I just heard about Mega Alakazam. He's my favorite pokemon so seeing him get a Mega form is really cool!

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.

Like a sort of Mega Choji from Naruto?

I was thinking it would be interesting if Mega Snorlax had a forme change thing going on like Aegisslash, shifting from sleeping and wrecking mons while awake.

Too bad mega evolutions don't change movesets, huh?

Actually some might. Since the initial release we've known the mega-forms give access to new moves some times (Mega Kangaskahn gets Power-Up Punch for example.)

Needs rubber sandals/flip flops. Make sure the sweatpants and wifebeater are copiously stained. 5 o'clock shadow preferable but ultimately unnecessary. Do not comb hair.

How does this work? Does the new move overwrite one of its existing moves temporarily?

Mega Manectric is like someone at Gamefreak saw all those posts I made last thread about Mega Evolutions just being a haphazardly designed pike of spikes, and decided to make fun of me by making a Mega Pokémon that is just a single giant spike.

Just got in from work and managed to play (it came right as I had to leave :argh:). Goddamn is this game beautiful. I love the art style, everything looks really crisp. All the little animations each pokémon has (especially for things like tackle) are awesome :3:

Snorlax already has a fantastic movepool, though. Return/Double Edge/Body Slam for STAB, Crunch, Earthquake and all three elemental punches for coverage. The only thing an "awake" Mega Snorlax would really want is Swords Dance and maybe priority.

How is the music? We've heard some clips from the promo vids and I think there are a couple low-quality rips on youtube, but none of the leakers mentioned it.

A friend of mine from Sweden (he's also a goon but I think he's too busy playing to post) got the game today, so it's safe to presume yes.

No idea, I'm just going by the wording the official site and statements have made. The talk about specifically Mega-X using move Y.

Pretty much. Nintendo (and all the game makers for that matter) have really clamped down on street dates in conjunction with the retailers. Even the K-Mart in the bad part of town has a modern internet connected system that blocks the sale.

E: Also, the Spanish have the 12th off for Columbus day, so they released earlier and since that's one big region, they can't really stop it.

unfortunately there is not a single place in the bay area that i can think of that would be willing to break the street date early. oh well.

i'm contemplating whether or not to just transfer my gamestop pre-order to another gamestop that is doing a midnight launch tonight.

I swear, if Mawile's is an event I'll be pissed. I caught a Mawile early on and it's now level 80, and I just want to let it Mega Evolve.

How the christ did they make Manectric look even stupider than it already did?

That aside, I went to Gamestop to finish paying off my preorder today. Couldn't talk the guy into breaking street (fair enough, that is his job) and I can't pick it up until like eight tomorrow, so I dug out the old GB Pocket and Red. Me and Dave the Bulbasaur are gonna take Kanto by storm. :3:

Just in case.
I'm not very far in to the game but I've noticed from certain camera angles and building designs this game seems to be truly meant to all of it be in 3D not just the battles, do you think it was a decision to take it out because of the under 6 crowd?

Not sure if this is new or not: water sport (and, presumably, mud sport) wears off before the user switches out - perhaps as little as two turns.

Ever since our drop-off service, I never read a book.
There's always something else around, plus I owe the library nineteen bucks.
I skipped Gen 5 entirely but I have the sneaking suspicion I'm going to end up pulling X off the eshop tomorrow. The last time I played was HeartGold, which I actually really liked (I think it might have been the best time I've had with a Pokemon game), but I don't know if I'm going to be able to recapture what I enjoyed so much about the G2 remakes with a new game. I've never been one of the "the only good Pokemon are the ones from my childhood!" people but I think the nostalgia factor there scratched a really particular itch that's not going to get hit quite the same way ever again.

I presume they're still committed to their baffling policy of not having your Pokemon follow you around anymore, right?
