Whimsicott is now apparently Grass/Fairy type. Wonder how Eli will react this.

Sunburst: <Well, seems all three of us are dual typed now.>

Candida: <Yay!>

Eli: <T-Thanks, but... I'm still a little freaked out about this... I mean, how would either of you feel if you woke up one morning and discovered you'd gained a new type?> (shudders) <Oh, the poison attacks will hurt even more now...>

Sunburst: <Hmm... I can see that being a disadvantage, but...> (grins) <It also has some advantages, right?>

- At some point later in time -

- A dragon type Pokémon is repeatedly firing Dragon Pulse attacks at Eli, growing increasingly confused as the attacks fail to harm him in any way -

Eli: (sort of just stands there with a stunned look as the Dragon Pulse attacks keep hitting him without doing any damage to him)

Sunburst: (proudly as she watches Eli) <That's my big brother!>

Oh, forgot to mention in my previous post: Clefable confirmed to be pure Fairy type.

Also, seems to be something interesting going on with Looker in the post-game, according to Serebii's discovery thread.

(interestingly, the fourth case reminds me a bit of something that is actually happening in-RP)

Also, the description for the Ghost move Trick-or-Treat apparently actually involving taking the opponent trick-or-treating amuses me, and makes me wonder just how we're translating that one into RP battles.

Random Gourgeist: (grabs a J-Team member's Pokémon during a battle after its trainer tells it to use said move) <Come on, let's go get some candy!>

J-Team member's Pokémon: (is dragged off) <But it's not even Halloween!>

- Several minutes later, both trainers are looking rather confused as to where their Pokémon went off to in the middle of their battle, when they eventually both return, carrying a big bag of candy between them -

Random Gourgeist: <Wasn't that fun?>

J-Team Pokémon: <... I have no idea what just happened.> @_@

Mega Heracross has been revealed. Looks kind of robotic to me.

For some reason, especially after DS's comment, I look at MegaCross, and all I see is Franky from One Piece.

DS/anybody: can we get a link to the Looker thing?

I don't get it...

And there it is then. Flareon got a new toy.

Mega models

Keys: Ah thank you. And thank goodness. The idea of someone having an entire team go Mega sounds ridiculously broken.

And also it seems Ralts is not version exclusive, so now I think I'm getting Y tomorrow as planned.

Flareon finally gets Flare Blitz? Good for him/her, I guess!

Also, Mega Alakazam and Mega Houndoom look pretty cool, I guess. I suppose I might be a bit concerned about what might happen if certain RP Pokémon of those species might gain access to those powers, though. I also find having Houndoom be exclusive to one game, while the Mega Stone needed for it to Mega Evolve is exclusive to the other game a bit of an odd move, but I guess not too unexpected, in a way.
