Does this mean we have auto leveling to 100 again? I'm just making sure I understand it.
IGN confirmed the return of flat battling. I'm sure we're all happy to see this after the loss from gen 5.
EDIT: Showing the No restriction on team size, because that's the most important part.
Do we know what the Restore button do?From watching the IGN review, 2 things stood out to me:
(Click the images to make them bigger if needed)
On the target, user or friendly. Which I think makes it my favorite "anti-setup" move so far, especially if it gets priority. Once Attack and Speed boosting moves came onto the scene, Psych Up lost its luster, and I never thought Punishment was a suitable answer to the speed boosters.Just remind me, what does topsy-turvy do? Does it reverse stat changes on the user?
I certainly hope so. (Or at least lv. 50. I'm glad set levels are returning either way). Couldn't stand grinding endlessly to get a workable team.Does this mean we have auto leveling to 100 again? I'm just making sure I understand it.
I'd LIKE to believe that it reverts the Mega evolution back to its former self, but if it had an option like that, it would be in the battle menu. Maybe an O-Power function?Do we know what the Restore button do?

On the note of wi-fi, does anyone know if Amie effects can be turned off in multiplayer?
I'm pretty sure it was confirmed by demo testers at Pax to restore status.I'd LIKE to believe that it reverts the Mega evolution back to its former self, but if it had an option like that, it would be in the battle menu. Maybe an O-Power function?
Through Amie effects, hmm. That's right. Well, it's good to see that it still works on MEvos.I'm pretty sure it was confirmed by demo testers at Pax to restore status.
I'm willing to bet it's just the Inkay's line signature move, at least for XY.Wow, so if something with Prankster gets topsy-turvy... gg set-up sweepers.
That's what I'm thinking too, Topsy-Turvy just looks too... "special" to be widely distributed, especially among our current selection of Prankster pokes.I'm willing to bet it's just the Inkay's line signature move, at least for XY.
topsy turvy is screwed over by follow me, fake out, taunt, bug moves in general, and encore. the first two of which are on basically every team. so yeah tops turvy probably wont see much use outside of the first few weeks.Malamar might be really good VGC material. With topsy-turvy, Malamar's partner could wreck with moves like Swagger and other ones like Draco Meteor, Leaf Storm etc.
Also, on a side note, would using topsy-turvy with Malamar with Contrary still be normal, like would it be a double switch for Malamar?
i think it was implied that you can use a healing item without burning a turn. hard to see it doing anything else since they wouldve made a bigger deal out of it if it was a new game changing battle featureDo we know what the Restore button do?
Agreed. It will probably be used as often as phazing moves, as it performs almost the same function, but can't eliminate substitute. It's basically like a less capable whirlwind.topsy turvy is screwed over by follow me, fake out, taunt, bug moves in general, and encore. the first two of which are on basically every team. so yeah tops turvy probably wont see much use outside of the first few weeks.
Personally I think Malamar has great potential as an OU candidate. It's dark/psychic typing Guves I only one weakness in bug type moves, an it's typing means that could potentially be a good mixed attacker. I mean, dark types tend to have high attack, whil psychos tend to have high sp attack. Controversy could potentially make him a wrecking ball if we see any new dark or psychic moves that lower stats. Topsy-Turvy could potentially make him a great counter to set up sweepers. All in all, I'm excited to see what Malamar can do.Malamar might be really good VGC material.

Actually, it allows you to restore your Pokemons health with mess (potions, full heal, etc) before sending them out into battle.I'd LIKE to believe that it reverts the Mega evolution back to its former self, but if it had an option like that, it would be in the battle menu.

There have been few "true" signature moves in the last few generations, especially for non-legends - mostly stuff with a very tight distribution. I would bet there are a handful of Old Mon who can get it somehow. Hitmontop would be a prime candidate, just in case that thing didn't do enough weird stuff.I'm willing to bet it's just the Inkay's line signature move, at least for XY.
