    See, I hated the way you fought gym leaders again in HG/SS. In fact, I liked Emerald better because even though it was random, you didn't have to first get to them at a specific time and day, and then wait for another time and day just to challenge them. That's why I liked the way Platinum did it best.

    I think so, yes. I just can't possibly wait until November.

    The thing I'm most excited for from this trailer are those little moving platforms that send you flying in different directions - I'm going to make my base confusing as **** with these. >:D

    They've also elaborated more on the cosplaying Pikachu, who gets special moves depending on which outfit they're wearing - Pikachu Rock Star gets Meteor Smash, Pikachu Ph.D. gets Electric Terrain, Pikachu Pop Star gets Draining Kiss, Pikachu Belle gets Icicle Crash, and finally, Pikachu Libre gets Flying Press.

    ~There was also a scan that hinted in a wifi event where you can a shiny metagross with a mega stone, but I don't think it's been confirmed yet.

    Mega Altaria being Dragon/Fairy and having Pixilate...well, time to get my counters set up. The cloud theme is nice.

    Mega Lopunny being Normal/Fighting is neat, though I dunno how useful it'll be unless they give it a big ATK boost. Neutral about the look.

    Mega Salamence looks like it'll be a pretty big threat, though I'm kinda unimpressed with its ability, Aerialate. Wish the thing still had arms though.

    Mega Slowbro & Mega Audino

    [​IMG]

    Mega Slowbro has Shell Armor where its defence increases greatly & its s. attack is also raised. Mega Audino becomes a Normal/Fairy type and can have the Healer or Regenerator ability (though it always has Healer in its mega form). Also has high defence & s. defence.

    Trailer for Mega Audino;

    I'll be honest, I actually thought Mega Slowbro and Mega Audino were fanmade Megas when I first saw them. But when I opened Serebii.net, I was sure surprised XD

    Guess this means every generation now has at least one Mega Evolution.

    It looks like Slowbro is getting eaten more and more by that Shellder. Eventually it'll get to the point where there's just another face sticking out from the shell.

    Given that Gen V now finally has a Mega, I'm holding out hope that those rumors about Mega Galvantula and Druddigon from around X/Y's release become true~

    Mega Lopunny looks kinda creepy to be honest. Slowbro just looks... very confused.

    Gen 3 wasn't really my favourite gen but I think I might consider getting OR or AS because of the contests and hidden bases. Contests would definitely keep me playing for a while, probably why I didn't play X&Y as much since once you beat the Elite 4 all you really had was the battle mansion and battling other people.

    Got a new trailer out for the games. Nothing too new, just a lot of bunched up info we've gotten the past few months. Though we do get to see a little scene with both kyogre and Groudon awakening, so something nice. Also the look of how Dive works now

    As far as what was revealed in that trailer, I'm curious to know what the whole tip-toeing around in the grass is about. I wonder if it's just to get the upper-hand on a wild encounter or if it's something else entirely?

    Thank you, based CoroCoro.

    Mega Sharpedo, Camerupt, and Gallade all confirmed, used by Archie, Maxie, and Wally respectively. Sharpedo is Water/Dark with Strong Jaw; Camerupt is Fire/Ground with Sheer Force; info on Gallade is still forthcoming.


    Primal Kyogre's ability is Sea of Beginnings, which causes "strong rain;" Primal Groudon's is Land of Endings, which causes "strong sunlight." Each of them gets a new exclusive move, too. Groudon's is called Cliff's Blade. Kyogre's is still forthcoming.

    Awesome! Looks like both of Ralts's final forms have mega-evolutions now.

    More CoroCoro info!
    • Mega Gallade remains Psychic/Fighting, and has the ability Inner Focus.
    • Primal Kyogre's new move is called Origin Wave.
    • Rayquaza is said to hold a secret to Mega Evolution.
    • Next month's CoroCoro (due out on October 15) will contain a special serial code to offer a demo of OR/AS. In the demo, you will be given a Grovyle, Combusken, or Marshtomp as your starter. The demo ends with obtaining a new Mega Evolution. You can then transfer the Mega Evolution, along with items you collect, to the full game. Also, something special may happen if you play the demo every day.
    In other news: If you live in Europe and you register a Nintendo 3DS and a copy of Smash Bros for Nintendo 3DS, Pokémon Omega Ruby or Pokémon Alpha Sapphire onto the European Club Nintendo site from today (for the 3DS) or game launch for each game until January 12th, then you will be given a choice of receiving a free download code for several titles including Pokémon Art Academy as well as various other Nintendo games.

    Okay, Primal Groudon and Primal Kyorgre are Uber and banned. I can tell right away, those skills are way too overpowered for teams that rely on other types of whether. Hell, you could basically take Primal Kyorgre and take down most of a team that's fire, if they don't have any move tutor moves like thunderpunch

    Uh, yeah, Kyogre and Groudon already are Uber and banned.

    But that is really neat about the abilities. Do we know if they last for only a few turns, or are they permanent like older games?
