Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Pokemon Black & White, aka Gen 5. Coming to Japan in Fall 2010.

I think Espeon would still use Psychic (same EBP when you take accuracy into account), Jolteon would still use Thunderbolt, Vaporeon would still use Surf, Leafeon would still use Leaf Blade, Umbreon would still use Payback, and Glaceon would still use Ice Beam. The only one that's better on is Flareon, and it would still be unusable (Flareon is bad).
I'll be replying to both of these posts with a general type structure in my response, but if something specifically mentioned in your post comes up chances are I'm referring to you.
About the glitching, we simply need to analyze what Porygon's predecessor are. Porygon's evolutions are failed experiments initially meant to be able to adapt to a new environment. Porygon2 failed because it couldn't fly in space, but was given an ability like trace, something that represented it's ability to adapt. Same with Porygon-Z (to an extent), but Adaptability/Download are on the more offensive side (which isn't a problem, as it complements his stat distribution really nicely). The question I offer up, on this completely speculated (but not exactly a bad idea~) of an evolution is, how can we have an ability that represents his ability to adapt, but at the same time represents his glitchyness (not necessarily literally glitchy but with the idea that Porygon was meant for X environment and failed horribly, more so than the previous ones)? It would probably be something thats lets him adapt but has a very easily poked hole, maybe something along the lines of Color Change. I don't mean he should change type, but something as flawed as Color Change that still presents the ability to adapt and, is in itself, very useful yet still very flawed and easy to work your way around. Maybe a Conversion2 esque ability.
Running with the taunt related discussion, I wish Magic Coat reflected it back. It's not used but a whole lot of Pokemon, and would give Smeargle a little bit more use against faster taunters.
You know, they may have kept that out of the what we have seen thus far for the sole reason of not wanting to reveal any new Pokemon or even any of the pokemon that may be available in that region. I would assume the shots are at the beginning of the game, and in Gen4, near the very beginning, we didn't see any old Pokemon whatsoever.
You mean like Porygon in Pokemon Snap? I always liked Porygon better dark green than pale pink, although the origional Pory is one of my favorites.
Maybe there is some kind of war or something, or maybe just Silph being funny, but they should make a Porygon adapt at survival (lol, now that I think about it, it seems like WallE). Origional meant to aid Police in ending crime, this Porygon escaped/disappeared on a surveillance mission.
It might work.....but it would probably be too difficult to sort through this idea. I keep getting these great ideas and realize: Porygon is computer Programming, not a robot. And apparently, is unable to survive outside of Cyberspace.
You know, they could just use Zoroark/Zorua/Pikachu/any of the other 495 Pokemon that have been revealed. Pokemon walking behind you seems like something they're only going to put in remakes/third games like the Battle Fronteir.
That would make sense, splitting from Porygon2. Trace with even more bulk would certain qualify for an OU tank.
Although ideally, I'd like to see some other monsters get evos.
Farfetched plz =)
Personally i think it's going to be a car. Though i hope it isn't as an 11 year old driving a car? I don't think so...
The bike is just so original, maybe a different type of bike like in R/S/E...
Meybe they might bring back the skateboard from G/S beta?
What? They haven't mentioned anything like a new vehicle, to my knowledge. Some people noticed a truck in the background of one of the picks--but that's just it. It was more in the background, under the bridge the trainer was riding on. There's no indication at all that we'll actually get to ride one or anything (and I personally doubt it), though.
Hopefully a dragon Eeveelution.
But there are just too many other options for further evolutions, hope GF don't go above the usual 3 stages.
In the comments of one of the screen shots there was talk of a new form of transpertation
Nor do I have any information directly from Nintendo. I'm using the post made by the Smogon Moderator which says "It is also said that a never before seen vehicle will make its appearance in the game!" (Said by Jibaku)
A skateboard could be cool and they could put a Tony Hawk's Pro Skater-esq mini-game somewhere. It would actually work (unlike the THPSs for the GBA) because of the DS's 3D capabilities.
