This was revealed yesterday but the info about it wasn't clear.




And below is the official PR about it and some other details.

Pokemon X/Y PR - Mega Evolution Will Transform Pokemon and Revolutionize Battles in Pokemon XY


Quote
A Special Limited-Time Wi-Fi Distribution Event to Celebrate Mega Evolution Begins

Worldwide on October 12th, 2013

BELLEVUE, WA--August 9, 2013--In what could be described as an Evolution beyond all Evolutions, Mega Evolution is a new, awe-inspiring transformation certain Pokémon can undergo during battle in the highly anticipated Pokémon X and Pokémon Y video games. Pokémon that Mega Evolve will tap into hidden reserves of strength and power that have never been realized in their regular Evolutions, giving players battling with a Mega-Evolved Pokémon a dominant advantage. Mega Evolutions will revolutionize Pokémon battles and usher in a new Pokémon transformation never before seen in the Pokémon world.

Pokémon like Mega Mewtwo and Mega Lucario will harness the power of Mega Evolution in battle and will see their looks change and stats increase, giving Trainers a great advantage against their opponents. Some Pokémon that Mega Evolve may even change their Ability or type while in battle. Only certain Pokémon, under certain conditions, can Mega Evolve, and unlike regular Evolution, Mega Evolution only occurs during battle--once the battle ends, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will return to its usual state. One crucial element to undergoing Mega Evolution is a particular kind of item called a Mega Stone. Mega Stones are special stones that exist for all Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, each named after the Pokémon to which it grants power. For instance, the Lucarionite Mega Stone will help Lucario Mega Evolve. Mega Stones are hidden throughout the Kalos region, and players must find them to unlock the incredible power of Mega Evolution.

One Mega Stone, Blazikenite, will not be found during normal gameplay in Pokémon X or Pokémon Y. Players of the new titles will need to participate in a special limited-time Wi-Fi distribution event via Nintendo Network to get a Torchic holding a Blazikenite Mega Stone. This is how players can receive the Blazikenite Mega Stone when the new titles launch. The character distribution begins October 12th, the same day Pokémon X and Pokémon Y launches worldwide for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, and this distribution event will only last for a short period of time. Players will need to evolve the Torchic they receive via the distribution into Combusken and finally into Blaziken in order to harness the power of this Mega Stone and Mega Evolve Blaziken into Mega Blaziken.


The Torchic received in this distribution also has the Hidden Ability Speed Boost, a very powerful Ability that increases a Pokémon's Speed at the end of every turn. This limited-time character distribution event allows players to get a Torchic with Speed Boost, which becomes incredibly effective once they Mega Evolve Blaziken into Mega Blaziken.



Brand-New Method of Pokémon Training: Super Training!

Super Training or S.T. is being introduced in Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, allowing players to help their Pokémon grow stronger when they're not in battle. On the Touch Screen of the Nintendo 3DS system, players can have their Pokémon participate in Super Training, activities that will increase a Pokémon's base stats, the underlying values that define its HP, Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, and Speed stats.

One Super Training activity involves having Pokémon train by facing huge Pokémon-shaped Balloon Bots in a virtual space, with both sides trying to shoot balls into the opponent's goal. Using the Circle Pad and Touch Screen to avoid shots from the Balloon Bots while landing their own in the goal, players will enjoy this action-packed feature while increasing their Pokémon's base stats to help them become stronger for battle.

For a more casual way to help Pokémon strengthen their base stats, Core Training lets players set up training bags, earned by completing Super-Training Regimens, for Pokémon in their party to use. Pokémon will work on Core Training by themselves, raising their stats on their own. By tapping on the Touch Screen during a Core Training session, players can help their Pokémon increase their base stats, too. Players will be able to see how their Pokémon are doing at their Core Training at any time from the main Super Training screen.



More never-before-seen Pokémon that players will encounter in the Kalos region have been announced this morning by The Pokémon Company International. You can check them out at Pokemon.com/XY.

