I'm going to guess the "special pokemon" is just going to be boring old Mewtwo in his ME form, Mewtwo X

Yeeeeah, if we're going to get more in-battle form changes, let's just add more Mega Evolutions instead of coming up with a new mechanic for it. We really don't need to complicate things with "totally different but not really" features.Any new mechanic prediction in the Gen 8 game? I personally don't want another in-battle only form change mechanic in the Gen 8 games.
That would be great. The problem is, how to implement it?My vote for a new battle mechanic would be something to boost weak pokemon to make them viable in competitive play. Then people could use more of their favorite pokemon competitively. Gotta mow down those pseudo-legendaries with our top percentage rattatas- living the Joey dream.
That doesn’t make any sense. They’ve already said it is an “all-new” Pokémon.
I hope for something completely different from Mega Evolutions entirely, my vote would be for a new battle mechanic would be restoring Fossil Pokemon's original typing they had in ancient times. I know I'm not the only one who wants a Fossil Pokemon without the Rock-typing.Yeeeeah, if we're going to get more in-battle form changes, let's just add more Mega Evolutions instead of coming up with a new mechanic for it.

Would probably just give a boost to stats? I imagine it would only be applicable to one pokemon per battle, much like Mega Evolutions and Z-moves. I guess it'd need something to determine how high of a boost they would get.That would be great. The problem is, how to implement it?
I'd rather see Game Freak improve existing mechanics rather than making entirely new ones. There's only so much Game Freak can really do at this point mechanic-wise, and I really am tired of them abandoning new feature every generation. So, how about instead of a generational gimmick, Game Freak improves upon the like likes of Mega Evolution and Z-Moves instead?
I sadly doubt that will happen though...
After the rather disappointing news streak we've had, I have no hopes for anything amazing.
I would really really like such a mechanic. I think it is long overdue for something like this. There are plenty of first or second stage evolutions that look (much) better than their respective final evolutions, and making them viable would be great. Gabite and Grovyle come to mind, for instance. Also Gastly, Haunter, Dragonair, Pikachu, etc. I could go on... All those Pokémon deserve to be used in battles and to be viable. If not for competitive, I would at least like to use them to challenge Battle Facilities without feeling that I am handicapping myself.My vote for a new battle mechanic would be something to boost weak pokemon to make them viable in competitive play.

The way I envision it, the boost for weaker Pokémon would work via a held item. Basically what the Eviolite is, but boosting ALL stats rather than just two. I think it could function very well and really shake up the formula, as long as they take enough time to balance everything.That would be great. The problem is, how to implement it?
Perhaps sometime close before releaseWhen does everyone think we will see news about this new Pokemon? Surely before LGPE release in November. My guess is next month or at least by September.
Also, was CoroCoro not a thing this month?
