I was looking at the text in the chinese leak and noticed the word "mega" followed by the chinese character for rocks or stones.
can someone please translate the text in the red box?
Has this been discussed yet?
can someone translate?
is there a full translation from the chinese leak somewhere?
oh god
I was hoping we could have a mega-kanghaskan free generation
please god no
>>28042708
Kangaskhan is already part of the alolan dex and megas aren't going anywhere. Mega mom is forever
Mega Fug + z moves confirmed then?
>>28042745
Please at least I hope they nerf that shit somehow
It's referring to the Z ring stones and comparing them to mega stones.
>>28042358
My chinese is kinda bad but if 'im reading it right, mega stones will become key items, so a pokemon won't need to hold a mega stone to mega evolve anymore
>>28042903
thank you kind anon
so if it is comparing it to mega stones, perhaps it means they're still in the game?
I guess if mega-stones were really removed, they would have mentioned it as of now
Doesn't the bracelet toy have an indent on the back for a megastone?
I remember people talking about it but I couldn't find a proper picture.

>>I guess if mega-stones were really removed, they would have mentioned it as of now
Yeah, just like theBattle Frontier on ORAS
>>28043013
it's obvious megas are going to be back in; dumping 30+ formes they JUST made would be a fucking massive waste.
the real question is whether or not there will be new ones.

>Megastone no longer taking slot
>Mega kanghaskan holding z stone
Please stop anon
>>28043083
Megas are supposed to be key features for gen VI, and most of the kiddies that play this game like megas, why remove them? You can't just remove them one generation after.
Battle frontier wasnt appealing for the great majority that was casuals anyway, but not having frontier sucks, we got the shit masion and i hate it.
Mega Kang will live forever.

GameFreak at least seems to be aware she's being a problem. I remember reading an interview where Masuda said they feel Mega Mom and Garchomp ara being used too much.
>>28043404
Hopes are high for new megas that can indeed counter Mega Mom then?Mega Dad
>>28043472
That's why they made M-Gallade wasn't it?
He's pretty much a wrap for GF's "fixing" mega-mom.
Megas aren't being removed. At the very least, the Mega Evolutions we can use now are still going to be accessible, and there may not be new ones.
Masuda confirmed back in April when he was on Pokenchi that Mega Evolution would be returning in Sun/Moon. That much is confirmed.
Not making new Mega Evolutions, though, is ridiculous. I'm aware it's a possibility, but GameFreak would be really stupid not to make new Mega Evolutions. When he was on Pokenchi, Masuda was asked about Mega Evolutions for Greninja and Weavile, to which he just shrugged. Not only that, but Masuda was mauled by angry fans after the release of ORAS, upset that there wasn't a Mega Flygon.
They are aware the fandom wants more, and they shouldn't ignore that.
>>28043404
That's what Dazzling is for.
>>28043556
I really dont think pokemon with Megas from gen 1 will get alolan forms, not that it's impossible, but I highly doubt.
While Dazzling looks like a nice ability, if Bruxish doesnt have a good stat spread its going to be useless. Plus, who else can have that ability? It would be nice if more than one pokemon could have it.
>>28042358
what if z moves have priority, fighting zmove would make megamom useless
>>28043712
Dazzling would be great on a defensive mega like maybe Milotic.
I, too, fear Bruxish will be shite. Yeah it "blocks" priority but most priority users will have ways to fuck it over. Talonflame has U-Turn (with great base speed), Scizor has Bug Bite (probably a KO if Brux can't burn with Scald), Kanga will prob KO with 1.5× Double-Edge, M-Pinsir's Return or rare STAB X-Scissor will prob net a kill. Only Lopunny and Medicham may have issues with this thing.
It needs monstrous defences to survive these mons, we talking Alomomola tier.
>>28043832
From what we saw on the gamescom footage, it might be hard to tell if priority on z moves is confirmed considering pikachu is surely faster than the starters, but for a move with high base and no recoil or charge power that can only be used once and type is restricted to types on moveset plus taking item slot, it is sorta fair
>>28043556
>Masuda confirmed back in April when he was on Pokenchi that Mega Evolution would be returning in Sun/Moon. That much is confirmed.
I feel like this should have been a bit more widespread.Please do give my aibo Greninja a mega though. Please Gamefreak.
>people actually believe they took megas out
>>28044037
It got overshadowed by the fact that we all expected real gameplay at that time, but were just shown the reveal trailer again, and the entire community was salty about it.
>>28044109
Especially with alolan forms having focus.
What we should be concerned about is new megas
>>28044156
I'm sure we'll get like the Johto starters and Johto box mascots and that's it.
>>28042708
didn't we already have five of those?
The reason they introduced the alternate universes with and without mega forms was so they could drop them in the next game. Get fucked, everyone.
>>28042358
Retards who honestly think megastones aren't going to be in Sun/Moon are as retarded as the people who thought Fairy was a fake type and Hawlucha was a fake pokemon.
>>28043348
Kek, if the check doesn't come in the form of a new Pokemon, it'll be a move. I wouldn't worry about it, even if they don't nerf it.
>>28044398
The only news this gen that really matters to me is Mega Typhlosion.
>>28045099
This should have the Johto pandering game dammit.
Where are my Johto Alola formes?
>>28045009
Nah, this is worse. Gamefreak isn't going to get rid of Pokemon that already exist, megas or otherwise. Features come and go between gens, but this is about as stupid as it gets. It's on par with thinking gen 7 is going to remove a currently existing pokemon from the games.
>>28045128
No shit. Kanto got their turn in XY, holy shit, move on. Pander to me for once, fucknuggets. I need that Mega Noctowl, too.
>>28045403
>Kanto gets Alola forms
>Johto gets most of the new megas
I can dream right?
>>28045339
I don't think it's that stupid. Gamefreak has made some questionable choices between games and I do think it's odd we haven't seen anything about them. Still Masuda already confirmed that they're returning.
