Ahahaha, finally! Some way to increase IVs! I can't tell you how happy I am to see this change. I've hated the IV system for so long so finally getting a way to work around it is wonderful. I am really just brimming with happiness right now, holy shit.
IF WE CAN FINALLY CONTROL IVS THEN ALL MY IMPERFECT 5 IV SHINY MONS WILL FINALLY BE VIABLE FOR COMPETITIVE PLAY THIS IS THE BEST DAY EVER

Is confirmed that it's IVs instead of EVs?
The abilities really are incredible. Compared to things like... Sweet Scent, or Swarm, it seems pretty much every ability we've got could have its uses competitively.
It *definitely* sounds like they mean IV's, since base stats would be weird (and they mentioned them in the text) and EV's have already been acknolwedged via super training. I like the limitation on it, though, since it sounds like a total grindfest (level 100, then bottlecaps). I'm sure I've some older 'mons who could use a slight edit to their IVs.
I wonder if you'll be able to do it point-by-point, or lower them, for Hidden Power purposes?
And the Global Link stuff also suggests that the "host" competitions could be huge, if they're implementing actual points for larger tourneys. Sounds a lot like an actual indirect acknowledgement of what is easily the biggest non-vgc format out there - i.e., us! I wonder if someone can leave them up indefinitely, without having a 3DS on all the time?

quote from the official site:
Pokémon grow stronger by raising their levels and increasing their base stats. However, their power is still affected by the individual strengths innate to each Pokémon. Now, with Hyper Training, Pokémon that have grown to Lv. 100 will be able to increase their individual strengths, which has never been possible before.
With Hyper Training, you can increase the strength of the Lv. 100 Pokémon you’ve been adventuring with!
So yes, it is
They already changed the HA of Zapdos, Scolipede and Chandelure from gen 5 to 6. So why not?
You can plug in the Pikachu they show into the trailer into an IV calc and see that it has garbage IVs and no EVs. The next image shows it with straight 31s.
Every single leap between generations has given old Pokemon new abilities so a few will probably get some new ones.
Is it just me, or does it look like Mudsdale has a signature move? It hits Togedemaru super-effectively, which strongly suggests that it's a Ground-type move, and the animation was horseshoe-shaped.
They did that a lot in gen 6 as well, though more so with exclusive moves than just abilities.
I hope this IV modifying thing lets you change stuff like hidden power as well, otherwise breeding/soft resetting for that is going to be just as annoying as before
We can finally use our ingame teams!

Awwww man, cool! Thanks!
I just hope they have something that can change natures of Pokemon now.
In Dragon Quest, you can change the natures/ personalities of the characters by reading certain books.
The fact they mentionned level 100 implies it's EV and not IV ... ?
YUP!!
Using some sort of medals we are now able to increase the IVs of our Pokémon when they reach lvl. 100, doing the extreme training. OMG this is the best, I have A LOT of legendaries from previous generations with trash IVs that im willing to use now.
No, it's IVs, for sure:
Ahora, gracias al Entrenamiento Extremo, los Pokémon que hayan alcanzado el nivel 100 podrán mejorar también sus fortalezas individuales (IVs), algo que era impensable hasta el momento.
¡Haz que tus compañeros Pokémon de nivel 100 se hagan incluso más fuertes gracias al Entrenamiento Extremo!
Sorry about the language, I'm way too excited right now to search it in english, but they are talking about IVs.
Yep, cartridge has never been easier. 5 IV was already easy but I had so many imperfect shiny mons that it was really putting me off using the masuda method; now you can guarantee the first shiny you hatch with two perfect parents will be 6 IV.
The only thing with raising IVs is how potentially difficult could be.
First of all... you do need to have them at Level 100. I don't mind as much, but there better be a way to train on par with XY's restaurant.
Plus, how hard will the Bottle Caps be to get? I'd assume they'd be battle facility, and how much would they actually increase IVs by? Straight to perfect? Just by 1 or 5? Will they affect multiple stats at once?
Either way, just being able to change IVs period is amazing news

Yes, but only after reached the Lv. 100
But, FINALLY GUYS!
I really hope Wimpod gets Belly Drum.
No, it seems to be based off of a Wharf Roach.
Also, does anyone know what kind of fruit Bounsweet is based off of? I'm just curious.
To maximize the IVs, we'll need an item (must be rare) and a level 100 Pokémon.
Let's hope that Alola will have an area to leveling. Or something similar to X/Y restaurants.

It looks more like a trilobite... Strange that it isn't a fossil Pokemon though.
I really hope some of these new abilities get retconned and distributed a little bit. Some of them have been incredible. Gen 7 is basically "Gen where the Abilities went crazy", which makes sense considering last gen we had a huge power jump with Megas.
Looking at the Bewear, its ability is a shittier version of Fur Coat... Why even bother and just not give it Fur Coat? It's not like Normal/Fighting needs more weaknesses? Mudsdale is awesome though. This trailer had far more stuff than I expected to be honest. I also really like the Triage ability too, let's hope some of our Medic Mons get this!
