It's cool that bw2 give you a shiny haxorus as reward for simply seeing everything in the 'dex.

If I got an old cartridge and transferred pokemon over to ORAS through pokemon bank, they would not have the blue pentagon correct?

If I was going for event pokemon that I will not be able to collect the rest of this year, which older game would be the most bang for my buck?

Shiny Haxorus is so goddamn metal it should be Dragon/Steel and holy poo poo I just realized I'll be able to use mine again with Hyper Training! Pretty sure I reset til I got Adamant or Jolly or whatever is good for Haxorus. She's been sitting in my Bank for forever.

Will shiny Alolan Ninetales be yellow?

That would be a fun way to play mindgames with people since their models are probably the closest of the Alolan/Normal forms.

I'm going through soulsilver on a fresh save, and I'm starting to catch all the legendaries. I already got the extremespeed dratini, is there anything else I should get that can't be gotten in black or x?
Those are the only other pokemon games I own, so I'm missing stuff from BW2 and ORAS.

i feel like using arceus is sacrilegious tbh.

also I've never played Ubers and try to use as few legendaries as I can get away with. I've played OU for 3 gens and only ever used Zapdos, Terrakion and Mew.

I do wonder how the species clause that most battling formats follow will deal with Alolan forms, as they're so different from the regular forms that they function like different Pokémon. Would you be able to use an Alolan Ninetales alongside its regular counterpart in an official match?

Rotom-A is a fairly different form than Rotom, but you're still only allowed to use one Rotom. So it'll probably still be in place.

How does it currently work for Wormadam? I'm pretty sure it only lets you use 1. Thats probably the closest to Alolan forms we have as 1 pokedex entry but three forms with different stats/movepools and typing that can't transform.

You can't use both Basculins either despite having completely different abilities.

Pokemon is weird and arbitrary with all the form stuff.

Ariados is bad too, but Ariados actually has something resembling a movepool and attack stats. It is bad, but totally usable in game.

Ledian is not.

To put in perspective, Ledian's Special Attack is lower than Ariados'. And Ariados has a lovely Special Attack.
