If you could swap out 3 pokémons for 3 of your choice, what would it be?
Absol, Garchomp, and Lucario for Machamp, Snorlax, and Charizard Z
>>58499008Would swap>Chimecho for Milotic>Meowstic for Noivern>Tatsugiri for Hippowdon
Are they seriously going to waste Mega slots giving already popular Pokémon with existing Megas a SECOND Mega? Who asked for that? I mean, Game Freak is so retarded I can see them doing it, but... why?And to answer your question, swap Absol, Garchomp, and Lucario with Serperior, Typhlosion, and Samurott. Typhlosion missing a Mega is hurting my autism.
>>58499008>Crab, Chime, Zeraora OUT>Pangoro, Archaludon, SigilyphIN
>>58499008Absol, Lucario and Garchomp and give it to Galvantula, Hydreygon and Trevenant.
This list is bogus. None of them match with the new Mega Stones in the ME trailer.>>58499025Of course it's fake.
>>58499008Absol, Lucario, & Zeraora for anything else
>>58499034>None of them-ACK!
>>58499025People will be more tempted to buy the DLC if there are Megas of very popular mons, it's as simple as that. At least it isn't Kanto shilling.
>>58499008>Crabominable for Slowking (or any cucked counterpart that's goofy)>Darkrai for Marshadow (Edgy and cute at the same time)>Garchomp for Roserade (Especially if it has a cape)>>58499025>Typhlosion missing a Mega is hurting my autism.And how does Typhlosion having 2 forms instead of 1 not hurt you?
>>58499008Garchomp, Lucario and Magearna for Jynx, Magmortar, and Electivire.
>>58499008Zeraora for bronzong Chimecho for it to evolve first then get a mega laterTatsugiri for Pangoro, give me a real delinquent bear with this one.
>>58499025Your picks are even more ass dude
Garchomp for Tyrantrum, Lucario for Pangoro, and Crabominable for Aurorus.
where is the full list of new pokemon being added? I want to see if I need to get more evolution stones ready
>>58499008>absol for persian>garchomp for a. persian>lucario for perserker
>>58499008Chimecho for ButterfreeLucario for MiloticMagearna for Haxorus
>>58499034>None of them match with the new Mega StonesPeople knew the blue/purple/yellow one was blatantly Crabominable before we even got the datamines confirming the megas.
>>58499120See >>58498219Just four stone evolutions. You can buy all stones in postgame anyway
>>58499186thanksI dont know what evolves how past gen 3 so will just make sure I have 4 of every stone
>>58499008Fuck chimecho, Glimmora and Tatsugiri. Please give them SOMETHING Game Freak. Also bonus, remove the two headed grass thing whose name I can't even remember for Serperior.
>>58499186>no cyndaquil line
>scrap Absol, Garchomp, and Lucario because they don’t need another one>add Ludicolo>add Clawitzer>add Mimikyu
>>58499008There is no guarantee that these will be the DLC Megas. Datamined information is not always accurate.These could be scrapped from base game and not included in the DLC, or could be placeholders altogether.
>>58499008BASED MEOWSTIC
>>58499246Scovillain? Get it? Scorch + villain!
>>58499008For me the important thing is that there is no flygon
>>58499008The three Tatsugiri for Exploud, Tropius and Mismagius.
>>58499722>Scorch + villainI hope your not actually this retarded
>>58499722It's Scoville and Villain.
>>58499775>>58499779Um, I was making a retarded joke... Sorry...
>>58499790I'm just happy that you're not actually retarded anon
