Probably isn't, but honestly why would they take action for it anyway? Sure it's wrong but it's not nessecarly claiming it's their pieces with their own name without nintendo's involvement.
@Porky Which one was first in brawl and smash 4? Lucario, they were never in the same game together and while lucario had a very similar moveset he's not really a clone to something nonexistant in the game. Sure he was in melee but lucario replaced him rather than being a clone in the same game.
In this one however, I fear with as many clones as we already have, and the similarites between the two between the games they were found in, mewtwo will likely just be a buffed up verison of lucario, if not exactly the same simliar to pit and dark pit/mario and dr. mario.
Mega evolution adds alot more versitility to the games IMO.. the pokemon getting the megas are still useless in their base forms and stuck in their lower tiers, but making a mega evolution is almost like making a new pokemon entirely mixing up the strategies and usage. Sure mega skhan was just annoying but we got plenty of new toys to scare that thing now (gallade)
While the stats are scary people tend to forget that they cannot hold an item which nerfs them slightly.
The main issue is the lack of teambuilding.. all teams look similar. Azumaril, landorus, and garchomp are on probably 99% of all competitive teams.. litteraly I seen the same core on showdown in 5 different battles IN A ROW! I recall masuda saying he picks pokemon used alot online to justify whether or not it gets a mega.. I'll be extremely upset to see landorus and azumaril to get a mega when they're just flat out the only things good to run rather than people actually caring about them.
Mega evolution has nothing to do with that, but it does have to do with breaking it since new megas means more threats to break the core and more options in team building. It's just a matter of which pokemon get those megas.. now the obviously broken ones, those are gone to ubers so I could care less if arceus got a mega.. unless there is a "roster limit" type thing where they goal to only make a certain % of mega evolutions. However I'm extremely thrilled to see steelix getting a mega, and I actually called glalie from the start. Not that I care for the pokemon themselve but they're what I'd like to see getting megas over garchomp, dragonite, etc.
Now I just need mega flygon and I'll be happy. Tropius and chimecho would've been good pokemon to give megas as well not that I really care too much for them.
Hopefully the data found in the demos was inaccurate..
wait wait wait.. if the site is down until the 21st.. and you have to be signed up to their newsletter on site by the 20th for the oras demo then.. O.O
Incase nobody noticed it's under "Games & more" if you look at the screenshot. Only thing we're missing from brawl is boss battles but we only have those two.. maybe it will have us fight master hand or crazy hand whenever we want or something like smash run with just bosses and them two at the end.
@Hydrone I'm going by x/y logic. We recieved 30 megas in pokemon x/y (28 not counting the hidden eons)
that being said.. so far we got 16 megas (18 counting the eons..) we could potentially have only 12-14 more megas left in the games.. and audino I'm 100% sure won't be the only unova mega.
Don't get me wrong.. i am THRILLED with mega beedrill, as long as he gets 40+ in speed and 60+ in atk he'll be super amazing, but pigeot I'm not too thrilled about consituring we have another regional bird/s actually in hoenn (who i wouldn't really care much about anyway) that should've recieved it prior to these. Hoenn should be their priority not kanto.. johto, sinnoh, maybe a little unova, and no kalos until the kalos remakes.
and we can assume butterfree is getting a mega as well however that would even work out with a sash reliant quiver dancer.
However you're right we don't know for sure.. they may expand the ammount of megas. All I know is they better no forget that this is the hoenn region and leave out well deserved megas like flygon.
Mega beedrill now.. THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO SEE! Buffing extremely underappreciated pokemon! I've always said to myself.. "I'd want a mega beedrill but it's just one of those lame bug types at the start of the game i doubt they'll go that far." Instead they actually pull it off...
