      To be honest, Mewtwo is the type of Pokémon capable of taking those mega Pokémon without relying on it. But he's intelligent and curious too so ain't no way he will pass the chance to study them. If he can make his own building and Pokéballs, he can definitely do it.

      This makes perfect sense, especially considering what Mewtwo does in the first movie (I do not know if that is cannon, though). He creates a giant laboratory, organises a huge tournament, and even creates powered up clone Pokémon. And he does it all alone, and I presume all on a rainy Saturday afternoon.
      It is also pretty nice that he ends up making 2 stones for himself, making his better than the natural phenomena that his idea originated from.

      @@idk4435Yes, SPECIES morph for suvival benefits. As in, populations of individuals change over time. Thats what darwinian evolution predicts. Pokemon evolution has always been completely seperate from that, since they evolve as individuals (which biological evolution doesnt allow). And mega evolution is even less similar to that, since its a temporary change (again, completely unlike biological evolution).
      Also, the entire concept of cramming hundreds of thousands of years of evolution into one rapid change is flawed, since it lacks one of the biggest aspects of biological evolution: Changes in selection pressure. If the conditions a species is adapting too is remaining the same for a very long time, those changes slow down over time (since the organism is apparently already adapted to this environment a lot, which means the environment will not aggressively weed out a lot of individuals). If you have massive changes happen over just 5 seconds (pokemon evolution), there are not different selections pressures and environment to adapt too.
      Also also, if Pokemon species actually changed over time to conform to selection pressure, wouldnt basically all pokemon develop secondary types that are specifically there to combat its natural predetors? With pokemon types being a massive rock-paper-scissors game, its pretty clear what types would eliminate its current elemental weaknesses, massively favoring mutations that add these types to its own.

    Well……: the bit with Lysander and his Gyarados isn’t actually that unusual. In Pokemon Masters, the main thing there is sync stones which allows the bonds of people and Pokemon reach incredible levels. But one of the biggest indicator that a bond doesn’t just mean they love their trainer. In one of the stories, Giovanni was able to bond and become a sync pair with MewTwo who was going on a rampage. And the only reason they ended up bonding is because they have similar goals. Ruling the world. Thinking the world is pitiful and their arrogance makes them think they are fit to rule. They bonded through evil means. Which is why I don’t think it’s unusual for Mega Gyarados and Lysander to have bonded. Cause their goals are the same, to burn the world down.

    Mawile actually do eat with their secondary jaws. There's a Pokedex entry that states that, since the jaws don't have any tastebuds, Mawile will use them to eat food they don't like the taste of. I guess they must close the jaws around the food, dissolve it and then absorb the nutrients, sort of like a Venus Fly-Trap.

    I think one of the Pokedex writers was trying to quietly protest or make a statement about the either the ravenous fans or the pushy higherups. There's no real reason to surmise that Pokemon are truly suffering paradoxically from a bonding power. The designs themselves don't evoke pain or stress from transforming. Its an interesting addition though.
    I think a revisit to Unova and a return of N in the timeline with Mega Evolutions would be fascinating. That might be a great way to expand on the ideas and conflicts presented in Black/2 and White/2. N believing these Pokedex entries but seeing trainers who are so tightly bonded with their Pokemon achieving these and having to either find out the entries are false or exaggerated or that Pokemon Mega Evolved by love aren't in the pain that a forced evolution is.

    Also, there's that joke that "if the cockroach starts flying, nobody is brave enough to remain near it". Pinsir is a beetle, not a cockroach, but it does get the flying type and gets "menacing" through it.

    I believe all about uncontrol, pain, agony and all the negative effects of mega evolution on pokemon that are written in the pokedex are the effects when they first do it for some pokemon.. and the bond and love between trainer and pokemon is needed to eliminate or reduce all of that, to the point that they can use the form well even though they only use it in critical situations and not for a long time.
    that's why in the anime they don't use it carelessly..
    We know that Mega Evolution is their strongest form, and in many Japanese anime franchises and the like, when they want to use their strongest power or skill, negative effects will definitely follow. However, they practice hard to master it for the sake of the people they care about.
    Take for example Naruto with his Rasengan Shuriken, it is a painful and damaging skill that can even paralyze his hands making him prohibited from using the skill, but in order to protect the people around him he finally found a way to use it well.

      Mmm, i do not think so. The "bad" Pokédex entries are all in the Alola games, where mega evolution it's a foreing concept, just imported by overseas trainers. In that case, they just could have a bad impresion of the phenomenon, and think that the Pokémon it's suffering, just as a foreing could think that Z-Moves drain energy of a Pokémon beyond it's limits.

