I am as well. Amphabulous looks awesome, and I like Absol, Lucario and Blaziken's forms as well. Never was a fan of Mawile, but its nice that its getting some new toys.

I'm surprisingly enjoying it more than disliking it. It's a different take on giving attention to Pokémon like Mawile. Did Blaziken need it? No, but as long as it's just an alternate, it's not bad in my book.

By the way...did anyone notice that Mewtwo has a feminine voice in the new trailer? Did he like, change his sex when we weren't looking like a frog?

I'm thinking that they're probably going to do Mega Evos for Heracross, Farfetch'd, Sableye and Dunsparce as well. Those guys, along with Absol and Mawile are the ones everyone's been screaming about for years to get some sort of evolution or boost. Possibly give one to Charizard and Gyarados as well, to finally give them Dragon-typing.

And if you think about it, we do have precedence for this sort of thing; with Meloetta's Aria Forme and Relic Song.

@Kaorin: In regards to the new Mewtwo, the best theory I've seen is that there's actually two of them in the world now. The one that identifies as Male from the First Movie, and the Female one from the latest movie that actually managed to escape and who was reported as "dead" to Team Rocket in order to cover it up; seeing as their backstories don't match up at all. The male Mewtwo is still out there being a hermit.

You say 'alternate', I say 'gimmicky'. On Mawile and Absol specifically, why not just give them actual evolutions?

I'm not sure how I feel about this mega stuff(It makes me think of digimon), but I will wait and see how they execute it to make my final decision.


.....Though I am loving that Mawile, Ampharos, and Absol got a boost. >.>

Yeah, it is gimmicky. Not gonna deny that, but a lot of what The Pokémon Company does is.

I'd prefer for Pokémon like Absol and Mawile to just get an evolution but I'm not gonna complain about them getting attention in a forme of sorts.

And as for a reason for not getting an evolution, I'm guessing their goal was to give them something different than an evolution, for whatever reason.

@Lockdown:

That's...actually not bad. I'd buy that.

Seeing as the theme for Gen VI seems to be DNA and the ways in which Pokemon evolve, I'm guessing they wanted to make new gmmicky evolution-like mechanics for that purpose. Who knows, maybe this'll actually turn into something pretty neat?
