Oh my god that's probably my new favorite starter bird Pokemon design...and probably the bird pokemon I'll actually catch on my first playthrough since Pidgey in Gen 1.
Speaking of roided up Pokemon, what are people's thoughts on the whole Mega Evolutions thing? I'm cautiously optimistic, although I agree with the many, many people who have pointed out that it feels more like a Digimon thing than a Pokemon thing. Not necessarily a bad thing, just odd.
Also, this is probably a good way to ensure more shiny new things in each new generation while limiting the number of actual new Pokemon we have to keep track of (since these are technically just different forms of existing Pokemon).
I do not care one way or the other about mega Pokemon battle forms. They will be one more thing to account for in battle, but I don't think they will be a big deal. There are plenty of ways to super-power-up a Pokemon already. One more that only works for a few Pokemon won't make a big difference.
The mega forms only last for the battle. Essentially if they hold their mega item they become mega for the battle. This also means that mega forms can not use hold items.
Word. Looks fucking awesome. One problem I have though. WHY THE FUCK IS IT FIRERED RED AND NOT ORIGINAL RED?!?!? This kid nowhere NEAR bad-ass enough to satisfy my original Red lust. Better than Ash though.
There are such things as No Grind Nuzlockes, where you add an extra rule either restricting yourself to a certain number of wild Pokemon battles per area, or just flat-out saying that all wild Pokemon battles should be avoided where possible. Definitely ups the challenge; whether it's doable, I do not know.

And first on a new page. Delicious!
The new Fairy type will be applied to existing Pokemon Jigglypuff, Marril, Sylveon and Gardevoir.
Clefairy is not fairy?!

This is the best thing ever.
Now if only they would tell me the IVs straight up.

Even if it turns out to be just like a one or two episode deal rather than a full series (the format of this isn't clear yet), I am so there.
