Poison Heal doesn't make you immune to Poison Type attacks
They actually showed the entire sequence, so if someone translates it we can figure it out pretty quickly!
I give up; seeing how I grew seeing Poison as a poor offensive type...
Moving on, I hope we'd get this nifty update:
Water: x1/2 Rock. Reason: when rocks are thrown on water, they bounce off. As a kid, I once threw some stones from the shore to the sea, and saw them bounce off until they sunk.
1. Are we gonna be able to fish Magikarp, Feebas, and Basculin in the same water body?
2. Yes! It's nice to know that Honedge has a STAB priority move.
3. I hope we'd get Rock Smash as the 1st HM, if that were to happen.
4. I look forward to that one.
5. As usual, I'll catch one for breeding purposes.
Also, I'll offer my advance condolence to Chespin's final evolved form. Cause(s) of death: Scizor (alongside Ice Beam, Flamethrower, Brave Bird, any other super effective attack).
My only gripe with the battle animations is that 'gethit' type animations are quite weak and unsatisfying, and it seems like everything has less animations overall than they did in the stadium games (which is understandable since there are so many new 3D models). The actual effects of attacks look fantastic, but as it is now, pokemon don't really feel like they're getting hit hard by any of the attacks.
As much as I would like for this to happen, every Pokemon to date(sans Bronzong) that gets Levitate has never gotten another ability. Of course it could still happen, but if Honedge gets another ability, I figure it probably won't be Levitate.
Guys, I don't know if you saw the brief trailer for the Pokemon XY anime (because I was just as bored with it as you'd imagine), but I decided to make a little GIF of the final scene.
I'm feeling Froakie's final evolution might just be Water/Flying.

He might be, although pure Water may be another option (maybe it's like beach foam?). I know bubbles are filled with air and all, but we've had Pokemon blow bubbles since the beginning. I guess it makes sense, though, if the bubbles become a cloud or something similar.
After viewing the new gameplay vieo, I calculated some of Honedge's stats (HP, physical attack and special defense), assuming 0 IV and 0 EV plus a neutral nature for both Honedge and Octillery, gen V formula for stats and damage calculation (the formula didn't changed since gen III iirc), and no power change for the moves used. Honedge has a base HP stat of 72 or 73 and other values need to know the random factor for damage calculation. Also, because we can't know how HP exactly loses Octillery, I'll assume 22, but it can be something like 25 actually.
Honedge's attack (assuming 22 HP lost of both Aerial Ace and Shadow Sneak, both having the same effective power due to the later's STAB) :
> assuming the random modifier being 100 %, Honedge has a base attack stat between 99 and 104 ;
> assuming the random modifier being 85 %, Honedge has a base attack stat between 121 and 128.
Honedge's special defense (I assume Octillery's first move being Signal Beam, the second being obviously Octazooka) :
> assuming the random modifier being 100 %, Honedge has a base special defense stat between 61 and 63 ;
> assuming the random modifier being 85 %, Honedge has a base special defense stat being 50 or 51.
Honedge showed as male is kind of weird. It is an inorganic steel sword, it should be genderless like Magnemite or Klink IMO. I hope it will get some good egg moves.
Also, am I the only one who doesn't expect a lot of Pokémon related to old ones ? I know Newtwo and Sylveon being ones and gen VI being an even generation, but they are the only ones revealed at this time and at this time some new Pokémon like Mime Jr. or Bonsly or Weavile where already revealed back to pre-Gen IV period iirc. While I don't expect other (pre)evos of older Pokémon, I don't dismiss the idea about some of them in the new gen. I just don't want to wonder for some new evolutions and being disappointed with a generation similar to gen III, with only Azurill and Wynaut being related to old Pokémon.

...water corrodes rocks in real life, like erosion...
Has the dual type moves been confirmed/denied? If not I would like to know how attacks would be effected by type absorbtion abilities such as volt absorb and storm drain. For example, if Scald is Water/Fire how would that damage Gastrodon? Also, the prospect of Starmie using Scald under rain sounds too be good to be true, especially against pokemon like Ferrothorn..
What's the name of that blue crab looking pokemon?
Clauncher
What's it's typing?
Not really. It's just to show you that you can catch Pokemon and surf. If all of this have a connection with evolutions, then Weavile is confirmed to have an evolution which I'm pretty sure we all know isn't true.
Even aside from Weavile, they've shown tooonnns of old Pokemon. Off the top of my head: Audino, Weavile, Munchlax, Meinfoo, Hariyama, Dratini(&Dragonite), Litwick, Psyduck, Golurk, Kirlia(& Gardevoir), Sigilyph, Reuniclus, Salamence, Hydreigon, Axew (& Haxorus), Octillery, Ledian, Swellow, Staraptor, Haunter, Aerodactyl, Zubat, Pikachu and so on
A number of these likely won't even be in the main game proper, much less get evolutions