>>58499008Scovillain, Darkrai and Meowstic for Clawitzer, Forretress and Turtonator>>58499025This is Garchomp’s first mega, we don’t claim the existing one
>>58499008from left to rightseen the designs. they're shit. better be a third onegaywhygaywhywhygayokcoolwhywhyokcoolwhywhycoolwhygaygaygaygayok
>>58499008Absol, Lucario and Garchpmp for three new charizard megas
>>58499008Absol for ShiftryLucario for ToxcroakGarchomp for Gliscor
>>58499072How is replacing three overly shilled mons who already have megas with three Pokémon who don’t have megas are organic popular and actually need buffs more ass?
>>58499954>>58499019Based ChariLORD
Can someone explain to me Gamefreaks logic? Like why give a shitmom like Chimecho a mega when you have a more popular mons, like say Milotic or Mimikyu sitting there without one? Who the fuck cares about Chimecho?
>>58500398Becuase Megas are based on Pokémon Game Freak values, not what fans want.
>>58499008I bet 50$ the meowstic megas will both look the same like mega pyroar
>>58500398because they want to save some popular mons to shill future gimmicksMimikyu isn’t going to get more popular because it gets a Mega, but Zenith Forms in Gen 10 might be seen more positively if popular mons like Mimikyu get them
>>58499008>Out: Chimecho, Meowstic, Tatsugiri>In: Rampardos, Seismitoad, Tyrantrum
>>58500439>>58499008Maybe Rampardos AND Tyrantrum would be too samey. I'd be fine with Zebstrika or Mudsdale too.
>>58499008Remove Garchomp, Lucario and Absol extra megas. Make Mega Grapploct Mega Obstagoon and Mega Overqwill. Now gen 8 and gen 9 have the same amount of megas, only one behind Alola, way more balanced.
>>58499034You can clearly see Crabs, Garch, Scovi and Glimm color palettes there. Moreover, megastones use the color of the MEGA, not the base form (see Latiosite, Charizardite X, Blazikenite, etc) so even if some color is a little off that only means she mega will have different colors than the normal form
>>58499246I am happy that glimmora and chimecho are getting megas. Please leave them alone.Why don’t you get upset over shit like scovillain and meowstic instead?
>>58499008Glad for Meowstic always loved that mon
>>58499060Point makes no sense when there are plenty of popular mons with no mega.Even if we avoid starters, eevees and legendaries, you Arcanine, Lapras, Ninetales, Flygon, Milotic, Luxray, Zoroark, Volcarona, Aegislash, Noivern, Goodra, Mimikyu, Lycanroc, Dragapult, Tinkaton... to name some of those who ranked very high in popularity polls
>>58499008Chimeco swapped to FlygonLucario swapped to DragapultMeowstic swapped to Milotic
>>58499008glimmora for nidokingzerorara for zarudelucario for charizard z
>>58500529Scovillain is trash to be sure, and Mewostic is great either. But I just don't understand how they pick some of these Pokemon when you have so many others that are OLDER and could use some new stuff. Like, how about give Typhosion or Serperior a mega because as it stands they are the odd children out. How about Hydreigon, Crobat, Luxray, etc. Sometimes it just feels like they are throwing darts at a board. Seriously, like who gives a flying fuck about Mega Audino??
>>58500988isn't great either*
swap them all out for more meganium megas
>>58499060Pokemon fans will eat up any new design as long as it doesn't remind them of the oooh so scary Kanto.
>>58499008>greeta's mon gets a mega formkek
I'd swap out Garchomp, Darkrai and Zeraora for Lanturn, Carnivine, and Breloom.