HOWEVER.. I'm disappointed about mega beedrill's appearence right now because we need alot of pokemon in the hoenn region like flygon, tropius, etc to get some love... I love this thing but it just wasn't a smart move in the long run.. (I doubt after oras we'll be getting hoenn megas in other games like z/xy2)
Also the sad thing is the fact no matter what boost the mega evolution gives.. he will still have 70 or something base speed the turn he megas, be frail, and probably end up dead switching into something. Doesn't have priority.
252+ Atk Technician Mega Scizor Bullet Punch vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Beedrill: 241-285 (88.9 - 105.1%) — 31.3% chance to OHKO Mega pigeot: I was never a fan of giving regional birds megas either and pigeot of all them definitly wasn't a smart move when we have hoenn birds. No guard is very useless.. I know people are mentioning hurricane but it's too reliant on hax to get the confusion as flying/normal isn't the best offensive coverage. If it got gale wings, different story.
Mega lati@s: Not much for me to say consituring I have these already in x/y. It was only a matter of time before revealed.
All their designs are really cool! Love beedrill's! (Kinda looks like escavalier IMO) and while I don't really care for pigeot itself.. it's mega is cool looking too I guess. Mega lati@s I always like just was hoping they'd recolor them at the very least.
I hope they give us a mega ariados just to give the guy some love as well.. not in oras though. I just want to see mega flygon at this point and i'll be happy.. but they need to focus on things like chimecho, tropius, flygon, walrein, wailord, glalie, etc etc..
What a crime shame.. basicly we're just buying an adapter for 1 game and 1 game only.. when we already have another verison that doesn't need anything at all (and we all own it!)
Smash bros. are not going to do much for the wii u as hoped for it seems. I'll just be happy with my 3ds verison which won't need an adapter to play. Smash bros. was always better played with the NGC controller due to better grip and control layouts.
I think dark pit only needs classic mode beaten three times and you can unlock duck hunt by beating classic mode at any difficultly 8 times, and beat classic 10 times for Game & Watch.
Dr. mario is also unlocked by beating classic mode with mario. Ganondorf is unlocked by beating classic mode as link.
Not exactly, rayquaza has four of those horn like things around his neck. The bottom two form the shape of the delta symbol Δ, which seems appropriate seeing his ability is delta stream and alpha/omega is the games' names. (Also lower case delta 𝛿 resembles the streamers or whatever those transperant orange things are) They're not mandibles like giratina-O. Infact they appear motionless.
It's design is so freaking awesome! I was always against giving already good pokemon like legendaries mega evolutions (or even primals) from the start, but this one just looks so amazing..
As long as flygon is given a mega I'll be happy. I'm very reliefed that primal kyorge/groudon will be less abused thanks to this. Doesn't appear to be much stronger than regular rayquaza with life orb, just gotta worry about that bulk..
Gamecube was HANDS.. DOWN.. the best system ever! Don't know what it was, maybe the games were just more interesting or fun or something.. but to this day alot of use find ourselves popping NGC disc in our wiis or old gamecubes. If I remember correctly.. I reach over 600 days on pikmin 2 on one save.. and made quite a few replays on the others. Metroid prime 1 and 2 were awesome games that current metroid games can't seem to live up to. Ty the tasmanian tiger was a very underapreciated EA game for the NGC (and the other consoles I think) that was surprisingly addicting too.
Oh.. and how could I forget my very first pokemon game colloseum? AWESOME.
Actually sharpedo seems like it's going to be broken..I mean c'mon.. Speed boost prior to mega, and it has destiny bond taking out anything it's guarenteed not to OHKO. Sword's dance is also an option. However four moveslot syndrome is a problem.. aqua jet isn't strong enough as it's a weak move and it's not strong jaw boosted.. however mach punch will murder you otherwise. Power vs. survival and this is were it may be terrible..
@BlatantlyHeroic Same playstyle, I like it, (I still use aegislash so no smogon perspective here fyi) but like I said.. even if using gallade, what is the unpredictability difference between him and medicham? Sub-dance maybe? Could work (does he get focus punch?) but like I was pointing out they're very identical. If one has a different niche compared to the other like setup then perhaps it's just as good or better than medicham.. then medicham has competition trying to make sets to outclass gallade... this is why one of the two needed a type change or something so they can't be compared.
