Pokemon Origins Reveals New Charizard Mega Evolution, Also Horror
Nintendo already announced that Charizard (and fellow Kanto starters Blastoise and Venusaur) would have new Mega Evolutions in Pokemon X & Y. But did you know that Charizard would get two Mega Evolutions? Like Mewtwo’s new Mega Evolutions, there will be a different item each in X & Y, with the one we saw before going by the name Mega Charizard Y. That new one up above is Mega Charizard X, which just debuted in Japan in Pokemon Origins, an anime special based on the original Pokemon games. Unlike the Fire/Flying Charizard, its type is (finally) Fire/Dragon. Even though it’s not a flying type, it seems that it gets the benefit of the doubt and can keep flying due to the fact that it starts the battle flying as regular Charizard.
While we’re on the subject of Pokemon Origins, I thought I’d post the video below. The anime is supposed to be a closer adaptation of Pokemon Red & Blue, starring Red instead of Ash (and apparently with the addition of some promotion for Pokemon X & Y). But look at this scene of Squirtle brutally sinking its teeth into Charmander! There’s no blood, but there’s so much anguish in Charmander’s cry. I always thought a more realistic Pokemon would be interesting, but I’m not sure I could handle it if actual Pokemon pain looks like this!
