I think the new pastebin only includes items so the pokebank reconizes them. Likewise for sprites. Tutormoves wouldn't make a difference since every hacked pokemon via cybergadet so far is doing fine moving between x/y games, there's really no point in storing data for that.
 
Treecko learns Giga Drain at Level 21 while it's evolutions don't get the move until you get the TM which if it's in the same area as before, it won't be for a long time. Best to hold off evolving, you only miss out on Fury Cutter anyways, no big deal.
Marshtomp and Swampert get Rock Slide at Level 28 which is fantastic for ingame. It was a TM move previously, but now it gets it by levelling up.
Nuzleaf gets Leaf Blade at level 28. Now we know when it gets it!
Slakoth learns Play Rough at Level 38. Interesting move for Slaking...

A lot of Pokemon learn moves earlier or later too. I really like this.

That doesn't explain why Egg move data was in the patch unless they're trying to make their hack checks actually work.

Giga Drain isn't a TM, it's a Tutor move. Though getting it that early for Treecko is fantastic since you can't just Leaf Blade your way through everything like in the originals.

It's always this move that I keep forgetting it's no longer a TM... And I just checked and in XY, Treecko learned it at Level 46 so being this early is great!

You got my hopes up for an early hydro pump mudkip, but seems like that didn't change. I remember back in the day that was such a fun goal.
 
That's...actually a good point, if they redid Mauville, as the hatching route did run through it. Even so, however, every game since Emerald has had a useable hatching route in front of the Day Care (except for HGSS, really), and the changes made to Route 117 between RS and Emerald is one of the few remaining changes that I really don't think should be an issue for them to implement; all that really changed was the relation of the northern pond to the line of trees in the middle of the route to just open a gap of one tile, as well as the length of one of the ledges to the east of the city. But yeah, I'd anticipate Mauville's new layout to be the real issue, here. On the other hand, Mach Bike.

Speaking of the Day Care, is there any word of noticeable changes in breeding?

There's been no changes that I'm aware of... but there has been a surprising lack of information regarding to ORAS so if there has been any changes we'll find out over the next few days.
 
I hope they add a hard difficulty setting like in B2/W2. Only this time not have it only exclusive to one of the games.
Oh I forgot about that... Hmm it would be interesting if that was possible. However I think that considering that XY don't have that option that it was just a feature for BW2. Like walking with your pokes was just a feature for HG/SS.

You're probably right. It would just be nice to have the added challenge and a better way to level up your Pokemon post game.
 
Too lazy to actually hit reply, but Jibaku there are actually 4 Meteorites from the bank datamining
In order they are:
  • Meteorite - A Meteorite originally found at Meteor Falls. You got it at Mt. Chimney.
  • Meteorite - A Meteorite that you got at Mt. Chimney. It gives off a faint glow.
  • Meteorite - A Meteorite that you got at Mt. Chimney. It continues to give off a faint glow and is slightly warm to the touch.
  • Meteorite - A Meteorite that you got at Mt. Chimney. Some sort of pattern has risen to the surface, and it’s shining with seven colors
I'm guessing the first is either scrapped or for Deoxys changing, while the other 3 are various stages of "Rayquazanite" like you said.


R_N this is the "Mega Cuff" , as far as I can tell it's just the mega thingy for the male trainer's Contest outfit http://www.serebii.net/omegarubyalphasapphire/cosplay5.jpg (probably scrapped since I don't see one for the female's contest outfit).


Also:
  • Mega Bracelet - This cuff contains an untold power that somehow enables Pokémon carrying a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve in battle.

Why do the descriptions not match up? WHY!?
Oh good catch
And there's the girl's contest outfit mega bracelet, tooo.
 
I'm sure you can transfer tutor Pokemon to bank.

I generated a Regenerator Amoonguss and transferred it directly to White, even though they didn't exist there.
 
Wonder what those Aqua/Magma outfits are in the data? Do we have to dress up and infiltrate like in HG/SS? The descriptions don't sound like normal uniforms though...
Well I hope we get to wear them lol.
Also, what's the "Key Stone"? Could it be what gets uncovered from the Meteorite? PS if the meteorite is a Mega Stone, maybe the Mt Chimney Aqua/Magma stuff will not involve "uhhh magic science machine makes volcano go boom".

EDIT: Getting a Life Orb just after Winona sounds pretty great too!
 
Getting that Life Orb Absol will be a pain considering it's pretty dang rare to find Absol there. And a 5% (20% with Compound Eyes Nincada) of it holding that item.

But if you get it, it's dang well worth it!
 
Oh yeah. From the guy that streamed ORAS. The Cosplay Pikachu is given after completing the Contest in Slateport. You can soft reset for it after the Contest too.
Cosplay Pikachu is level 20 and it's confirmed to have at least 3 perfect IVs (I did a IV calculation and it had max Atk, Def and SpA for his). And not only that, it has the ability Lightning Rod!

It could be random with Static and Lightning Rod but that's not confirmed right now. Also you don't get to nickname it when you receive it, but it can be changed at the Name Rater.

Ohhhh boy... another pokemon on the long list of SR-ing I have to do

OK Naive HP fire Pikachu bell here I come.
 
Sad to hear that the Battle Frontier didn't make the cut. I really hope that there's something else to make up for its absence.

Oh, and how come there's people that have the game already?!? Early release in other regions? If so, I'm so jealous...

But if you get it, it's dang well worth it!

So, here's a strategy to find a Life Orb Absol: lead with a fainted Coumpoundeyes Nincada in the first slot, and a Frisk Shuppet holding a Smoke Ball in the second slot. The Smoke Ball could be obtained from the Trick Master after earning the Balance Badge from Norman in the originals, but even if it isn't there now, it will still have to be somewhere.

The trick is to use the Dex Nav, which can specifically search for a given pokemon in a route, and although Serebii's description of what this entails is a bit lacking, if it works as advertised, it should make finding wild Absol much easier. Of course, I haven't yet tested this strategy, as it's mainly reliant on the way the Dex Nav works, but this is basically what I do for Heart Scales in X.