>>58501533Based
>>58499008Golisopod golurk and a new garchomp are all i wanted lol so im pretty stoked. I like a lot of G pokemon for some reason

>>58499008Remove: Absol, Garchomp, Lucario Replaced with: Kingambit, Yanmega, Drapion.
>>58501752
>>58501673I like seeing more Pokémon get 2 Megas, but I don't like how it's handled. Mega Blank and Mega Z? Unless the Z Mega is part Zygarde, why couldn't they retcon the original Megas to X or Y?
>>58501673people bitched about two mega zards primarily because the line was given preferential treatment over the other members of its trio that it's supposed to be equal to on top of the kanto megas already overshadowing the kalos starters in their own game and the rest of XY spamming disproportionately high amounts of kanto references even when it makes no logical sensegarchomp and lucario weren't designed to be balanced counterparts to anything else, so people are not as inclined to give a shit, especially since lucario is already the mascot of megas (and absol is presumably getting one for being ZA's freebie mega) and garchomp is widely considered to have the worst mega in the entirety of the original batch
We could've gotten some pretty awesome megas and instead we got fucking Chimecho and dupes for existing ones. Mega Porygon-Z would've been fucking awesome.
>>58501776>garchomp and lucario weren't designed to be balanced counterparts to anything else,find a better cope
>>58502095the only thing tying the pseudos together is being three-stagers with a 600 BSTthey're otherwise completely unrelated lines from completely different games that were never designed with the intent of being balanced counterparts to other pseudos, and the closest they ever get to being treated as actual, deliberate counterparts is when they're occasionally slapped into games as version exclusives, and even still they sometimes get paired with non-pseudos insteadthe entire premise of the starter trio was being a group that all counteract eachother, preventing there from a 'correct' choice among the three. constantly elevating one choice over the other two completely undermines this concept
>>58502126>the only thing tying the pseudos together is being three-stagers with a 600 BSTand the fucking exp rates I guess, but who gives a shit
>>58502126>they're otherwise completely unrelated lines from completely different games that were never designed with the intent of being balanced counterparts to other pseudos,oh....so like charizard then>the entire premise of the starter trio was being a group that all counteract eachother, preventing there from a 'correct' choice among the three. constantly elevating one choice over the other two completely undermines this conceptcharizard having two megas doesn't make it any more a "correct choice" than charizard having two types over blastoise having one type
>>58502133are you illiterate?>oh....so like charizard thenno. charizard is not a pseudo and was designed from the very beginning to directly and explicitly compete as an equal alongside the other kanto starters. tyranitar was not specifically designed to have an advantage or disadvantage against dragonite, it was only intended to fill the same vague niche of a powerful lategame pokemon originating in the new region>charizard having two megas doesn't make it any more a "correct choice" than charizard having two types over blastoise having one typesecondary typings provide actual tradeoffs and do not require any more special effort to implement than simply making them a monotype. giving charizard an entire second mega with its own unique design, typing, and new stat spread that allows it more versatility over the other two starters that did not get anywhere near the same amount of attention is very differentnot going to reply to any further attempts to deny it, because if you still fail to get it even after this post, you're definitely either trolling or outright too braindead to understand what's actually being argued
Anyone not getting rid of the ones that already have a mega just has abysmal taste
>>58502076>Charcadet and Tinkatink lines are the clear fan favorites of Gen 9>bring them back in Z-A's DLC>multiple Gen 9 megas>none of them got oneDid they deliberately avoid them for being too popular or something?I remember seeing people beg for megas to return purely for these guys.

>>58503104KEK
>>58499008Remove Absol, Garchomp, and Lucario. No second chances at Megas.I'll replace one of them with Flygon, and give it the worst humiliation ritual of a mega ever concocted.Stupid design and god-awful stats that make it worse than the already weak Flygon.And because there are no second chances at Megas, like I said before, Flygon fans will be stuck with this terrible Mega forever, with no hope of Flygon ever getting anything better.
>>58499008>Absol/Garchomp/Lucariothese already have mega evos and are pretty good...>Tatsugiriits whole purpose is that it's a gimmickmon with Dondozo why does it need a mega?How the fuck did the ball drop this far? Especially since ZAs mega designs range from Pretty Cool to sewer shit on a stick.
>>58499008Mega Lilligant, Mega Hisuian Lilligant and Mega Lilliegant.
>>58499034Anon, this was data mined. It's sitting in the retail game right now, no leaks involved.
>>58504445So that’s it? Those those are last megas we are ever going to get? Seems lack luster and lame
>>58499008>meowstic isn't going to get two seperate forms judging by pyroarpain. is it physically possible for Mega-gearna to be anything other than broken and overpowered?
>>58504507It's not 100%, but for what it's worth all the pokemon that eventually got added to SV via DLC were similarly datamined ahead of time.
>$30 for ~14 megasThat's pretty shit.
>>58499008>Starraptor gets a mega before TalonflameThat's just mean.
>>58502076I wouldn't even want to use 2/3 of these guys.
Mewtwo's the only one you could even kind of justify two megas for, and even then Mewtwo X sucks.

You'd think they would have learnt to stop leaving data like this in the games when the fucking ORAS demo had full data on ORAS in it and had shit like full trainer lists and megas mined ahead of the game release but they just keep doing it.
>>58504445>>58504659In other words we need to wait for the game to update to find out what those megas actually look like
>>58499008Absol, Garchomp, and Lucario for Persian, Kingdra, and Cacturne

