Five megas were revealed today. All five require an additional purchase.

In today’s direct we saw five new megas revealed: Chesnaught, Greninja, Delphox, and two mega Raichu.

All five will not be available in base game without an additional purchase. The gen 6 starters are locked behind online ranked play, meaning you need a Nintendo online subscription.

The Raichu are apparently going to be from DLC.

Five new megas. Not a single one of them available by simply purchasing the game.

That is quite disconcerting.
