Please YES! If they do something like that, I'm going to travel the same day to Japan and buy every Corocoro magazine, find the person responsible for that section and become his slave for the rest of my life!Give me something so trollish like this and I don't care for the rest of my life anymore!

2 changes I can see with first glance is Seed Bomb over Woodhammer and Tbolt/HP Grass/TWave over Tailwind. Chesnaught doesn't like the recoil without insta recovery and any other option for Zapdos is superior since your team isn't that much slow. More details later that I'll have more time!

I support the idea of Alomomola-Amoonguss combo! It is too good and really frustrating for your opponent. But I have to say that I prefer special from physical Alomomola cause Scald-burns are even more frustrating and funny (yes I'm a horible person!). Physical Alomomola has a nice STAB priority, but you'll already have strong priority with Mamo and M-Absol. As for a spinner Foretress is probably the best choice but you might also consider Intimidate Hitmontop to add a nice STAB fighting move in the team or a defoger like Crobat or Eviolite Gligar since you don't have hazzards on your own (although you can always bounce them back)

With a fast look, I can see a big electric weakness and repeatable switch ins can wear down easily your team with no hazzars control. I do support the replacement of M-Aero with a spinner and since you'll have an empty mega slot maybe switch Crawdaunt for M-Absol. And since M-Absol can serve as your status bouncer you may find another fast specs user.

I had the chance to challenge the league only for 4 days cause the hours were around midnight for me and I didn't want to spend my friday/saturday nights waiting to challenge the leaders. I do agree that adding some other days/hours would be apreciated. Maybe an extra day only for rematches from the previous weekend?

Regarding the pseudo-legends, most of them are a almost weak with below average lvl up moves before their final form and are a pain in the @ss to train. But after that point they are pretty much wrecking balls! Imo Metagross was too much for that point of the game cause it has awesome typing and good lvl up moves. If we had access earlier to something like Dragonite it might be fine. But I still believe we are fine even with none available

I feel exactly the same regrets as you! Although I knew I wouldn't buy X or Y, I followed all the leaks to find out that they revealed almost the whole games. This time I might actually buy a new console for the games, but I am still willing to follow the leaks cause I love speculation conversations so much! But I might get disapointed if they leak many things and then go play the games. Damn it, I do not know what to do when the next corocoro comes out. Deep inside me I want to be another troll section from the magazine until I am ready for the real information

We need pokemon based on pegasus (and no, M-Absol is a death angel), a catapult pokemon (we have swords and cannons on pokemon, gimme more weapons!), an electric bulb, a car pokemon (goat riding is lame), a pokemon based on brain/neurotic system and a vampire pokemon! These ideas are definetely something GameFreak can come up with

For me Emboar's only problem is that it doesn't have access to STAB Reckless HJK (or just Jump Kick) or Drain Punch. It has to rely on other figting moves with drawbacks that hinder it and the lack of some recovery means that it has limited time to spam its other recoil moves. Also you now make me feel bad cause I was planing to make a team in OU around Emboar after the Easter holidays

It is true that Clafable has steal all the spotlight from other fairies in OU and Sylveon's usage will keep droping. But I completely disagree with its drop in UU cause then Flogress will be outclassed in every role, meaning it will have no place in UU. I have used both Sylveon and Flogress in their respective tiers (although I don't like and play UU that much) and there is no reason to use Flogress over Sylveon. Sylveon is a better CM user, has bulkier Wishes and can Baton Pass them, it tanks almost the same damage from both physical and special attacks due to higher hp, it deals way more damage thanks to Pixilate and can hit opponents through subs due to Hyper Voice! The only thing Flogress has is instant recovery in the form of Synthesis and some more Grass moves for attacking options. In conclusion, if Sylveon drop to UU it may become the new Clefable down there making other fairies drop in usage even though their current position is pretty solid.

That's wonderful! I haven't touched RU since early March and from the recent suspect test I heard only about Hoopa-U ban. Now I'm probably going to return to RU for a while for the sake of my beloved Escavalier ^.^

And then watch GameFreak making this move and give it to all Steel types except your beloved god Magnezone! 3;DMuahahahahahahahahaha