I can see gallade pairing well with heatran and galvantula.. galvantula can put up sticky web so after an SD=GG. Heatran is strickly for talonflame and stealth rocks. Galvantula can also deal with skarm and mandibuzz. Gallade has ice punch for everything else (gliscor specifically.)
Basicly..
Medicham vs. gallade=Sheer power vs. Setup+versitility.
I personally prefer clawitzer over blastoise since a mega slot isn't taken up. I even run sludge bomb on mine to surprise and lure azumaril.
That's not the problem.. the problem is, is it fast enough? Is it still too frail? Does it have high base power moves? Is it strong enough to compete with choice band/life orb? Well.. 100 base speed is something you'd want to scarf so not that impressive.. improvement definitly as seen with mega garde but not enough. Volcarona and slower things get away with it because they have a boosting move or have priority/are tanky. If gallade got huge power or even pure power I can see it abusing SD+shadow sneak but other than that, fake out, drain punch, mega medicham brings more to the table.. if I'm going to run a team of 1 mega and build around it.. (head smash aggron paired with it for talonflames?) wouldn't I want that mega to be my best choice? Or is it going to be outclassed by something else with the same niche only stronger in general.. and that exactly describes gallade vs. medicham..
Medicham has fake out to break sashes. Gallade doesn't.
Same speed tier.
Gallade could have 165 base power in attack, medicham has 200.
Gallade has shadow sneak for metagross and gengar, medicham has bullet punch for fairies.
Almost identical movepools with gallade having wider coverage.
Same typing and weaknesses.
They each have their similarities and that's what worries me..
I'm almost 100% sure that's be gallade's stat spread.. it wouldn't seem logical to reverse the pokemon's stats nonmega with gardevoir and not to when mega. The only way gallade can say it's different would be a new ability for it.. and that we have no clue yet. Either way just speculation.
Not really sure what to think of this.. well mega gallade is awesome, that needed a buff for sure. Needless to say, sharpedo and camerupt too needed megas.. my concern was how could they make them any different than now?
Maybe strong jaw is good with sharpedo.. it only needs a single speed boost nonmega. However they might require protect wasting a moveslot.
Camerupt.. probably mega ampharos v.2 with worser typing and only running (for sheer force) fire blast, flamethrower, earth power, and that's it. Going to be tricky to use reguardless, atleast not any better than specs eruption trick room+sun teams..
Gallade definitly needed a mega, but sorry fans who begged for it.. it's still terrible because it's gallade's typing thats bad.. turning resistances into neutral hits and weak to two different, very common prioity. Unless it gets 130 speed (which is all it needs) and has a couple sword dance's with shadow sneak.. I can't see it being that useful.. lucario could atleast live a brave bird.
I'm pretty sure it's going to get the same boost as gardevoir when mega.. just special/physical reversed.
Atk: 165 +40
Def: 135 +20
SpD: 65 +0
SpA: 85 +20
Spe: 100 +20
Adverage at best.. doesn't give me a reason to use over lopunny or some other physical attacker mega with similar speed.
I love how people are raging at nintendo when nintendo, gamefreak, and the pokemon company are entirely different companies.. nintendo gets what they get, and gamefreak develops the games for the pokemon company.
I personally am sticking with my wii u and that's it. Xbox 360 doesn't feel old yet and everything I seen on xbox one that the 360 doesn't have isn't a huge turn on.. the price isn't up my ally either for a system that's not too much different from it's previous model.. 343 also is screwing up the halo fanchise.. halo reach's matchmaking was tampered with, halo 4 was a trainwreck, and halo 5 more than likely won't be different. Halo sequel and to catch up with friends would've been the only reason I'd actually get it.. but only like 5 of my full friends list actually own an xbox one and not looking forward for another trainwreck either.
