Champions is gonna be nuts if they don’t f*** it up. Actual competitive matches on mobile

They’ll f*** it up. I’m watching how they are massively f***ing up tcgp

TCGP updates were dope and AZ coming back is hype af

It's not even about their new forms, Chikorita is one of the least popular grass starters with only that one ugly b**** chestnut in competition

On top of that what mid ass pokemon has been saved by getting a mega? The pokemon that were already good and get megas stayed on top, the mid pokemon stayed mid with a mid mega

Pokemon Elite Redux did a really good job with their version of Mega Meganium imo.

Granted the whole purpose of the hack is making most mons incredibly cracked, but Mega Meganium is a cheat code in that game with priority healing moves

I’m not mad at the starter choices.

All three of them could use a boost to make them good

Yeah I'm not sure why anyone expected that the old titles to drop this year on NSO. Y'all should wait until next year. That's the big stream y'all probably waiting for. The 30th anniversary.

what did i miss

the boost

And this is the opportunity to make Chikorita viable. Looks is subjective, you may not like Chikorita, but there's millions of others that do like it.

chikorita and totodile in the same game is kinda overkill they could’ve saved one of ‘em for a third game

totodile hate?! bizarre. love that little dude

I think they're planning something for Gen 2 next year. It's the only time they do something like this. It's like how Blaziken was the only Hoenn starter in X/Y and got a mega and then we got Treecko and Mudkip in the actual remakes.

Plus I think y'all looking at this from a "I'm just playing the game" standpoint. Most likely they pick those three for competitive purposes for when Gen 10 release next year. It also gives a refresh on two old Pokemon that have been ignored for decades.

i can only go off what gamefreak has shown us and in the past with megas it's not caused significant change for a pokemon

now they could surprise us, but gamefreak has not surprised many of us at all in many iterations at this point lol

Kengiskhan and Charizard

legends ZA was the ONLY new serious title announced ?! wtf

Yes it has bro lol. Mega Blaziken was banned on Showdown ladders lol. Mega Kangaskhan was so broken in X/Y that game freak was forced to nerf it in Sun and Moon. Megas absolutely can significantly upgrade a pokemon.

Kangaskhan
Charizard
Blaziken
Mega Metagross
Mega Gardevoir

All were demons during Gen 6/7 meta for competitive lol

a color swap and kngiskan stopped hiding it's child

out of a total of 48 megas

the designs haven't been crazy, they're pretty predictable. whatever you picture the megas to look like for these starters will probably be close to what we get

Bro, you're thinking on designs lol. Game Freak doesn't care about that. They're focused on what can help refresh VGC. The actual games are small potatoes in their grand money making scheme.

blaziken wasn't mid though, blaziken was good back in the day and a liked starter. kangas i'll give you

chikorita has been irrelevant for a decade tho

They might have me back with Z-A, that’s literally a step in the right direction on how Pokemon should’ve been playing for the last 10 years

Champions looks crazy too

3 prizers back

Z-A looks fun

STADIUM BACK BABYYYY
