pokebeach front page stated that this silhouette might not actually be "Z" of the movie, thus this could simply be another pokemon all together. For now, most of the evidence points to a Mightyena evo, so I'm placing my bets on that. After all, multiple 'next-gen' pokemons were revealed in many...

Mightyena evolution I'm guessing. Werewolf-ish thing perhaps?

Zubat is suck cuz in game, the majority of the battles are against team galactic, who love to use Poison/Steel types, both of which makes Zubat's attacks ineffective. Intimidate is sexy on a starting flyer, and you don't have to do all this happiness stuff to evolve it to crobat.

You make a good argument for Scyther > Staraptor. Both have their advantages, but imo I think that Staraptor is just better than Scyther here. -Scythers are only caught in a single route, and depending on the time of day, has a low encounter rate. (althou you could just set the time I guess)...

We're not looking at pure end-game material here. We're looking at mons that are useful throughout the game. That is why mons like Mamoswine (even thou it's incredibily useful ingame) are discussed to be put at a low tier, because you get them so late. The fact that you can only catch Gastly at...

Destiny Bond has 5 pp. That's 5 mons max that you can kill before having to go back to Poke Center or using a rare Ether/Elixir etc. And there's no guarantee that the A.I. will attack your half-dead Gengar. If they use a set-up move instead, you've just wasted another PP. Really, I'll rather use...

Don't think Ralts deserves S. Ralts are pretty rare in the wild I believe, and you still have to look for the right gender. Plus, they might teleport away, making them even harder to catch. I do agree in that they are the best Psychic types in game. Gastly should be at C. Terrible moves without...

Grass attacks are more useful than Ground attacks for the elite 4 imo, and there really isn't a good grass type in game anyways. (Roserade doesn't get any good natural moves, forcing you to TM.) And since both Aboma and Mamo are both gotten FAR in the game, I don't really want to give both of...

Hp recovery moves aren't as neccessary due to us being able to use potions ingame (unless if you're doing some no-item run, then you can use Rest on Vaporeon) Buizel is not tier S material. He's not bulky like Gyarados/Empoleon/Vaporeon, and his movepool is limited to Crunch/Ice...

Completely forgot about Bullet punch in game. (thought it was a level up move) Still, Scyther gets outclassed by Staraptor in terms of overall usefulness as a flying type. (Fly, Close Combat, and Initimidate) I still don't think it's suitable for Tier A thou. Perhaps High-B. This is mainly...

A few that aren't on OP's list, or shifting of tiers. Eevee - Tier B. Yes, you get 7 evolutions, but none of them get any decent moves without TM's. Vaporeon is probably the best in game due to surf and aurora beam at 36. The rest are all outclassed by others/not worth it ingame. Gligar - Tier...

At the moment, Rain is better. There's just so many more mons that take advantage of rain. But, if in the future, there exist an equal amount of rain users and sun users, then the Sun would probably be better. The advantages that sun users have in the sun will overpower the advantages that rain...

I just realize something: TEAM ROCKET IS BACK!

No secondary ability

Magmortar is indeed a lot better offensively than Heatran. Thunderbolt is what really allows Magmortar to shine, since it OHKO's alot of things that HP-electric on Heatran fails to kill. I used a Mixed Magmortar w/ Focus Punch instead since it hits for more damage vs Tyranitar and Blissey...
