Mega Evolution preview screen indicates that Mega Lati@s will be revealed officially soon.

Can anybody make out that Pokemon under Treecko and Mudkip? It's too small to recognize the silhouette.

Mega Evolution preview screen indicates that Mega Drifblim and a few other Pokemon will happen.

Drifblim? I'm pretty sure that you're mistaking Bagon for Drifloon.

Can anybody make out that Pokemon under Treecko and Mudkip? It's too small to recognize the silhouette.

It's probably Torchic given the placement, but it's too small. I am more interested in the one between Slowpoke and Bagon, which I suspect is Oddish.

 

[Zeb]

Looks like Audino not Oddish.

I'm almost sure I got a glance from Audino silhouette there.

 

[Ampharos King]

My mistake. Sorry.

 

[Oshakpop]

Yeah, included is Sableye, Slowpoke, Latios or Latias, Ralts, Rayquaza, Mudkip, Torchic, Treecko, Groudon, Kyogre, Bagon and Audino.

 

[Talon87]

Going clockwise (numbers indicated above), they appear to me to be ...

1. Ralts
2. Rayquaza
3. Kangaskhan
4. Beldum
5. Drifloon
6. can't make it out
7. Slowpoke
8. Sableye
9. Latias or else Latios
10. Mudkip
11. Treecko
12. Kyogre
13. can't make it out; the logic of its placement suggests Torchic, but given its tiny size and barely apparent body shape it, it might be Castform

For the record, my money on No.13 would be Torchic. It would be pretty weird of them to provide two-thirds of the trio but not the final third, and given that triangular group placement in the center of the screen, it just makes too much sense. But who knows! The frame is tiny and lo-res enough that it's not possible for me to claim with utmost confidence that it is Torchic.

Drifblim? I'm pretty sure that you're mistaking Bagon for Drifloon.

You might have paused on a bad frame. Try pausing again, or use my screencap for reference. It appears to almost certainly be a Drifloon. You can make out the tuft of cloud on the top of its head as well as the telltale balloon strings with the heart-shaped caps on the ends. If it is a Bagon (with his rocky head and the "strings" being border lines of his legs), it's an uncanny coincidence.

13 is Torchic, 3 is Groudon, 5 is Bagon and 6 is Audino. If you watch them in motion, you can tell it's them.

 

[Talon87]

Every one of those makes sense given what we know about TPC's relationship with ShoPro. Such a list would cover most of the mega and primal forms unveiled in 2014, completes the legendary trio, and doesn't introduce anything that isn't already common knowledge. Still, I must say that the Bagon looks remarkably like a Drifloon, motion or not.

 

[Silktree]

Bagon's nose is pretty perceptible in motion (the head isn't perfectly round, unlike Drifloon's), but I wouldn't go around saying that 6 is definitively anything.

 

[Zeb]

6 is definitely Audino. You can see its legs and its ears.

 

[DarkTouya]

Maybe we'll get Mega Lati@s in this Sunday's Get TV episode.

 

[DasManiac]

7 is not Slowpoke. That silhouette looks nothing like Spowpoke at all.

 

[Team Gaara]

7 is not Slowpoke. That silhouette looks nothing like Spowpoke at all.

How is it not Slowpoke? It is. Look at the tail above his head.

Just a question. According to Black Butterfree, Pokemon XY explain what Mega Evolution and Mega Stones are, so how come isn't that information detailed in the articles? Also there's no article on the ultimate weapon.

Probably cause Hoenn seems to get its own explanation for Mega Evolution

My guess is (and that's just my thoughts) that the battle between Groudon/Kyogre or otherwise Rayquaza's involvement caused the creation of Mega Stones, as Mega Stones were created in Kallos after the blast from the Ultimate Weapon (I haven't played XY however, so tell me if I'm wrong) and that energy created them. And as Groudon/Kyogre have been linked to energy as well already (well their Primal Forms)

So yeah, anyway, seems like Hoenn gets its own origin story for Mega's

Sycamore said that its Xerneas and Yveltal that created the mega stone by irradiated stones with their energies, so it's not the Ultimate Weapon. With these theories of Sycamore, I'm saying too that it would be Primal-Kyogre and Primal-Groudon which propagated their primal form energies all over Hoenn.

More specifically, he says:

My theory is that they're special stones irradiated by the light--the energy of the Legendary Pokemon Yveltal/Xerneas--fired from the ultimate weapon 3,000 years ago

So yeah, it's the energy of Yveltal and Xerneas that gave you the ability to find the stones. Nothing about Mega Evolution, or how the stones are created, or they're connection. Just that the stones can be found because of the energy of Xerneas and Yveltal. That leaves me to presume that it's actually Groudon/Kyogre/Rayquaza that makes Mega Evolution possible and/or created the stones somehow.

 

[Silktree]

I'm confused as to how you reached that conclusion. Let's look at the full quote:

Let's talk about Mega Stones briefly.
My theory is that they're special stones irradiated by the light--the energy of the Legendary Pokémon Yveltal/Xerneas--fired from the ultimate weapon 3,000 years ago. And that's what I think they are. It's even possible that stones like Fire Stones were what turned into these Mega Stones.

He clearly says that he thinks Xerneas/Yveltal's energy (which was fired from the ultimate weapon) turned some special stones (possibly regular evolutionary stones) into Mega Stones. That's an origin theory if I ever saw one.

It's possible that the Weather trio or just Rayquaza are alleged to have created the Mega Stones in Hoenn. But Kalos has its own lore.

One way or another, I think it should be better detailed in the articles
