Okay. Many of you are probably thinking: AWESOME! A Greninja Mega Evolution!

Sorry to bust your bubble, but that is not Mega Greninja.

It is- and I quote, straight from the Pokémon website- Ash- Graninja.

Let me explain. I was looking for and update on Pokémon Z, and I came to a page on the Pokemon website with this picture.

My first thought: Wow, they're giving the Kalos starters Mega Evolutions!

Nope. I read farther into the passage, and... Nope.

Here is the passage I copied DIRECTLY from the Pokémon website:

Plus, Ash's Greninja takes on a mysterious new appearance in the latest season! Ash-Greninja is the form that Greninja takes when the bond between it and Ash is raised to the limit. The strength of their bond changes Greninja's appearance, and it takes on the characteristic look of Ash's attire. This phenomenon is also said to have happened just once several hundred years ago in the Kalos region, but it remains shrouded in mystery.

THIS IS SO ILLOGICAL!!! EVEN FOR POKÉMON! I DON'T EVEN KNOW ANYMORE!!!!!

I'M SO CONFUSED!!!! SOMEBODY, HELP ME SORT THIS THING OUT!
