Mega Swampert's ability is Swift Swim. Just have it or another pokemon cast Rain Dance and you're ready.
I won't miss Politoed. Good riddance.
How much does the PokeBank cost? It seems like a bad idea to me, money-wise. Just another way to milk money.
Its not another way to milk money, its a way to give us a service tthat will cover all future generation where we can save our pokemon for only 5 euros and those 5 euros are going to server maintenance obviously since keeping servers up to save people pokemon data costs money.
Nothing cheap or milking money about this.
Doesn't account for items and mega evos.
And? just trade the pokemon with the megastone directly, they dont let items go into the pokebank so in Gen7 we dont go to it with a bunch of choice items, focus bands, mega stones, etc and not have to adquire them, they want us to adquire them every game and I think thats fine, and like I said XY megas can go to ORAS so you can just trade those stones there.

This affects Swift Swimmers substantially. Nobody wants to use a turn on Rain Dance.
I never cared for weather effects so this only helps me in doubles
One explanation I can think of about the absence of patch for X/Y is local play issues that it would create between people who patched the game and people who didn't.
Same reason the MK7 patch only affected the online mode.
And with this kind of game, you can't really partially patch the game.

It's not uncommon for publisher's to release a compatibility patch for a game….and gamers to not download it either because they don't have internet access or are simply to damn lazy or ignorant to download it.
Btw, this is for you, weather tricksters.
From now on if a pokemon with an ability which changes climate is either defeated or switched for another, the effect in place will cease immediatly. Shortly put, you either change climate through a move like Sunny Day or consider your strategy fucked up.
Well….this is completely fucking dumb.
Did the weather really deserve another nerf ? It wasn't even that good in singles.
That can't be true, because other than the new megas, moves and items ORAS and X/Y are still compatible, that kind of change would made the games completely incompatible.
Neketsu aren't you making confusion with Primal Groudon and Kyrogue abilities cause those are the ones that have that kind of effect.
Edit: now that I think about it those abilities would be really scary if they were able to be maintained even if both primals weren't in battle.

Some sort of crazy shit must be going down in VGC because only Rain and Sand are good in Singles and they don't run the game.
Politoed just became useless. Rain gets screwed. Sand Pokemon don't really care though.
EDIT: I did look at the data and it said Heavy Weather. Not sure if that differentiates them.
I'm sort of happy about switching ceasing auto-weather effects, because people with retreating Politoads is a real common and baneful annoyance. It's a change alot of people aren't going to be happy with tho, so I'm curious to see how meta-game would play out with weather if it's used at all.
I don't think that's true cause it's not only a nerf but a change in game mechanics. Where did you see the Nekketsu? And it would suck because i always thought i would try Sand Hyper Offense some day and now i won't get a chance (one time i used a tyranitar with a choice scarfed Excadrill to bluff Sand Rush… it was really funny when they thought they could switch to Rotomo or Gengar).
(it would change doubles so much and setters would go down to make way for weather pranksters :B )

I know this applies to the primal forms of mega Rayquaza, but do we have any evidence it effects any other type of weather?
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Just checked,and it only applies to the new weather effects. From the pokemon ORAS website
Normally, the Abilities Drizzle, Drought, Sand Stream, and Snow Warning all last for five turns after being activated, regardless of whether the Pokémon is still in battle or not, and then the weather returns to normal.

Nevermind, false alarm, it seems.
We are gonna still be hating Politoead in doubles and its "You can't kill me" EV Spread then :B

It was a false alarm as I pointed out. The switch out thing only applies to the primal weather effects and Mega Rayquaza's effect

Politoed still would have been good for mind games I think. It's the Swift Swimmers that would suffer
Politoed would be really useful in my team if I were to choose Mudkip as my starter. But I'm going to pick Torchic.