I just don't play sony games that much and when I do the majority of them are just third party games for fillers since the sports/racing games aren't my thing either.
As if slowbro is switching in on any of that. Slowbro is going to switch in on something easy and setup calm mind, or trick room then calm mind. M-venasaur might be the only true counter with sleep powder and resisting scald.. but psyshock and psychic are still possible. Even chesnaught, the only other viable grass type currently, can be destroyed by it's secondary STAB.
No bug type wants to take a psyshock either after a calm mind under trick room.. and the only ghost I ever see are chandelure who's weak to water, gengar who's weak to psychic, and the rare trevenant that still fears possible ice beam lurk sets.
Charizard Y may do a hurtin with solar beam.. but it isn't stab and psyshock will still hurt alot.
Electric types.. meh they're all frail too like bug types and can't do nothing under trick room/can't OHKO after a calm mind.
@Mega719 I don't think that's the issue.. battle revolution connected with the handheld systems which kinda improved sales a little bit inorder to get more pokemon on the game and such.
I just think they're put in a bad position with what they did with x/y.. I mean picture it..
Picture aegislash in battle revolution.. and picture mega evolution. It just would seem odd..
In battle revolution they reused the same models from pokemon stadium even, then from the NGC games, on the Wii U there is no way reusing all the models from past gens, on an HD console, with more well developed gen 6 pokemon, would look good at all. The 3ds systems get away with it because of how fast everything is. Aegislash, if he was stancing changing in battle revolution it'd take him 5 whole seconds or more as everything was very calm and laid back animation wise.
There's just too much involvement they might as well make a pokemon Z instead.

It could likely be the same here.. the megas are there just their models won't be shown in x/y or their stones traded.

That's not the problem.. the problem is, is it fast enough? Is it still too frail? Does it have high base power moves? Is it strong enough to compete with choice band/life orb? Well.. 100 base speed is something you'd want to scarf so not that impressive.. improvement definitly as seen with mega garde but not enough. Volcarona and slower things get away with it because they have a boosting move or have priority/are tanky. If gallade got huge power or even pure power I can see it abusing SD+shadow sneak but other than that, fake out, drain punch, mega medicham brings more to the table.. if I'm going to run a team of 1 mega and build around it.. (head smash aggron paired with it for talonflames?) wouldn't I want that mega to be my best choice? Or is it going to be outclassed by something else with the same niche only stronger in general.. and that exactly describes gallade vs. medicham..
Medicham has fake out to break sashes. Gallade doesn't.
Same speed tier.
Gallade could have 165 base power in attack, medicham has 200.
Gallade has shadow sneak for metagross and gengar, medicham has bullet punch for fairies.
Almost identical movepools with gallade having wider coverage.
Same typing and weaknesses.
They each have their similarities and that's what worries me..
I'm almost 100% sure that's be gallade's stat spread.. it wouldn't seem logical to reverse the pokemon's stats nonmega with gardevoir and not to when mega. The only way gallade can say it's different would be a new ability for it.. and that we have no clue yet. Either way just speculation.
Re: Mega Camerupt, Mega Gallade, and Mega Sharpedo Revealed for Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire
repeating what I said in the ORAS thread
Not really sure what to think of this.. well mega gallade is awesome, that needed a buff for sure. Needless to say, sharpedo and camerupt too needed megas.. my concern was how could they make them any different than now?
Maybe strong jaw is good with sharpedo.. it only needs a single speed boost nonmega. However they might require protect wasting a moveslot.
Camerupt.. probably mega ampharos v.2 with worser typing and only running (for sheer force) fire blast, flamethrower, earth power, and that's it. Going to be tricky to use reguardless, atleast not any better than specs eruption trick room+sun teams..
Gallade definitly needed a mega, but sorry fans who begged for it.. it's still terrible because it's gallade's typing thats bad.. turning resistances into neutral hits and weak to two different, very common prioity. Unless it gets 130 speed (which is all it needs) and has a couple sword dance's with shadow sneak.. I can't see it being that useful.. lucario could atleast live a brave bird.
