might be more ways to get around abilities like shadow tag now
only thing i can think of honestly
historically, the price drop on systems after they become slightly less new isnt that strong, or that fast
i think each step down of the ds-tech-tree you save like 20 bucks, even now
it might drop a lil, but not something crazy... and not overnight
all im gonna say

They removed Salamence, too. I believe Garchomp and Salamence are the only two non-gimmick, non-legendary that went to uber.
What did they change in gameplay to make these much better than Platinum? I kept hearing about gameplay improvements but no specifics.

salamence wasnt good enough to be kicked out of ou, but thats another topic lol
why does gen 5 feel more fun than 4?
combat goes faster/smoother.... so it helps battles stay fun, not tedious the pokemon have more animation in general, which is nice little extras, like the gates between zones, add up a nice polished feeling bridges are godlike?
i dunno, but like.... it feels better made i would state it myself. i havent done the triple battles or any bs, and have no interest in them, but the feel of the game just feels a lot better than pearl to me

Nothing really... they are just trying to make OU right now. OU isn't even made, so they are trying tofigure out who stays in OU, and who goes to Ubers or UU.
As such, pokemon like wubufett, mew, garchomp, and salamance will most likely return to Ubers.
Also, pokemon like moltres and murkrow are likely to move to OU
While others, are going to move down.
The game is just too new, with too few battles online to be able to decide what is OP in OU and what is now.
People are just trying things out, and with a lot of additions to the game (more abilities for pokemon, more moves, eviloite, etc...) there are a lot of things to consider when making the OU tier.
We have a good month before OU is actually made and any where near finalized... hell, most of the discussions for who stays in OU and who goes are still in the "place holder" stage, as in not even looked at yet...
give it some time .

I've never played a triple battle, but I kinda like rotation battles. There's so few in Black, that I forget they had them until today...

I think I read something about them being on the Marvelous Bridge (that one east of Nimbasa City).

So I've spent the last 2 hours trying to get a Timid Flash Fire Litwick to no avail Thankfully I'm at work doing this but still! This little guy is so cute that I actually want to have the proper things for it.

It's like Vanillite or w/e it's called, but I may literally keep my Litwick in it's first form until I reach the elite four or something.

By them, I meant the game Black/White instead of the pokemon. Though I suppose speeding up the slow battle animations and getting rid of annoyances would make for good improvements.
Funny though that I'm hearing there are quite a few new pokemon with Garchomp like speed and attacking power.

T____T 5th Litwick with Flame Body instead of Flash Fire that's Timid. I'm about ready to give up at this point, or just to smite me a shiny one with Flash Fire will appear. Stupid pokemon!

Yeah, as I saw one guy on Smogon put it:
In a land where 130 base stats were given away like candy on Halloween...

Snickersnee Friend Code- 1978 9559 4267 I just finished the plasma story line and I really enjoyed how the ending happened. Don't want to spoil it but I feel it was easily the best ending in a pokemon game

What you really need to do if you're serious about nature stuff is to catch a Synch Pokemon of each useful nature....usually Bold, Timid, Modest, Adamant, and Jolly and just use those to catch things you want. It really really really helps, trust me.
