Same rumors also state somethin' about Mega Evolutions. Any opinion on this?

Since Newtwo is apparently included in the group, I'm guessing it might be something like a forme change instead of normal evolution (which is strictly one-way). Still waiting for English confirmation though.

That's one way of seeing it, I suppose.

Blaziken also gets a mega evo. Hoenn fire starter Blaziken! I've heard rumors that it's related to equipping certain held items on the Pokemon, and Blaziken is going to be available only as an event during the first 3 months after launch (comparable to Victini and Genesect in G5).

from what the wiki says, it probably is something akin to a form change if only in battles, so it goes.

I highly doubt Absol would get a new evolution. But in my own opinion, stay away from Absol PLEASE! I raise Absol in every game since Gen 3 and I have to stay don't mess with old characters. We've seen some of the old turn new, it's not always the best option.

I totally hear ya. I never liked Scizor or Gliscor, and I don't like the look of Lucario's new evolution (oops, spoiler alert!) either.

However, the August issue of CoroCoro (which hits the streets this Saturday) is promised to have a huge scoop of Pokemon XY news, and images currently circulating around the Internet (reportedly taken directly from said issue) depict new evolutions for Blaziken, Lucario, Absol, Mawile, Ampharos, and positively confirms the "Newtwo" as either an evolution or forme change for ol' Mewtwo.

I wish I was making this up, but I've seen the images and so far they do look official. We'll know for sure when the magazine hits the streets and/or Pokemonxy.com updates with new info.

No hypocrite, there's simply no love to lose between me and Gligar/Gliscor.

the hypocrite thing wasn't even pointed at that.

Mind which comment you're replying to, then?

You're quoting them in reverse order, y'know ;) and it does so happen I picked up on the details during said interval....

er...well...now I look like an idiot.

Gliscor is still awesome, though.

Nice artwork though

You made him kinda look like a cross between Amaterasu and a rock star!

Yes, the Okami style shoulder feathering was deliberate.

Mega absol was boss, Mega lucario was crap... sadly... I was hoping for better, HUGE LET DOWN!

I've kind of warmed up to Mega Lucario's design, but absolutely nothing tops Mega Absol.

Mega Garchomp :> and Mega Houndoom :>
I kinda like them better than Mega Absol

Mega Houndoom is my favourite...

Seen them, not impressed personally. Same for Mega Manectric, Manectric otherwise being a favorite.

Eww Mega Manectric is hideous I like Manectric when I heard there was a mega I was like SWEET, when I saw it I was like 'ew'

I know, right? Maybe this can soothe it over....

Really? They have a fan club XDD lawl
