That isn't what I suggested or why I pointed it out (It's also not about those pokemon using the items, rather it's that said pokemon may want a different item), but to you're question; why not?

For the facial hair part...remember that these people are still just ten to twelve year olds (maybe older like BW?). Although I wouldn't rule out facial hair (like a mask), it's not as likely.
Also, will the mother/father change based on the skin color we choose? I guess adoption makes sense but it'd be a cool feature if your family was "customizable" too.
to be fair; it's "harsh sunlight" that drys it out. I'm no biologist, but there's probably such a thing as too much sunlight for real-world reptiles as well, perhaps especially in the case of one that's good at absorbing it.
Intimidate probably also had a lot to do with it, it's partially the reason Hitmontop is amongst the top 3 most used Pokemon in the whole of VGC/Doubles format and even things like Gyarados and Scrafty see massive usage it made it very much difficult to use physical attacks effectively.
The Explosion nerf was inevitable, it was incredibly broken in Gen 4 to the point Doubles matches literally were a case of who could blow up their Metagross successfully first without hitting a Protect and near everything ran it even if they should've had no reason to.
Hey, everyone! Guess what we got! That's right- a whole new batch of potential leaks from Pokebeach!

don't discuss it until something corroborates it
(discuss on #orangeislands if you want)
Yeah, I'm not disputing that explosion was broken in doubles but it was perfectly fine in singles, now no one uses explosion in singles due to the nerf; hypothetically surf could go from a powerful water STAB in singles to completely outclassed in singles because it was too powerful on doubles
Also this is a bit old but I haven't seen it discussed: http://www.gamesradar.com/pokemon-xy-why-director-masuda-himself-answers/ Yoshida implies a fighter-mage-thief theme for the starters final forms?

Fun fact: It is never actually said anywhere in the games that the protagonist is 10 years old. It is only said in the anime that trainers are 10 years old and it was implied in earlier games that 10 is the earliest that you can get your first Pokemon. This contradicts itself since you see youngsters, preschoolers (who say that they are 4), and tubers with Pokemon in the games.
I find the complaining I've seen about the Exp. All potentially making the game too easy to be interesting. Horde Battles are a difficulty increase all by themselves, and they've specifically mentioned taking other steps to reduce the power of one person zooming through the game with a single 'mon. I really doubt this change was made without a lot of playtesting.
I had thought of them as being on par with the BST 600s (including the pseudo legends). Mega Garchomp shot that down though, so maybe they are supposed to compete with the likes of Mewtwo... wait, that doesn't clear it up either....

I believe we've been requested not to discuss this leak until it gets secondary confirmation of reliability.
Mega Evolution remains in effect for the whole battle.
Considering there's an upcoming TCG Fairy deck with Clefairy in it, I'm pretty sure that the Clefairy line's getting retconned. The only question is whether it will keep or forgo its Normal typing.
Does any1 think the Rng in the games will be changed?
If Exp. All works exactly like Exp. share but with everyone, doesn't that mean you can EV train 6 Pokemon at once?
More than likely. I highly doubt it will be the same method. Probably something more difficult.
It's hard to say whether Super Training will be the only way or not (I personally think pokemon will still yield EVs)
I have mixed feelings if Super Training is the only way. The upside is you can train for the specific EVs you want in-game; but that also means your pokemon won't naturally gain extra stats if you avoid super training (a challenge I guess?).
I like the new Exp All, it means it won't be a slog trying to level up all my pokemon as i play through the game (depending on how early we get it). They said EVs will be easier to see and can be gained from super training, so I assume they'll make them easy to remove as well. So hopefully Exp All won't mess up your EVs too bad
just put them in the battle subway and then check their stats, much quicker and easier.
Genius. I did something like that in 4th Gen by transferring them to PBR to mass check. I don't know why it never came to me to do that with the battle subway since it's the exact same concept. All those poor Audino.
Suprised no one is replying to this, as I'm pretty sure it hasn't been discussed yet. I think you're totally right, he pretty much confirms the old rpg staples.
I find it interesting that Auroros was the one that GF introduced with a type chart-defying move while Tyrantrum is the one whose flavor says that it can rip apart metal plates like paper with its teeth. Is it just me or does that imply Tyrantrum getting a similar move to Freeze Dry that's SE against steels?