Wow, the amazon listing promises things that are going to upset a few kids when their game doesn't have them, such as "pichu starter" and "pikachu mega evolution".
looks at base stat changes for new Megas
Holy Shit Mega Beedrill.
Well I finally pre-ordered Omega Ruby, I'm getting the steelbook version for the same price as the normal one :D
I'll end up getting alpha sapphire as well I'm sure, but probably not at launch
So this was found in the BGM listing:
- **STRM_BGM_BATTLE_TOWER
- STRM_BGM_BATTLE_RESORT
- STRM_BGM_VS_ BFRONTIER**
Among a hella lot striking BGM that will make you drool.
Got my email with the demo code.
Something to pry my hands from Smash Bros. Eh, who am I kidding
yes! I JUST GOT MY CODE!
Wait, i'm in another country and i can't really download it (except if i forego like 3 hours of sleep of a day full with meetings to configure the connection and download it)…SONOVA.
Edit: I can sleep when i'm dead. I'm downloading it xD
You've got your priorities straight, sir.
If they ask me why do i have such a tired face i'll tell it's because i woke up at 5 to…i don't know. Study the meeeting binders? Something like that (Shame that i didn't found a coro coro dammit).
I got my code and am downloading the demo now…
Orlando? I know it's literary but i prefer Prismal or Prismeru :3
edit: Looks Really Nice, Maybe Hoenn won't suck this time (Yeah, i haven't forgotten the running gag).
Wait, what. Curse just gave the Numel i'm battling a +2 boost in Atk and Defense and a +3 in sp. def. when it used Amnesia. Is this a Translation mistake?
I totally Ship Tabitha and Matt.
Man, if i try to order this Mega-Swampert around without enough badges he's gonna rip my head off.

It looks like you live in Switzerland, but I thought the steelbook was UK only?

I think it's all of Europe ? I ordered mine from Amazon France, and they have it for pre-order…
Decent demo, would have preferred mega Steelix, but it was fun.
Got the demo and I already played it 9 times, lets go for the tenth and see what is the reward this time, I already got the pokeball, heal ball and heart scales sets
Spoilers: It's another set of heart scales.
I played through the demo eleven times and it was pretty fun. One of my gripes is that the "Experts" have Pokemon that are capable of Mega Evolving, but lack the Key/Mega Stones to make it happen.
Keep playing the demo every day and sooner or later you should unlock a secret mission.
Also, I'm surprised no one is commenting on the datamined BGM listing which confirms the Battle Frontier, every legendary (Deoxys included) from Johto to Unova except the ones that pertain to events, among a whole lot of interesting music.
Basically, Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are the new Heart Gold and Soul Silver.
We kinda knew that every non-event, non-XY legendary would be in ORAS since they said in the interview that all Pokemon would be available between ORAS and XY.
So this means the next gen will again have unique and exclusive Pokemon.
2015-Pokemon Z
2016-Generation 7?
2015-Pokemon Z
2016-Generation 7?
Shouldn't there be a question mark at the end of Z?

That one at the end is for those two predictions.
what's this about Gen 7 and Pokemon Z?
So this means the next gen will again have unique and exclusive Pokemon.
With the way they hype mega pokemon, I highly doubt we'd see a generation like BW ever again.

Size wise? I think they made less pokemon because of all the modeling they had to do, I kinda predicted that dex wise the dex would be a lot smaler(not 71 or wtv the number is) but smaller than usual, BW used DPPT sprites so they only had to make new ones not remake old ones, so if Gen 7 happens on the 3DS and it probably will, I'm expecting an engine upgrade and more pokemon than in this one, not sure if thats what you meant.
2015-Pokemon Z
2016-Generation 7?
Probably if they want to keep their faster schedule yeah, they can do like they did with Genesect and release Volcanion a year before it move comes out and the new games would come out after the movie if they dont do that Gen 7 will probably come later, they did that so Genesect would get some usage in its actually generation.
As for Z I believe gamefreak said they probably wont do a Z because they dont want to be predictable but as far I'm concerned make an XY2 is also predictable since they just did that with BW but it definetly makes sense a lot of loose ends and the poor post game leaves a lot of chances for more exploration, Zygarde had zero lore or not much atleast.

Because it doesn't confirm anything, its BGM they have othe random BGM there including that new Battle Resort facility, I'll believe BF when the game coding shows it(not a BGM from BF that could probably be there to be used onlinem etc) or it is officially revealed.
I come back everyday to this thread expecting a Mega Flygon ;( but alas, deception is your second name Game Freak. Why must you hammer the tender entrails of my heart with your stone-cold hammer?
Shit fuckin sucks.

Hey, if it's of some comfort, keep in mind that it not having a mega also means it not having a stupid looking mega! Unlike others, Flygon doesn't turn into a top, or a frisbee, or a w.e. the fuck mega glalie is supposed to be.

Hey be nice to the poor guy because in the main site says that every time a Glalie mega evolves is mouth gets dislocated that's why you never see mega Glalie with his mouth closed.
