It's almost as if they edited the footage

Wasn't it posted a while ago that Kyurem's White forme got at least some sort of boost to its special attack? If it got 150 special attack, that puts it well into its own category.
From the calcs I did earlier for Freeze Shock, it seems that the Kyurem forms got a major power-buff compared to Normal Kyurem which already has Base 130 Attack Stats and if they are Base 150 now like speculated, when something has a stronger Outrage than Haxorus, I think Scarf is definitely a viable option.
Base 150 SpA Draco Meteors with Fire/Fighting coverage both with 100+ Base Power...god that sounds dirty.
Don't forget it could have a Choice Band and 252 EVs. That would be a clean KO from Weak Kyurem on Lonely 0 Def Reshiram, while 0 SAtk Reshiram would do 43-50% to Kyurem.
I really doubt that they would go to such lengths to stage a one hit ko
That's quite impressive. But I think Outrage would be a better comparison, as it will see more use.

Banned deucer.
Just throwing it there: I think the Overdrive modes are active as long as Kyurem has Ice Burn/Freeze Shock in its moveset.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm quite sure that all the footage we've seen so far doesn't contraddict this theory. Black Kyurem was in Overdrive mode right when it was sent out at the start of the battle and used Freeze Shock.
Assuming those moves are competitively useless, that's essentially a movepool restriction in exchange for whatever the Ovedrive modes do.
Considering that Freeze Shock did so much damage against Reshiram, unless it was purposely staged in order to land that OHKO, it's not out of the question that it could have been thanks to an Attack boost.
If it's something like an auto-Swords Dance/Nasty Plot then being restricted to 3 moves wouldn't be so bad. Kyurem can still get perfect coverage in 3 moves anyway and if it indeed does get a Atk/Sp.Atk boost then Power Herb becomes a lot more viable since it could practically OHKO everything with its other moves at +2 (maybe even at +1), making LO not that needed.

New images from Pokemon Japan newsletter email. Is there any new info from any of them?
Well near the bottom it looks like a new mini game for the Dream World, and it has Joltik in the corner, so they might be releasing (finally) some 5th gen Pokemon?New images from Pokemon Japan newsletter email. Is there any new info from any of them?
It doesn't look like a new DW game, it looks like a standard Pokemon site game, all the current DW minigames have 2 sprites in boxes, the Pokemon you tucked in and the Pokemon you're trying to befriend, this doesn't have either.
If someone can translate it we might learn something new but I highly doubt that Joltik game has anything to do with the Global Link.
This means there are 6 buildings in this general area of the city, but it seems as though the city is at least a bit bigger.
I WANT THOSE KEYCHAINS!!! But I think if you import the games, you won't get the preorder bonuses. :(
The keychains look nice but I miss the figurines they gave you when you preordered Pt/HG/SS =(. I wanted a zekrom figurine but that never happened.
Actually I checked the police officer near Nimbasa and he looks pretty different. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong guy? Also, Team Plasma's hair looks more like the hair of these dudes.We've seen the new "team". It's not Aqua or Magma, they have black uniforms and ALL of them have red hair.
Here's the pic:

Sorry if this has already been asked, but do we know if there will be any new dream world abilities introduced with this game?? It would be nice if pokemon with levitate had a second ability. Bronzong gets TWO other abilities to choose from, so why can't other levitate users also have a few more options??
Can anyone who can read Japanese confirm from the Kyurem fighting video if it still has pressure as it's ability?
where can i find this "nimbasa" pic everyone is talking about?
The officers near Nimbasa looks older (and fatter), they are definately different from him.
Can anyone identify the text in the picture?
I don't know, they look pretty similar to me.
They're still thinner, as far as I can tell. Though, that could just be newer sprites.
Well they could look to be thinner due it being a screen capture of a video. Though I will also admit they also look similar to the Rocket sprites from HG/SS.

(I would just post a pic like I did with the first, but that's one image altogether, so I would have to crop it and upload again. Yeah I'm lazy.)
It's a well known fact that every cop in the world is bound to be fat.
I can safely say that Levitate Pokémon will never get a DW ability, besides Bronzor / Bronzong, because they had Heat Proof and Levitate in D/P. They are the only Levitate Pokémon with a second ability, so you can't compare them.
