Mega Charizard, Mega Blastoise and Mega Venusaur Confirmed for Pokémon X and Y

Three new Mega Evolutions have been revealed during the latest Nintendo Direct: Mega Charizard, Blastoise and Venusaur.

Nintendo will be shaking up tradition by having a new way to meet trainers, Junichi Masuda confirmed during a Pokémon broadcast today. Instead of visiting the region's Pokémon professor at the start of Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, new trainers will receive their first critter from a friend.

Meeting the professor will come later, who will then give the trainer a choice of three of the first-generation starters: Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur.

These three can evolve beyond their final states in battles too, going Mega providing the Pokémon has a Mega Stone and the trainer has this new wrist bracelet dealy.
