Because there is a chance, let us discuss the state of megas in pokemon sun and moon.
This is all theoretical, there is no proof for any of these, the only thing we can be sure of is mega evolutions will be in pokemon sun and moon.
>inb4 "but anon, there is no proof they will be in sun and moon either"
Reply with the above and you will prove you haven't been here long. Name one evolution that we couldn't get in later versions of the game. Even hard eevee evolutions still are around. So, yes, there will be mega evolutions.
The question becomes how will they will be used or how they will make their presence known. Rate how you feel about each thought. Also comment on if you would cum buckets if each theory were to be true or hate pokemon forever.
1)Megas are what megas have always been in the past 2 games. No true change. The pros are that we already know the method of mega evolution, and picking it up will be easy. The cons, only mega fug will be able to use z-moves, thus making him more broken, if that was even possible.
2) Megas become a permanent evolution once a pokemon is transferred over from a previous game to sun and moon while holding a mega stone. Pros, no more need to mega evolve during battles. Pokemon are already at their peek level. All mega pokemon can use z-moves. Cons are that unless specifically stated, we might be staring down entire teams of mega pokemon. Very scary prospect.
3) Megas mega evolve in line with z-moves, or a pokemon can mega evolve when they are in possession of a z-stone that fits their type. Example being gardevoir mega evolving with a psychic z-stone. Pro to this one is again a mega evolution can access z-moves. Con is z-moves become an extension of the mega evolution mechanism, and not to other pokemon that it could vastly help.

Bank doesn't work that way, idiot.
Also, why the heck would something that is used for a one time move also be used for something that lasts the whole battle?
>>27594913
>They can't change pokemon bank
While this might be a blockage to us now, that doesn't mean it will continue. As this is theoretical speak one must be open minded.
How do you feel about Pokemon games going back to one screen next gen
>>27594746
Positive. More can be focused on 1 screen.
>>27594746
meh
Good. I've always like 1 screen over a 2 screen handheld. Probably won't be able to play DS Pokemon games on it though, and I'm wondering how they'll change the style for Pokemon battles since I doubt they go back to gba format/style.

Wait for SM to release.
Get a Ditto.
Boost its IVs in game using the new mechanic.
Breed like a drunken bunny on prom night.
>>27596576
bro as much as i'd love to do that, i kinda can't. my friend keeps talking shit about my pokemon being scrubs cuz i just got back into it, he doesn't know about ivs and breeding for egg moves and i really want the edge on him so i can make him feel retarded by next week.
I know, I know... it's dumb at this stage to try to deny... this... is real. But I really, really, really want it not to be. I always pick the fire starter, that's what I do. I could stand Emboar being fire-fighting for the third time in a row, and I grew up to like delphox because at least it was useful ingame. But it still was an awful experience for me, as I had to force myself to enjoy the game with it. When Litten was announced, I got happy. I thought I was getting a proper fire starter pokemon at last, after waiting for so long. Needless to say, I am dissapointed. Not only that but I feel betrayed. I have stood up with the franchise ever since I could get my hands on pokemon stuff when I was a kid. And now I feel they are laughing right in my face. It makes me sad that they don't understand how important this is for us. How much we needed something to look forward to in november. Now I have nothing.
I guess we can still hope for that "each starter has 2 final forms" theory, but that's pretty out there.
On the bright side, the images that were realesed were most likey concept art, so it wont look exactly like the original
>>27594646
I'm laughing at you for being this autistic.
I'll probably use Litbro now.

Why is Mega-Charizard Y such a pussy? it couldn't even handle my Bulbasaur. What a Bitch it should be in the PU tier because it is easily countered by a LC pokemon.Mega-Charizard Y = 0/10 would not include on my team. Bulbasaur = OP real Nigga

The trips don't lie
Charizard = pussy
>>27594555
Because you use meme strategies, I've seen LC mons take out entire OU teams with sturdy/sash/endure
>>27595256
Do you have any videos. I would love to see
what would his team be?
5 ledians and a budoof.
5 heroes who's looks disguise their uselessness and one who is terrible all the way around
the 122-127 Squad
Let me explain this
They are six misfits, six weird guys even for Pokémon standard. most of them areantrophomorfic, wich, at least on the first generation, was not the usual thing. Both bug guys don´t share most of the bug type characteristics, like having long and fast evolutionary trees or needing cocoon forms. Even thought, four of them had a baby form in second gen, an aspect Game Freak only put in fan-favourites and flaghsip pokemons like Pikachu, Jigglypuff or Poliwirl. The other guy, Scyther, instead of this had an evolution nobody asked for (wich also turned him a second weird type, wich feels less natural than onix-steelix.
So, in a way, this six guys has always been the less pokemonesque fuckers Pokemon has ever had.
Mr. Mime is the most Joker-esque Pokemon. It also may pass as another clown, Captain crazyfuck Boomerang.
Scyther is an efficent and silent Killer, it doubles for both Katana and Deadshot
Jynx is the crazy bitch, more like Enchantress, but she really gives also a Harley vibe
Ellectabuzz is a cocky bastard who knows he can fuck with anyone. It serves as a Deadshot but also has that Boomer feeling
Magmar is the calm fire guy. Diablo
Pinsir is a feral meat clever. it count as Killer Croc. He also looks as annoyed by rest of the team as Flagg
128 is Tauros. but the team is complete. Sorry, Slipknot
Trainer is Waller
Mega Kangaskhan
Ghost types with Curse
Pls GF it's been more than 20 years
>>27594477
Elgyem already exist

Deoxys is literally alien
First thing is first, I am a former Ingress player. Second thing is that I used to play Ingress. I still do, but I used to too.
This Pokémon Go craze has made me realize a few things and perhaps I can use my Ingress knowledge to help you guys understand Niantic (the company behind Ingress; Pokémon Go; Ingress).
Now before I use that knowledge to help you, first you must understand how I got that knowledge.
I am a former Ingress player. Therefore I know a lot about Ingress as a former Ingress player. Pokémon Go uses a lot of Ingress's technology. A term former ingress players use to describe this technology is Ingress Technology.
Ingress came out in 2013 and Pokémon Go was released this year. Since Ingress' release I have become a former Ingress player. It is important to know this because that way you can understand two things.
1.I was a former Ingress player
2.I am a former Ingress player
3.Ingress
I hope this helps you guys further understand things about Pokémon Go and me, a former ingress player.

Was Team Rocket wrong for cutting their tails? It's established in the videogames that pokemon are eaten by people and other pokemon. Slowpoke tails grow back fast, are nutritious, and don't require killing off the pokemon. Also though this may be more headcannon, I'm assuming there is little to no pain involved, as slowpoke use their tails regularly for bait, and according to some sources could go a full day without realizing it has been bitten.
>>27593971
What if a Shellder bit too hard and the tail came off, would it still evolve?
They still did it against the slowpokes' will
>>27593971
Yeah but those slowpokes are now unable to hunt, unless team rocket feeds them while the tail grows back?
