Mega Evolutions in Alola

[Migit78]

I wouldn't like to see megas removed completely, a post game scenario would be good, and a few new ones to mix up the pool would be nice.

Though I'm loving the Alola formes.

My biggest issue with Megas was how much they influenced the competitive game, literally making 80% of people having the same teams. But in saying that, I'd miss my Mega Lucario and the hilarious Mega Slowbro if they were to scrap it.

I think it will be a post-game thing

If they really did remove megas, then my Kanto Team is completely ruin.

I got a feeling that if theres any more megas they aint gonna reval them just yet. Its far to early befor th launch and for now thy want to roll out the new features the game will have as well as the new pokemon and alola form pokemon.

It just wouldn't make sens whatsoever to remove such a big mechanic to the game with no reason what so ever.

I think they ar gonna wait till all the new pokemon aloa pokemon and features are released and when th full list of in game pokemon does come out we will see a few new and old megas in the list.

So far I think the new aloa forms are pretty good bar one. The Alola Raichu... I mean what the heck is that thing? A powerpuff marshmallow version of one of teh sweetest kick ass electric pokemon? I am very hesitant to even go near that thing or use it in game its just to cute for me on teh cuteness factor. Thank the gods i like to specialise in ghost dark types

"All 47 Mega Stones are accessible on the island districts. There aren't any new Mega Evolutions."

That's only a rumor at the moment. We haven't had any official confirmation about the state of Mega Evolution at this stage, but introducing no new Megas could be possible if they're taking a backseat compared to Alolan Forms.

Especially Rainbow Greninja... >.> I dunno like, I don't have anything against Ash-Greninja itself, but I find the very concept of the whole "Pokemon-fusing" thing to be really odd and slightly tacky...

Pokemon Fusion is pretty big in the Manga. There's been like 50 trainers that have done it.

It doesn't seem like Mega Evolution is really going to be a big "thing" this generation like it was in sixth gen, but I still wouldn't be surprised if there were a few new Mega Evolutions introduced here and there. Maybe a few Pokémon will get it? Or maybe it'll be reserved for legendaries like Tapu Koko or the two mascot legends? I think they'll still be in the game though, because introducing them and taking them out one generation later would kinda stink.

 

[Desert Stream~]

Maybe we'll finally get those gen 6 megas?

 

[Thunderflare]

Why not both?

"This fall, it all comes together in Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon, except we're not gonna include the biggest addition to the series since the conception of the series itself!"
That is legit what I think of every time someone says Mega Evolutions won't be in SM at all.

Understandable, but the games follow their own "universe", so to speak, they don't follow the anime nor do they follow the manga; they're all completely separate entities which is why this kinda annoys me.

Not to mention the manga in question, RéBurst, is separate from the famous "Pokémon Special (Adventures)" manga (which is what most people think of when they hear "Pokémon manga"). And it's a gen 5-only manga, at that...

Just wondering, theres been no actual confirmation of Ash-Greninja in Sun and Moon yet has there? Unless I missed it

Nothing confirmed officially regarding this as of this stage, but there has been a leak floating around that mentions a possibility of Ash Greninja being present in the game.

As long as the game mechanic of Mega Evolution is not removed, I would be fine without having no new Megas for the time being.

We need more Alola Forms, but with other Pokémon from other Generations.

For y'all who're complaining about no Mega Evolutions, do you seriously want to travel the entire region just to find a bunch of random stones just so you can temporarily power up your Pokémon in battle? That's why we don't need more Mega Evolutions. So we won't have to suffer the hassle of trying to find all the stones. Yeah, there's Pokémon Bank, but...

Mega Evolutions make many Pokemon that were previously useless in competitive battles (Mawile, Kangaskan, Pinsir, Beedrill, heck even Charizard) very strong and great Pokemon. So yes, I want Megas. Maybe they can change it to be one stone, but still, I want it back in some shape or form (just nerf MRayquaza and MKangaskan)

 

[PlanetNamek]

I think and hope there will be a few Mega Evolutions. Not too many though, I think If we got around 10, that would be perfect!

Do I seriously want to travel the entire region ...? Yes. That temporary power-up has made some of my favorite Pokémon go from complete competitive jokes to absolute powerhouses--Lopunny, Swampert, Mawile!! And they look awesome, too! And they have the added benefit of looking and feeling like they shouldn't have just been a new Pokémon instead.

So what if you have to find a stone? The Pokémon series naturally encourages exploration anyways with hidden goodies hiding around every corner--and with everyone so excited about Alola in general, why wouldn't you want to explore every inch of the region anyways? Finding the Mega Stones is just an added bonus!

And I'd rather have a stone involved so that they don't become an overpowered mess like Mega Rayquaza............

I think and hope there will be a few Mega Evolutions. Not too many though, I think If we got around 10, that would be perfect!

Depending on the number of Alola forms we get, I also think around 10 new Megas would be perfect!

 

[Hikamaru]

I think, if we're not getting an announcement of any Mega-Evolutions by the time Worlds is over, then it'll probably be safe to assume that we're only either getting a few Megas or none at all between then and when the games release.

I personally think the same, although I'm betting more on no new Megas since it's appearing the mechanic will be taking a backseat this generation. We'll wait and see what gets revealed over the weekend I guess.

Revealing more Mega evolutions would take the Alolan forms out of the spotlight which seem to be the main focus of S/M. It would be wise for them to reveal them just before the release or once all the Alolan forms have been revealed.
