Smogon's fantastical fun-guy.
Ha, well all this new info helps my theory that Ononokusu's pre-evolution is the little tusked Pokemon (I told ya they were like Larvitar and TTar!) The green-ish coloration really supports this idea. Also, i really like the idea of Gear having an influencing relationship like Mantine/Remoraid, that sounds great. Hopefully the new Pokemon will come with an ability that powers it up when Plus/Minus are also on your side of the field.
About the battle video, this looks SO much nicer than Gen IV, I'm very excited. I love how flying Pokemon's sprites now are animated to flap their wings and hover while in battle... that looks amazing. So far I the only attack with nice animation I've seen has been Surf, but I'm hoping they make more use of sprite scaling and camera shifting for the really powerful moves (ex, when a Pokemon uses Explosion, the camera zooms in on the exploding Poke, then back out and rotates around as the explosion animation fills the screen. That would be so satisfying!)
