and for good reason!) so it'd definitely have an advantage there.

Mega Steelix has sand force by the way. It's a bit nicer than sheer force on him since Steelix likes to run iron head, rock slide, and earthquake. However, unless his base attack increased by about 30% as well, he'd probably do less damage than the typical life orb + sheer force Steelix.

I think I prefer the mega though, since stone edge and gyro ball (30 base speed lol) are way scarier than iron head and rock slide. Not to mention I'm generally not a fan of life orb + sheer force to begin with.

Holy balls, flying around Hoenn looks fantastic.

I actually prefer it this way. It feels less like they're trying to create a new, improved version of the Hoenn games instead of making X&Y, but IN HOENN.

It also lets me laugh at those "predicted ORAS battle simulation" videos on YouTube.

Oh sweet. So you don't actually need to have Latios / Latias in your party if you want to soar in the sky. You can just use the Eon flute and they'll come to you whenever.

Got a bit worried I had to drag them around.

[Sirus]

I'd rather be able to soar about on just about any Fly-capable Pokemon, to be honest :/

[Reudh]

I wonder what they're doing for the braille puzzles. I hope they replace them with something even more obtuse.

Man, I had such a good time with those when I first played the game. Brought my gameboy to the library to use their encylopedia, translated the instructions character by character, had to figure out what they meant, and then execute the instructions. It was a pretty cool thing, slowly revealing this ancient tale of monsters, only to awaken and capture them all around the region.

Maybe this time it'll be a made up character system and you have to do braille quests to find the cipher. 

I remember that. It actually had a foldout inside the game manual that gave you the code, for me.

[Heron TSG]

Ah, I got my copy second hand, so it was just the cartridge for me.

Same, if only to see how they handle things like Pidgey, Mew, or Golurk. ^_^

[Urist Imiknorris]

Or Doduo.

Holy shit, the numbers on those legendaries. Those are definitely some numbers.

And Mega Steelix actually has good Attack. This is a wonderful thing, considering how much I love Steelix.
