    I never understood the "Ampharos is totally like a dragon!!!" thing. Its a damn sheep thats been sheared ...shorn? Is that the right word?
    Ampharos definitely doesn't look like a dragon, that I will agree with, but I definitely am not hating that type being added.

    I hummed the digimon theme to myself when watching that for a few times I'll admit.

    Haha, definitely. I thought of Digivolution as soon as I saw Mega evolution.

    Sad thing is, while Pokemon has some better games than Digimon, Digimon had a phenomenally better anime. And it's always had a better anime. I even liked it more as a little kid, and I was completely obsessed with Pokemon. (Well...still am.)

    Also, I like how the Digimon games handle evolutions more than Pokemon. Multiple paths, different mechanics for evolution, devolution at will. Also, devolution increases all stats once evolved again. I remember having a DORUmon that I devolved so often, he could oneshot most of everything in his rookie stage. Digimon World Dusk/Dawn has more replay value for me than let's say D/P/P. (It had a LONG DIFFICULT STORY MODE. x.x; But at least the story mode was a bit simpler than that final boss in the first Digimon World DS game.)

    However, I don't think I'd take Dusk/Dawn over Black/White/BW2 now.

    Also doesn't that imply that they would have to give every single fully evolved pokemon a mega form. Also this does nothing to help close the gap for some of the weaker/useless pokemon.
    The classic God of Pokemon has always been one of the most fearsome combatants of Ubers, but BW has given Mewtwo a gift so great that even Arceus is jealous: Psystrike. This move strikes fear into old nemeses Blissey, Ho-Oh, and Kyogre, as it makes Mewtwo a fearsome mixed attacker with almost none of the previous downsides! Like many other Uber Pokemon, Mewtwo has the stats and movepool to do virtually anything it wants. With viable sets that range from a fearsome sweeper to a frustrating staller, its versatility ensures that there is absolutely nothing that can counter it. However, while it is by no means frail, Mewtwo is not the bulkiest Pokemon around, and with its susceptibility to entry hazards and priority attacks, its longevity is an issue in the hard hitting Uber metagame. Like other Pokemon with huge movepools, it is a pity that Mewtwo can only use four of them at the same time. These problems highlight its greatest flaw of all: Mewtwo is unable to run everything at once. You have to choose between bulk and power, and Mewtwo's typing is rather poor defensively. BW2 also introduced Genesect, which made Mewtwo a lot easier to check for offensive teams. It is otherwise perfect, as its flaws end here. Dr. Fuji's dream was to create the world's most powerful Pokemon, and he most definitely succeeded.
    BECAUSE LET'S MAKE IT EVEN BETTER, RIGHT? Mewtwo is underpowered QQ!
    Yeah, agreed completely. I wish they'd spend more time on making actually underpowered pokemon better, instead of continuing to improve uber tier pokemon. I wish Absol's megaevo was actually an evo. It doesn't even have an evolutionary line. There'd be no harm in it.

    Not to mention that out of all starters they give the most overpowered one a Mega Evolution. Should have given it to Meganium or Emboar. But hey, whatever sells of course.

    And am I relieved to see that the trailers says that its only usable during battle, I would have hated it so much if it was permanent.

    That evolution looks amazing, but I was kinda hoping it wouldn't be the same colour for each type.

    I guess they'll give megas for every starter, would be weird if not.
    I can totally see charizard becoming Fire/Dragon with levitate.

    Extremely likely but I highly doubt it for some reason.

    I don't know what to expect and what not to expect, honestly.

    This is madness.

    In the video it said blazikenknight held item is a megastone not available through other means.

    Meaning I think mega blaziken is just a promotional thing. I don't think any other starters are going to have one.

    I wonder what a Mega Evolution Blastoise would look like?



    Except, a tortoise.
