Pokemon X & Y (October 2013 on 3DS) - [Now out! Go out and play it already]

[Marcello]

I don't get it. IS Mega Kangaskhan just the two fighting together?
 

[Soniman]

That's fantastic news, considering the 3DS is still unhackable.

[Scar]

Given that it is a babby Kangaskhan, I hope the second attack isn't as powerful. Say at 50% power of the original hit.

[-Robin-]

Considering that such a boost is the equivalent of a Choice Banded attack with the ability to break through Substitutes AND without the drawback of move-locking, that's still a hell of a buff.

Guys, I just realized. The anime has done a metric ton of foreshadowing.

First, Team Eevee's unevolved member. Suddenly Sylveon.

Cameron's Lucario. Suddenly MegaLucario.

Ash makes Charizard a main part of his team. MegaCharizard foreshadowing?

And Iris has a Dragonite as a main part of her roster... which could also imply a MegaDragonite. That might be reaching, but it's not impossible.

[Candescence]

This one is... Actually pretty cool, if possibly a bit game-breaking. The baby is still adorable, and now it's kicking ass with mommy!

 

I bet the Smogon crowd are having an absolute fit, and it's probably glorious.

Let's play "Take a crack at which Pokemon get Mega forms." Betting on Scyther, Magmortar, Stunfisk, and Onix.

Too easy:

 

 

Wonder Guard MegaSableye. Only Fairy can hit it.

More official artwork, this time of the regional Professor Sycamore and the new Gym Leader Korrina.

As far as balancing goes... I think this is fine, to be honest. I think it's nice that we're going to get some new ubers that aren't legendaries; it'll make uber battling quite a bit more fun, I think.

 

OU will probably be the same as it's always been. No big deal.

 

And yes, we need to do an OU tourney.

[Kuzu]

Can't it be a UU tourney at least. You get tired of seeing Ferrothorn.

[PSI Wind]

And Garchomp.

[Kuzu]

And Garchomp.

 

Ice Shard solves that problem very quickly.

[AxelPrime]

And Garchomp.

And Thundurus.

[Solkia]

I second an UU tournament.

[Sami]

I haven't gotten to use my OU team at all though... :c

 

Darmanitan is the destroyer of worlds.

[buba]

Darmanitan is the destroyer of worlds.

 

Are you sure?

 

[Kuzu]

We'll take a poll

[Soniman]

You damn kids and your metagame lingo, don't understand any of dat shit.

[Solkia]

OU is Overused. The meta game consists of about 30 different pokemon because of this unbalanced shitfest.

 

UU is Underused. aka 95% of the fucking national dex.

 

An OU tournament would be boring.

[Semi-colon e]

Mega Kangaskhan is so simple, yet so effective. It basically just has the baby out with it. I'm glad not all the Mega forms will just be the same thing but with extra bells and whistles (even though Mega Absol is so awesome anyway), but that they're creative with it.

[Kuzu]

If people want to use OU, I say we limit it to 1 or 2.

[Tori Himemiya]

If people want to use OU, I say we limit it to 1 or 2.

OU. Final Destination. Scizor only.

[Chooch]

Mega Lucario? EV training is no longer tedious bullshit?

 

This game sounds godlike.