I'm pretty sure it's going to get the same boost as gardevoir when mega.. just special/physical reversed.
Atk: 165 +40
Def: 135 +20
SpD: 65 +0
SpA: 85 +20
Spe: 100 +20
Adverage at best.. doesn't give me a reason to use over lopunny or some other physical attacker mega with similar speed.
Re: Shiny Gengar and Diancie Pokémon Distributions on the Way
Wait.. so if you get the event diancie.. you get the diancite upon transfering it?
OR...
You have two seperate events.. the diancite is obtained via event reguardless of if you have it or not?
OR.....
Diancite is randomly found in the game itself without an event or anything special?
I hope it's not two seperate events.. in two seperate games... and limited distribution time.. in different countries..

Re: That Shocking Pokémon Announcement Was Arcade Fighter Pokkén Tournament
I love how people are raging at nintendo when nintendo, gamefreak, and the pokemon company are entirely different companies.. nintendo gets what they get, and gamefreak develops the games for the pokemon company.
Re: That Shocking Pokémon Announcement Was Arcade Fighter Pokkén Tournament
@DarkKirby Hopefully it gets quiver dance
gallade will probably be in it
Re: Talking Point: The Wii U May be Best as One of Two Consoles, Just Like Wii
I personally am sticking with my wii u and that's it. Xbox 360 doesn't feel old yet and everything I seen on xbox one that the 360 doesn't have isn't a huge turn on.. the price isn't up my ally either for a system that's not too much different from it's previous model.. 343 also is screwing up the halo fanchise.. halo reach's matchmaking was tampered with, halo 4 was a trainwreck, and halo 5 more than likely won't be different. Halo sequel and to catch up with friends would've been the only reason I'd actually get it.. but only like 5 of my full friends list actually own an xbox one and not looking forward for another trainwreck either.
I just don't play sony games that much and when I do the majority of them are just third party games for fillers since the sports/racing games aren't my thing either.

Re: Video: Mega Slowbro Spins its Stuff in New Trailer
@SmashMaster Especially consituring you don't have to mega evolve immidiantly causing some mindgames.
Re: Video: Mega Slowbro Spins its Stuff in New Trailer
@Yorumi
As if slowbro is switching in on any of that. Slowbro is going to switch in on something easy and setup calm mind, or trick room then calm mind. M-venasaur might be the only true counter with sleep powder and resisting scald.. but psyshock and psychic are still possible. Even chesnaught, the only other viable grass type currently, can be destroyed by it's secondary STAB.
No bug type wants to take a psyshock either after a calm mind under trick room.. and the only ghost I ever see are chandelure who's weak to water, gengar who's weak to psychic, and the rare trevenant that still fears possible ice beam lurk sets.
Charizard Y may do a hurtin with solar beam.. but it isn't stab and psyshock will still hurt alot.
Electric types.. meh they're all frail too like bug types and can't do nothing under trick room/can't OHKO after a calm mind.
Re: Expect a 'Shocking' New Pokémon Project on 26th August
@Mega719 I don't think that's the issue.. battle revolution connected with the handheld systems which kinda improved sales a little bit inorder to get more pokemon on the game and such.
I just think they're put in a bad position with what they did with x/y.. I mean picture it..
Picture aegislash in battle revolution.. and picture mega evolution. It just would seem odd..
In battle revolution they reused the same models from pokemon stadium even, then from the NGC games, on the Wii U there is no way reusing all the models from past gens, on an HD console, with more well developed gen 6 pokemon, would look good at all. The 3ds systems get away with it because of how fast everything is. Aegislash, if he was stancing changing in battle revolution it'd take him 5 whole seconds or more as everything was very calm and laid back animation wise.
There's just too much involvement they might as well make a pokemon Z instead.