Although the drops and bans between tiers are made acording the usage stats, I want to discuss about the place of some pokemon that have decent usage in their respective tiers. Those are Klefki, Amoonguss and Escavalier. About Klefki I still can't understand why it has stayed in OU after the SwagPlay ban! Anytime I see a Klefki, after it sets its Screens or Spikes it is pretty much a death fodder or something to take some hits that none of its teamates wants to take. Prankster is a very strong ability combined with its movepool and its typing is really good, but I can see it working exactly the same in UU without creating any problems. I guess the not many recovery options is quite harsh for the Key pokemon in the hard hitting tier of OU. Also UU is already quite Stallish so I don't think its addition will overflow the glass. Second we have the stupidly good mushroom pokemon! I hate this thing with all my soul but I can't deny that is a good pokemon. From the quite few matches I have done in RU, I used this in combo with Alomomola for a strong defensive core! And it works very well even if you make a few missplays. I'd say Amoonguss should be banned from RU for the only reason that Tangrowth can still work as a good Regenarator core with Alomomola and we'll see less stall in the tier since the fungus has so many recovery options and can drag a match for many turns. Last but not least is one of my favorite, the knight based pokemon, Escavalier. My only problem about Escavalier is that it shares the same tier with another bug/steel pokemon, Durant. Although Durant doesn't provide the same bulk as Escavalier, it outclasses it as a set up user and as a better wallbreaker with its ability! I'd say either drop Esca from RU or ban Durant into BL2 so it can have more usage. PS: sorry if my post make the paragraphs connected, my phone does not synergize well...

Aside the starters speculation, what tms do you think will be added and which one will be removed? I bet that we'll get another fairy tm (maybe a physical one!), a special rock tm and another set up move. Other possible type moves are whatever type gym leaders we get. As for the tms that will be replaced, I can see Rock Tomb be removed since is inferior to Rock Slide/Stone Edge and there is Smack Down for early game. Payback also seems a good option to be replaced since it doesn't have many usages and I'm pretty sure GameFreak will understand the HUGE failure with Confide and keep it only in a few lvl up learnsets like they did with Work Up!

Do you know which Water starter should have been part fighting? Samurot! You know, that awesome looking samurai pokemon that everyone seems to forget? That one! Also I have to say that we most likely never get a Ghost type starter. Almost all Ghosts (I'd say all but not sure) have very creepy dex entries and they seem to be kind of rare in each region. It would look very akward to have your 1st pokemon something related to death/afterlife as your trusted partner...

Crashing hammer: Contact moves have a 10% chance to remove opponent's item (inspired from the crashing hammer item card from tcg that removes energy)

Am I the only one that wants pure type starters like gen 2? Imo the simpliest designs and types are always better from the complicated one!

I have seen people speculate with less than that As for the names of the legendaries I still believe that these will not be the ones. As I stated Gamefreak tends to give legendaries the same name for English and Japanese, and If these are trademarked only in japan they should have trademark it worldwide!

I just want to mention that if these are indeed the japanese names, the english names are gonna be the same! Until now all the box legendaries have the same name in japanese and english, as are most of the legendaries (exceptions are the lake trio, deoxys and some others that are still almost the same like Cresselia=Kureseria)

Easy reference from Another! Now I want a medal istead of an upvote

When a full pre-evolution monotype team humiliates you (not my battle, I happened to watch it) http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-360275389

Typhlosion demands from gamefreak to give it Earth Power!!! How in the earth the coral pokemon can learn EP but the VOLCANO pokemon can't? Escavalier should learn Extremespeed. Its pokedex entry states that it flies in high speed and I can't see it fly in high speed with its base 20 speed. Heliolisk should learns Solarbeam. It has the ability Solar Power and even has helios (sun) in its name... Victreebel, Cradily, Leafeon and maybe Leavany should learn Leech Seed. They are the only grass type that can't learn the move for no particular reason (Amoonguss can't learn either but fuck this mushroom. It's already too good) Charizard should learn Acrobatics in a way that is legal with Belly Drum! I just want to troll with Bellyzard Sitrus Berry, that's all (note that Charizard could learn Acrobatics from an event, but it can't be bred) Aurorus MUST learn Power Gem! It has FREAKING GEMS on its body! And last Delphox should learn Thunderbolt. For some odd reason it can learn Shock Wave but not Thunderbolt... Edit: And Lapras!

Aura Sphere > Dark Pulse almost every time on M-Blastoise. Dark Pulse does have some niche to hit SE the various psychic types in uu, but Water Pulse is neutral to all of them so you can still deal some good damage to them. Aura Sphere on the other hand can hit SE Crawdaunt as you stated, which is a huge threat and can deal with special defensive Empoleon and can almost ensure the KO on Hydreigon. (252+ SpA Mega Launcher Mega Blastoise Aura Sphere vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Hydreigon: 322-380 (99 - 116.9%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO). It also 2HKO M-Aggron, OHKO Cloyster, Lucario & Sharpedo and has a small chance to 2HKO Porygon2. And to wrap this up, Dark Pulse might give an unwanted att boost to the Justified users that lurk in uu.

I bet we'll get a fairy pseudo legendary this generation!

Brother or sister for Rival! I'd like to see for the 1st time in pokemon that we have a sibling and begin our journey together. Imagine if the brother/sister was older than the protagonist and was annoyed that we eventually start at the same time our journey. He/She will try to stop you all the time and will be angry whenever you do something better than him/her. But throughout the game he/she will show the hidden love and compasion for the protagonist and acknoledges him/her at the end. Edit: Wow, I am not the only one who wants this
