In my experience with tumblr people are way more understanding with this sort of humor as they don't have tattle tales and over-strict mods.

Are you being critical of our authoritarian overlords? That is not going to be very effective.

One thing i noticed about megas is that they were a thing in gen 4. Electivire, Magmortar , Magnezone, Yanmega, and Weavile are all very similar to mega evolutions and are shockingly similar to their prior evolution.

Hey guys what're we talking about now that requires small text, which is actually more likely to draw a passing mod's eye compared to normal sized font?

How? They're permanent evolutions. They're not the only evoked Pokemon to resemble their earlier forms either.

That's sort of how evolution in pokemon works.

Oh for fucks sake. What I am saying is that in contrast to other evolutions and in comparison to the megas a lot of the gen IV add on evolutions bare a lot of similarities to megas from gen VI

Let's agree that it is a thing of unprecedented beauty instead of getting all worked up about it.

Agreed! Adding a bunch of evolutions in gen iV was awesome, and I wish they do that to the pokemon that need them in gen VII! Heliolisk, for example. It looks like the middle stage of an evolution line.

Hi everyone,

It’s been a busy summer and, in addition to battling bots and fixing bugs, we’ve also been busy working on some new features for our Pokémon GO Trainers. As you know, we recently released the new Pokémon Appraisal feature, which helps Trainers identify which Pokémon has the most potential for battle. Today we wanted to let you know about a new feature for the game that is just around the corner.

The next addition to Pokémon GO will be Buddy Pokémon. You will be able to pick your favorite Pokémon from your collection to become your buddy, opening up unique in-game rewards and experiences. Buddy Pokémon will appear alongside your Trainer avatar on your profile screen, adding helpful bonuses such as awarding Candy for walking together. You’ll also have the ability to change your Buddy Pokémon at any time.

We’ve got a lot more in the works this fall. Stay tuned here for all the details.

Thanks,
The Pokémon GO Development Team
