So now that Mega Scizor has been revealed and he is, expectedly, super amazeballz, I think I can make my Mega priority list.

1. Mega Scizor
2. Mega Charizard X/Y (both are cool)
3. Mega Gyarados
4. Mega Aggron


20. Everything else.

 

[Frostinferno]

Mega Scizor looks incredible. Wow.

Is he exclusive to a version?

 

[nintendoman58]

Well you know you have an OP Pokémon when it has freaking chainsaws for hands. Well done Game Freak.

 

[yami4ct]

1. Mega Scizor
2. Mega Pinsir
3. Mega Heracross

The god bug trio has all gotten megas. Awesome. Interested to see if some of the other bugs get a boost. Mega Venamoth, Fortress or Ariados could all be cool.

 

[MechaX]

I'm actually hoping that there are even more Mega forms, notably among the version exclusives.

Like, Mega Starmie would be totally godlike.

 

[Mr. Fix]

Goddamn @ Mega Scizor.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Oh my, a Chainsaw Ninja.

 

[enzo_gt]

What Megas are left off of the rumoured list? Has that been updated with more crossed off yet?

Latios and Latias?

 

[Drago]

...eh. Not really a fan! I like the Monado look it has, though.

Scyther>Scizor>MScizor :V

 

[SovanJedi]

Well three of my favourite Pokemon of all time have Megas, and a fourth (Druddigon) is still rumoured to have one? Unless it was debunked.

Now I just need a Mega Snorlax and my entire pre-Gen VI party will be full of surprises, mwaha.

EDIT: I can't see them as chainsaw hands! They just look like the bottom part of clippers that're all white, with grey shading. I'll be happy to be corrected on the matter though.

Welcome to Ubers, my friend. :3

Idk how the smogon tiers are gonna work since you can only use one Mega per team.

 

[Josephl64]

I'm just gonna have it in Japanese since I need to work on those skills anyway.

日本語をれんしゅうしよう！

I was determined to start the game in Japanese to challenge myself, anyways it should be easy to check if you start a new game without saving

 

[zewone]

Wow. Gameover. Chainsaws.

That's a chainsaw. Those are chainsaws.

His arms look closer to Milton's stapler than a chainsaw.

 

[OcarinaOfDoom]

Charizard, Blastoise, Gengar, Kangaskhan, Pinsir, Jynx, Gyarados, Aerodactyl, Mewtwo, Ampharos, Scizor, Houndoom, Tyranitar, Heracross, Gardevoir, Absol, Medicham, Banette, Latias, Latios, Aggron, Abomasnow

So Mega Jynx soon?

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

His arms look closer to Milton's stapler than a chainsaw.

Your paperwork must be shredded dude.

 

[ec0ec0]

I thought Mega Scizor was Deoxys at first.

first thing that i thought!!

EDIT: always thinking about deoxys

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

So Mega Jynx soon?

Hopefully.
Jynx needs to mega evolve and take some names.

 

[DMG-01]

I really want to see Mega Jynx. I'm starting to lose faith that she's even in the game.

I'm just gonna have it in Japanese since I need to work on those skills anyway.

日本語をれんしゅうしよう！

Yeah, I might as well too. But I would like to avoid doing what I did with gen V. I've played through Black twice in Japanese, White in English once, and Black 2 twice in Japanese. I still have yet to play BW2 in English, and at this rate, I probably never will. As a result, I don't know half of the gen V pogeys' names. And forget about city names.

Edit: Although, thinking on it now, I probably already know all of the English Gen VI Pokémons' names.

 

[Verilligo]

Why look, Mega Scizor. The perfect cure to our new Fairy-type disease: Bullet Punch, applied directly to the forehead.

 

[speedlolita]

I'm about to go and check out the Unknown Dungeon.

Ah it's just Mewtwo.

 

[Galang]

Mega Scizor looks great!

 

[BatDan]

I get the feeling we won't find out if there's Mega Latios and Latias until the PokeTransporter opens. They were in BW2, so it seems odd to include them again here. I'm probably wrong though.

 

[SovanJedi]

I'm about to go and check out the Unknown Dungeon.

Ah it's just Mewtwo.

Three minutes, are you kidding? You beast.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

Ah it's just Mewtwo.

How was the cutscene?

 

[speedlolita]

It's literally just a cave with Mewtwo standing in it. You don't have to navigate through anything.

How was the cutscene?

It was Mewtwo turning around.

 

[Dr. Randy Marsh]

Official Sugimori art for Mega Scizor:

 

[Espada]

Mega Scizor, our Lord and Savior. He has descended from on high to deliver us from the Fairy hordes. Rejoice, for his Bullet Punches will cleanse the land of the pink, puffy menace.

 

[HypnoDarkrai]

It's literally just a cave with Mewtwo standing in it. You don't have to navigate through anything.



It was Mewtwo turning around.

That's it? I was expecting Xerneas cutscene level of awesome. That cry, so beautiful.

 

[SovanJedi]

UK DIGITAL DOWNLOAD POKETRAINERS, the game is now LIVE on eShop! Downloading now. <3 <3

 

[Jinjo]

Wow @ Mega Scizor! Why is Gamefreak making me choose between Mega Charizard X and Mega Scizor in my party? This is a decision no man can make.

 

[Josephl64]

It's literally just a cave with Mewtwo standing in it. You don't have to navigate through anything.



It was Mewtwo turning around.

oh so is it kind of like the Pokemon Origins anime encounter?

 

[Frost_Ace]

Mega Scizor, our Lord and Savior. He has descended from on high to deliver us from the Fairy hordes. Rejoice, for his Bullet Punches will cleanse the land of the pink, puffy menace.

amen

What is interesting is that the Eight Gym Leader mentioned that the Pokémon Village/Refuge Place was a place for mistreated Pokémon and Pokémon that are too strong to cope with trainers to gather.

Has anything been said about the canon of Mewtwo in this game?

 

[DMG-01]

Official Sugimori art for Mega Scizor:

Haha, I couldn't resist.

Yeah names of things are especially tough when you don't know quite enough about the language to get the puns. Things like Charizard, whose name is essentially "EXPLOSION LIZARD" or Blastoise's TURTLE X names are friggin awesome and memorable.
Although I was dissappointed when Hihidaruma (Almost literally flaming Dharma) ended up being Darmanitan. Sad face.

 

[Sats]

Anyone else noticing the strange rate of shiny Pokemon being found?

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

So is it possible we might not see mega Lati@s until after Pokemon bank? I don't see them being catchable in this game.

Not from what I've read of the leaks, I don't have the game.
The latest Pokemon movie did make it clear that there are more than one Mewtwo though.

 

[Berordn]

Anyone else noticing the strange rate of shiny Pokemon being found?

They did say they'd be more common this time around.

They weren't kidding, apparently.

Well that sounds kinda dumb to me.

Mega Scizor

Ability: Technician (moves with a base power of 60 or less raise to 1.5 times)

Anyone else noticing the strange rate of shiny Pokemon being found?

Not sure if this is actually true, in practice.
May well just be that a lot of people are playing the game right now and eager to show off any shinies they do get for a receptive audience.

 

[kirblar]

I could totally see them introducing different versions of "shiny" to expand color palletes/customization.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Anyone else noticing the strange rate of shiny Pokemon being found?

I guess they weren't lying when they said they would be more common. Maybe I'll finally catch one, haha.

I know we're getting a little off topic, but I recently learned Sudowoodo's name and it made me smile. &#12454;&#12477;&#12483;&#12461;&#12540;. (Think &#22040;&#12388;&#12365; + &#26408;.) So good.
