Mega Pokemon & New Abilities

I was thinking since they announce mega pokemon I was thinking if staff can add this to pmu or at least give the pokes with mega there abilities like lucario with adaptability absol with magic mirror

ik mega pokemon wont be on pmu for awhile or they might not be in pmu at all

but if your not going to add mega pokemon in pmu for awhile at least give the pokes with mega evolution there mega evolution abilities

Haven’t caught up on Pokemon News lately(and don’t intend to), but from the way you’re talking about it, it sounds like it’s just another ability.

Pokemon Mystery Universe already includes Dream World abilities, it also includes all of a Pokemon’s abilities instead of just one. Since a Pokemon would already have 2-3 abilities, I find it somewhat overkill to add in another one.

Also, Mega Pokemon will likely be implemented in a few years. Unova Pokemon still haven’t been completely finished.

I’d like to disagree on this. With the addition of DW abilities, Pokemon have MORE abilities than ever. Taking the PMD Ability mechanic of “you have every ability at once” into consideration, I’d consider that a buff to the affected Pokemon.

Not so sure if I’d be adding that ability. Maybe make it active only when it’s in the Mega form.
Although, I doubt we’re going to be seeing any Megas soon, like What previously mentioned, a majority of the Unova Pokemon haven’t even been added.

I just noticed another problem. There may not be Mega-Evolutions for every Final Evolution Pokemon. So some may get a boost while others don’t. That makes it a bit unfair while every Pokemon has a Dream World ability, making it fair.

I agree with your statement here, what.

Kendel, I’d have to disagree. Mostly from the reasons above. Also, this would make people just spam these certain Pokémon in the arena. So personally, I disagree.

Edit: I don’t really see how this could be put into PMU. Like, I know sprite change and that, but wouldn’t this just get glitched later on? Proberly making them permanent until it’s fixed.

It’s not a bad idea… but I think they need to release the 5th Gens first… personally, I would have to disagree. I wouldn’t like the fact that Mega Pokemon stalking around on PMU… it would really look out of place. Sorry, I disagree.

actually, we have the sun cherrim forme. meaning, cherrim, when in sunny weather, blooms as it should do. this works on PMU, so im sure the mega evolutions could work…

Regardless, I don"t think this is needed. Why overkill with abilities? These pokemon will just get abused, and eventually the abilities will probably be nerfed. It"s not needed. All pokemon in PMU have access to the abilities THEY"RE capable of ((Other than the ones that aren"t in game)) so why give them more?

I completely agree. I mean, having the Mega Evolutions would make so many Pokemon broken… I mean, like Bloodthirst said, having the abilities would make so many Pokemon over powered…

Maybe… We could of the items like Blazekinite that have to be equipped, it’ll give the Pokemon stat boosts and cancel out it’s current abilities and replace it with the Mega Forme one.

if anyone wants to make a mega sprite, they can do so. ;D

Everything else is something the staff will take care of and definitely do, if they have the chance.

Let’s not talk about fairness in Pokemon, people. There are pokemon that have overpowered stats and some that don’t. I don’t see abilities changing that. Most of the abilities aren’t that overpowered for mega evolutions, either.
Personally, i think this would be a nice addition to the game.

Let’s also not forget that the game wasn’t even out yet when the last post was posted and people overreacted to the mega evolutions while in reality aren’t overpowered in the first place(except for like, 2)

On topic, I feel that this would be great for PMU, would fit as a hold item.

I have to agree that mega pokemon would be nice in PMU, but I think it would be hard to implement. in the regular games it happens by holding a mega stone and wears off after a battle is over. seeing this on PMU would be kinda weird since we go by floors.
also going mega is done by choice, not automatically. I don’t see it possible to implement so easily. if it does, then it wont be anytime soon. staff are still working on getting PMU back up and have no time to implement things like mega evolutions, new abilities, or new items atm. these can be implemented, however, lets wait until PMU is back up first.

While Mega Evolutions would be cool, the real question is.

How would they work?

Of course say you went Mega Blaziken which would be insanely overpowered in pmu (As would be the other megas.) how would we balance them besides the faint=it can’t go mega again.

Of course some need it such as Heracross having jack squat for ranged moves (As they dominate, dungeons or arena otherwise.)

Any ideas?

well I have thought about this a little. if a mega faints, then it goes back to normal. a pokemon can go mega at anytime (in town or in a dungeon) but it goes back to normal after 100 steps. to go mega, you have to go to use the mega stone that pokemon is holding, like blaziken holding the blazikenite. when the mega stone wears off, then you can reuse it.

what do you guys think of this?

don’t see why not discuss it now than later? it isn’t like this won’t be here after pmu returns, and if they don’t have time to implement it that just means we have a thread prepared before hand. (also, i’m pretty sure staff are trying to implement the changes from b/w to x/y whilst preparing the game. something they said i think suggested such.) Though yeah, the whole application of mega evolutions to pmu is a tad difficult. and unfortunately there aren’t any pmd games recently released that harness the new system either, so nothing to base it off. I’d probably side with mega evolution items being more use items than equip items at this point, because like people have said you choose whether or not to go mega, and equipped items don’t really have an option as to whether or not their effects are going on or not. use the item and it either mega evolves you for the entirety of a dungeon, or for a single floor. though i feel against the single floor aspect, because then it just becomes obnoxious having to do it each flight of stairs you stumble upon. though it wouldn’t be a one use item, because yeah.

that or staff could possibly program a key to allow a pokemon to mega evolve when holding the item for it, and then it lasts a floor. which now that i think about sounds the most reasonable. it wouldn’t be as obnoxious either because it comes with it’s own quick-key…hot-key? erm, whatever you call it. and i’m ignoring all the debate about pokemon balance, because that’s just bundles of faulty logic.

added : as for richard’s suggestion, I don’t dislike it. but i feel a floor by floor or map by map approach seems more suitable for mega evolutions since the original function of mega evos was it lasted until a battle was over. the concept goes better with a per floor or dungeon aspect, than a gauged time. not that i would be opposed to it either, i’m honestly not sure which one would be a more balanced system overall.

I think mega stone should only in arena/town/house/etc

Why would you use mega in dungeon were you can possibly loose your mega stone

An getting another one well not be easy do

since Im guessing mega stones goanna be very hard to obtain

An you wouldn’t want loose your mega stone after all hard work time and effort you put to get one

As for mega goes I think If you go mega you should get all your ability’s

Since In the regular mystery dungeon games you get all your ability’s

shouldn’t that risk be up to the person with the item though? i mean it is after all their item.

Mega pokemon would be cool for pmu because it would be something new,fun, and a great new experience for PMU! Like kendel said it would be used for the arena and town for just to chill and show off your mega. I think these items would be good for pmu but they should be really hard to obtain like a rare item in one of the boxes on 99f in Tanren or kecleon could sell them for a really high price. I really hope Megas are put into PMU!

So since Exp. Alls are hard to obtain, and Wonder Chests are hard to obtain, we should just not use them because we might lose them in a dungeon?
