Already happened with Assist Spinda. Flareon gets STAB but he has virtually the same physical defenses. Just for fun though:
252Atk Choice Band Flash Fire Flareon (+Atk) V-create vs 252HP/252Def Water Absorb Vaporeon (+Def): 76% - 90% (357 - 420 HP). Guaranteed 2HKO.
252Atk Choice Band Flash Fire Flareon (+Atk) V-create vs 252HP/252Def Leftovers Hippowdon (+Def): 110% - 130% (466 - 549 HP). Guaranteed OHKO.
252Atk Choice Band Flash Fire Flareon (+Atk) V-create vs 252HP/252Def Eviolite Dusclops (+Def): 101% - 120% (289 - 342 HP). Guaranteed OHKO.
252Atk Choice Band Flash Fire Flareon (+Atk) V-create vs 252HP/252Def Eviolite Chansey (+Def): 136% - 160% (961 - 1132 HP). Guaranteed OHKO.

Game is only 4 months off. We still know nothing about anything.
If this were any other game I'd think a delay was coming.

Luckily, Game Freak's real consistent with Pokemon main game releases, JP and US.
October is more than four months away. Winter just ended. Don't scare me like that.Game is only 4 months off. We still know nothing about anything.

Dub just aired first ep of N arc. I must say I'm surprised that they're catching up. Remember when the gap was years?

I believe that once The Pokémon Company took over, they had to actually get multiple episodes per week to get to our current situation. Good thing they did that too.

They're not really catching up, so much as the start of the N arc feels really recent.

What used to take its spot? Was it a new release? *doesn't get on sales trends*
This one just works too well! XD I really need to rewatch the first couple movies again.

The dub has had the same 'delay' since the beginning of the Black and White series of I think 12 weeks.
I was going to be, but I don't think it'd have ended well

Well most usually black-out in regards to the usual discrepancy between japanese and western releases, but this time around that will likely be all of 1-3 days.
There usually isn't much media released before the games themselves.
The real hard part has always been the insane dump of everything in the game on Serebii the week the game is released in Japan. I found it impossible to ignore all of that for another 6 months while waiting for the game to be localized.
Now that it's worldwide simultaneous release, I'll definitely be avoiding all of that hysteria during launch week. Sorry Serebii!
This will be the first time since gen II that I'll be running into wild Pokemon in the game that I've never seen before. Looking forward to it.

Main Pokemon Games in CoroCoro are always pretty much info released close to the release, usually it's the May Issue (released in April) that actually starts revealing stuff, and then it comes out in September. With Black and White, at this point in time we only had a few screens, and didn't know anyone but Zorua and Zoroark.

Still, it's interesting they've gotten this close. I wonder if they'll go near once XY releases.
Speaking of which, what is the gap between the anime's "Gen VI" to the game release? What was the gap between Best Wishes and Gen V?
For me, I prefer knowing what to know before starting the game. It makes me enjoy the game more.
I wonder what's in store for Coro Coro this may.

Going by this metric im gonna expect more details this month (june issue)
Well there won't be that long a gap between Japanese and western versions now so you won't be away long
I just hope I can get the stuff up in time for people to use it

Hey guys, let's talk about Pokemon designs, especially the new gens, since they're the ones that fit here. As in, designs that actually had something being thought of instead of being "just drawn". I know a lot of people who hate new gens don't post here (you know them), I guess they think this place is a hivemind, but still, I just want to post some of these stuff because it gives some clarity to their design.
Let me start with this guy.
For some odd reason people scorn Klinklang. While he's not one of my favorites, I don't see any reason to give hate to it. It's a very neutral (but smart) design. If anything, I'd say it's smarter than the likes of Magneton or Dugtrio by actually changing the supposed "repetition" it has.
As the idea of the design though - I like it. See, when you build something using gears, you don't technically replace it. Usually simply adding a new gear on top of an existing one works, and that's how Klinklang looks like. You can still see the looks of Klink and Klang in it. The "spike wheel" at the below may seem off, but I think if viewed at a different angle it'd look fine.

It's not lazy when the evolution makes sense and hell, they actually put an effort not to make it look copy-paste unlike MAGNETS or MOLES.
Yeah, I think I'll do a blackout starting in September so I don't get bombarded by information in the weeks leading to launch.

I am on one, but just by posting on this thread I know about a possible new type that may have been leaked. Maybe I should stop coming to this thread for a while

When did the version-exclusive mons get shown in nico?
It took a few days
The Pokemon Company is on a media blackout for next gen.
I'm realistic about my limitations, I don't have near the mental fortitude required to not obsessively dig through every sliver of information we have.
Besides going on a blackout would mean never visiting serebii on a regular basis which isn't going to happen for me as I need to check it regularly for various info like upcoming events or when the next volume of the signapor edition of Pokemon Adventures is going to come out.
Even if I tried to go on a blackout online I'd still find out stuff anyhow thanks to the gaming magazines I read and the podcasts I listen too. Not finding out stuff like Newtwo would be virtually impossible for me.

Whoops, meant Coro Coro. Doesn't the magazine state some version exclusives before, like Braviary and Mandibuzz?
Before launch, we only really had Gothitelle and Reuniclus revealed as version exclusives

Oh I see. Darn :/
All this lack of info is making me poke-hungry

As much as I love surprises in my games, I'm pretty sure we won't be going into this thing blind for the most part. We'll probably get some info on the basic wild Pokémon around, and that's it. I'm just wondering how gen VI is going to tie into the anime once this Orange Island Decolora Adventures is finished. Who knows? Maybe they'll finally not make Ash the main protagonist of this one.
Not likely unfortunately.

Do we know yet ifX and Y will feature random battles?

Bet on it. There will definitely be random battles in a mainline Pokémon game.

I hope not, that could make or break whether I buy the game or not. Skipped Black/White 2 so was hoping to get back into the series with them.
I guess you can consider this one less game you have to buy then.

After re-watching the trailer, I think you're probably going to skip this one. There's still long grass in the overworld, and the battle theatre is still aesthetically similar, so the random battles are probably the same as ever.
In my opinion it seems like a relatively silly thing to cause you to skip great games, though. BW2 were arguably the best in the series (and objectively the best from a mechanical standpoint), so it's a shame that you missed them.
