I am still waiting on Mega Sableye, Tropius, and Zangoose... Mega Scizor Looks AMAZING! I like how his claws aren't like Crab Claws now

they might give them as event later on which im hoping for
Pinsir and Scyther were first, however, the Pinsir and Heracross represent Japanese Beetle fights which is why they're always against one another.
As far as Garchomp's counterpart it's pretty much proven to be Dragonite. In black and white 2 you fight Benga and he has opposite teams in each game, one sweeper team with Latios, Garchomp, and Volcarona. The other a bulky attacker team with Latias, Dragonite, and Volcarona. Also when you beat him you either get a shiny Gible, or a shiny Dratini, so IMO we should be seeing Mega Dragonite
I took a look at the recently announced and older Megas, and their base stats, and I'm awed. It's beyond RIDICULOUS.
Not to say anything worse. It's the most idiotic thing I could expect from this Gen. Look at the ridiculous stats from Mewtwo X and Y. RIDICULOUS. It's stupid, it doesn't make sense, they just took a potential good idea to balance the game and give Pokémon the upgrade they were waiting for, and turned it into a non-sense fanservice. It lacks sense, it lacks vision, it's just ridiculous.
And it's working good for Game Freak, and they're probably rubbing their hands in excitement for they incoming profit. Give the hungry fans a Fire/Dragon Charizard, and even more powerful Blaziken, 2 godly Mewtwo Megas, the same Scizor with double the stats. It's not even giving the underdog the boost they needed, they grabbed the already powerful Pokémon and made them even more powerful to a an unbelievable extent, and then topped it with Mega Charizards and alikes, like throwing bones to starving dogs.
It's not even funny anymore. I can't even imagine what Smogon will do with this. And why would I be waving around my Mega Mewtwo Y ingame, just to mercilessly OHKO everything, what's the point in that?

*Sigh*, yeah... I'm envisioning an even more restrictive metagame where you are essentially forced to use one of the mega evolutions to be competitive.

It’s been a while
Water/Dark Gyrados looks interesting.
I,d never see it as a Dark type, even with its Mega design.
Water/Steel would look more fitting with the jet packs/missiles.

Yes. I hope the first person that gets it will be kind enough to share the information with the rest of us.

It still has technician? Seriously GF? You take away Akakazam's magic guard but keep Scizor (who didn't even NEED a mega-evo!) Technicians?
Afrodisiac
break up w yo gf, im bored
Yes, that is correct.
Taking Magic Guard isn't really that bad, and it actually can work in Alakazam's favor if played well. Alakazam still has Magic Gaurd as long as it doesn't mega evolve, so you can stick with base Ala until you're ready to Mega Evolve. And Trace can be a great way to stop some Pokemon from using STAB to try and kill Alakzam in fear of it copying their Volt Absorb or similar ability that may heal or worse give it a free stat boost (Storm Drain / Motor Drive).
With both abilities it allows Alakazam to play SERIOUS "mind games" (pun intended) with the opponent.
The dual abilities work great with many of the Mega's such as Venusaur (sun sweeper in base, bulk tank in Mega), Gengar (Immunity titan in base, Death trapper in Mega), Pinsir (Moxie boost, then slay with Mega), Gyarados (Intimidate drops opp. ATK, Mega for a bulky powerful Dragon Dancer), Aggron (Rock Head + Head Smash to murder something, the Mega to get rid of 4x weaknesses), Mawil (Intimidate drops opp. ATK, thhen Mega for a beastly Dragon slayer), Garchomp (Fast Attacker, then Mega for likely Pokemon Death Reaper).
Everyone else it's better to just Mega evolve, but these poke's can play some serious mind games.

in which case i can see that leading to interesting combinations of abilities being combined. Venusaur could use the speed of chlorophyll to get a quick ko and megaevolve to make it a solid tank.

That's different.
They didn't really "take away" Alakazam's Magic Guard because it's its Hidden Ability, it's not supposed to be normally obtained; Technician, however, is Scizor's default ability, alongside Swarm.
No one's forcing you to, so feel free to not.
They are putting megas on pokemon that dont need it. Ill even say my favorite pokemon aggron does NOT need one. Yes, I may get excited that gets one but in reality it doesnt need it. Currently the mgas that are appropiate are mawile, medichan, kangaskan (spelling), pinsir, and banette, and maybe ampharos. We need it on TOTALLY weak pokemon like mightyena, ariados, beedrill, tropius etc etc NOT MEWTWO BLAZIKEN GARCHOMP OR CHARIZARD!!!!!!

Or a day because the strategy guide i'm sure will showcase every mega stone and where to to find it. Since that's the purpose of a strategy guide.
I think he is saying more of other people using it on him. He is saying how bad it looks.

It's not like you can use six Mega Evolutions on your team. A MegaEvolution is still counter-able, you just have to think of a strategy to defeat them.
