I had to go back and make sure I wasn't actually reading the same page over again lol
Caterpillar with Chlorophyll I didn't notice before...go sunny day teams :D
Hopefully it isn't a Dratini case...Dragonite with Shed Skin would be great.

first off, it doesn't look like a fish at all, really. second, it's obviously related to Gigaiasu (red spikes, same colours, found in a cave it looks like. also, if you look closely at the sprite, you can tell it has a rock-like body). "koishi" also means "pebble", apparently.

just some rumours so don't get too excited

storyline sounds cool, but i wonder if anybody will use the previous-gen clause thing.
It'd be interesting. Like one of ADV's metagames was only Pokemon from Ruby and Sapphire dexes. Having a Gen5 "151" metagame would be cool (and for each gen). That's like 6 potential metagames, plus standard OU UU+NU and uber, LC, doubles, triples, rotate...
I hope by a storyline involving the gym leaders and a competition it's not just "omg become champ" but instead the gym leaders have recurring roles and a bit more depth. Something new and exciting plz

Geeze, calm down man. I thought it looked like a fish because of the fins. I didn't know koishi means pebble. Okay?
Maybe they'll take an idea from the manga and make the gym leaders more than just people you do a puzzle in front of and then defeat. (Puzzle is a strong word for what most of them are. Usually the solution is "walk towards the leader")
Gym Leader + Competition invokes memories of the climax to the GSC saga of the manga where the kanto leaders had a tournament against the Johto leaders (in order to flush out the secret head of the enemy). I doubt that it will be something that interesting though. Gym Leader + Competition will probably end up amount to a dress up session followed by a dance party -.-;
I wasn't acting up, so that might be hard to do. I was just pointing out the facts/obvious stuff, so there's no need to get all defencive.
A plot involving the Gym Leaders would be great. it would help expand on the characters a bit, which is neat. A competition, however, sound like something that would happen post-game. that makes sense, because you would think the gym leaders (assuming all of them are involved) would need to have been beaten before being part of a competition, which I assume you will also be part of.
New way of hatching eggs? We already got Berry Pots for planting berrys, so I think I smell an egg incubator item coming. If so, I hope that the speed for hatching eggs matches or is faster than the usual biking. Might be for the worse otherwise.
Yeah there's quite a few ugly pokemon this gen. Like this one:
It's actually not that ugly... once you realize the "v" shape is its mouth and not a nose. Or at least that's how I look at it, because it's unbearably ugly if I don't. And the stalk is still sort of funky.
There's my guess. Pre evo to gigaiasu since they both have the red crystals :P
Really, not to rain on your parade, but it seems kind of obvious...
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO....okay maybe it is >.>
In all fairness, I guess it's not THAT obvious... since some people though it was a fish... :P
sturdy has been changed! Its now like a sash :D
Sturdy appears to now mean that the Pokemon is unable to be Knocked Out with one attack, rather than OHKO not working. One HP will be left.

lol oh yeah.
haha I can't believe I saw the curved stomach line as a mouth.
Skarmory just got buffed...
Eww...Miruhoggu's face looks ugly in it's artwork.
ROFL....I love how Miruhoggu and Mamambou are next to each other and we can see a little Mimezumi pointing to Miruhoggu but no Luvdisc for Mamanbou *wink wink*.
this is a good improvement. instant focus sash =D
I hope the seasonal changes are really flushed out. Sure, the stuff we know about it already is cool, but random weather would be much, much cooler. Really hot days in Summer that create a "Drought Effect", heavy rain in Spring, blizzards in Winter, and I suppose fall could have both hot and rainy days. RSE and DPPt had the right idea with it always raining in certain areas, but I want it to rain in all areas at different times.
Improvement of Sturdy:
Too bad all the pokes that currently have Sturdy aren't being OHKO that easily. They either have big defenses or good typing. Not to mention, outside of Skarmory and Forretress, they have a better ability like Magnet Pull or Rock Head.
MeerHog's Face:
I love this thing's look.
Mamambou:
I may be crazy, but in this picture courtesy Pokebeach, it looks like there's a Luvdisc next to him in that double battle (look at the thing getting zapped).

I imagine that all Sturdy Pokemon now become rather effective leads. A brilliant strategy I've discovered with this upgraded ability is to attach a Custap Berry which activates at 25% HP. Next move used goes first. One-time use. This means that Sturdy leads can set up Stealth Rocks on the first turn and Explode on the second turn. I predict Golem rising in usage now!
Oh my god... oh my god... oh my god. Why does the first Rock-type we see showing off Sturdy's new function and it's NOT part Ground to make use of it? Oh my god oh my god I'm so excited now. There's still hope yet for Miruhog.
