Lusamine wrecked my shit in both battles with her. The first one you don't even have to win, fortunately. Second time around took a few tries (and several viewings of the goddamn cutscene.) At least I got to hang out with mah boi Guzma.

Everything after that wasn't that bad until Dexio. Dexio was... I don't want to talk about it.

...I don't know what a Dexio is. Did you just spoil something I didn't get to yet? :V

Also: Gladion is crap at Pokemon battles. I wasn't remotely prepared for his ambush and I still whupped his emo butt :V

At least these rocks let you perform really corny dance moves super powerful attacks in battle.

Hey, the Fire type one is actually not that corny as you motion the Billow of a flame then cast it forth in a gout of energy to fill Your Pokemon's energy to the maximum so they can unless a Fiery inferno of utter DESTRUCTION AND INCERNATION upon their unfortunate Foe!
The water one, Um Katara and Aang Water bending lessons much?
The grass one is simple but pretty lackluster, however the EXPLODING RADIANT FLOWER OF EPICNESS is well, Epic

the rest...yeah...corny.

Especialy the fighting one.

That Punch-punch-punch pose for Fighting-Z Move isn't actually a "pose" as it is more of an actual Martial Arts technique/Exercise. I've done it before, though nowhere near that fast, and pro tip: the shoulders should not move while doing it and in Pokemon, they don't. Well done Nintendo!
The form was executed well, but the expression, or lack of one, is the corny part.

[Nighthawk]

If there is one thing that REALLY frustrates me about the Super Moves it is this...

They aren't even caught up with the Megavolutions... And now they have to do Super Moves ontop of that.

I'm pretty sure they're dropping mega evolutions (or at least putting it low on the priorities list) in favor of Z-moves, which makes a lot of sense. Z-moves are much better mechanic, mainly because any Pokemon can be equipped with a type Z-crystal and use a Z-move, whereas mega evolutions were limited to a small fraction of the massive number of Pokemon available.

[Akura]

No, Mega-Evolutions exist alongside Z-Moves. They are mutually exclusive, as both require a held item.

Dexio and Sina are from X/Y, where they explained Fairy-types. They appear in Alola to explain Zygarde, and you're required to fight Dexio(sudden and can't be refused) on your way to the Battle Tree(post-Champion area) where you get your first experience(first-hand) with Mega-Evolution in Alola. They give you Alakazamite, and more Mega Stones can be bought with BP at the Battle Tree - but only the one for those Mega-Evolving Pokemon that can be acquired in Alola - you can get things like Pisirite and Sableite, but no Gardevoirite or Mawilite as you cannot get those two in Alola.

The second battle with Lusamine threw me off. It turns out their totem boost also negates end-of-turn damage, confirmed with both Leech Seed and burn status.

[Sirus]

Spoiler: One spoiler to Akura's post (click to show/hide)

Oh, that Dexio. Completely forgot about him since it's his buddy that constantly bugs you about Zygarde

One hopes that the other megastones will become available once the Pokemon Bank is updated. Otherwise, Mega-Gardevoirs and other non-Alolan megaforms will basically become extinct and that would be quite sad.

I honestly didn't bother with status effects for Lusamine's second battle. I basically always had something super-effective to use and my pokemon were nearly always one-shotting hers.

I am still waiting for Rayquaza to get his own exclusive Z-Move that he doesn't need a hold item to use.

Sorry, I phrased my last post badly. I realize they're still usable, I just meant they're not likely to make many more of them, if any. I mean, I'm sure everyone noticed they didn't add any mega evolutions at all when Sun and Moon came out.

I heard that if Rayqaza Megas, it can't use a Z-move. If that intel was correct: then the vice-versa would be true too I'd assume.
THis would fit into hte game lore, given that while you cant do it with one pokemon, you can still use a Mega-evo and use a Z-move

Potential for Gen4 Remake is here...I will put obvious tell-tales into spoiler tags though. However, if ORAS's trend continues, and the potentials from my spoiler tag prove worthwhile, we may just even get a Dialga and Palkia Adamant-Orb & Lustrous-Orb Form change combo similar to Giratina's Kyogre's and Groudon's Orb-held reversions.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Alternate Dimensions,(Palkia is space, Giratina had his own distorted dimension) Silvally and it's RKS system(ArC--E-us) Also Lusamine cannot look that young have two 10+-yearsold kidds and be 40, end of story(Diagla-time manipulation) Cyrus also bears some similarities to Lusamine, but whereas Lusamine has Mother-complex Cyrus had Reset-God Complex, also there are 24 total Gen4 pokemon in the Alolan-regional dex, out of just over 300, that just screams Gen4Hype

All that said, I doubt Gen4 Remakes will occur, but even so it'd be nice to see Sinnoh

Just because you two reminded me that I saw this floating around a little while ago.

That's the ghost pose though...which yeah is corny but awesome sound effect. (would be more relevant if Decid's Move was Grass-type...lol)
But seriously I love attacks that use Flowers which explode into blasts of immense Radiation thus Bloom Doom is Epic!

Yay, they aren't supporting their systems anymore!

[Cthulhu]

Megas are also being blanket-banned in VGC formats. 

It might just be an MTG-style cycling out the broken mechanic for each new generation.  Power creep is a big deal in games like this and megas threw a ton more pokemon under the bus than they elevated.  Lucario was a top-tier pick in BW but when his mega got banned he couldn't compete with m-gallade and m-lopunny and went straight in the trash can.

[Neonivek]

Honestly... Give it time.

I honestly think that the reason they are dropping Megas is less because of power creep (because... Well... when did they ever care about Power Creep?) but rather because of the sheer monumental amount of work that would need to go into actually updating megas in order to be complete.

But even I don't think they are gone for good.

[RekkaAtsuma]

Could any of you imagine Infernape getting a Mega-evolution, one that is weaker than his normal form+Life Orb?
That's what gave me my reason as to why Megas aren't the focus here...The Z-move is more manageable on most movesets without being as game-changing...Infernape is a Damage Dealer, and Life-Orbs-non-mega'd pokemon create more DMG output than Mega-Eovling does. Heck even Ash-Greninja is weaker than Protean LO Greninja, but has more BST increase than most Megas get.
Now an Infernape Exlcusive Z-move, oh yeah that is could see!

On that thought, I'd love to see my Torterra gain a mega, or at least gain a unique Z-move.
But this will only come to pass if Gen4 does get remakes...and seeing as Blazikenite is Awol in SuMo, and my aforementioned reasons, We may very well just get said remakes.
