Heyyyy yeah I assume you're talking about this: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=57779762&postcount=1055
List of things outright wrong:
-Gogoat having gender differences
-Skiddo, likewise, is not a female Gogoat
-Team Base & Team Acid don't exist and neither descriptions fit Team Flare
-Ignoring that Mawile got a mega evolution not an evolution, it doesn't look like a horsetail nor does it learn quiver dance
-There is not only one fossil, you presumably do not get them through the method mentioned
Also, by this point the Pokebeach rumors had already been posted so anything that happens to match those an be explained as trying to add credibility.
so way to check through the entire thing before dredging it up again?
Does this also confirm there is no ordinary evos this gen? Since 6th gen does not need new evos yet.
Also Rivals are wrong.
Synchronoise is king here.
Nothing that gets STAB on it will hit super effectively. Anything that gets STAB will only be able to hit resistant targets, or at best neutral ones (Swoobat/Xatu/Sigilyph vs fliers). In fact, there are no targets at all that can be hit super effectively by this 70 BP psychic move. Almost every Pokemon it can hit resists it. It deals spread damage if your opponent is stacking psychics/normals in a multibattle where you also have a Pokemon that knows Synchronoise in play, but that is not ever going to happen. It's gonna take some work for Game Freak to make a more useless move.
Anyway, I absolutely love the new fossil Pokemon. I was a little worried that they would evolve into overwrought and busy eyesores, since they already had quite a bit of detail and Pokemon tend to gain more as they evolve, but these are nice. Tyrantrum has a good color palette without going rainbow mode (Xerneas, Mega Lucario, Kyurem), and Aurorus is a pretty classy rock/ice type. I'll probably be grabbing the latter, but I'd take either for my first team.
Stay paraplyzed, obviously.
Vaporeon can use Syncronoise to hit Tentacruel and Poliwrath super-effectively. That's about all I can think of.
Edit: Sigilyph/Xatu/Swoobat get STAB super-effective on Crobat. It's something!

By current and prior gen logic, receiving a status condition and then changing type into something immune to that condition makes you still victim to the condition. Status immunity only prevents application.
It'd be nice if changing type actually removed the status, though. It'd GREATLY increase the value of Conversion 1, Conversion 2, Camouflage and Color Change. They'd still probably suck, but they'd at least be *interesting* suck.
I know this is kind of off-topic, but by far my favorite user of synchronoise is Umbreon.
Or just freeze clause put in.
I interpreted his name to revolve around Amargosaurus, since they have sails and shit.

Well, they care, and I have to say I am loving every single change. Next change stealth rock to do only half of its damage!
Well, Freeze is technically a poor-but-lucky man's sleep, so a Freeze Clause seems perfectly plausible.
Freeze is better than sleep, so I'd say its the other way around. I definitely agree with you on having to be lucky though. And interestingly, the most likely users of moves that would undo freeze (ie Scald users) are all hit super effectively!
I disagree, scald and drought are a lot more common than sleep talk.
Wow, Tyrantrum's awesome! Freeze Dry sounds like a good move too.
Also, Pokemon getting EXP when you capture a Pokemon is the best idea I've heard from GF in ages. AGES!

What about being able to sit down on benches?
Okay, Synchronoise is definitely a terrible move. However, if you ever use it, it's not going to bring you harm. It's just entirely outclassed by a ton of better moves and all that jazz, which is hardly new. However, Flatter. Flatter is not only outclassed in what it does, but it actually harms you. Flatter increases your opponents Special Attack, making some Pokemon much more dangerous to deal with. Granted, Swagger does this too, with Attack (And with a bigger increase), but with Swagger, you play a gamble. They can hit themselves in confusion for increased damage, or screw you over (Unless they lack Physical moves or whatnot, in which case the gamble dramatically decreases). With Flatter, the gamble just isn't a *thing*. If it was the only 100% confusion move, I could see it's niche use, but it's not unique in even that regard.
Synchronoise also has the chance of being less useless if it was given to something that can put it to moderate use.
tl;dr Synchronoise is useless. Flatter harms you.
He's got a point. The best part of Gen VI just has to be the benches, hands down.
Pffft I've been sitting on benches on Animal Crossing all summer.
