Smogon banned Aegislash.... This is literally why I hate that site. They'll sometimes ban things that don't really need to be banned.

And with Aegislash getting banned Mega Metagross has become even scarier.

I've always thought Smogon was full of bullshit. The movesets they put up can be pretty fantastic, sure, but I have never once, ever cared for their "rules."

But Mega Metagross is almost sure to be an insta-ban once ORAS release at least.

The only smogon rules I really liked were sleep clause and endless battle clause. What these clauses are speakers for themselves.

I'm never joining smogon...

They're even trying to completely ban Gengarite from the game. Smogon has really become crap this gen. I mean I can understand banning Mega Kangaskhan and Gengar to Ubers, but Aegislash is pure stupidity.

They can't even just ban the use of Speed boost on Blaziken's because they claim that to be too "complex"

And you can't get the ones exclusive to another game unless you trade with a friend or use the GTS, Pokemon Bank is USELESS with item transfer between the two games, I hate that so much e_e.

I've never been on Smogon, never will :lol.

Pinsirite and Heracronite is being distributed after GameStop stores around August 18 - August 31. Pinsirite guess to people with a copy of Pokémon Y and Heracronite for people with X. That's something.

I'd still really like a spare Heracrosite :lol

But their rules are purely arbitrary...you don't need to follow them.

Smogon even says that the use of their rules are completely optional and are in no way official rulings.

I don't follow them. I just find them very stupid aside from the ones like Sleep Clause, Evasion Clause etc.

Pokéball Vivillon is available for online distribution in North America! Download it now!!!

Wow... It's only available for the next week!

Definitely need to get mine when I get home tonight.

While I am going to get it next time I'm near my 3DS, I am so glad I didn't get caught up in collecting all of Vivillon's forms :lol
Would've driven me mad xD

I got a Modest one with 31 IVs in Special Attack. Thank goodness for the Ability Capsule because it has Shield Dust instead of Compoundeyes.

*reads post*
*proceeds to do a spit take*

I want a Pokeball Vivillon :(

How many Vivillon forms are there now? I have 15

There's 20 counting the Fancy and Pokeball ones. 40 if you want to count Shinies separately.

If I had two copies of the game I'd give you one. :(

I only wanted it for data :lol. Did you want it for data or to have one of each?

Hatched a shiny Yanma with the right things I needed! I wasn't even hatching for a shiny and I got it on the 9th egg. :lol

Lucky...

Also named it Drake Zector because it has the colors of it anyway.

I really want to read the Pokemon ruby and sapphire manga. The shop in my area that sells manga has a ton of chapters of that series, but i don't feel comfortable reading it unless i read the first part.

The Pokeball Vivillon will be given away to you UK players at the end of the month.

Edit: August's Corocoro is beginning to leak. It hasn't been posted on Serebii yet but Animenewsnetwork has posted it, but it reveals that Groudon and Kyogre do have a part in the next movie and won't end up like Ho-Oh and Lugia did.

I'm ready for New Mega Evolutions!

Lopunny and Altaria Mega Evolutions!

So Buneary's gonna be available in Hoenn?

Altaria is Dragon/Fairy and gets Pixilate
Lopunny is Normal/Fighting and gets Scrappy

Mega Salamence and it gets Aerilate.

Mega Salamence was a given since Metagross got a mega.

Not really. That's like saying all the Kanto Starters would get 2 Mega Evos because Charizard did.

Edit: You're given a Shiny Beldum in game!

Also let's not forget Tyranitar and Garchomp got megas too so mega Metagross and Salamence were a given since they are all Pseudo-legendaries. Now all that's left is Dragonite and Hydreigon.

So from what i can see we have the first bits of character customization from this game.
May looks cute. ^.^

Looks like it's just contest cloths.

And Goodra. Diancie already proved 6th gen mons can get Mega Evos.

Flygon is the only Gen 3 Dragon(Not counting Legends) that doesn't have a Mega Evo :mad:

This makes Klonoa very sad.


On a side note, Shiny mega metagross:

Also:

I really hope you can wear those outfits outside of contests, i highly doubt it but May looks so freaking adorable dressed like that and i want to use it outside of contests.

AND Zoroark because when Black and White 1 first came out the only way to obtain him was through a Gamestop event, so Zoroark should get a Mega Evolution also.
