Honestly, I would have rather they pulled a Gen IV and gave evolutions to a previous gen pokemon than the mega evolutions. They're cool and all and I understand that they're just trying to come up with new, interesting mechanics, but it seems kind of a waste of they're not permanent and as previously stated, most aren't all too fantastic looking.

I would have loved to get a Tropius or Torcoal evo but no such luck.

Im loving that mega gengar and its good enough to make up for the as of yet lack of a mega porygon-z.

I think the point of Mega Evolutions is to kill 2 birds with one stone, adding a variable to battles and cutting use of the ridiculous items like the Life Orb and all that.

Is Pokémon Origins worth watching now or later when it gets dubbed?

Now. I have a feeling the dub is going to censor some things.

I have mixed thoughts about the Kalos Pokedex so far.


Most rumors are still leaning heavily on a total of 70 new Pokemon, not counting Megas. Its a lot less than previous generations but nearly everything we have seen looks interesting or at least usable to some degree. I'd rather have a handful of good stuff than a load of junk (Looking at you, Johto).

There's also a good mix of older Pokemon in Kalos, which is definitely a plus. It makes for more interesting teams when you can combine old and new favorites. Although some of the older inclusions baffle me. Why Pidgey and Oddish again of all damn things?!

Didn't Johto have the least amount of new Pokemon added? That record being broken if Kalos really does only have 70 new additions

The handful analogy doesn't quite work when comparing to Johto since Johto only added 100 new Pokemon, only giving them a handful of "Good stuff" as well.
