I mean, there's not much that's mechanically special about mega evolutions. For most purposes they're just regular Pokemon with high base stats, so they'd probably be treated as such.

Legends Z-A has had me thinking more about megas, and I've come to a surprising conclusion: I don't think I like them. Not the designs themselves, I think those are fantastic, but the impact they have on everything around them. In any game they're in, they basically force every important NPC...

A Gen 3 Electric slate without any actual Electric-types? This is the perfect opportunity to showcase one of my favorite bits of Gen 3 design: Lightning Rod. :marowak::gyarados::steelix::skarmory::golem::gengar: :rs/marowak: Marowak @ Thick Club Ability: Lightning Rod - Earthquake - Rock...

If it's the song I'm thinking of, I think gen 1 used it for the guy who redirects you to Brock.

Increased level cap is not something I would have ever predicted. Also Mega Chimecho let's fucking go

Zekrom absolutely qualifies as a dinosaur

Dude, the title is admittedly not clear that it's a slate competition, and this subforum doesn't usually have that sort of thing. You don't gotta be so rude about it.

Speaking of the cut Weepinbell evolution, was there ever any evidence that its name was originally going to be Bellossom, or is it another Flygon situation of "yeah it sounds like this name was for a different mon at some point but no it really is just a coincidence"

Eh, I think wack coverage moves like Aerial Ace are important. In-game NPCs teams don't exist in a vacuum, so their moves should fill holes not just in their own teams or individual Pokemon, but across every other NPC team as well. To continue using Alola as an example, you can see this with...

It would be so easy to run every new design by a focus group to prematurely weed out unpopular ones, but Game Freak doesn't seem to be interested in that. Every new batch of Pokemon always has a bunch where people just go "what the fuck were they thinking with this one, it's so stupid". And I...

Mega Starmie does seem to draw from Starmie's old Stadium animations.
