Spoiler:

Also Butterfree, Cryogal, Flygon and Driftblm confirmed.

Also Levitators in Sky Battles.

Makes me wonder if everything will have X and Y versions...

And here in Exhibit A, we have the Fairy counter

Now all it needs is to get Poison Jab.

Yaaaaay! Seven-year-old commandercool would be so proud. 21-year-old commandercool is slightly concerned because that is an amazing typing and Charizard is NU right now. At least this will make it vulnerable to Toxic Spikes, unless its ability is Levitate. And unless this one gets Drought as well the other one will be the one that matters.

So how do you guys think mega forms will effect tier positions? Will they be considered separate Pokemon with separate tiers from their normal forms, or will everything that gets a mega form be shifting up to UU-OU? Or will most mega forms not be significant competitively?

Raikaria · « **Reply #665 on:** October 02, 2013, 01:41:02 PM »

Oh yeah that's a point.

It's ability is Tough Claws [Increases the power of contact moves apparently]

It's Fire/Dragon.

Yet the clip showed it in a SKY BATLLE.

I think this confirms that stuff that isn't flying, and doesn't have levitate, but is shown to be able to hover/fly will be Sky-Battle eligible, like Venomoth and Beedrill.

commandercool · « **Reply #666 on:** October 02, 2013, 01:46:27 PM »

I assume anything that can either has or can learn Fly can participate. GooooooooLURK!

Suikama · « **Reply #667 on:** October 02, 2013, 02:05:31 PM »

wait so does he get to be shiny for free in X or did that Charizard just happen to be shiny?

Well, keep in mind that Charizard is part Flying and starts the battle non-Mega, so I guess after Mega evolving it's not just going to fall down to the ground because it's not part Flying anymore.

I'm pretty sure they will, given that MegaCharizardY gets Drought, MegaBlaziken makes Blaziken even more Ubers-only material, and several other Pokemon get very powerful quirks. Y'know, like MegaAbsol getting Magic Mirror.

Suikama · « **Reply #670 on:** October 02, 2013, 02:48:37 PM »

Does Mega evolving take up a turn to activate?

No, it's a max prioity action that dosen't eat up your turn.

Think Rotateing in Rotation Battles.

That charizard isn't shiny, that's just how the X mega charizard looks apparantly.

Because Megastones are held items, and as far as I can tell the X/Y exclusives get unique stones, it's quite possible you could trade for both in the one game, i'd certainly hope that's that case anyway.

Raikaria · « **Reply #673 on:** October 02, 2013, 03:01:15 PM »

Clearly Shiny Charizard Y is Orange/Red.

Also you'll probobly see the tryhards to X cause Drought, and fun people go Y because Dragon/Fire Charizard.

Of course, I'd go Squirtle anyway :3

I don't actually like version-exclusive forms like this though. It's not like version exclusive mons where you can trade to catch em all. If you get X you can NEVER have MegaCharizard Y. I presume.

Yeah, this is vaguely bothersome because I wanted to explore all of these mega evolutions-- but making them absolute exclusives is rather irritating. Especially since I preordered X and wanted what is now Mega Charizard Y :T

Suikama · « **Reply #675 on:** October 02, 2013, 03:11:51 PM »

clearly we are supposed to buy both

MatsuriSakuragi · « **Reply #676 on:** October 02, 2013, 03:13:25 PM »

I guess it's just like old days, where I bought all the versions just so I could play the game again without having to delete my save file. I kinda hoped I wouldn't have to do that again though. :/

Suikama · « **Reply #677 on:** October 02, 2013, 03:16:21 PM »

dont forget to also buy the inevitable third version!

and in BW's case the fourth version too!

Sagus · « **Reply #678 on:** October 02, 2013, 04:46:13 PM »

So. Spritzee's evolution.

"Easier to animate" for 3D models is in the sense that, when characters have similar body type, you can just give them all the same rig, which can them play the same animations you want. But Pokemon have quite large body variation between them. You can't give Magneton's skeleton to Dragonite.

And they still have to model and texture all of them.

I should've said "preferred" rather than "easier". I'm probably taking this out of context (or misheard), but while watching a Skullgirls stream, Mike Z (one of the developers) mentioned that most game developers/producers (this might be directed at just fighting games) prefer 3D models as opposed to 2D animation for mostly non-aesthetic reasons (not to say that some don't prefer 3D models for aesthetics). I probably just assumed the reason was because it was somehow easier/simpler than 2D animation and put my foot in my mouth by saying so, so... my bad. :V

I still want to know what happens if I send out my Trace Gardevoir against a Levitator.

Anyone else find it a bit odd that Red's Charizard can turn into Charizard X in Pokemon Origins? There's a screenshot on Serebii.

So how 'bout them 3rd stage starters? I was team Fennekin, but I started to falter with 2nd stages because of how appealing Froakie's was. Now, with 3rd stages, I have jumped ship and climbed aboard team Froakie because holy shit yes

There's no good pics of Chespin's final evo, but Brawl in the Family totally called Fenniken turning out poorly in the last minute while Froakie turns into some super majestical beast.
