Can I get my username changed to Rezileen, which is what I use in VGC events and what people on Twitter, Discord, etc know me as. Thanks in advance.

Bug: Showdown lets you use any Hidden Power type on Battle Bond Greninja, but the one that you obtain ingame can only have Hidden Power Ghost. This is because Battle Bond Greninja always comes with 20/31/20/31/20/31 IVs, which correspond to Hidden Power Ghost. Hyper Training of course can boost...

Bug: Splash + Aqua Jet is legal on Showdown, but illegal ingame. Splash is a level-up move on Azurill. Aqua Jet is an egg move on Marill. Hence, you have to breed an Azurill to get Splash, but that Azurill will evolve into a Marill that will never learn Aqua Jet. Likewise, you have to breed a...

Splash + Aqua Jet shouldn't be legal. Azumarill gets Splash only through Azurill, and it gets Aqua Jet as an egg move on Marill. So an Azurill with Splash evolves into a Marill without Aqua Jet, and a Marill with Aqua Jet never learned Splash since it was never an Azurill. This should probably...

Just some initial thoughts on the starters. I'm going to assume that tutor moves aren't in Sun/Moon at the moment, just like how they've never been in the flagship games of any gen. On their own, Primarina and Incineroar definitely look viable for VGC. Primarina has a Sylveon vibe going for it...

Just a little nitpick, but you forgot Salamence on the list of Intimidaters (though you did mention it later at the end of the post). On the topic of Intimidaters, I noticed that Milotic has a good matchup versus all of the ones that have been viable in previous years (Arcanine, Gyarados...

Well, the change to 25% was never confirmed. People just eyeballed the HP bar and said that the second hit looked like 25% of the first hit. We won't know the exact number until we get data from the demo or games since high/low rolls could've been factors. But whatever it is, Parental Bond...

I think you're reading too much into the language here. "The Dazzling Ability prevents opponents from using priority moves that normally strike first." "The effects of Queenly Majesty are so intimidating that it prevents opponents from using priority moves." The two abilities sound like they...

The full episode is out. The lack of animation quality is really showing here. There are so many shots where characters are standing too awkwardly still, and other things like the way that Courtney threw her Pokeball look very weak. The Primal Groudon awakening was amazing though; it's clear...

Lucario and Salamence were also featured alongside Kangaskhan in the last trailer when they revealed that Megas were coming back. They probably chose Lucario because it was the first Mega we got in XY and in lore, and Kangaskhan and Salamence were the two most popular Megas in VGC this past year...

Some people are beginning to think that the number of new Pokemon in Sun/Moon will be around the same number that were introduced in X/Y. Apparently, the upcoming Sun/Moon expansion for the Trading Card Game (TCG) has been announced to feature over 40 new Pokemon, including both 7th gen Pokemon...

Petilil was shown in the recent Japanese trailer from Oct. 4: http://i.imgur.com/u8PIWvi.jpg I remember Carracosta was shown with other turtle Pokemon in Turtonator's reveal. This could've just been a homage to Turtonator being a turtle, or it's likely that the Carracosta line will be in Alola...

Someone has kindly tried to document all the old gen Pokemon that have appeared in the trailers and promotional material. There are some obscure references missing, such as the Electrode on Sophocles's keychain, but this seems like a pretty comprehensive list: http://pastebin.com/XhLCLiLm As...

While it is way too early to say anything concrete about the future VGC17 meta, the fact that Gamefreak's been blatantly designing new abilities and moves with a competitive focus gives me hope for an enjoyable meta. Of course Gamefreak isn't the best judge of their own game (e.g. like how they...

This is kind of the right idea. The new timer is both a blessing and a curse, with the downsides being that stall tactics are made much more viable now in official formats. A player can just Minimize up to +6 evasion and make 1 second moves to keep their timer up, while their opponent times out...

With the recent posts on the starters' leaked evolutions, I wanted to point out something that might clarify Litten's leaked 3rd stage. I'll put this in a spoiler tag to respect those who have been avoiding leaks. Litten's leaked 3rd stage is most likely a reference to the famous Japanese...

(And at Zangeese) We can cross off the Voltorb family because Electrode can be seen on Sophocles's keychain (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Sun_Moon_Sophocles.png). I believe Krabby is the right-most Pokemon on the hotel concept art we got way back, but then again, concept art...

Not to burst your bubble, but someone on the Bulbapedia Sun / Moon leaks thread has already compiled an image of all revealed Pokemon so far (You and 13_luckynumber still did an awesome job though!). Their thread can be found here...

Dang, this trailer was crazy. It's giving competitive players all sorts of heart attacks. I know that this thread isn't meant for competitive discussion, but I just wanted to point out some of the possibilities with the new abilities and moves from the trailer that may not be as obvious...

In the description of the video, it says: 「2017年1月にバージョンアップし、『ポケットモンスター サン・ムーン』に対応する予定です。」 In English, it says there will be a version update in Jan 2017 to make Pokebank compatible with Sun / Moon. The following sentences in the description state that we'll be able to transfer from X/Y, ORAS...
