Mega Rayquaza / New OR/AS Info in NicoNico Video Stream [10/2]
- Thread starter Water Pokémon Master
- Start date
So I guess that pretty much kills any slim chances for Delta Emerald
Plus opens up a lot of ? marks about how will the story go in each version.
Holy s--- this makes so much sense now, earlier it was announced that the ORAS set of cards was going to have 2 Primal and 4 Megas, at the time everyone thought that because only 2 Primals were announced then Primal Rayquaza was going to be in a different set. Now that its confirmed to be a Mega evolution its all but confirmed that he's going to be in the set (one set for release in Feb)
2 P: Kyogre & Groudon
4 M: Sceptile, Combusken, Swampert, & Rayquaza!
I just got so much more hyped for this set, the art is going to be amazing for these cards.

The arrogance of trainers is believing that legendaries are under their control and not the other way around. Let them fight
Oh Ubers just got a lot more fun. On a different note, Primal Groudon now has a perfect counter. Delta Stream cancels out P-Groudon's sun and M-Rayquaza can retaliate with Surf/Waterfall, and he doesn't have to worry about Stone Edge since Delta Stream cuts it's power.

Mega evolution doesn't affect learnset as it is in-battle-exclusive.
So clearly that's Rayquazas regular signature move.
Same for Kyogres and Groudons recently revealed moves.
They didn't have any yet anyway, just signature abilities back then.

It looks much more like a mega evolution (serious design changes) than a primal reversion (which is more an oversized power-boosted look).
But also, Rayquaza doesn't sleep, or cause desaster like the other two. It's much more sentient, like a guardian oevrseeing everything from the skies. It has nothing to revert to, just get overpowered in a direct fashion instead.
Makes sense to me.
If only they called it something unique akin to primal reversion, rather than just a plain mega evolution it would make more sense though.
But apparently it's not a typical mega evolution so we will see.
Wow looks almost exactly how I expected it to look! Such a beautiful design, I love it.
Hopefully Mega Rayquaza's reveal will mean something bigger in the works. GameFreak doesn't seem to be going by format now adays, so i will keep my mouth shut rather than have my foot in it later down the line, but hopefully the games will be closer to emerald than they were to ruby/sapphire.
I think the difference between kyogre and groudon getting primal and rayquaza getting mega has to do with rayquaza being their master? What if Rayquaza is fashioned as the first mega, whose mega power came about to directly oppose primal power?

He looks really cool, except the weird bug jaw in the front... I mean I guess they can be tusks... never saw a dragon with tusks before...
I love the new look! The face scythehorns look odd, but even those are growing on me already. Mega Rayquaza looks absolutely celestially godly. I really wonder what stat changes Rayquaza will get.

wow I just thought until now "hmm why is this form looks so familiar?.."
It does reminds Haxorus's tusks..lol
I actually really like the design .. it is also looks like it broke from its own shell with that black coloring and these yellow red things separated from its body.
Part of Dragon Ascent looks similar to Rayquaza's big moment in Emerald (1:40). I have hope. 
Holy yes!!! I always loved Rayquaza and he is my favorite ledgendary... and now he has a Mega! And it's awesome!! I'm really happy! With this, I really can't wait for the day of release of the games (sadly, I will have to wait until November 28... but I think I will buy the limited edition)
As a 3D CGI fan-artist, I'm crying. They took everything that was simple about Rayquaza's original design and turned it into a nightmare. So many tendrils, thin flow-y bits, and transparent body parts! The original Rayquaza had such a simple 3D model, and Mega Rayquaza looks so complex!
Comparison:
It's going to be a real challenge making a 3D Mega Rayquaza...
Still, Mega Rayquaza is definitely awesome. It looks amazing, and its power is going to be something to fear. I can't wait to catch it!

Oh yeah... I forget those are real tusks and not axe bone teeth. >.< the vision I had in mind was a Chinese Dragon with mammoth tusks angled to look like a bug's jaw. I've never seen that before.
Don't worry guys this will be the second mega smogon bans from a banlist
(*cough m Gengar cough*)

It looks like a Mega Man Starforce boss and I couldn't be more happy about it.