>>58502076I wanted cryogonal. I guess it will get an infinite form later on tho
>>58504923this it's baffling at this point. Almost seems intentionally done. I think they got it right for SV though, didn't know about the other 4 Paradox legends until reveal. .
>>58504659>all the pokemon that eventually got added to SV via DLC were similarly datamined ahead of timeIts safe to say that all the Pokemon that ne usable in ZA ad the ones that will get megas in ZA are now known. But it doesn't make sense for these to be all the megas period. Game Freak is utterly retarded by they know how beloved megas are (even with the much of the recent crop being shit). There could be some released in Champions (though NOT useable in ZA). >>58504923>>58504986i think they are doing in on purpose, they're too lazy to market their games so they have the leakers do it for free. That's the only explanation that makes sense, no other company is this lazy with security.
>>58499008Trade Absol, Garchomp, and Lucario for Slaking, Cresselia, and Volcanion.
>>58504937Yes, right now just the IDs are listed internally with no assets.
>>58505001>But it doesn't make sense for these to be all the megas period.you're the only person who has suggested this would be the casegive it another decade or so and we'll probably see even more new mega evolutions>they're too lazy to market their games so they have the leakers do it for freehave you considered that maybe people don't want to be told to shell out another $30 immediately after paying the $70 admission fee to the base game>no other company is this lazy with security.yes, because no other video game company ever has any kind of information leak from it for any reason
>>58499008Absol, Zeraora & Lucario are GONEClaydol, Castform & Tropius are IN
>>58505034>give it another decade or sThere's no way a Gen 1-6 Pokemon that doesn't get a mega now will get it over 20 years after megas have been introduced. They'll focus will mostly on Gen 10-13 mons, the only megas for old mons will be extra ones for the ultrashillmons like Charizard, Garchomp, etc. >>58505034>no other video game company ever has any kind of information leak from it for any reasonnot to the extent of Game Freak, they're the whores of the videogame industry with how wide they leave their data. Other companies have leaks but not as often as Game Freak and nothing as big as the Tera Leak. Admittedly part of it is how big Pokemon is, but that should drive Game Freak to be extra careful with their data.
>>58499008Should have been Tinkaton
>>5850520775 isn't worthy of a mega
>>58499008Absol, Garchomp, and Lucario get swapped for Turtonator, Slowking, and Gliscor.
>>58503001I would have gone with Mega Porygon-Z being a fully debugged and fixed Porygon-Z. So like Porygon at peek proficiency. The opposite of how most Mega according to SM are the Pokemon screaming in pain, this would be the Pokemon functioning as intended.
>>58505436so porygon-z is just an Unreal 5 NINTENDO! HIRE. THIS. MAN.
>>58499025>waste Mega slotsThat's your problem. There's no such thing as a set number of megas GF is beholden to making. They make however many as they want. They make whichever ones they want. They didn't "sacrifice" other potential megas for these ones, they just made the ones they wanted. Also they're doing it because merchandise is the most profitable part of Pokémon and merch of popular pokemon will sell more.
>>58505175>not to the extent of Game Freak, they're the whores of the videogame industry with how wide they leave their data.even the most severe leaks from game freak have yet to match the scale of the actual biggest leaks in gaming historywhen people cracked the xbox 360 version of street fighter x tekken and found the game's future dlc content all present on the disc and locked only by a paywall that was easily circumvented by hackers, it sparked such a massive wave of outrage that its effects are still felt to this very daythe entire reason most games ship without the dlc content present on the disc/cartridge/launch files/whatever is a consequence of capcom not being careful with their datagranted leaks of internal information such as the teraleak aren't the same as this example but those are hardly unheard of either; valve and nintendo have already had a few of those themselves with much more content than the teraleak or gigaleaks or whatever people call them>inb4 but game freak leaves lists of mega pokemon in the game so it's basically the same thingshow me some footage of people taking mega tatsugiri online and we'll talk

>>58501771>why couldn't they retcon the original Megas to X or Y?Who says they won't?
>>58502387Why would you give megas to pokemon that are already insanely popular and successful designs already bringing in tons of money? Worst case scenario you get backlash for ruining a good design, best case you only gain a small amount of money because anything with their base forms is already selling like crazy. GF is satisfied with both their existing designs and their performance. That's why they're instead giving megas to Pokémon they want to be more popular but aren't, or redoing designs they have ideas for.
>>58504352>its whole purpose is that it's a gimmickmon with Dondozo why does it need a mega?So it can do something after Dozo is kill

The closest reasoning I can think of is that ZA is still a Switch 1 game, and they want to try and be selective about which pokemon to highlight without stepping on the toes of the other 5 games on the console.
