Serebii had this update today saying that the shiny beasts *might* unlock an event in BW.
It's a guess because the info it is derived from is vague but that would mean definite compatibility with Gen IV.
 
Well, if anything like the Regigigas, Pikachu-colored Pichu, and Arceus movie events, it will unlock something in the game related to the movie. I read that short summary of the movie, and Zoroark turns into the Legendary Beasts a lot, so maybe it has something to do with Zoroark? Maybe it's similar to how you get Manaphy and Phione in DPPt. Zoroark would be unlocked by event only, then you can breed for Zorua to share with others. But maybe this time the baby can actually evolve into the parent.

That argument has been brought up a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a seal/Dusk Ball, considering the "pulses" are on the ground and not toward Zoru...It's kind of shooting out Zoroark's feet.

While on this subject, the Ball Capsule/Seal system needs to be revamped. It's annoying that you can't directly deposit your Pokemon when they have any Seals added. It's the reason why I never bother to add any Seals to my team.

Stealth Rock now a HM confirmed :p

Battles will probably be something like Golden Sun on the GBA.

id ;love it to be more like that...

did you know you waste over 30 seconds of your life every time you have a 2v2 battle where more than 1 pokemon had intimidate or something

hows many lines of text must i scroll through just to get to the battle?!!?!

and GS is a GBA game and look at the graphics and effects of the moves...pokemon needs to evolve!
 
I seems that since all the beast have Extremespeed, maybe, just maybe, those are Zoroark's moves. The Legenday beast just get them in replication of the Zoroark in the movie. These are more than likely the moves that Zoroark uses in the movie while he is the beasts. Aura Sphere, Nasty Plot, Extremespeed, Crush Claw, and Howl all seem like something that Zaroark would do.

Just an idea. If this is so, Zaroark will definitely be similar to Lucario, but he will have means to defeat Blissey and, quite possbily, any other defensive threat as well.
 
On the other hand, didnt they also get stuff like Aqua Ring?

I mean, lets look at it:

Flare Blitz, Crush Claw, Howl, and Extremespeed
Zap Cannon, Aura Sphere, Weather Ball, and Extremespeed
Sheer Cold, Aqua Ring, Air Slash, and Extremespeed

Crush Claw, Howl, Extremespeed, Aura Sphere, those are very likely, yes.
Zap Cannon, Weather Ball and Air Slash, seems plausible
Flare Blitz, Sheer Cold and Aqua Ring? Eh...
 
I think that Zoroark will have a similar role to Lucario. I'm interested in the pseudo legendary. Also, you should all look at the official images on Serebii. They are all positioned correctly.
 
Until it is nigh on confirmed, I will doubt that. HMs typically are to allow you to move through courses or much quicker. Not for something like that.

Lol. Rapid Spin is an HM to spin away the floating rocks. Keep in mind: Flash isn't an HM.

You might just use Rock Smash or Strength to move the rocks.....Maybe there are those rocks and the old ones you can smash/move.
 
Having Rock Smash break stealth rocks on your side of the field would be pretty awesome actually. Lots of mons learn it, and it would help mitigate the huge amount of Steal Rock being used. Make it not work on spikes/toxic spikes to keep rapid spin relevant.

and it wouldn't get too broken cuz the same people who block rapid spin could also block rock smash. it would certainly make a lot more pokes viable.
 
Does anyone else want the legendaries to be given better abilities in gen 5? Currently, articuno, zapdos, moltres, mewtwo, raikou, entei, suicune, ho-oh, lugia, deoxys, dialga, palkia and giratina all have Pressure, which is okay on walls like Lugia, but nigh-on useless for sweepers like Mewtwo and Raikou, and if limited use to most others. I'd like to see these replaced with more creative abilities (gen 4 and especially 3 had some great ones). For example, give Suicune Water Absorb, Entei Flash Fire, and Raikou Motor Drive/Volt Absorb. That way the revolve around a theme, while actually being useful.

Thoughts?
 
I've suggested that before also. But I had in mind new signature abilities. eg

Lugia - Ocean Guardian. Water-type attacks boosted 50% (like STAB).
Ho-oh - Rainbow Spirit. Immunity to Stealth Rock.

Articuno - Snowstorm. Blizzard never misses.
Zapdos - LightningStorm. Thunder never misses.
Moltres - Firestorm. Fire Blast never misses.
(or just give them hail, drizzle, and drought).
 
That's a very good idea, but have they done this before? If not, there's probably a high chance that the abilities will not change. The legendarys need it, though. And Weavile.

Am I the only one that thinks integrating so much more 3D (although HG/SS contained full 3D, it contained one decent camera angle that was used during most of the game) will sort of start to make the game look a bit off? They're placing flat sprites into a 3D world, which looks really off.
