I know. That ability would make my bird team OP! Too bad I'll likely have no chance to use it competitively.
 
well- it might be possible that you'll be able to use that ability, Vaporeon. The '14/15 format has yet to be announced.

I think the format will be (and I did say "I think") ORAS Pokedex combined with X/Y Pokedex, with a restriction to the legendries' list. And the normal no duplicate Pokémon, no duplicate hold item. Like, you'll be able to have ONE legendary in your party, but a ban on Pokémon like Celebi and a ban on the legendary that are not ORAS/X/Y. At least if I could say what the format is, this is what I would do.

I think Staraptor would pair awesome with the new 'quazza, perhaps Talonflame would be awesome as well.
 
Well, I would my Pidgeot but I'm also thinking they might allow 1 "uber" legendary as well and if they do, I would use mega rayquaza. I just want to know how the move works. I dont know if it removes weakness from flying types of if it makes them immune to rock, lightning and ice attack but only on the flying typing. if thats the case, I can make a team to abuse that ability.
 
Well, to my understanding- the move removes any current weather status, and prevents any further weather changes that come in or are activated. It only keeps Flying type Pokémon from taking "weakness" damage, those attacks only do normal damage.

The Flying types will definitely get a great boost in use for sure if 'quazza is allowed. So many good Flying Pokémon will get a chance to be on the VGC scene. Charizard will see even more use when paired with 'quazza.

What I meant about only 1 legendary being used and Celebi being banned, I was saying that Celebi, Mew, Jirachi- those sort will be banned but you'll be able to use the "mascot" legends.

Okay, I see. I really dislike selective rules like that. On the ability, for say articuno, would it still take weakness damage because of its ice type, so would stone edge deal 2x damage instead of 4x. Also, I hope they get rid of the native rule.
 
I'm also looking forward to see how the mega evolution of Rayquaza looks with my shiny Rayquaza as well.
 
Shiny 'quazza.............................................. droooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooolllllll-

if it hadn't been ruby/sapphire and emerald- 'quazza should be black :)
 
I really wish they'd make megas of the pixies as well. They currently are a decent design, but with their stats, competitively they are a dead end in my opinion. I have regular and shiny versions of Azelf, Mesprit and Uxie also, so I'd like to see if anything can be done with them.
 
Well, no pixies yet, but Steelix and Glalie are gonna be megas. Not sure if I like the Steelix one, but that Glalie was just what I would have pictured. Weird but cool.
 
well- with the demos out, there is little room left for speculation, lol.

I'm not so sure, we still could get more Megas. I mean the coding isn't complete as evident by the level up moves for Pokemon like Blaziken apparently being only level 1 moves
 
There are still Pokemon like Zangoose that could have megas. Im sure they make sure to keep data like that out of the demo but we'll see soon enough. I do wish the demo was a worldwide release though.
 
Pretty radical form change to Hoopa though. Wouldn't have even known it was the same pokemon - if pics from the beach are correct. I agree with Fox_Master51 on the other thread - it would be nice to see a Mega Ninetales. However it would also be nice to see a Mega Zoroark, Quagsire, Muk, and Walrein. I've used those a lot over the years (edit: not competitively, but I have used them in the games).

Yeah, I know it's kinda redundant at this point, but I just had to do it. 11 more days.

It'll be kinda interesting to see if that Hunger Games movie will get anywhere near the money that pokemon will on that weekend.

Hey, now you Americans will have something more to fight over on Thanksgiving weekend! LOL.

Pokemon prints money. I wish I had something like that. On a side note, I was thinking what if Pidgeot had 2 megas. m pidgeot alpha and m pidgeot omega, both of which will specialize in physical and special attack. That would make my day.
 
Well ..... now you're just dreamin' buddy. Life usually doesn't give out beautiful dreams like that. However, given that both Charizard AND Mewtwo both have 2 megas .... hey, you never know.

Very true but the reason I say that is because it seems odd to give pidgeot a mega for special when it attack base stat is much higher, though not by much. It would make sense because of things like brave bird and other good egg moves. Either way, I have a pidgey ready for the game to play through with.
