Zerard Wrote:Personally, it really doesn't affect me. I feel it doesn't matter what time you learn of all these new megas (whether it be pre release or during) because the result you arrive at is just the same; you just get it at different times. If anything, I feel it's actually a good thing that they showed us the whole batch, because you know exactly what you'd be getting yourself into before it was too late.

That, and everyone was hyped during their reveals, so I'm a little confused as to why all the excitement suddenly petered out a few days before release.

 Spoiler

There's been a screenie floating around of the Gen 2 starters, but it's looking like post-game content.

OrionTempest Wrote:Personally, I can see why they'd reveal everything before release; they know that people will datamine the crap out of it and reveal every little secret anyway.

Razmos Wrote:So?
I'd rather have things discovered after the games release, either through discovering it normally or datamining it than having everything revealed beforehand and having no surprises.

My hype for the game has flatlined knowing that they already revealed everything.

Zerard Wrote:I wonder if this is really an issue of discovering it for yourself, or being disappointed that x mega didn't make it in. Because it sounds to me everyone wanted 'muh mega flygon, milotic, etc', and when they found out they weren't getting them, the blase comments came a flowin'. Even if we weren't presented with the information beforehand, people would be disappointed to see that there are only these amount of megas, and their favorites didn't get a form. Again, just a matter of when you experience the information, not necessarily how.

It's a Hoenn remake. the Johto and Kanto remakes didn't have megas; did that make them unexciting?

KhainiWest Wrote:I said I wouldnt get this generation without a mega milotic because X & Y cruelly teased me about it the entire game. So now I am merely holding my word MAYBE IF YOU KNEW WHAT CONVICTION MEANS, LET ME DEMONSTRATE IT TO YOU.

Razmos Wrote:Not for me, I have absolutely no preference or specific wants for mega pokemon. I honestly liked every reveal of a new mega pokemon, it's exciting. Discovering them for the first time is even more exciting though.
It's silly that in a game where every new reveal is hyped and every new discovery is exciting that they would reveal everything beforehand.

If we hadn't have had them revealed, people would have eventually been disappointed when all of them are discovered, of course they would be. It was disappointing when X and Y was leaking and Noibat was the final new pokemon discovered. But the excitement of discovering pokemon like Pumpkaboo, Goomy, Bergmite ect or mega evos like Mega Pinsir and such was more than enough hype to make up for that.

Considering that one of the major selling points of this game is the new mega evolutions, yeah, it's super disappointing. Especially when new stuff is supposed to be a draw to make us buy a game that we have essentially bought and played before.
