Re: Mega Evolution Discussion
I'd be pissed too if I got an ability and the only thing its useful on is Water Pulse....and even if it doubles its power the only benefit Blastoise gets is a move that's the equivalent of 100% accuracy Hydropump (which it honestly could have gotten pretty close to by using a Wide Lens if we weren't going to give it a useful item) while Charizard gets a useful ability that supercharges its fire moves and reduces its water weakness, and Venusaur gets two of its weaknesses removed.
Really, the way its set up now is even closer to Digivolution. In Digimon, the Digimon need their partners in order to digivolve. Now we know Mega Evolution cannot occur without a resonating bond between Pokemon and partner.
EDIT: So anyone notice we don't know Blastoise' stat changes? Same with Ampharos.
Mega Blastoise must be pissed because his eyes go from brown to red

Or you know, every franchise that has a "Super Mode", and more relevant ones to Japanese game makers would be things like Digimon (Burst Mode) and Dragon Ball Z (Super Saiyan). I'm sure there's many other examples as well.I'm sure Gamefreak got the idea from ben 10: ultimate alien
when ben 10 use the ultimatrix, it evolves any of his aliens forms into more powerful forms (changing size and looks and granting them new powers and new abilities)
this is exactly the same when the Pokemon use the mega stones during battle, changing there appearances, size and granting new powers (like type or abilities)
way a go Gamefreak
