Digimon's anime is better than Pokemon's.
But Pokemon games are way better than Digimon's

Digimon games are a thing? Learning new things every day.

Anyway, I don't watch the anime. Even if I did, I wouldn't like their portrayal of Mega Evolutions.

"I wonder, what do Pokemon want to tell us with Mega Evolution?"

"That they love us and are our friends, of course! Friendship is magic!"


I'm a person who would depict them as more badass.
You know... like Super Saiyans...

Pokemon has made 2 specials about mega-evos, basically stating that they're badasses.(And you know it's a good anime special when Ash isn't involved)

They're not badass if their origin isn't.
And The Strongest Mega Evolution does just that. Remember whn Sycamore and that kid were talking about their origins and stuff?

Be that as it may, this still seems like one of those shiny gimmicks they add to distract people from the fact that save for a few mechanic changes and larger selection of pokemon, items and moves it's still essentially the same game as it was in 1996. One that has been released 25 times now by the way, and that's without spin-offs.

Meh.
I don't play Pokemon for the depth. Or for originality.

I don't. I actually was not planning to get the next gen at all because I didn't even finish black 2 or Y anymore, but when the next one turned out to be Hoenn...

Few more new megas. Steelix is shit, but Pidgeot and Glalie actually look pretty good, imo.

Fuuuuuuuuck! The demo codes for all of the Nordics have already run out. Image

I set up a UK email address with a proxy ip and took part in their raffle, but now I'll still need to a) actually get a code in the raffle and b) hope that the codes themselves aren't restricted somehow so I can actually download the demo with the UK code if I do get one. 6_9