· By emitting radio waves from its antenna-shaped whiskers, new Electric- and Fairy-type Pokémon Dedenne can communicate with far-off allies. It can also plug its tail into outlets to drain electricity from them. Its Ability,Cheek Pouch, is new to Pokémon X and Pokémon Y. If a Pokémon with this Ability eats a Berry during battle, it will not only reap the benefit from the Berry, but the Pokémon will also be able to regain HP. Dedenne can learn the new Electric-type move Nuzzle, which looks cute as the user nuzzles up to a target with its cheeks fully charged, but it's quite dangerous! Nuzzle will do damage while paralyzing the opponent.

· Bunnelby is a new Normal-type Pokémon that creates its den by digging in the ground with its large, shovel-shaped ears. These powerful ears are strong enough to chop right through thick tree roots, making them a force to be reckoned with in battle. Bunnelby can learn the Ground-type move Dig. On the first turn, the user burrows underground, and on the second turn, it attacks! In Double Battles, a Pokémon can use Dig to avoid its ally's attack and then dish out damage on the next turn.

· It is now known that Skiddo evolves into the already announced Gogoat. A Grass-type Pokémon, Skiddo has a gentle nature and is said to be the first Pokémon to live alongside humans. Because of this relationship, Skiddo doesn't mind carrying people or supplies on its back, and it has become able to read the feelings of its riders through their grip on its horns. Skiddo can learn the Grass-type move Leaf Blade, where the user wields a sharp leaf to slice like a sword.



Introducing Gym Leader Korrina

Korrina is the Gym Leader in Shalour City, a seaside town known for its amazing views. It's also home to the Tower of Mastery, which seems to have a connection to Mega Evolution. Gym Leader Korrina seeks to draw out her Pokémon's strength to reach still greater heights, and it's said that she may hold the key to Mega Evolution! In addition to being a Gym Leader, Korrina is a fantastic roller skater.

When I saw "blazikenite" I got a little excited. Then I saw that it was just an item that produces "Mega-Blaziken". That isn't very imaginative. Still, this should provide an interesting new mechanic to the metagame. I'm assuming the Mega Stones will have to be held during battle, so they can't be used in conjunction with other vital items. Pokes with mega-evolutions will keep your opponent guessing as to what build they are until you evolve them.

I really want them to redo EVs and IVs, but they've been pretty much the same all these years. Breeding is next to pointless, since parentage has such a tiny effect on their IVs. Hopefully Super training will make EV training more fun. I don't really like minigames but it's better than repetitive farming.

Back in RSE I'd spend 30 hrs minimum on a single pokemon I'd use on my competitive team.  Most of that time spent breeding for better IV's, writing them down, breeding again, I dont even remember how many generations later I'd get the perfect IV's, nature, gender.  Save the physical and special attack change, what else numbers wise has changed since then.  Lol I also remember trying to get the even more perfect stats for hidden power grass or ice on my alakazam and **** like that.

I've only really tried that EV training thing once. I think I was a bit successful since the one I was leveling up got +3 in Speed after leveling up one time. I don't do the whole breeding perfection thing you did. I just use what I obtain and train that.

Also, a new Mega Evolution was revealed at the Pokemon World Championships in Vancouver.
Word of advice before watching. Turn your sound down low and you can skip to about 1:35.









If you're still wondering what it did after watching it, the Megastone affects the baby. Mega Kangaskhan gains a new ability called Parental Bond. When Mega Kangaskhan uses an attack the baby also uses it. So in this case every attack you use would hit twice. Once from the Parent and once from the Baby. The baby's attack is weaker.

ex. Mega Kangaskhan uses Fire Blast. The baby will use it too.

Sounds pretty interesting.

POKEMON IS BROKEN WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS TO AMPHAROS AND LUCARIO

Although I am glad to see that Absol is getting an evolution, even in this way.  He was always my favorite Pokemon that I'd never use.

I really can't get over the fact that they gave Absol an emo haircut and called it an evolution.
