Pokémon X & Y is adding “Mega” Evolutions

A few months ago a reveal was made that implied a new stage in evolution for Mewtwo (see image above) and then later it was confirmed that Mewtwo would be getting that evolution in the upcoming Pokémon X & Y game set for the Nintendo 3DS later this year.

Now it has been revealed by Serebii.net that Mewtwo will not be getting this special evolution alone.

First off are various “Mega” forms of various Pokémon, specifically MegaBlaziken, MegaAbsol, MegaMawile, MegaMewtwo, MegaLucario and MegaAmpharos. They’re all called “Mega”. MegaMawile is Steel/Fairy-type, as is normal Mawile now. MegaMawile has the ability Huge Power. MegaBlaziken has Speed Boost. MegaLucario has Adaptability. MegaAbsol has the ability Magic Bounce. MegaMewtwo has the ability Insomnia. MegaAmpharos is Electric/Dragon and has the ability Mold Breaker
They “evolve” through a process called “Mega Evolution”

So yes, Apparently this new form is simply going to be called “Mega-Mewtwo,” but silly names aside, this could in the end turn into another new and wonderful addition to the already popular Pokémon franchise.
