Pokémon XY |OT3| How's That? Owned, Suckah!

I'm not sure why they'd buff already strong pokemon, really.

I want a Mega Pidgeot or something instead of a Mega Lucario.

Mega Evolutions are a combination of popularity and Pokemon that need buffs.
Why are rating battles still down? I thought maintenance day was Monday.

EDIT: I was distracted by the Project M stream so I was so late for the post lol.
I just found that. I'm glad they are making significant strides to curb cheating.
Should have been done before. =/

Mawile and Kangaskhan are hardly something I'd call "impossible to deal with." Both are awesome megas. Mewtwo was already created to be ultra powerful so who cares if he gets a buff. You'll never see him anyway. Charizard also needed the buff. The only really top tier Pokemon who got a Mega Evolution were Tyranitar, Scizor and Garchomp who are not very popular Megas because people prefer to use their Mega slot elsewhere.
 
I got three HP Ice Eevees. Anybody want one?

EDIT:
Let me rephrase that. I have 3 31/xx/30/31/31/31 Eevees that happen to have Hidden Power Ice.

Lucario and Gengar are "top tier" pokes with megas as well.

You missed Gengar and Blaziken. Both very good previously; Mega Blaziken takes what's there already and turns it up to eleven, while Mega Gengar becomes a terrifying trapper who can pick off opponents' team members almost at will.

Fake edit: Yeah, and Lucario too.
 
Now that I think aabout it, a Normal / Steel type could be immune to both of Gengar's STABs.

It'd need a way to deal with Focus Blast, though.
 
I wonder what a normal steel type would be.

I would say a piece of ore, but we already have carbink.

I've had an idea for a "bread-and-butter automaton," that is, a Porygon-style artificial Pokemon, but one that's used in such a commonplace fashion that it would become the norm, hence the typing.

It'd be mostly white, but the eyes / head diamond along with the "racing stripes," etc. would be a deep blue. A benevolent company along the lines of Sylph Co. would manufacture them for security purposes. In terms of gameplay, it'd function a bit like Metagross mixed with Snorlax in that it has substantial special defenses and completely abandons any potential notions of speed. I don't know about abilities, but Analytic seems like a good fit - attacks get a Life Orb-level power boost if they move second.

In a metagame format, Assault Vest Valloroy would probably destroy and be a particularly noteworthy Gengar counter, with EV spreads ensuring you could survive at least one max-investment Focus Blast to retaliate with Mirror Coat.

When I saw your illustration I thought you were making a speaker system pokemon, and the evolution system would be from 2.0 to 5.1 surround sound.

Mega would be Dolby atmos.
 
I have never noticed that ribbon going between Sylveon's front legs before.

Sorry for whatever reason you showed up as an acquaintance and I thought you were a rando so I just showed my shiny. My bad. Hope I didn't psych you out.

Yeah. If there was some random just showing off his legendary, I'd flash a shiny too.
 
Fuck came in too late... Got any female 3-4iv eevees that have iv's in at least attack and sp.defense? I need one badly! If you have 3-4iv female with special attack that's fine too.

I have a non-HA one with HP, Defense, Sp. Defense, and Speed. Haven't gotten to breeding HA ones yet.
