I actually wish they'd just not revealed any past the first four or so. It'd have made the whole thing a lot less disappointing. Its better to hit us with a bunch of new discoveries in-game to distract us then mull over and be bored by them by the time the game gets released with no new stuff. I really loved discovering Mega Gengar, Alakazam, Manetric, etc in X and Y.

I must concur on both accounts. Discovering them in-game was more exciting, and if real evolutions are indeed a thing of the past, then giving them to more deserving 'mons than the already overused and overpowered ones should be how they go. I'll probably end up training a Beedrill for example, even though I never had aspirations to before, just because now it might find a use.

I agree, I loved discovering new megas and finding the stones. It's at least a plus their actually giving megas to the Pokemon who need a buff this time around.

Beedrill didn't need a buff. They already explained that it was a weak Pokemon on purpose.
Beedrill doesn't need a buff, it needs a miracle, and a hundred point boost isn't enough to salvage it.

It's design is a step in the right direction~

I've seen mega Beedrill on Pokémon showdown, it can kill almost anything. Protect to let it get its buffs, U-Turn and Poison Jab for its STAB moves, and Drill Run as its coverage move. If you don't take it out quick, it has the potential to sweep your whole team.

Purposely weak or not, I welcome it xD

As I've said before, I've already reserved a spot on my team for Mega Beedrill on sheer design alone.
I was never holding my breath that it was of use. I guess it made sure to prove me wrong.

What do you guys think of this song? I hardly recognized it as a Pokemon song at first. It screams Professor Layton to me actually.

In fact i might use it in a custom stage to try and make something Laytonesque.

Finally got the first secret mission in the demo after so long!

Someone is leaking the game. Reddit mods keep deleting his posts because they think he is trolling.
