When a new Pokemon game is on the horizon, a unique batch of evolutions are expected at this point. What makes the latest CoroCoro Magazine scans out of Japan so special is that the evolutions shown are monsters you might not expect. Fourth forms? Fan favorite base forms getting a new lease on life? And legendary evolution? Read on…
The scans show off new evolutions for Pokemon across multiple generations, including Lucario, Absol, Mawile, Ampharos, Blaziken and the already revealed Mewtwo form. Using a new type of evolution called “Mega Evolution,” how it works is unknown, but the characters in the scans seem to be the first revealed using this method. Check out the images below and be amazed! Or not. I don’t care.
Until this new Mewtwo, there were no legendary Pokemon that could evolve. More surprisingly, the fact that Blaziken and Ampharos are getting a fourth form opens the door for a slew of new, more powerful forms of Pokemon that we had all long thought were done growing. And lastly, Absol and Mawile are FINALLY getting evolved forms, hopefully making them more competitively viable in the process.
Additional scans also showed off a new gym leader who is related to the mystery of Mega Evolutions, a batch of new Pokemon, (including the pre-evolution of the previously revealed Gogoat,) and an advertisement for a Torchic distribution event. This Torchic comes to trainers holding a “Mega Stone.” Is this the key to the new evolutions? Probably.
God, I want to punch that mini Raichu thing. Anyway, there was quite a bit of new information here, but keep in mind that none of this is confirmed. If these are fakes however, I won’t even be mad considering how much detail is in these scans. If they’re real, these Mega Evolutions can be a real game changer.
Pokemon X and Y will release worldwide on October 12th.
