Concerning the whole Sea Spirit Den thing, I too believe it will be event-activated.
I mean, Sinnoh Route 224 was kind of an anticlimax without Oak's Letter. If you tried to keep track of the Seagallop Ferries in FRLG, it would appear to be a couple of missing numbers, accounted for by the two events in Sevii Islands. Unova has a couple of places which appear to be dead ends until events are activated.
On the other hand, there are plenty of other completely dead ends in the series. The white rock outside Mossdeep Space Center. Pattern Bush. The underground tunnel between Celadon and Lavender in G/S/C. Scorched Slab. It wouldn't be too unlike GameFreak to make a mystery without any solution again.

My first impression is that it's Ghost type Curse + Grass type Soak, so 25% HP lost each turn and the target is now Grass type.About the new move Forest's Curse, read the description carefully.
That "as well" is intriguing. Does it mean it *adds* a grass-type without replacing the old one? How would it work against dual-types?
It could also mean "it changes the target's type into grass just like the user", but what about Smeargle?
Been a few photos of pants and hats but that's about it
When I'm looking at the whole mirror thing at Sea Spirit Den... I'm reminded of a certain spot where you had to close the lid on the DS to make progress. It wasn't even really hinted and I recall I only got through it by sheer accident.
I could see there being some obscure 3DS gimmick to use there.

^Is that even in the same cave?
Either way, I guess that if something ever is to appear there, it will probably appear in the mirror before it does in the "real world". Your mirror image will poke it somehow, triggering a battle. That trope is too obvious to avoid.

I was originally under the impression that the 3D function of the 3DS could be used actively to actually help progress the story. But I've not yet found anything to verify that ;_;
But slightly more relevant to the thread, I have tried and tried to keep up with all the stats getting released (that's what I'm in it for yup yup) and I have to say, it's been a lot to take in. I do really hope that one of the two type combos I originally wanted to guide a CAP in the direction of (Dragon/Fighting and Psychic/Poison) are on the way soon. Does anyone think there are more to come? Or have they already exhausted their new type combos for one generation?

Wait, I'm a complete idiot. I was adding the 450ish from the 3 pokedexs to 649 instead of only the new ones to 649.
Oops.
I thought it was. If it isn't, it's not that much of a difference.
There's plenty of stuff that could be done with it, really. I could iagine something like swapping places with your mirror image to allow you to search the other side, which isn't *quite* the same.
So Aura Sphere has 90BP, perfect accuracy and is a model Fighting-type move... So why did Focus Blast get the TM treatment?
I'll let you think about that one
What are the stats for dazzling gleam?
Are you sure there's no secondary effect? That sounds pointless next to Moonblast.
Flamethrower wasn't a TM until Gen III, and neither Thunderbolt nor Ice Beam were TMs in Gen II (there was a tutor for the 3 moves in Crystal tho, but the point stands).
Fairy's Shadow Ball, I'm guessing?
And how come Grass never got a 95 BP attack? The other main special elements did like Fire, Water, and Electric. Even Poison has one. Now Fairy comes in & gets not only a 95 BP attack, but an 80 BP one as well. Gamefreak picked favorites this gen!
Well, at least Shadow Ball had a secondary effect...this is more like special Fairy Strength, but even then Strength has applications outside of battle.
Yes but we're going by the standards set in Gen III when BoltBeamThrower moves getting TMs is the accepted norm
Grass was always intended to be more supportive in nature (see what I did there?), so Grass would get all those fancy status and pseudo status moves, as well as its own moderately powered draining move. At least Grass-type has its own Shadow Ball, but there just aren't any more offensive Grass-type moves without some serious drawback (not counting Seed Flare).
Btw: people should stop daydreaming about Fairy Togekiss. Now that Electric-types can no longer be paralyzed, Togekiss will have more checks and counters than ever before (Zapdos is gonna be the shit!).
Power whip doesn't have any drawbacks really. Or leaf blade... I guess the point stands for special grass moves though.
Dazzling Gleam probably has a better distribution and at the very least some pokemon that will have acces to it that can't learn Moonblast, probably many non-fairies like energy ball
Moonblast lowers SpA so if Togekiss gets it then it can do something good against all those electric switch ins...

I prefer bulkydos myself. Which doesn't really mind para but detests toxic.
