They could just hand wave Mega Evolutions as a man-made stone/device engineered to push Pokemon to the next level unnaturally.

Man, the worst part of getting this game early is there's absolutely no info up on the usual places. I need to know if there's really a Pikachu in these woods or if I'm wasting my time!

... Dressing up is awesome and I'm more excited to go to a new town for their clothing stores than their gym.

Yes. Pikachu is available in Santalune Forest.

Mawile actually has several very good sets in NU. (Mostly buff and utility.) The surprise factor might just be enough to keep them afloat in higher tiers.

Mega Mawile will not be NU, however. And regular Mawile is going to be pretty awful in other tiers even with its new typing because it's so frail.

If Game Freak wanted, they can just leave Mega stones in Gen 6. They did it to the Berserk Gene.
Which really sucks, because it'd have interesting interactions with certain abilities. (Would Own Tempo keep it from going off, or would Own Tempo Spinda be usable? Would Tangled Feet Dodrio see some use in NU?)

Goddamnit. I really want a physical copy, but nowhere near me is doing a midnight release. I have the space for the digital DL, but something about that just feels "wrong", I guess. I don't know what to do, ugh.

I suspect the 'wrongness' of owning a digital copy might diminish once you're actually playing the game.

On a different tack: if you are planning on picking up the game off the eShop tonight, for the love of god, put money in your account right now. People are going to be flooding not just the download servers but the account servers come midnight to download this thing, and you can take care of step one right now if you don't have $40 ready to go already. Do yourself a favor and get your money in place now, while the stress on the account servers isn't too severe.

Meanwhile, oh my god I need an Abra and a Houndour stat :3: gently caress I am getting Pokemon hype I have not felt this in a decade I just turned thirty what the hell is wrong with me and why am I admitting this on an internet forum.

Red/Blue came out in the 3rd grade for me and therefore only people my age (+-1 year) are allowed to enjoy this game appropriately. Hope this helps.

This raises an interesting question. What do kids just getting into the franchise now think of the older Pokemon vs. the new ones?

I have a couple of 10 year old cousins and they love the poo poo out of Skylanders but are barely aware of Pokemon at all, though they recognise Pikachu. They could well be in the minority though.

According to my little cousins:

and

"LOOKIT THE GOAT GOATS ARE COOL, UNCLE OLEG HAS A GOAT HE LET ME MILK"

The difference between gods and daemons largely depends upon where one is standing at the time.
Since I am on vacation until the end of the month, is there anything in White 2 that I should do before picking up a copy of the new game? Anything that gets traded forward or is otherwise useful? Prior to White 2 the only other pokemon I have is Blue.

I was 11 when I first got Pokemon Blue for Christmas. I don't think I've been this excited to play a Pokemon game since then.

Fucker would slowly wheel on out in a Rascal mobility scooter before opening up a bucket of fried chicken and eating it in front of it's opponent, staring defiantly the whole time. Any attempts to dislodge the bucket would result in instant death.

I have a set of twin cousins that just turned 11 like 2 weeks ago. They are hype as poo poo about it and when I saw them last month they talked to me about "advanced" pokemon stuff for like 3 hours. I love those little shits. For some perspective, I'm 29 (30 soon :( )

So what hair colors are available? If you can turn your hair green, then you just need two Meowstic (one of each gender) and a Skarmory and you can pretend to be the pilot of Cybuster. :v:

Yeah, I know. I can at least occupy them by doing all the homework I have this weekend so once I get the games I can just play them without having to worry about it.

I kinda pictured Mega Snorlax being the Anti-Snorlax with some sort of ability that "wakes" him up, increases his agility rapidly, and gives him a new moveset.
