I was thinking about this: Where does this leave Giratina's Origin Forme? Will it be left out of future games? Or will there be another way to shift Giratina without the Griseous Orb? Or will there simply be a way for the Orb to be found in Isshu?

Lol, that's what I suggested a while back, I think. Makes sense as another triangle type thing.
And Psychic-Dark-Fighting isn't the same as Dark is immune to Psychic, not resistant as Water is to Fire.
It seems like they should have some sort of key item that triggers all pokemon form changes.
This is BS.
There is no reason why items shouldn't be able to come from gen IV to V if they were allowed from III to IV (different systems).
Presumably they'll give out the orb somewhere in BW
Assuming the "no items" rings true
Super Sentai FTW.
*sigh* It's not Power Rangers, it's Super Sentai. SS is PR's source material.
And PR never even used the DaiRanger costumes, with the exception of the White one. They decided to use DaiRanger's monsters and mecha with ZyuRanger costumes.
Coro-Coro just couldn't come sooner...
Except they're remodeling the TM list. They did not do this between ADV and DPP.
Why wouldn't they simply add onto the old TM list? Where did you find out that they are remodeling TMs?
Don't they usually change TMs every generation? Not only that we no longer can have copies since TMs are infinite use now.
It's never been said, but since TMs can be used infinitely, it goes to reason that they won't let you have more than one of a particular TM, so you wouldn't be able to transfer those.
EDIT: Ninja'd.
That doesn't really prevent transferring of items. Remember that you don't transfer TM Thunderbolt, you transfer TM 24. The move taught would just depend on which game the TM is in.
However, this does raise the issue of forms. HGSS removed the need for the Secret Key altogether, so I'm sure they could incorporate other ways to get the forms (much like every game since DP has had meteorites for Deoxys).
I like the idea of a second triangle, but not in the way described above. Fire/Rock, Grass/Flying, Water/Fighting just reinforces the original triangle by making the pokemon even weaker to the starters they already lost to.
Water/Flying, Grass/Fighting, Fire/Rock (W/R, F/Fi, G/Fl or W/Fi, F/Fl, G/R) would be more interesting because it actually allows for each starter to hit the other two for STAB super-effective damage.
Granted not all of those work on all of the starter evolutions we have seen so far, but maybe next Gen . . .
It's not an issue at all. Have someone give you the Gracedia if you have a Shaymin, another person give you the dragon orbs for your Dragon, put some area somewhere that leads to the machines for your Rotom. Also put meteors somewhere.
Fire/Rock would be the worst thing ever unless it had levitate and stealth rock immunity. >_>
I like the Psy/dark/Fight triangle. Sure one is immune but its not like a Grass pokemon should be able to take on a fire pokemon. IV did the whole 'all effective' thing I hope V doesn't.

But what about all of our berries!?! And rare candies that I've been hording!!

Is this translation valid? Is the source reliable? If so I take the bit about design style to mean just that; the design of the Pokemon draw inspiration from a generalization of each region's art style, obviously fitted to mesh with the Pokemon world.
Smugleaf's large bulbous eyes could be viewed as a classic cartoon staple. The shape of its head, especially, is demonstrative of modern Western animation. Strong attention paid to silhouette, you get something of a flat, graphic shape that makes a powerful statement viewed from a specific angle, but does not lend itself well to be being turned around in three dimensions.
Otter is kind of a parody of Japanese chibi motifs...Hello Kitty and all....at least I find it funny.
Fire Pig isn't the easiest to argue as obviously Chinese. Chinese animation before it started getting homogenized to look more Western or Japanese looked a lot like their classical brush paintings come alive. In that sense, the designs could be said be intricate, with emphasis on curves and swirls. Very rounded lines, but not consisting of even shapes like circles.
Anyway, all that to say, if we were to take stock in that interview, I don't think it'd mean the Pokemon were designed taking into account Western or Chinese themes...they already create Pokemon drawn from cultures all over the world. It also wouldn't point to Grass/Dragon as dragons are staples of legends from many cultures anyway.
Also, I'm pulling for Grass/Psychic...EVEN if it means we get another Fire/Fighting!
If you believe Melkor, Tsutarja will remain pure grass, Miju pure Ware, and Pokabu goes to Fire/Fighting.
Oh yes this has been confirmed. I can't remember if it was CoroCoro or not though.
Pokabu's broad striped patterns could work, I guess
Wait what design interview what oh god where did you get this I NEED MORE
I don't believe Melkor and his shitty attempts at justifying why his 'sprites' look shitty. "Oh yeah well... they are fan art!"
Also, there are some pictures of Japanese text from a Japanese magazine that assumedly comes from Pokemon Pia. One person translated them.
I don't believe the translation at least since the two pictures don't add up to make the same page.

It's not like the it's a booklet or anything, and that they are probably pictures from two different pages.
CoroCoro's leaks are similar, getting bits and pieces.
