Commence brick-shitting in 3...2...Circle Throw...Go!
We've seen fainting animations, iirc
The horde battle with Zubats had them, for instance
I'm going to guess there are songs for Morning, Afternoon, and Night for each Route and Town since they seem to have done-away with Seasons.
Also, I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if they brought back the World Tournament and all the songs that came with it.
I would hope there would be slight variations on the Wild/Trainer Battles themes based on where you are on top of the Wild Double Battle and Horde Battle themes.
BW2 had around 170 songs so it's not too crazy for X/Y to have 200.
Except it has the same issue that normal giga impact does because 2 turns of Return would do more.
yea there is, you can see Conkeldurr slightly start to fall then it gets summoned back
It's only one on your team in all likliehood
They have the big MegaMewtwo vs MegaLucario artwork, and something that big would probably be listed under strategies
Yea totally blanked on that one, 4 Returns > 2 Giga Impacts
Yeah it just seems like mini-Kanghaskan duplicates the attack that big one uses. But still the applications are exciting.
...Didn't we have, like... 100 pages last week...
Or ofcourse evolving in battle!
Even though we don't know the stat changes, doesn't this make MegaKangaskhan stronger than every single physical attacker in Gen V? (Unless baby Kangaskhan's attacks are weaker)
It literally turns every pokémon she could at least 4HKO in Gen V into mere checks. She could even 3HKO Specially Defensive Skarmory with Double-Edge after SR

Number of posts per page went from 50 to 25.
EDIT 2: Calcs are right, I was just using Double-Edge as placeholder and did custom damage (doubled Return = 204).
If this is essentially doubling the power of attacks, I don't think Crush Claw would be worth it over Return (or Double-Edge for that matter). Return is doing so much damage I don't think it's necessary (and a risk even at 50%). Anyone curious what Return can do? Here are a few calculations:
Finally, keep in mind this is superior to Huge Power, as boosting the base damage of a move affects the damage calculations more than simply doubling the Attack stat.
I'm curious what the fans who drove the fiction of Cubone's origins are going to think now that baby khan is out of the pouch.

- 252+ Atk Kangaskhan Return vs. 252 HP / 64 Def Kyurem-B: 276-325 (60.79 - 71.58%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
- 252+ Atk Kangaskhan Return vs. 252 HP / 184+ Def Gliscor: 190-225 (53.67 - 63.55%) -- 85.94% chance to 2HKO
- 252+ Atk Kangaskhan Return vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Hippowdon: 189-223 (45 - 53.09%) -- 0.39% chance to 2HKO
- 252+ Atk Kangaskhan Return vs. 120 HP / 0 Def Conkeldurr: 307-363 (80.57 - 95.27%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
- 252+ Atk Kangaskhan Return vs. 248 HP / 176+ Def Cloyster: 144-171 (47.52 - 56.43%) -- 31.25% chance to 2HKO

Only if Kangaskhan-M keeps its base Attack and its baby's moves do the same damage. No way in fuck that's going to happen, as it would essentially be a better Huge Power (breaking Subs and resists berries). If anything, it's going to have half the strength behind it, so... Max Atk Kangaskhan will have 95 Base = 317 stat x 1.5 = 475 stat = 167 Base Attack with 30 IV.
...Jesus, that's still too high. Maybe it's a 30% "boost"?
95 Base = 317 stat x 1.3 = 412 = 138 Base
Ehhhh. 105/138/80/40/80/90=533. Might work.
How come? According to the main site, the damage formula is
BaseDamage = ((((2 × Level) ÷ 5 + 2) * BasePower * [Sp]Atk) ÷ [Sp]Def) ÷ 50 + 2
It seems to me boosting either the BP or the Attack does the same thing.
Booo, who'd have ever wanted that
That's without considering the moves' behaviour. Are they treated as multihit attacks (If one misses, the other one misses too) or can baby Kangaskhan's attack hit while MegaKanghaskhan's doesn't? Can each move trigger its secondary effect? (Thank Arceus she doesn't learn Scald)
There are a lot of questions now
Uh, 31 is the highest IV you can have so why did you calculate it for 30 IV?
Considering Kangaskhan's movepool is choke-full of 100% accuracy moves, I don't think that really matters.
...Unless BabyKhan's moves are set to max 50% accuracy to make up for it. Now that would suck.

Because 31 IV would have 476 Attack. I wanted to be ~accurate~
