Pokémon X+Y to feature new Mega evolution style

Pokémon Mewtwo

What?! Pokémon has evolving! Yes, I may have used that because it’s an awesome pun but both Pokémon X and Y are introducing a crazy new concept called ‘Mega Evolutions’.

Shown in the latest issue of CoroCoro (and translated by the Pokémon fan site Serebii) is the ability to further turn your Pokémon into battle hardened beast with the use of a ‘Mega Stone’.

So far only a few Pokémon have been shown to have this ‘Mega’ stage available, including MegaLucario and MegaBlaziken but here’s hoping for more. MegaMewtwo was actually featured in a pamphlet accompanying last year’s movie Extremespeed Genesect: Mewtwo Awakens, but has now been confirmed as a Mega Evolution.

Details including confirmed Types, Abilities and their new looks can be seen on Serebii – or you could sit tight and wait: Pokemon X and Y will be hitting store shelves on Oct. 12 for the Nintendo 3DS!
