The worlds footage of Crabrawler purposely showed it beating

>>27939414

Link to the footage

Yes, because we all know base form Kangaskhan is a top-tier Pokemon.
If anything, this should hint that Megas are returning. They're just holding back on them to blue ball all of you. Perhaps there will be a mechanical overhaul to them.

Megas are cool, but they were a mistake for competitive. I really wish they don't come back and stay as a Gen VI feature.

>Don't you think it's weird that if megas were simply a returning feature
Remember, they had a Mega kick Ash's ass. So of course they'd be in the game.

>>27939414
Thing is, Kanga also gets a boost at its defenses and if they wanted to hype Crabrawler, then it would make sense to keep Kanga in its normal form, to make it look like it took down the most broken competitive pokemon.

All Pokemon that got hit by him are receiving nerfs.

>>27939492
The footage is obviously edited to show him KOing the Pokemon regardless of whether or not he's actually OHKOing them.

>talonflame
>ferrothorn
>lando-t

are they completely aware of the Pokemon they're having based crab knock out? do they acknowledge their strong competitive presence?

>>27939470
>dynamic punch
>close combat
>stone edge
>sucker punch?

Damn, this thing's movepool

What was that against Smeargle? Power-up Punch?

>>27939542
They had a Greninja take a fire-type attack to the face and die while Charizard took a superpowered Water Shuriken and was just fine.

You tell me about if they give a shit about competition.

>>27939552
We saw a Crabhammer too

>>27939459
I actually feel the opposite. I thought they made the plotline dull, but were interesting in competitive, just needed some toning down and really should have only been for the weaker pokemon. It shouldn't have been a selling point, but rather a nice little discovery to get a weak pokemon, find some stone in-game, and realise it has this fucking cool transformation from years of being the underdogs. But instead they just get pushed on you.

>>27939520
Still, if it took down Mega Kang, it would have definetly rais some eyebrows. Everyone else was non-Mega. Something like this OHKO'ing a Mega this powerfull ? Might as well make it knock out Mega Fug.

>>27939470
is that translator Masuda's fuckboy? Damn, he's been seen with him in more than 1 occasion. Hmmm..

>>27939492
It's clearly edited my man, no way this fucker 1HKO a cresselia with a nonstab pursuit.

>>27939628
>people would raise eyebrows
>for a strong STAB fighting attack KOing a Mega Kangaskhan
dude what

I love his idle animation
I'm so glad they have time to put effort into them this gen since they don't have to remake all the rest of the Pokemon

>>27939628
They were showing it take down prominent Pokemon in the VGC meta, that was it.

>>27939475
No, they'll remove megas to have us thinking Ash has a chance. Then at the Alola Conference, the finalist pulls up his sleeve, makes a stupid dance and defeats Ash's last Pokémon with a Z-Move.

>>27939520
They could have just given it a higher level. No stats are shown.

>>27939671
No. It's obvious they're shilling more Megas.

Johto's league had the shilling of Hoenn.

Hoenn's league shilled pokemon accessories

Shinnoh's league shilled Legendaries

Unova's league shilled Friendship-based evolution (evolving to Megas)

So now Kalos' league is shilling Megas.

>>27939574
Can Ashfags keep their ashnime garbage in their fucking general? It seems every thread I go to this shit gets mentioned by some salty ass /padt/shitter.

>>27939454
or they just showed popular VGC pokemons

but mega kangaskhan is not in the game

>>27939574
Anime =/= games

>>27939414
Crabrawler attacked Talonflame before it got a flying type attack out. Does that mean that Talonflame no longer has gale wings?

Obviously not. GF just chose to not use mega kangaskhan for whatever reason.

>>27939724
>shill

stop using that word it gave me cancer

>>27939574
Are you fucking retarded? Water Shuriken has a base power of 25. Assuming that it is "superpowered", even if the strength of it was boosted x3, it still wouldn't be all that powerful.

And Charizard X can easily tank one measly water attack from a naruto rip-off.

>>27939459

It really depends on the Mega.

Shit like psuedos, Gengar, Mewtwo, and the fucking Weather Trio really did NOT need to be even stronger.

But Pokemon like Mawile, Banette, Pidgeot, and Beedrill really needed something badly. Even Kangaskhan, though it really needs to be toned down.

>>27939795
The intention of the video went completely over your head, it also didn't necessarily outspeed anything, it was just a demonstration

>>27939574

>GF makes the anime

lol

>>27939641
Was about to say the same thing, unless it has over 160 Atk, I'm not biting it.

>>27939574
>superpowered Water Shuriken
It was a never-before-seen one. How do you know it didn't suck?

Ga-Olé exists and it has Megas.

>>27940015
It's not a gen 7 game

>>27939459
>Megas are cool, but they were a mistake for competitive.

You're a fucking idiot. You can count the megas that broke competitive on one hand, and they're a drop in the pond of all the overpowered stuff thats come and gone over the years.

Most megas either
>suck (ie Audino)
>don't really improve the base form on a competitive level (ie Tyranitar)
>get it right and give a pokemon a good boost without being stupidly good (ie Beedrill)

>>27940037
It was clearly made to exist beyond gen 6. It only came out in July

After he took like 2 super effective Thunderbolts from Pikachu and like 10 attacks from Greninja. Not even the same guy you were replying to, it was bullshit.

The saddest thing is that that is something I can legitimately see GF doing.

>>27939552
Is the new persuit. Nor sucker punch

>>27939542

The official site shows that a player's team has Kangaskhan and Groudon, but neither of them are in their Mega/Primal form, despite never being used without it... If they're such a major part of the meta, what would GF have to hide? Hm...

Could this mean that Megas are being removed from VGC...? Seems like it...

They should remove all legends and pseudos then.

Tomoko a cute

>>27940039
This.

The only problematic Megas for VGC are M-Sala, and M-Kanga (and I guess the primals and Ray since theyre messing with legends, but thats more due to them being fucking legendaries, not megas or whatever)

For singles, Lucario, Gengar, Kangaskhan, Blaziken, Salamence and Mawile are the only problems.
That's 6/45. Added to that, Mawile's ban was somewhat controversial, and Blaziken's was more or less irrelevant regarding its Mega, its broken alone.

You could argue that the problem ones are the ones that arent broken but still dominating, but welcome to competitive gaming. There will always be pokemon that the meta centers around, and its not even necessarily Megas all the time. This gen actually saw a massive saturation in OU viable pokemon, largely in part due to the presence of Megas. UU is basically just OU#2 as of this generation.

Also considering this was their first try at introducing a new, easily overpowered game mechanic, these results were pretty good.

While we're talking about matchup bullshit, I'd like to turn your attention to this hideous battle background. Looks like we're stuck with this "virtual arena" for the next 3 years. Hooray

>>27939657
He's like a Rocky crab. I love it.

>>27939414
But I'm pretty sure they'd want to hide the return of megas until later if that were the case

The point is why on earth do we not have pictures of joe competing at the event

>>27939414
That's because Mega Kangaskhan would shit on it with Fake Out + Double Edge.

Don't you think Crabrawler would be ko'd if it was hit by Parental Bond Mega Kangaskhan?
