As long as the change make us get flawless Pokemon somehow easier (which I doubt) I'm fine with my 'wasted flawless'.
I'm betting Coro Coro won't leak anything that will prove/disprove the fansites. Probably Tabunne, Darumakka, Basurao, the 3 monkeys and Doruzyu to complete the "7 new Pokemon" a month ritual. Maybe Desukan and Denchura as well.
EDIT:
EDIT:
This. Then maybe my loved Ampharos will get improved (more bulk FTW?).
Corocoro releases when? The 12th right? We should get at least one page leaked by tomorrow if that's the case. :/
I hope the first three are false. I think it would be best if they left that alone, but who am I to say so. Why would you change Evs, Ivs, and Base stats?
I can see base stats being changed for previous pokemon, like Cubic said. The ones that would be completely useless otherwise unless they got an evolution, including some three stage evolutions (Like the far outclassed Pidgeot). But if by base stats they mean like the Special split after R/B then we might be in for something really big. I doubt they would condense the stats as all; they changed it for a reason.
Anyone have an idea on how the mechanics of base stats could be changed?

these. are. false. i hope.
i think gf is trying to actually make us "like" the pokemon to be stronger, rather than liking the pokemon for being strong.
GF, THROW US A FUCKING BONE AND DO SOMETHING THAT'S ACTUALLY GOOD FOR COMPETITIVE BATTLING!!!!
September 15th, so I'd start expecting on Friday.
>Implying that GameFreak hasn't done anything to benefit the competitive battling community
Hahah, Pokéjungle is a smug bastard, he got legit info about the third legendary's typing and is now using it as incentive for donations. I don't see anything wrong with it though (on the contrary!), I just find it funny that it's actually working.
Yes, but I think they at least have a bit more credibility than Pokéxperto. I mean, even if the Spanish site is correct, they aren't being sincere about their sources. "Lol I have an early copy of the game", yeah no.
Well, while it happened for different reasons, we had the GSC/Advance split, after all.
IIRC, CoroCoro leaks start to appear around the 11th or so.
other than that, i think that the physical/special split was good towards competitive battling.
It's never leaked that early. The earliest might maybe be a scrap or two on Saturday, but more likely Sunday. Fuller scans on Monday, with high quality scans on either Tuesday (15th in Japan) or Wednesday.
So the Pokemon would have a threesome in the Daycare? Why Gamefreak, why?
Anyway, I hope the first three are fake as well, but Float seems like a good replacement for Cut or Defog and could do things like get you over quicksand or get you over mud that would be hard to walk through, otherwise. The latter would make it so that it isn't necessary, like Defog and Flash, but still useful to get you through the game.
In battle, I would think it would give you Levitate but we already have that in the form of Telekinesis.
Edit: @Corocoro: Wasn't it supposed to issue early this month because the games are coming out?

Eh...
You couldn't trade your Gen 2 Pokemon to Gen 3, either. I think most of it was hardware reasons, but I'm sure the system overhaul didn't help matters.
Not really. CoroCoro itself has released early for a few months (12th, I think one time at the 8th?) for special issues I guess, which would of course result in earlier leaks, but generally it's ~2 or 3 days before.
I remember checking this before. I could be wrong, I guess during the Platinum or HGSS period, but should still be about right.
