So I just realized.
Marshadow's Z-Move is called Soul-Stealing 7 Star Strike, right?
Does that mean if i catch Marshadow, I can fittingly name it Whitesnake? Because if so, I'm going to be very happy.

So today is election day, and everything outside is covered in a white, smokey haze. Why? Because some punks in a neighboring county decided to start a forest fire. We're gonna have to deal with this for a couple of days. It sucks.

Since Exeggutor is part dragon now that means I can make anything part dragon in my Pokemon game.

Even a horse based off one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse.

Also a couple more unfortunate descriptions for you guys.

Kangaskhan(Mega): Thanks to Mega Evolution, its child grows. But as the child is good only at fighting and nothing else, its mother feels uneasy about its future.

Glalie(Mega): The excess energy from Mega Evolution spilled over from its mouth, breaking its jaw. It spews endless blizzards.

Slowbro(Mega): All the energy from Mega Evolution poured into the Shellder on its tail, leaving Slowpoke to be swallowed whole.

Gyarados(Mega): Mega Evolution also affects its brain, leaving no other function except its destructive instinct to burn everything to cinders.

Ah. . .if they did these for all of them, I'm sure those will be "fun," too.

The Pokédex descriptions just keep getting weirder every game

Umbreon: With its black fur, it blends into the darkness. It bides its time, and when prey appears, this Pokémon goes for its throat, and then eats it.

Cubone: When it thinks of its deceased mother, it weeps loudly. Mandibuzz that hear its cries will attack it from the air.

Palossand: Buried beneath the castle are masses of dried-up bones from those whose vitality it has drained.

Bewear: This Pokémon has the habit of hugging its companions. Many Trainers have left this world after their spines were squashed by its hug.

Metapod: Its shell is filled with its soft innards. It doesn’t move much because of the risk it might carelessly spill its innards out.

Drifloon: If for some reason its body bursts, its soul spills out with a screaming sound.

Turtonator: It gushes fire and poisonous gases from its nostrils. Its dung is an explosive substance and can be put to various uses.

Salazzle: For some reason, only females have been found. It creates a reverse harem of male Salandit that it lives with.

Primeape: It has been known to become so angry that it dies as a result. Its face looks peaceful in death, however.

Megas didn't have description before.
Actually, they meant the description in the other list I posted.

There's one description each in Sun/Moon that describe the same thing two different ways.

Ok no.

This is not ok

That first one doesn't even sound real. This is not ok. I am uncomfortable with how horrible mega evolution is. Jesus Team Plasma was right why was this allowed to happen :(

That first one....
So when we are Mega-Evolving Kangaskhan, are we unintentionally turning the child into a literal fighting machine, possibly even a psychopath(or whatever word I'm looking for) that only cares about fighting? :sadeyes:

So this is more of a theory then anything, but remember that your Dex is basically a Pokémon this time- being Rotom, so what if it was Rotom who was the one that's typing this stuff up?

What if humans didn't realize how bad Mega Evolutions actually were, as well as a few select Pokémon, but Rotom knew and was simply trying to tell the protagonist the truth in an attempt to stop Mega Evolving and spread awareness?

That'd actually be really ****ing cool if that were the case.

Two of my favorite Pokemon that are in the regional dex aren't quite that bad, but they still get in on the "fun," too.

Lucario: They can detect the species of a living being— and its emotions—from over half a mile away. They control auras and hunt their prey in packs.

Glaceon: It freezes its fur into icicles, spiky and sharp, and tackles its prey.

That's not counting the "fun" that comes from Mega Evos, of course.

Ok no.

This is not ok

Well think about where Mega Evolutions come from. The Ultimate Weapon vaporized countless Pokemon and turned them into Mega Stones.

. . .Think about what the Underworld Army was doing with souls and how everyone hated them for it no matter what they felt about anything else. There's some lines that are kind of a bad idea to cross.

Thank goodness Mega Evolutions are temporary, at least. Who knows what would happen if Pokemon would have to live like that for an extended period of time.

Even then, I think it just re-informs me that something will go horribly wrong with Ampharos, Gardevoir, Gallade, Audino and Lopunny. And once again, I am terrified on what Mega Banette's(the doll that was abandoned by a child and seeks said child) entries will be like.

Mega Evolution took a dark turn.

Again, its probably why only notable trainers can use Mega Evolvution.

It's not something your average trainer (or Pokemon) can control. It takes incredible strength of will and an unbreakable bond to not lose yourself.

It puts Lysandre, Maxie and Archie a whole new light. Maybe they aren't so bad after all. Maybe their Pokemon believe in their cause just as strongly.

This development also gives us a whole new perspective on Korrina's Lucario in the anime. Mega Evolution turned it wild until it could control it. Now we know why.

But I remember reading somewhere about mega evolution breaking Glalie's jaw.
Might have been on one of the Official sites, considering there were some tidbits about the Mega Evolutions, like Mega Gengar's 3rd eye seeing into other dimensions and Mega Mawile being able to control each head independently.

The other possibility could be that the Pokemon are willing to go with them to the end, even if what they think their Trainer is doing is wrong and whatnot. Much like Karna with Duryodhana, where despite the latter being a real ****, the 2 actually have a real friendship with each other.

A Pokemon reflects the morality of their Trainer, or at least that's what Johto and the early anime seemed to say.

As long as the bond between Trainer and Pokemon is pure, it doesn't matter the actual morality of the person involved, the Pokemon will just start to act like them. One can have a Pet the Dog moment and still be bad. . .That said, while it's been a couple of years I feel like I remember Archie and Maxie showing remorse for their actions, so they're probably just fine deep down inside. Lysandre was a bit crazier, but he still felt bad about his idea of killing all Pokemon so they wouldn't be abused or. . .whatever he was doing even as he was too far gone to not do it. Shed a tear and crud.

I'm thinking about what would happen if Ghetsis tried to use Mega Evolution though and I probably shouldn't be. Anything HE touched would likely be uncontrollable. . .assuming he wouldn't wire some machinery up to control their overpowered bodies like puppets while their minds continued to spiral into insanity.
