There's a lot more Pokémon for them to potentially add versus Megas, so it'd make sense either way to start seeing a less Megas from here on. I think it'd be a too unfair for new players if the rest of the Megas are competition-only. They'd have no chance unless they spend to catch up.

Yeah but when I read the annoucement, I thought that everyone will get a Jewel, too bad I guess
No that just means that Milotic will get a Mega soon ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
My score went from 10k to 14k when I used the -1 Complexity. Definitely worth it

Did they add more stages?

Yes, 15 more
I had about the same score and was 18,500th or something.Anyone has an idea of the cut-off score for Mega-Lucarion in Europe? I was at 10.500 and change but I won't be able to check for at least 5 hours
Meh...I had over 11000 points and didn't make the top 20000 in NA (was rank 23183). :-/
Grind grind grind grind.
Awesome, Keldeo gives you 5,000 coins for beating it. Got over 9,000 coins now, maybe I'll gain a few more so I can use my free Distortion Delay, Complexity -1, and then maybe +5 Moves on the last Megas I need to S-rank (Mawile, Ampharos, Glalie, Gengar, & Mewtwo).
That means the difference between ~9500th and ~18500th is only about 2000 points in the EU rankings.
Good to know! Thx for the info.
Sure would be nice, but considering they fixed it for Mew, I have my doubts. I'll probably give it a try as well if I still need to capture Keldeo.

Awesome! Rank 2210.
Time to fail at the new stages, haha.

I thought the bosses always alternated between regulars and megas.

Final rank was #5642, so that's a win for me.
I was able to beat Mega Mawile too now. TBH though, I think I could have did it without the Mega Lucario. I feel like I got more aid from having 4 super effective pokemon on the team than I did from his power.
Anyways, time to enjoy not being blocked.

Used the free disruption delay, +5 turn and mega start for Onix because it sucks. Great ball brought him up to 90%, so I used it thinking I'd it'll save coins in the long term since I won't have to replay the stage. Great ball failed the first time, so now I'm down 5000 coins. It's like Keldeo never happened!
Nope. Always been Megas

If we do continue to get new stages and cover more and more Pokemon, I wonder if the difficulty will continue to increase.
I don't mind roadblocks once in a while but it sounds like this new update has a disproportionate amount, essentially forcing coin spending.

I really didn't have any trouble with him. No items. My team was (Mega) Lucario[5], Sceptile [5], Bronzong[4] and Swampert[3].
I'm at the end of the lower spectrum with 17 hours played so far.
And this is coming from someone who downloaded this on a whim because it was free.
Mega Lucario will be available in this method eventually i bet. But it will be three patches down.
ah, don't quite have Sceptile or Swampert yet. Just caught Sceptile and I have came close a few times with Mega Lucario 6, Bronzong 3, Kyogre 3, Donphan 6, maybe if I replace donphan with Sceptile I'll manage it since his ability seems decent and will help out a lot at the start. Thanks.

Dang, I'm in the "can't beat Onix" camp.
Just tried it (my third time) with Mega Mawile and barely reached the half HP mark.
Maybe I'm just unlucky...

Alrighty, was able to rank high enough to receive the mega stone in my Europe and American games.
Ranked #7,249 in Europe and #13,381 in America. I see lots of new goodies were added today too.

Aaaaaaaand I caught Keldeo on the third successful clear. Whew.
Now to Onix. Still stuck...

Ugh. To hear it gets worse is nasty, but Onix is already something that really shouldn't have been like this, and it scares me a little as to what they're going to do down the line since there's no reasonable and fair way to keep upping the difficulty over the many, many Pokemon left to go. Like, I was assuming we'd get them in chunks of 100-150 every few months with a difficulty curve roughly mirroring the original one. Ugh. The worst part is... in addition to you guys saying Milotic is awful in and of itself, it's also a normal Pokemon instead of a mega, so that means you have to deal with catching it as well. I'm going to be really frustrated with this if they added a new EX stage for S ranking all this as well...
If they waited a few months to add new pokemon people would have saved up hundreds of thousands of coins though and would just breeze through it, so nobody would have a reason to buy jewels.
It makes sense why they did it but that doesn't excuse the huge difficulty curve from the orgiinal 150.

Huh, wow you're right. I have no clue what the heck I was thinking. I guess partway through some areas I felt like I was facing a pokemon equal to difficulty of a boss... or something, lol

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
fml. Ranked 20004 ;.;
Oh man...
I can't even imagine how annoyed I would be if that happened to me.
