The mole is definitely one of the coolest looking new mons.
Anyway, I'm trying not to jump the gun on deeming things uber before we get a chance to test them, but I will admit the thing looks ridiculously beastly. Sand Throw + great bulk and typing + swords dance looks like it'll be one of its best sets, which I can't wait to try out :D

Fire ghost looks really hot (pun totally intended.)
keke i actually speculated Fearow was gonna get Drill Liner as soon as i read the description... just never bothered to check lol.
i did, however, check to see if Dodrio got the same treatment and NO. man, every gen gets more and more disappointing for Dodrio. they took away Low Kick gen 3, gave it nothing 4th gen, failed to give back Low Kick HG/SS and gave it a pointless second ability, and now, 5th gen, it has another stupid DW ability and absolutely NOTHING else new.
i just don't get some of the decisions that GameFreak makes. there are pokemon that desperately needed a tiny SOMETHING and did not get it.
so many disappointments this gen... =/
if you compared this gen to last gen a couple weeks after initial release, then i'd have to disagree.
There isn't anything to compare?
you're right, there are no comparisons and TONS of contrasts.
thanks for that clarification.
I think people are failing to remember that this gen hasn't even started and it also isn't anywhere over.
You have to remember we still get a third game (Grey), which includes our move tutors, like Platinum did.
you said that this gen hasn't even started, and it's been about 2 weeks from initial release. there hasn't been much meta analysis, it's mostly just speculation, but to that point, we already know a lot about the changes that have been made.
and if you look at D/P two weeks after release, the metagame was pretty much revolutionized. tiers were completely thrown out. OU speculations were completely different from 3rd gen OU.
