Yea... the leak is most likely fake. Either its being missread and its a mega for something different, or its completely fake, the movie came out and there was no mega magearna anywhere.

The chances of magearna getting a mega are about as likely as mega flygon.

@Meowpheel You should work at gamefreak, good sir.

@MegaBeedrill You might want to rephrase that, since Gamefreak likes to focus on giving Mega Evolutions to popular Pokemon, and the fanbase was pretty loud about their discontent with Gamefreak for not adding Mega Flygon. Going by what you said, since Flygon is pretty popular, it'd be just as fairly likely that Magaerna would get a Mega using your little "when pigs fly" adaptation.

@BlatantlyHeroic Exactly. As far as I know, the only reason Flygon hasn't received a mega is just because they couldn't figure out how to upgrade the design, but they really want to do it. Let's hope it receives one in this game, I'm pretty sure the fanbase will go nuts.

They must have misread it, it is actually Mega Meganium

People keep saying the Xbox One doesn't have Backwards Compatibility.
I don't think they know what Backwards Compatibility means...

according to Japanese V Jump magazine, there is a sidequest where you find a load of Pyukumuku on the beach and you are paid to throw them back into the ocean.

Here's the trailer that goes along with that info:

I agree, looks like a fun, quirky sidequest!

More like they added Megas for the already powerful Pokemon to further imbalance the series

Meh, looks like a boring and tedious sidequest. Why do they keep having us do chores in Pokemon games? Are video games not supposed to be fun anymore?

@Bolt_Strike Well, it's more than Pokemon games usually have...

Don't hate me because I'm bnahabulous.

No, it's not. It's a throwaway sidequest that takes all of 2 minutes. Why is Game Freak making such a big deal about this anyway?

It's less of a side quest and more of a (completely optional) daily activity you can (decide to) to for some (completely optional) money.

Which is more than Pokemon games usually have. Seriously, I can't remember the last time I did something in a Pokemon game that wasn't A: walking, B: battling, or C: some tedious minigame mode like Super Training or Pokemon Contests. If there's a few of these side quests actually involving the new pokemon, that'll do wonders to develop Alola as a setting. The best Pokemon game I can imagine is one that has a side quest for each new pokemon it introduces, developing their pokedex lore, but in real time. This is ever-so-slightly closer to that.

I think the most we had before was in Black and White with the family quiz, the sandwich restaurant and the patrat mini game.

So a 2 minute minigame offers more than Contests, Secret Bases, the Battle Frontier, the Pokeathlon, Pokestar Studios, and Join Avenue? LOL okay. I'll take any of those over this any day, at least those are fun and give you more to do.

He's talking about world building, not content in general.

These little menial activities won't replace, say, contests, but they help give the world a bit of personality.

Specially since the pokedex entry for this Pokemon takes the time to say this kind of thing is usual.

I for one am happy for aimless sidequests to pad out the adventure and make it feel like I'm actually living in the Pokemon world. Immersion is key.

@Bolt_Strike Stop being such a drama queen. It's not like sidequests are taking the place of mini game institutions. They're just there to make the game feel more alive and varied (rather than just being gym, story, gym, story, gym, story, etc). Not to mention, it's completely optional. If you're going to complain about something optional, complain about life as well, because there a whole bunch of things you can do that you don't have to do out there too.
