Assuming any of that is true (& I hope not. My master balls I've been saving just in case nooooo ;-;), maybe Hypnosis' nerf means there will be another, high accuracy wide-spread sleep move. I think the only other move with 55% is Super Sonic, which of course has Confuse Ray...

*sighhhhh*
I wish the games came out this week, rather then next. At least we have CoroCoro to maybe clear some of this up this weekend.

^From Pokejungle. The phrasing here makes me worried as opposed to happy since it seems to imply more complicated IVs.

...you don't think...maybe...accuracy & evasion?

oh dear

Hm...oh! Perhaps the Pikachu issue thing leaked?
...nah, they wouldn't mention IVs and EVs and stuff like that.
 
Yeah... darkrai's thing is totally exclusive, I don't really get why they nerfed it. I guess I never play ubers, but he didn't need to be nerfed, did he?
 
I just noticed the irony is this situation...

Hypnosis is better than Dark Void lol

What a waste of a signature move; 25% chance to hit both in doubles is godawful

Honestly this makes me think it's fake though; they have no reason to nerf Dark void so far as to make it useless in singles (I know Japan is doubles focused but regardless)
 
I take it you didn't go against anyone in the VGC that used a Trick Room Dark Void Smeargle. Trust me, you don't wanna go up against that without some priority, or you are completely shut down. It merited being nerfed for sure, but not to be only on-par with Sleep Powder. That's a bit overkill.

Current Dark Void will hit both opponents 64% of the time, which is app. 2.6 times more accurate than a new 50% (25% to hit both in doubles) Dark Void. To put it simply - nobody uses grasswhistle or sing outside of gravity.

Dark Void has less accuracy than both and less chance to hit both opponents in a double battle than a OHKO move hitting.

Sorry if this is too convoluted; basically what I mean is that 50% nerfs it too far and destroys any viability of Dark Void, which is a legendary pokemon's signature move. They're supposed to be good, not mediocre. I mean even Shadow Force has use on Giratina in VGC....
 
From Pokejungle:

IV Values now have 8 kinds instead of 6
There will be some kind of modification for the pokemon coming over from previous generations to fix their stats
4 EVs per battle

WTF?

It makes sense, somewhat. At least the EVs do. All EVs should be divisible by four so instead of doing 252 points worth of grinding Bidoof or something, it's simply 63 Bidoofs. Not bad at all. I rather like how it's being a bit more simple.
 
I taked this from pokexperto and translated it:



Hey Hiro, are you sure that the fossil turtle is not really something like this?:
Doedicurus_BW.jpg

- Neither of the two stages looks like that.


Is this image of the third legendary ... real? (I mean the shape and color, I know this is a fanart)

20100909045547e64.png

- That`s a total fake. The real is not gray.


The type of the starters evos are really Grass, Water, Fire/Fighting?
- Yes, those are.


How many gyms in BW?
- We dont like to reveal details of the plot, but there are 8 gyms as usual.


Hey Hiro, a rumour say that there is a new evolutionary line of dragons and apparently will be black. Will they have any secondary types?
- In fact, the secondary type is Dragon.


OMG thats interesting ¿Dragón as a secondary type? I think I only seen that on Kingdra. I would like a Ghost/Dragon, 2 immunities (3 with Levitate), not bad at all, but if is Dark I will not like it so much...
- Almost, Dark/Dragon.


¿Is it true that there will not be Bug-type cocoons in B&W??
- There will be cocoons, but maybe something different from the previously seen. Less simple.


The leaf caterpillar will be a butterfly xD
- I already said the caterpillars will not evolve into butterflys.


I heard a rumor that there will be a Ghot/Water pokemon (inspired by a ghost of japanese mythology which is like an umbrella with one eye and a tongue XDDD)
- There is a Water/Ghost pokemon that already has appeared in a video, but have nothing to do with that umbrella.


Now that I think about it, someone said in a chat that Basurao will be the V gen Magikarp, but Water/Ghost type.
- Basurao is only Water type and has not appeared in any video iirc.


Is true there will be a Dragon/Poison pokemon?
- No, there is no Dragon/Poison pokemon.


From what pokemon are those bones?
Esqueletopkmn.png
- From one you already know.


Hiro does not have info about the gyms. He only have the pokedex info.
- I already said Aloe`s gym is Normal type and there is no Dark type gym (I take the opportunity to add that there is no Rock type gym either).


Hiro, how looks the second stage of Kibago?
- It is bigger. The horn is a little bit smaller. Longer tail. Some skin turn reddish. And those things in his mouth (fangs) grow extremelly. I would say it could glide with those things XD

Seems like the Ghost Water he's talking about could be that
blue, octopus like thing that appeared in the musical screenshot a while back.
eh?

Is the only pokemon I can think of... Or maybe is that pokemon that appeared running in the daycare, but that pokemon looked like a Grass type.
 
Gamefreak would have to be really uninspired to do Fire/Fighting three generations in a row. I mean... wtf. I'm fine with pure Grass and pure Water (though not really, considering they have so much potential) but Fire/Fighting? Again? Fuck that.

To be fair, each is fairly unique, design-wise.
A literal fighting chicken
A martial artist monkey (no doubt based on Son Wukong)
A wrestling pig with a fire beard

But it would suck to have three Fire/Fighting types three gens in a row. I'm fine with pure typings, though.
