Here are the tweets that went up. I'll keep editing this if anything else appears this evening (videos, etc.). Later, I hope to have a link to a recording of the event since it's not being streamed. Some tweets are combined about the same topic back-to-back, and I'll add my own thoughts periodically.
I'm also not including the #PokemonXY tag on each quote.

Talonflame has just been switched out for Haunter! But wait...Haunter isn't a Flying-type Pokémon...

(I'm guessing it's getting Levitate. So Levitate Pokémon might be allowed? Or is Haunter going to gain Flying type? Would kinda nerf it...

That's it for the Nintendo Developer Roundtable! We'll be posting a recap video of the event tomorrow!

It's only 10 p.m. ET, so they chopped a half hour. Perhaps they didn't want to give away some of the other stuff yet; maybe Talonflame was an accidental show? Discuss!
