Ehhh. Wasn't really feeling it. All the games we already were expecting and knew were coming got an ample amount of exposure, but all the brand new upcoming stuff that I was actually looking forward to? Little more than snippets, teasers and vague conceptual footage. EA was guilty of this as well.

Man, I was getting hyped for HELICOPTER BURNOUT... or... anything Burnout.

Managed to sign up for the PS4 beta right after the announcement was made. Here's to hoping.

Sony 6:00 PM - 7:30/8:00 PM PDT

SUPER! MACHO! MAAAAN!

The only real use it would have is in Doubles/Triples. Lightning Rod attracts ALL electric attacks towards the Pokemon who has it, regardless of who used it on who (and boosts the recipient's special attack), this extends to the always popular Thunder Wave.

I'm not saying they're BAD, per-say, but when you factor in that the other Megas have badass abilities like Parental Bond, Shadow Tag, Huge Power, Speed Boost, Aerialate, etc, it makes these two look a bit underwhelming.

The Chicken Man is viable in Ubers for a reason, especially when he goes mega.

I know, right? They nerf the hell out of weather, and then they give Mega Swampert an ability that only activates in the rain. Lightning Rod isn't the worst, but it's pretty situational. Unless they get incredible stat boosts, I highly doubt they'll be worth the mega slot. :P

Aw man. I was expecting something more like these:

According to Serebii, Mega Sceptile is a Grass/Dragon type Pokemon and will have the "Lightning Rod" ability. Mega Swampert will retain his typing, but will have the "Swift Swim" ability.

I know. If I wanted epic bubble popping action, I'd warm up Bust-A-Move 4 on my Vita. I've tried many of these replica games that take from the same formula, but none of them can top the originals.

- it's even relatively free

Going a bit backwards here, Squenix.

Hype... going into overdrive.

Bitch, please. THIS GAME is "Tetris Ultimate" in my book. If there's no equivalent Blast mode in Ubisoft's upcoming iteration, then I'll have to refer to that as "Tetris Subpar".

Pfffft. I came here expecting an epic video of the cat directly outrunning the racehorses in a straight line, and then someone to make a witty youtube edit of said cat outrunning said horses in slow motion with "Chariots of Fire" blaring in the background.

My inquiry that from the previous post pertaining to this, as this is still burning on my mind...
