Real reason is because slashing is part of Sandslash's identity u.u

Nice info though. Persian is a boring pokemon to me personally

It seems ORAS will introduce Mega Gallade:

 

 

EDIT: http://serebii.net/index2.shtml OMG, Mega Sharpedo.

[Stray Cat]

I think we pretty much saw Camerupt and Sharpedo for the team Magma and Aqua bosses.  I forgot about Wally so he has the Gallade.

 

As amazing as Mega Sharpedo looks, the fact that Camerupt has Sheer Force is just going to make it a beast.  I want one now.  

[Stray Cat]

There's really no simple way to explain it so I'll just post this.  http://www.smogon.com/ingame/guides/rby_gsc_stats#howstatswork

It may be old but considering Alpha Saphire is coming out so this might be nice.

[Stray Cat]

New video and news on the new weathers.  It doesn't say whether it's extended or not but the bonuses are nice. http://www.siliconera.com/2014/09/12/pokemon-omega-rubyalpha-sapphire-trailer-shows-rayquaza/

To keep it on topic: What's everybody's favorite ORAS mega? I was never a big fan of Salamence, but his mega looks pretty sweet and deadly, if not a little unpractical.  

[Stray Cat]

I'm interested to see how Altaria and Camerupt will play out but probably Sableye.  I've always liked that Pokemon. 

 

[nohman]

Yeah, Sableye is up there for me as well. Being able to switch from prankster to magic bounce on a dime sounds pretty sick. He'll be an awesome lead. 

[Stray Cat]

For those in the U.S., here's an event.

I never play ubers and this makes me sad. That is pretty rad.

[Stray Cat]

When a Pokémon with Delta Stream enters battle, the Ability creates strong winds, a unique weather condition. The strong winds last as long as the Pokémon with Delta Stream is in battle.  Strong winds cause the moves Sunny Day, Rain Dance, Hail and Sandstorm to fail and cause the Abilities Drought, Drizzle, Sand Stream and Snow Warning to fail to activate. They also cause moves that are super-effective against Flying-type Pokémon to only deal normal damage to Flying types.

 

 

I can see the double battles now.  Hopefully we'll get a Chaos Emerald version eventually. 

[Stray Cat]

More new Megas:

 

"Mega Pidgeot is Normal/Flying-type with the ability No Guard and Mega Beedrill is Bug/Poison-type with the ability Adaptability. You can fly on Mega Latios & Latias in the overworld and find Pokémon such as Reshiram, Zekrom, Dialga & Palkia in the sky. Latios is exclusive to Omega Ruby and Latias is exclusive to Alpha Sapphire."

 

And you can actually fly around in the overwolrd.  This is something I've wanted to see for a long time, glad it's finally being implemented.

Omg yuuuuusss, mega beedrill hype. Beedrill was among my favorite from 1st gen. He deserves some love and adaptability isn't so bad of a ability for him. He'll have some killer poison jabs and uturns. 

If only he could have skill link and adaptability, pin missile would be awesome.

[nohman]

So, Mega Steelix is a thing now. Still Steel/ground unfortunately but I'm still excited to see it in action.

 

[Stray Cat]

Here's a video on some of this info.

Also, North america will be getting the demo as well for those who have Pokémon Trainer Club account and have opted to receive the official Trainer Club newsletter.

I'm quite excited that there will be a mega slowbro seeing as slowbro is so cool

I'll miss regenerator, but I'm sure the boost to defense will make up for it. For wi-fi battles, Slowbro had a spot on my team for most of gen 6. I love him.

I've never been particularly fond of it as a Pokemon so I don't use it much but my friend has a sub-scald Slowbro that can be quite formidable.  

 

I tend to prefer setting up and sweeping or having a variety of mini strategies more than wear-down tactics. 

[Life]

Just a thought but wouldn't it make more sense for fossil pokemon to follow the path of kyogre and groudon and go through ancient devolution instead of mega evolution?

[Eclipsed]

Double battles, Pokemon Abilities, Mega Evolutions....

I stopped playing Pokemon after 2nd generation (Gold/Silver)   

That mega Steelix is hawt.
