Seiyal: Jul 9, 2015; In my mind I just pretend. My brain is my only true friend.

IIRC, (even though it's been shown on Youtube) the "Train On" ad should be showing momentarily for those watching the Super Bowl. Should be just a 30-second ad however. It'll be on CBS (or online I think) if you're looking for it.

If only there was some, that would have been something to see. I'd assume the only "reactions" we'll get are people putting stuff up on Youtube probably.

Not really, it was overall just a celebration of the franchise hitting 20 years old.

Here's the full version of the ad (the one that aired tonight was a cut-down version):

Daww. Arcanine's one of my favourite Pokemon, and you make it look so cute.

It aired at the start of the 3rd quarter during the Super Bowl last night. I don't know if it will air again outside of that on TV. (or on youtube at the very least)

Don't worry about it.

I guess you could make it some weird defensive set using Shield Forme and maybe Shadow Sneak for damage.

Alternatively Aegislash does have access to both Shadow Ball and Flash Cannon, so there's STAB special moves already. +Spd also means you outspeed Trevenant and Clefable while at worst tying with Abomasnow/Magnezone/Jellicent, which you can hit foe neutral or SE.

You could always do a gimmicky Weakness Policy Automotize set. Shadow Ball/Flash Cannon/Automotize, then coverage/Destiny Bond/King's Shield. Your coverage is limited to just Shock Wave or Hidden Power though, unless you want to throw in something like Sacred Sword to smack Aggron or something.

those are all cool options, so thank you for the advice!

I think the worst problem is that they are always level 100. I feel like it ought to be level 5 and with a bunch of egg moves (since legendaries don't get thems ince they can't breed).

To my knowledge, they reworked the way EV stats are fed to Pokemon so you can still EV and even reset/redo them at level 100. It would be badass if they got some unique egg moves, but as it stands there is no reason your Mew couldn't be used in Smogon-style competitive battling if you had the patience to savescum for a good one.

Surfingelectrode: Jan 17, 2006; Yeah, I know it's a drag...
but wastin' pigs is still radical.

So, I bought X when it came out, played it for a few weeks and then got bored and sold it. The 20th anniversary has had me feeling kinda nostalgic and is making me want to play through a Pokemon game. Should I rebuy X or go for Omega Ruby? I liked the original Ruby when it came out but honestly don't remember much about it.

Dunban: Jul 4, 2012; OH MY GOD GLOVER

They're already revealing a Gen 7 Pokemon? Hmm..

fake edit: I just checked, Munchlax was revealed 28 months before Diamond and Pearl were released in Japan, so it doesn't necessarily mean that a Gen 7 game is imminent.

Gyro Zeppeli: Jul 19, 2012; sure hope no-one throws me off a bridge

Found my first shiny accidentally. Shiny Klink.

Then, a few hours later, regifting chain on Wonder Trade...gives me a lv100 shiny Honchkrow.

So in one day I go from no shinies to 2.

So, the next model of "cute" Legendary for the generation? It seems really weird to hint at Gen VII when they essentially have to release a Z version for all the Zygarde stuff they've revealed so far.

So some are guessing that Magiana is mechanical in design judging by it's name:
-Gia as in Gear (ギア) similar to Klink's Japanese name which is Gia/Gear
-the whole name could possibly be derived from the Latin word Machina

And also from the trailer for the next movie we can see that there's gonna be a lot of machinery involved:

I do approve of steampunk magical girl Pokemon if this is true.
