Unless Transporter is a feature that works without paying. Who knows.
EDIT: It probably won't. However, the site says Pokemon Bank will have a free trial, so there's that.
Transporter requires Bank. It said during the stream in fine print.
Yea, the site says that too. Still, the free trial means you can transfer it all without paying.

However long that free trial period is, it's definitely enough time to transfer all of your Pokemon to G6 in a (few?) day(s) without paying a thing I imagine, if that's all you plan on using it for.
I'm just wondering about that annual fee... hope it's absolutely minimal
And I wonder how developed their anti-hack system is...

Especially since it seems that the Poke Transfer app will transfer a box at a time, according to the site.
For people that haven't seen the details on the Kanto starter Mega Evolutions:
Mega Charizard:
- Still Fire/Flying
- Ability: Drought
- Increased Special Attack
Mega Venusaur:
- Grass/Poison
- Ability: Thick Fat
- Increased Defense & Special Defense
Mega Blastoise
- Water
- Ability: Mega Launcher(Increases power of Pulse moves)
- No stat change or no information about one.

You could try something like Pokecheck.
Also it doesn't sound like there's really a penalty, you just can't use it with Pokemon it considers illegal:

I am loving this. I still get to transfer all of my Pokemon, AND hacked Pokemon are blocked! ^-^
Cool, then I won't really care.

I recently transferred 4 boxes of Ditto from Gen IV to Gen V.
I'm glad that this time we won't have to play a stupid minigame. I NEVER WANT TO SEE THOSE BUSHES EVER AGAIN.

New Pokemon Alert!
For anyone wanting confirmation(such as myself which is why I found this out), it's in the Direct video at 15:11. It's there for almost no time at all.

But I don't transfer all of my Pokemons, I breed the ones I want that aren't available in my version and transfer the level 1's.

I'm wondering, do people think this was a mistake resulting from shoddy editing or an intentional easter egg left in by Nintendo/Game Freak/TPCi?
You're killing me Dawg.

Here's hoping that the black part of its face is a beak and it's part of a Griffon line.
So if you have a chlorophyll Venusaur holding its megastone, and sun gets taken off the field, you can mega evolve it and now it has thick fat. Or if solar power Charizard loses sun, it can set it up again for the rest of the team before it faints. This does open a few new strategy doors instead of just something like megamawile getting stronger and just going nuts

Considering how we saw Skiddo all the way back when Gogoat was revealed hiding out in the background of Lumiose City, it wouldn't surprise me if they throw things in like this. In one of the pre-BW trailers, for example, you could see the overworld sprite of Krokorok (we only knew Sandile then) hanging out in the Pokemon Musical Hall, and another screen of a Musical had Throh with its face hidden beneath a smiley-face mask.
Not that I know of-
...!
OH SHIT!
IT'S PIKABLU!!
THE LEGEND IS REAL! IT REALLY EXISTS!!!
Yes, it is confirmed you can get one of them early on in the game. They all have Mega forms too.

So wait... Mega Charizard is still just Fire/Flying? Useless confirmed.
Awwwwwwwww yiss!
Poor Fennekin, now even less people are gonna pick him than there already were.

Mega Venusaur appears to be the only one of these that will be useful, it loses its Fire and Ice weaknesses and gets a boost to both defenses.

Just loaded up SS to be reminded that I never did get Groudon, which means I didn't beat Red. Team is in the middle of training, which means ranging from 50-67. Nowhere near enough for the high 80s. Took care of business though.
Rare candy on Mewtwo, that's Psychic learned. Went into battle, OHKO Pikachu. Unlucky, kid. Switch to Skarmory and laid down two layers of Spikes before Snorlax's Blizzards finished the poor lad. Mewtwo came back, this time for good. 3 Amnesias made him immortal from special moves, and 2 X Specials and 2 X Defends sealed the deal. Why is this worth telling? Despite being the original uber, I didn't think I would sweep the hardest trainer in the game under leveled by up to 18 levels. But I have never bothered using X items before, probably at all. I will in future though.
Which original starter to pick, hm...
Edit:
Picked Bulbasaur. My teams always lack grass types.
Went to get Groudon. Zangoose. Crush claw, lowered defence. Groudon rests. Crush claw, lowered defence. False swipe. Dusk ball.
And that's how my easiest legendary catch went.

Wow, I wake up to some great news! Kanto starters get mega-evolutions, AND you get access to one of them during the story of X and Y? Nice!
Also, we have a way to transfer Pokemon from Gen V over to this new gen? That's tremendous! I'm eager for more details, if any other details are needed.
We're close to one month away before X and Y hits store shelves, and now that transferring is confirmed, the only thing I need to know now is version exclusive Pokemon.

Wait, what? People think MegaCharizard won't be used when he has Drought and the only other non-Ubers Drought user is Ninetales? wut

Stealth Rock will totally wreck Charizard down to 1/2 health before he has a chance to Mega Evolve. Plus, Stealth Rock is getting a Mega Evolution too, Mega Stealth Rock.
I laughed how in the video Ishihara talked about Charizard being the strongest evolution of the strongest Pokemon...

People use Volcarona despite Stealth Rock, and Volcarona isn't packing Drought.

Because Volcarona has really great moveset, something that puts the zard to shame.
Maybe if Zard can dance with quivers.

Even though he's still not Dragon, I thought of this when seeing Mega Charizard...

Not if you lead with it. It has drought. That makes him lead material.

Not necessarily. A leading Charizard is sending it to the death trap because everyone and their mother carries Stone Edge or Rockslide, hell even Thunder. And this Megazard lacks a held item to keep itself alive.
Random Pokemon question: if a Pokemon is already at level 100 with no EVs (any of the level 100 promos, basically), would gaining EVs from battles actually have any effect on it's stats? I would a assume no, but I figured I'd ask here anyway.
Also: ugh I have to finish White version so I can bring my guys from Pearl/HeartGold up to X. Such a pain.

Why does Magnezone suddenly has gender?
Depends on generation.
Nothing happens pre Gen-V, but Gen V fixes it by letting you alter EVs even on a level 100 mon since stat updates happens after battle rather than level up. So yeah, you can EV train Arceus now.

Huh, interesting, thanks!
