Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.
Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Mega Evolution
ohgod. Okay, let's take another crack at these. Stat spreads with proposed changes are in bold. Mega Abomasnow: +2 Attack, +1 Defense, +2 Special Attack, +1 Special Defense, -1 Speed Mega Absol: +1 Attack, +2 Special Attack, +2 Speed Mega Aerodactyl: +2 Attack, +1 Defense, +1 Special Defense... -
Mega Evolution
Yes! i don't think it'll be in the super-near future, since I'd like to give mega evos a little time to have the spotlight, but Z-moves will be implemented eventually. A mega's base speed won't change; the modifier is to its regular evo's base speed. And yeah, that's kind of a problem with... -
Mega Evolution
Okay, remaining mega evolution stat boosts (me like a week ago: "Oh, no big, there's only like fifteen mega evos, right?" *sigh*). If these look good and there aren't any last-minute changes, mega evolution should go live in a couple days. Mega Beedrill: +3 Attack, -1 Special Attack, +3 Speed... -
Mega Evolution
Okay, sounds like we'll go with mega evolution costing an action, then. XD Any further comments on the boosts provided? If people are okay with the sort of stat modifiers I proposed, then I think all that's left is to assign some to the rest of the evos, and we can try this thing out. If you... -
Mega Evolution
Right, I forgot that they stack with normal stat boosts and can't be removed/copied/etc. That does make them substantially better than "normal" stat boosts, so paying 5% for them is probably fine. Not that lowering the energy cost to, like, 3% or something would probably have had a lot of impact... -
Mega Evolution
With further cogitation on this topic, I'm wondering whether five energy for an overall +5 to stats is appropriate. It's reasonably powerful, but that's also exactly the going rate for any boosting attack. Mega evolution does also change abilities, so you are getting something more there, but... -
Mega Evolution
Quest opponents are already allowed to do things that normal players/pokémon aren't allowed to do in battle (like... be legendary pokémon), so no, I wouldn't apply that restriction to them anyway. But, it's true, it would probably make more sense to change that restriction so it applies to... -
Mega Evolution
Tournament, event, and quest battles, pretty much. When you make your own challenges, you can set the rules to be basically whatever you want, so e.g. if you're okay with your opponent using a Mega even though you don't have one, it's totally fine. -
Mega Evolution
It's back! With a huge thanks to Metallica Fanboy and the rest of the mod team who put together this rules proposal; I didn't have anything to do with it. I thought I'd post the rules draft here so people could voice their opinions on it. Is there anything you'd add, or anything you'd change... -
Mega Evolution
As far as I'm aware, anyone talking about reffing with stats isn't talking about comparing one pokémon to another (e.g. abra has lower BST than machamp, so it's worse stat-wise), but comparing stats within the same pokémon (e.g. abra has higher special attack than attack, so it deals more damage... -
Mega Evolution
Yes, I've incorporated base stats in my reffings for quite some time. I also like the idea of inherent, non-interactive stat boosts to represent the increased power of mega forms. I would support positive boosts only, though--make that part of mega evolution all-upside. An inherent +1 to any...
