POKEMON GEN 6 ANNOUNCED

[TomGuycott]

It seems like it is more like a battle-only transformation rather than a true evolution. It makes me wonder whether or not it would reverse after the battle. If that was the case, I'd love to see what changes the Mega Evolutions actually make to the Pokemon in terms of their stats, moves and types.

You're giving it way too much credit. When have they ever revealed something that turned out to be completely different from what was revealed, in terms of Function? The C-Gear, for example, when it was introduced along with Gen V's spoilers didn't have any surprises in terms of what was revealed as its function, and what it actually did in game; it was 1 to 1. Same for the Dream World; they said you link up the games to the website, and play mini flash games to get stuff through the Dream Link, and it worked exactly like that; nothing more, nothing less. MegaEvolution is just an alternate Forme showcase, which we've seen before with other Pokemon such as Shaymin's Sky and Land Forms, just with Mega slapped before every Pokemon's name. I fail to see how it'll be any different from what we've been seeing in terms of form changes and battles, EXCEPT using it now prevents the same Pokemon from holding another item.

The thing is that I don't think they HAVE fully explained the ramifications of using the Mega Evolutions. Its also a hell of a lot different than C-Gear, this plays into the actual functionality of the Pokemon themselves.

Lastly, the idea of one item being held over another is something that gives the game depth. Do you want this new item which transforms your pokemon and gives them potential new bonuses? Or would you rather have an item that helps you survive a fatal blow and allow your starter to sweep the rest of the competition's lineup?

All the Mega Evolutions are certainly not something I would have expected or would have said were needed for the franchise, but I can certainly say YOU ARE OVERREACTING. Give it more than two days before you start whining about it for crying out loud.
