Will Mega Evolution make a return?

[IncineROAR]

I think they will in some way tie the Alola formes in with Mega Evolution.

I sure hope so.

I really hope that we׳ll get Alola forme Pokémon with their own variants of Mega Evolution.

I would certain like to see more mega evolutions. Will the Alola variant pokemon have mega evolutions? Perhaps because they are not forms at all. They are variations of pokemon that adaptability to the climate of the region. So I don't see any reason for Alola variant pokemon to not have mega evolution.

If Game Freak were to give us new Mega Evolutions in Sun and Moon, I can see that happening. Here are two scenarios for this:

In the first scenario, imagine that we get 20 new Mega Stones for 10 species. One of the Mega Stones would be for the original version, while the Alola variety would get their own Mega Stone.

In the second scenario, we get 10 Mega Stones, one for each species. Each species-specific Mega Stone gives different Mega Evolutions to different variations of the same species, with one Mega Evolution per variation.

I think we will get megas in main game but around 6 or 8 gym not 4 like in XY.
They could give us one mega as a hint to make fandom chill a littlebit before the game is realeased.
If we got starters from a nother generation last time then now Johto needs redemption and a solid mega buff. grass/rock, fire/steel and water/dragon that would be something.
(this dual types can counter poion, flying and dragon moves of generation 1 starters megas)
+ we dont know if Venusaur or Blastoise will get their secondary extra megas now to have a proper rivalry with Charizard X and Y.

In the run-up to X/Y, it was the September 2013 (released in August) CoroCoro that revealed Mega Evolution. Maybe they'll want a similar timing this time and we'll see whatever they have in store regarding megas this month?

I'm not sure this is the case, considering Mega Evolution is already a known mechanic and all...

We should get used to the new forms (and brand new species for that matter) before they're given Mega Evolutions. There is no haste to do everything at once (that is, in the same games).

Some of you are so pushy.

Spoiler

If the leaks are true then we could well see Alolan Mega Alakazam.

Everything needs time I would rather want they focus on re-buffing old moves like Teleport, abilities, megas and other things then overcomplicating things to fast. But I don't say that it's not the right direction, nice ideas, but re-name that Sandshrew , Sandslash to Snowshrew and Snowslash as fast as posibble.(becuse it's not logical and bad for children to think about sand and snow that way)

 

[juliorain]

I'm just wondering how if they do bring back mega evolution with the new Z-forms. Surely one couldn't use both in a battle, like OP overkill. The Z-crystal things and mega stones should fit on the same bracelet.

Also using them would be incridbly tricky: If you predict your opponent is going to use a Z power dragon and you switch in a fairy, whelp, too bad for you, I guess.

Pokemon Sun and Moon are going to be freaking huge, and they already have a ton of new things coming to them. I honestly can not see these games adding a ton of new megas to go with that. But I also don't see them completely getting rid of this feature either. I think Megas will be post game, and maybe we'll see a few old Pokemon get megas, I don't they're be a lot of new Megas either. Maybe your given one as a little endgame gift, or maybe you go back to Kalos and receive on their. Any way you get it, I don't think you'll end up getting it till after you finish the game. I think we'll see the Johto starters get megas, and maybe a couple others as well.

I guess they could limit it by forcing you either pick between Mega Evolving for that battle or using a Z move.

At the very least they should do that for Rayquaza, because that thing shouldn't be allowed to both evolve and use a Z-move.

 

[Muur]

Of course, they're not going to take out the feature after only bringing it in last gen. It could just be stuck to post game though.

 

[DoctorWhy]

In the second scenario, we get 10 Mega Stones, one for each species. Each species-specific Mega Stone gives different Mega Evolutions to different variations of the same species, with one Mega Evolution per variation.

I would definitely go this route. Mega Stones are cluttered enough as it is XD

 

[Peachy]

So far it looks like they're avoiding giving Alolan forms to Pokémon that have megas. This can't be a coincidence. I don't think we're getting many, if any, new megas. But they're going to stay in the game. After three years of constant marketing and with them being such a big deal in the anime recently I can't seem them being thrown aside.

 

[Kallyle]

Okay seeing as how all of the Alolan form Pokémon shown thus far are all Gen I Pokémon, I can say the following with confidence: Alolan Forms will focus on Gen I, while Pokémon from Gen II and up may get Megas if we are to get any new ones. But hey, that's just a theory...

Though the new Dragonite and Zubat tease makes me wonder. (see Gen VII confirmed thread current discussion)
