Pokemon:The Origin - Page 18

In order to undergo a Mega Evolution, the Pokémon must be holding the applicable Mega Stone. The player must use their Mega Ring, which contains a Key Stone, to resonate with the Mega Stone held by their Pokémon to trigger Mega Evolution. Mega Evolution can only occur in battle and disappears after the battle is over.

Is the mega evolution a permanent thing in the games? or is it like the anime how it was kinda like an item thing. (one time use, gotta buy more of it later)?

This is some great videogame hype, for the upcoming Pokemon X and Y. I thought the fight scenes were some legit animation, and would love to see more.

It was fine as an anime but starting with the third episode the anime that was supposed to more closely follow the video game ended up as bad if not worse than anime with Ash with it's illogical pokemon battles. In the original anime Ash would come up with clever ways to win type disadvantages even if there is no way to dodge certain moves in the video game and the anime made up entirely new moves.

However in Origins a lot of the battles can only be explained with huge level disadvantages. Giovanni's Ryhorn for example was able to one shot Victreebell ok, but then it was also able to one shot a Jolteon with an electric move? Jolteon does not have bad special defensive it was a move Jolteon resisted and Ryhorn has terrible special attack. Ryhorn would need to be some absurd level in order to have effective electric moves. Then in order to defeat it Red uses a Hitomonlee that manages to fight this level 80+ Ryhorn monster they both knock each other out which I guess is possible with recoil moves. Then Charizard uses wins 1v1 vs Rhydon using normal moves and seismic toss, the seismic toss managed to take down Rhydon at 70% health too which is even worse than when Ash's Charizard does it at least there it was a finisher instead of a rubber band move. For a show that talks so much about type advantages it seems to make them completely with him even finishing Blastoise with a Charizard's fire blast after surviving a hydro pump.

I suppose what everyone likes about this series is that Red actually succeeds and becomes Pokemon Champ compared to Ash who is an idiot and loses and then gets nerfed in various ways to ensure he never wins anything major. Though the problem with a trainer that wins and becomes champ is that they would be too good of a trainer and would not be a suitable protagonist for another series. Having a different protagonist for each series could work, but I suppose they prefer to have someone that can be identified every series.

Bibarel can learn rock smash, strength, cut, waterfall, surf, and dive. If only he could learn flash, then he'd be perfect.
