We have to think positively... Ash said he'd go back for pidgeot and he didnt. Using this logic he shallgo back for the bidemonster.

That moment when you have two Milotic on your team. One is the VGC09 one (still have to get up its def and attack though) and the other is some I got sometime ago off GTS

Pokemon leaving Ash. The whole anime is repetitive as hell. lol.
Hence why I only watched the first 2-3 seasons of it

Battle success depends on several factors mainly:
-knowledge of type match-ups
-IVs, EVs and non-negative natures
-moves
-your pokemon in general, do they have good coverage or are there lots of types they can't deal much damage against?
-ability of opponent to counter your moves
-luck
-being able to predict opponents moves with knowledge and luck
-luck
What is it that is taking out most of your pokemon? Are your opponent's pokemon always faster? Do they always land super-effective hits? What can you do to stop that?
Moveset is interesting factor though. Since a lot of them rely on these stats-spamming mode ('raises xxx's stats sharply') which means you can pretty much go offensive lol. Unless you have a competitive Umbreon it's boring lol.

Is there a PTCG thread? I would really like one.
found this to be a good read on some ORAS megas
ND: Was there some kind of selection criteria for new Mega Evolutions?
Ohmori: There were some criteria, but we started by handling Pokemon that we wanted to Mega Evolve for the needs of the story. Like organization leaders? Pokemon such as Maxie?s Camerupt and Archie?s Sharpedo. Others were chosen while considering things like popularity and battle balance.
ND: Do you create a Mega Evolution by making the design first? Or are there cases when you wanted some ability for a Pokemon and created a Mega Evolution from that?
Ohmori: There are many Mega Evolutions for which the design was a priority. It differs from creating a Pokemon from scratch as you expand the existent design.
Sugimori: However, not every Mega Evolution got its abilities from its design. There isn?t a fixed procedure and each case is different.
Morimoto: There are also cases when we wanted increase things like attack or speed with a Mega Evolution. Those were decided first and it affected the design.
ND: There are many Normal/Flying types in the Kanto region, but out of those only Pidgeot was chosen to Mega Evolve.
Ohmori: Pidgeot is one of the Pokemon that the rival sends out in Pokemon Red and Blue, so it?s a very popular Pokemon. We wanted to give Pidgeot some spotlight one more time, so that?s why it Mega Evolves.
Sugimori: We wanted to create a great variety of Mega Evolutions, rather than making two similar ones.
Ohmori: There is quite a bit of trouble in creating a design for a Pokemon (strained laugh).
Sugimori: For example, there are Pokemon that were rejected as a Mega Evolution candidate because it?s like they couldn?t evolve any further design-wise.
ND: It feels like Mega Salamance is pretty strong even among new Mega Evolutions.
Ohmori: Although Mega Salamence was created by giving priority to the design, the designer was told to work within an image of ?tough and fast?.
Sugimori: The shape of Salamence?s wings is a characteristic of the Pokemon, but for Mega Evolution, they were given a more interesting meaning.
ND: ?Tough and fast? was also materialized in that, right?
Morimoto: When it comes to the battle system, having the same speed as Mega Kangaskhan wouldn?t be interesting, so we wanted to create differences by having some differing attributes.
Iwao: Speed was raised due to the thought ?when the shape of wings change, Salamence can control its speed freely?. Mega Salamence hides its front legs inside the armored part of the body, which gives an impression of toughness and raised defense. When a small kid sees a glance of Pokemon like Dragonite or Tyranitar, the first thought is ?I would win if I used this strong Pokemon?. Having an image that is easy to understand was also important for Mega Salamence.
ND: The speed of Metagross is boosted drastically with a Mega Evolution. What was the reason to prioritize speed?
Iwao: We considered simply boosting attack more or giving a Levitate ability as the Pokemon floats midair, but we decided on raising speed as that broadens battle strategies.
ND: Why does Slowbro Mega Evolve instead of Slowking?
Ohmori: ?Wouldn?t it be interesting if a Shellder was biting Slowbro?s body and not just the tail?? That idea came up when discussing with designers, so Slowbro?s design was extended.
Sugimori: We wanted to have a reverse framework for a Mega Evolution. Isn?t an appearance which looks like being almost eaten just that? (laughs)
Ohmori: Slowbro was more suitable for that purpose than Slowking.
Iwao: The situation is similar to Cloyster. I wanted Mega Slowbro to have a similar stamina as Cloyster, so that?s why defense was boosted.

also in another one of these, they essentially said mega flygon didnt become a thing due to "writers block"

Interesting take on Metagross, if it can move faster especially with its weaknesses, a lot of fire Pokemon are fast as well. I'm glad they gave the other ability rather then Levitate or whatever, it's kinda strong anyways and unless you have a good Fire Pokemon or another *2 attacker it's a beast.
As for Flygon, well I don't think it was necessary either even if people wanted it or whatever. Like only people use it is E4 anyways.

At least they tried to give it one.
Would you rather they just not consider it ok cool
true at least they did consider it i hope the at least reconsider
They've said they plan on giving every full evo a mega, so I can see flygon getting one soon since they're aware of how much the fans want it.
wait if they like giving popular pokemon mega evos does that mean *gasp* mega Dragonite yasssss let the dragoniteite be born!!!!
what do you think the mega stone of dragonite will be called if he ever does get one? i think it will be called the draconite
what do you think the mega stone of dragonite will be called if he ever does get one? i think it will be called the draconite
I mean it's better they scraped it now rather than pump out a half assed Flygon Mega honestly.
they made menactrics be manectite and sableye be sablenite so dragonite will probs be dragonitite or dragontite
ppl get mad over a pokemon being designed from a trash bag i dont think that will go down 2 well

Every challenge along the way
With courage I will face
I will battle every day
To claim my rightful place
So Come with me, the time is right

Favorite is definitely Pikachu, followed by Cyndaquil, Bulbasaur, Togepi, Noctowl and Galvantula... followed by a whole bunch in a completely random order.
