I don't really EV/IV train either. I tried so hard to make the perfect Gengar. Hours upon hours wasted for a slightly above average Gengar. Haha.
Honestly it's not even worth it. They are making it easier in Pokemon X/Y for EV and IV though! but you are better off just playing on the sims online on your computer like Pokemon Showdown/ Pokemon Online.eu. If you wanted to check it out I could give you some pointers :D.

that's fine, just don't try to spread misinformation. I don't ev/iv train either btw I play pokemon on the online sims. you should check them out you might like them :D. I'd be happy to help ya out if ya wanted. No EV/IV training just pokemon battling.
I know the basics of pokemon battling, I've been playing them since the originals back in 98, I DO NOT however, as strong as my memory is, take the time to review egg moves or other more obscure things. Not to mention a majority of the pokemon I favour and are very keen on are not avidly brought up on competitive discussions. And do you mean Pokemon-Online? I tried it once, it was fine, but then I experienced the same problems I had with normal Pokemon online games, the same pokemon and the same strategies.

Well you'll be happy to know that Mega-Gengar is a real thing.

My Gengar was always perfect. But I always preferred Gastly and Haunter. And they were always slightly above everything.

Yeah, that was lame. And I want a playable Gengar in Smash.

Now all I need is a Mega-Alakazam. My favorite Pokemon... in order...
1. Gengar
2. Alakazam
3. Jigglypuff
4. Gyarados
5. Golbat
6. Forretress

Wishful thinking is good.
I was fully invested in the wishful thinking crowd drinking the "We're getting Sonic in October" kool - aid, and we got him on the very first day of the month.

So... you're not wrong.

Eh I dont mean like "Basics of Pokemon". I mean more like, Advance techniques. basics of ultra competitive pokemon. I've been playing the game since 98 like you too but when i first discovered competitive pokemon I learned there was a lot I didn't know. I do mean like Pokemon-online btw.

I can touch the Ocean from here.
Would you be opposed to Jigglypuff getting revealed instead?
No, not at all! Haha Its just so hard to pinpoint which Pokemon will be announced!

But I think Jigglypuff might be a secret character again, so she might not be revealed. :)

Honestly we haven't gotten a "newcomer" in a while. I am anticipating one this month. I also think Mewtwo will be given the "newcomer" treatment.

Well, I actually edited to say that I know about a majority of it, but I just don't tend to review more obscure things like egg groups and egg moves as I'm not super-keen on breeding, not to mention the Pokemon I like and favor are not brought up in competitive discussions because they're either banned (Namely only mewtwo) or are not very high/well-regarded in competitive play, namely pokemon like Weavile, Lopunny, Zoroark, Houndoom, Some of the Eeveelutions (Although my favorite Eeveelution is considered pretty good in competitive play), and a few grass types that run away in fear from the Bug/Steel obsession.

Still no mega metagross...
Wait until Pokemon Z. :p

I wasn't even aware people were still rooting for Plusle and Minun. O_o
I actually think Plusle & Minun would be a great addition. Normally I'd say a good replacement for jiggs, but nobody can replace my jiggs. They'd also represent team battles in Pokemon and please the people who wanted a Gen 3 Pokemon so badly. Sometimes I wonder if they really were meant to replace Pichu, I mean in a way having them as a newcomer in Brawl makes a lot of sense. I just don't believe it because there would be 6 Pokemon Representatives. Unless Sakurai was gonna replace Jiggs from the beginning and changed his mind, but I don't think that's what really happened. So many Pokemon that should be in, but just can't fit int the tight space.....like Genesect.

Plusle & Minun as DLC would be great though. Maybe they could be DLC over Pichu.

I prefer Pichu XD
Sakurai said that the Ice Climbers are a problem for the 3DS,so,I don't think that he will make 2 double characters.

This is my bet as well. If not, Pokemon Trainer is my next bet.

Also, I am certain Mewtwo will not be revealed nonchalantly. He is going to get a trailer, if he's not a secret unlockable character. But I think all newcomers will get a "video" in the game? He will get one too. I'm am sure of it.
I would also place my bets on those two, Mewtwo you already explained and Jigglypuff I feel can wait a bit longer.

Now all I need is a Mega-Alakazam. My favorite Pokemon... in order...
1. Gengar
2. Alakazam
3. Jigglypuff
4. Gyarados
5. Golbat
6. Forretress
Gyarados also got a Mega.

I came to post in this thread and then read the starter evolutions had been leaked...which led me to more PokeLeaks...and more...until I totally forgot about posting in this thread. 6 hours later...

I'm really liking the final evolution of that Barnacle Rock/Water type.

And I'm fully expecting a Pokemon related reveal next week; possibly Thursday or Friday. Anything else and I will dissapoint. I'm hopefully expecting Mewtwo, analytically expecting a Pokemon Trainer, kind of expecting Lucario, and dreadfully expecting Jiggs.

Pokemon seems to be a hot topic. How about we change it so that's it's relevant to the forum?

Now that Mewtwo has two mega-evolutions, how do you think his Smash Bros character would incorporate them? Or maybe, do you think he wouldn't use either?

My Prediction: Just Mega Mewtwo Y as a final smash. And it will be the only Mega Evolution in the game.

would like it to be like Zelda/Sheik transform thing
but some people say they can't do that because thats not how mega evolution work in pokemon (people think Smash follows rule and logic of other games :laugh: )

Mega Mewtwo X/Y would work well as a Giga Bowser/Wario Man type transformation Final Smash.

Maybe Mewtwo could change to either his Y form or X form depending on certain conditions, like health and stuff. I dunno.

the only problem I have with X/Y Mewtwo being a final smash is that we will never be able to play as them :(

Final Smash would be the easiest to incorporate: Technically speaking, even if mega forms are the new thing in Pokemon, their movesets in Smash shouldn't center AROUND mega forms, so it's kind of inappropriate to place mega forms anywhere else.

Something like "Take 200% damage" or "Charge for 3 minutes and then taunt up-down-up" seems kind of unfitting personally.

Not always, but it certainly follows balance. Why bother changing into a form more powerful than the previous one, you might as well stay that form the whole time. While not always canon, it's the little things they don't follow.

It does kind of suck.

Honestly, I'm not too sure we'll be seeing the X one.
It was revealed rather late and nonchalant as compared to the Y one getting huge promotion before everyone knew Mega Evolutions even existed.

The X one I'm more willing to bet will be featured in the upcoming Pokken Fighters game that has yet to be officially announced due to its status as a martial artist.

I meant X/Y being the forms not normal Mewtwo so they are equal
It does kind of suck.
ya that's why I hope its not a Final smash :crying:

It's a shame we won't see Mega Lucario or Mega Charizard X, but giving Mega Evolutions to more than 1 Pokemon is excessive and lazy. Looks like it's just Mega Mewtwo Y for us. But, hey maybe you can stay as him until you get KO'd.

....why would Mega Mewtwo X turn into Mega Mewtwo Y and vice-versa?

I recently I skyped with my friend (KingMario92) who played Fire Emblem Awakening. He told me that Chrom doesn't really use Blue Fire and that he uses only a lance and not a bow.........I'm starting to think maybe this is that situation where being recent might not be enough for a character. I mean face it, he's heavy Marth. We can all talk about what moves he CAN have, but that doesn't usually stop a person from being seen as clone material to Sakurai.

(yes I'm bringing up Fire Emblem :skull: )

...yes it does have to make sense.

There's no point in leaving out Mewtwo's true form and have alternate forms that it can't switch on the fly be used in it's place.

I know things have to make some amount of sense but its just something I thought would be cool :c