    @gir1456 8 месяцев назад +68

    I'm a mega fan of mega evolution. Here's what I came up with since its introduction. The way I see it is the megas were observed at different levels of bonds. The easier a pokemon is to work with the more likely the researcher is to have a higher bond, causing the pokemon to experience less pain/suffering. Gardevior, Pidgeot, and all starters are some of the first pokemon you get early and will likely use for a long while, meaning you're more likely to have a strong bond with it. Alternatively, Gengar and Houndoom, pokemon you're likely not to come across under normal circumstances, meaning a researcher would have one transported to them for research purposes. So they wouldn't have much of a bond causing mega evolution to boost it's natural negativity or cause the pain/suffering we see in those. To support this, I will use the game mechanics as a reference. Specifically the point that you can have a pokemon you just caught mega evolve. Meaning a friendship or bond is not a requirement at all. If a bond is something needed then it easily could have been a requirement they could have added for the player. Also the timeline of the pokemon games are split into main and remake timeline. Both with their own origins for mega evolution for those timelines. The makn timeline where x and y have the main timelines mega origin explained and the remake timeline where oras explains the remake timelines mega origin.

    I still believe mega evolution was just an attempt to grab Digimon fans. Guns, artificial evolution, temporary evolution during battle, altering its type. In fact, Dark Digivolving results in similar effects, causing pain, torment, unnatural evolutions, and always seem to result in rage. And we see that they can be triggered by a deep bond with the tamer, forcing them beyond their natural form.
    Great video with lots of sad details about how mega-evolution affects Pokemon.

      Megas we’re considered good increases in power based of a close bond with the trainer
      then when they wanted to get rid of it all of a sudden it became a bad power that harms the Pokemon
      I’m inclined to go with Kalos’s interpretation of megas since they actually have a monopoly on it while the people of Alola don’t even really know how it works

      Pokémon never made it really easy to raise your friendship level with a Pokemon. Plus, I have a feeling Mega Evolution would be absolutely hated if, in order to use it, you had to maximize the friendship of the Pokemon you were trying to Mega Evolve.

    i know alot of people have said this but, i believe the reason they deal with the pain in some mega evolutions is through the sheer bound itself, it gets some sort of self control through sheer willpower alone. why else are we able to use them? last resorts for our pokemon, and that they care about us so much; they put themselves into pain just so we have a chance of success. i believe thats the reason because, in the anime and in media its shown how deep a pokemon and trainers bond can go. and with katrina, her bond wasnt big enough with her lucario for it to control itself; causing it to go haywire as seen in the anime. high risk, high reward type of thing.
    tldr: they deal with the pain from the mega evolution so we have a chance to succeed. because they care about us that much.
    also, the artifical mega theory is amazing actually and i will personally take it as canon.

    Here’s how I always seen mega evolutions they are dangerous forms to maintain and the long lasting issues in the form is more a problem when you allow it to linger longer than a few minute, or the average battle, it’s a forced evolution but unstable. Like the way it’s used in gameplay is dangerous but it’s also rare so the worse of effects of mega evolutions requires something like DAYS in the form not minutes or hours.

    the pokemon absol was actually inspired by the doomfish, a fish that lives at the bottom of the ocean but when it appears on the surface a catastrophe would happened, in ancient Japan when this fish appeared it was hunted and killed because people thought it was the causer of destruction however, just like absol he simply appeared as a warning that a catastrophe was about to occur, because of this he was called doomfish.
    Being quite honest I understand that absol in his mega form has fur that looks like an angel's wings but even so I don't think he was directly inspired by this concept, however due to the lack of official confirmation everyone has their own opinion

    The Gastly line are ghosts who want to enter the physical realm. Upon birth, Gastly pokes his head in the physical realm. Then upon evolution, he manages to get his hands there, too. And when he evolves for the last time he gets his whole body in.
    However, when Gengar gets greedy and tries to evolve again in order to get an even larger spectral body in the physical realm, he could Mega Evolve, becoming so heavy that he once again starts sinking back into the spiritual realm. Gengar ought to have been content with getting his whole body into the physical realm.
    Ofcourse, this excess weight is a burden on Gengar that is too big too carry, thus causing him to have to revert back eventually.

    i think mega altaria gets glossed over a lot as 'it just gets fluffier' when the shape of its down has a lot of inspiration too. the long crest gets swapped for more cloudy white feathers which seems to be the shape of an old timey nurse/doctor's hat, with a little ahoge almost implying that its crest is still buried underneath that hat. the white ring around its neck also resembles the collar of a 1900's nurse's uniform, and what it gains on its back is a giant cotton head- with cotton buds being commonly used in medicine to stop bleeding and pad wounds. it gains its fairy type in the mega form along the same vein audino does: they're both nurses.

    I think the reason so many Pokemon are in pain or can't handle their mega evolutions is because it accelerates their natural evolution, but because it comes unnaturally, the pokemon's body isn't able to gradually adapt to the changes like usual. It's like if a fish was suddenly transformed into a human. Yes, we evolved from fish, but the fish itself isn't ready to experience the thoughts and feelings and sensation of being human. That has to happen slowly over generations, just like a pokemon slowly prepares to evolve by getting stronger. Or, it's like if a skinny person was suddenly given 50 pounds of muscle. They would be stronger, but the new weight and dimensions and needs of their body would be very overwhelming and distressing and unwieldy.
