But what about Claw Sharpen... yeah Outrage is probably the better move, still. However, what if they remove the tutor for Outrage, so new dragons can't get it unless it can be bred onto them or they learn it by level up?

That would be a great day. The day Outrage isn't widely distributed to everything and it's brother. Well, anything new that is.
I agree, although admittedly it makes a lot more sense for Salamence to learn Outrage than Dragonite, IMO. I wish they would give Dragonite an exclusive move, because to be honest he isn't that great of a DDer (only bulky-which Dragon Claw is better for anyway). Considering he has the ability to pick up Pokemon, maybe he can use Free Fall?
I got the impression that there were so many legends in DPt just so they could hold off on showing new Pokémon to keep people interested. The time between when Zoroark's silhouette was revealed and the time when Black and White will be released is insane compared to the length of time between when Munchlax's sillouette was revealed and when Diamond and Pearl came out.
I'm going to be very surprised if wooguru is not swellow's evo
on another note, Kibago is one of the coolest looking pokes ever! I'm hoping for a dragon fighting evo, for something different

you clearly dont know the rage of a fat guy. neither the hidden potential of that same fatass.
i am gonna put it short, nite just look like the pokemon would have some kind of hidden potential inside of him that would crush anything on his path, mence on the othe hand is already at its full power. and outrage as the name says is a rage atack at best and do you know how rage/hatred unleash the true fighting potential of someone?
yeah i am using anime logic but i think outrage fits nite more then mence.
Perhaps the worst kind of logic.
Actually, Nite just needs something better than Inner Focus. If this green Dragon thing really is the pseudolegendary, let's hope they give a second ability to all pseudolegendaries. I actually think Dust-Proof fits it well. And I could use it in Sandstorm... =)
hey i am the comic relief character so gimme a break.
and true he need something better then inner focus, thick fat anyone?
I don't know why Dragonite doesn't get Thick Fat, he'd be so good in that case... or Shed Skin, why the fuck doesn't Dragonite keep Shed Skin Q___Q
Well, he has insane stats. Nite losing its 4x weakness would probably make things unbalanced.
I've been wanting Thick Fat Dragonite for a very long time. Other possibilites are Huge Power (lolololol), Serene Grace, and Water Veil. Huge Power would be undoubtedly broken, firing off 806 Attack (before Life Orb or Choice Band), but don't put it past Gamefreak to make up for their past mistakes and trying to balance things only to make them worse. Serene Grace wouldn't be very useful unless he gets Air Slash, although Claw Sharpen + Dragon Rush + Thunder Wave could be decent, though it takes a while to set up. Water Veil is really cool to me. Currently, only the Goldeen and Wailmer have it. Given Dragonair has Shed Skin, and they are aquatic creatures, it'd be cool to see Dragonite get this. No more worrying about getting burned while trying to set up against shit like Rotom-A or when switching into Heatran's Fire Blast (for bulky sets).
Doesn't Dragonite get DRAGON RUSH? A 100 BP Dragon move with a 60% flinch rate... is pretty awesome. (Y'know, if he got Serene Grace) Except for the shitty acc.
But maybe.
I don't think so, he's still easily countered by Mence, Flygon, even Kingdra, and powerful rock type attacks (at least, before he roosts)
But maybe.
Makes sense. What I've heard also is that, after Twilight Princess's hype debacle, Nintendo decided they would only announce a game or give it some hype a few months before releasing it, so people wouldn't expect that much from a game like they did with Zelda TP.
They revealed Munarsha already saying it's Munna's evo. Wooguru is NOT an evo to Swellow or Mamepato or whatever pokémon we already know, trust me.
The next CoroCoro article details what is called the Mastery Document. Lots of information on the games and a massive bunch of new Pokemon. They've already revealed what? 27? I could easily see this next batch consisting of 20 Pokemon. I'm pumped.
For now, we have 21 pokémon with official artworks, 7 that are known but were not shown yet in Corocoro (Moguryuu, Dozuryuu, Denchura, Desukaan, Ononokusu, rocky-thing, big-ears guy), 1 shown in that demo (Hatoopoo), and 2 that we shouldn't even know of already ("Rakonosuke" and "Tsutakeeku").
And technically there's also Minotauros but lol.
EDIT: I'm 99.6% sure we'll get those seven pokémon plus Hatoopoo and anything else shown on the game demos, meaning the middle stages of the starters.

Or we might get a bunch of evos/pre-evos of old pokes.
What? the game sold like shit and has an average rating of 94.51%, ~Nr. 30 on gamerankings. I havent played it but it was very successful for nintendo.
The coplaints were that its just an "Ocarina 2.0", it was never really said to be bad. I dont see a debacle.
And YAY for mastery document.

Hmm, -1 Atk? Better switch out Gyrados. Hippowdon can SR or something. But what if he keeps his Gyrados in and DD's? Maybe not then. . . what if he has Surf for exactly this occasion, to hit Hippo and Tran at the same time? Did I give Heatran Passho? No, Scarf. I should expect Smeargle to Sleep something, but what would he perceive as the biggest threat? I could take him out if I choose the one he doesn't Sleep. His Sash is broken right? Oh and I should get my Ghost in for Azelf's explosion. But he won't explode as long as Smeargle's doing its job. What was his other Poke again? Oh yeah, Gyrados. I should move Heatran. But what about. . .

I was thinking of something cool earlier-
This "N" character has plans to seperate pokemon right, well what if he does so kinda in the same way as in Pokemon Colleseum, and XD? (I'm assuming there the same I've never played XD)
So this would bring about a scenario in which every time we battled him we could capture and "save" one of his pokemon.
This would be extremely cool, if say he captured the legendary before you. In order to obtain it you have to defeat his team, and the last one would be that very legend.
Just an Idea.
Also didn't they say more information would come on pokemon sunday this week?

I meant "hype debacle", where the fandom and media thought it be the second coming but came kinda short.
It still sold really well and had good reception, but it seems Nintendo decided they'd never hype something up so early again. Just look at Nintendo's last conferences, every game announced was released three-ten months later. We never had something like Twilight Princess or even D/P, where the first mention of the game was two years before the release (and seriously why the fuck do companies do that, isn't it obvious shit will get bad once the game doesn't live to the hype).
