Pretty much regular Pokemon turning into legendaries lol(except Mewtwo). They even gave the non evolutionary Pokemon evolutions lol.

I think it's really cool! But the bad thing about this is that everyone would want their faves having their own mega-evolution. I would like to see a MegaAggron!

I dunno why but when they mention mega evolution the first thing went off in my mind was Digimon.

You are definitely not the first one, the pokemon page on Facebook put the info/picture up this morning and practically every comment i read said "i didn't realise Pokemon was becoming Digimon" or something to that effect lol

Its been confirmed that this is a temporary form which has something to do with an item called the "Mega stone".

These changes will only happen during battle apparently. Specifics on how the change occurs though is still a mystery :(

Mega MagicKarp used splash but nothing happened! LoL, I tried so hard to get gyrados. SO HARD

Really? But it's so easy!

Here's a trick to evolving Magickarp into gyrados, first keep training until your starter Pokemon is level 30 or above, then catch a Magikarp if you haven't already done so, afterwards make it so magikarp is first in line for battles then as soon as the battle starts switch magikarp out and put out your high level starter pokemon in, defeat the enemy and then the experience earned will be dished out between both your starter pokemon and magikarp.

This process makes getting a gyrados extremely easy, especially when battling high level pokemon who give out a ton of exp.

Lol, I'll try.. Anyone remember the red gyrados?

Making Pokémon 3D Was A Mistake

Pokémon’s shift to 3D was a big mistake, as the series’ roots in 2D design make it difficult to transfer important game mechanics into a 3D overworld.

why do other games pull off 3D monster collecting JRPG games just fine? Look at Jade Cocoon and Shin Megami Tensei for examples.

Answer should be obvious.

No other videogame franchise is as merchandise driven as Pokémon

Nintendo 3DS Games We Still Love Playing Even Today

BLG writes: "While it didn’t sell as well as the Nintendo DS, the Nintendo 3DS was nonetheless a wonderful system. And, while this may be a hot take, it’s easily my favorite handheld. Even more than a decade removed from launch, the system’s library has so many titles that feel as fresh today as they did back at release. While it was hard to narrow down, these 30 Nintendo 3DS games are emblematic of the system’s success."

When Will The Pokemon Company Introduce a New Typing?

The Pokemon Company has a solid thing going right now. Well, it’s been going on for a while, actually, but it has been a while since a new typing has been introduced to the popular monster-taming series. The latest one, Fairy type, was introduced back in Generation VI (Pokemon X & Y), so it does seem like it is time to bring in a new one. Check out Jason Capp's article for more.
