So basically Reiner cant help it in sell the Mega Stone and I stick with that stone forever. There is no way to change Reiner mind @Dragonstrike?

You'd have to provide a good enough argument for the sale being critical to the mission at hand.  The Executives are likely to ream someone otherwise.

How about "money"? Seems a good argument on my view. *Sigh* You not helping me either Dragonstrike. I want to get that Razor Fang and trying to find some money but your character its not being helpful. I would prefer to sell myself on the merchant, but that merchant will kill me if I get close.

Not gonna giving up yet. I will try to convince Reiner to help Arial to sell that Mega Stone. The madman is persistent. Prepare yourself for a loooooooooong night.

Ooooooh, neat! Its stubby forelimbs and squant body doesn't exactly contrast/pair well with the impressive head, so I can understand why they shift the design to something else later on! Still not bad looking overall, though!

Hey look!  I found another one!

I must be honest: I think I like that form more than the form we know today. This one have a more snake draconic style and I like that.

The design seems to be hit or miss with a lot of people.  Honestly, I kinda like both the beta and final versions.  They both have a different kind of charm to them, imo.

I prefer the final form to the beta. I find the beta a bit too silly, and the juxidposition of a western dragon head with THAT body seems a bit too cartoonish for a true Dragon type (excluding Goodra, whose's design was based in part on being cute/friendly) . The final version seems more.....imposing and fiercesome to me, and its the one I grew up with, so I naturally find it 'better' , for a given subjective value.

Ya know what might be interesting, though?

If some of Beta Kingdra's traits were to transition over to an eventual Mega Kingdra.  Pinsir's scrapped evo got that treatment (to a degree), so it'd be interesting if Kingdra ended up taking that route too if it also got one at some point.

That's only if Nintendo/Gamefreak continue the idea of Mega Evolution beyond the poultry amount of Pokémon they have gifted it too, but that would be interesting to see regardless if that turns out to be the case. Noticed those beta/Mega Pinsir similarities too, though I wonder why they just didn't give them that evolution in some manner like they did to Scyther.....? Was it to keep the bug a counterpart to Heracross........hmm.
