Uh, don't turn this into an Aunt Jemima conversation (getting in early). Leave it at Aloe/the new Pokemon relation to her.
 
I love how so many new Pokemon have signature moves and the animations are based on the Pokemons design. I wonder if any older Pokemon will get this special treatment...
 
I don't think they are signature moves, I think most are just being shown on those few Pokemon and the company just won't tell us who else learns them. No Starter to date has a Signature move, so the Oaths may be passed to the other starters as well. Same with other attack, like Claw Sharpen or Wild Bolt.

This is just a marketing strategy, show a little to gain interest but leave the rest a secret for the consumer to find out.
 
Then do you think the moves will have different animations for other Pokemon? Like Mijumaru's Shell Blade has the exact little shell from his design, Baffuron and Afro Break, and Shkijika's Evo's attack has the same horns...

Afro break is buffalon exclusive moves, but for other, yea other pokes will just copy their attacks.
 
^ Usually the direct translations are the English names for moves. Well, about 50% of the time. So there is a decent chance it will remain the same, and about the same chance it will change. I will laugh if it stays the same. :3

No one ever said it was an exclusive move. Just because it's the only Pokemon we know of that learns it, that doesn't mean it's the only one that ever will.

That's what I tried to say earlier. They've only revealed them on certain Pokemon as a marketing strategy.

Afro Break looks like another Head Smash. So it "could" be passed to others. So far Vicitini, Reshiram, and Zekrom are the only ones with exclusive attacks. Fire Platform, Cross Flame, and Cross Thunder.

From Pokebeach:
Buffalon - Headbutt Cow Pokemon - Normal - Reckless / Herbivore. Knows a new attack called "Afro Break" which is a sort of Counter attack. It has an afro and its name is a pun on this, which is where "Afro" Break comes from. Only Buffalon knows this attack.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't this lead someone to believe that it's a Buffalon exclusive move?

No other site says this. Serebii just says that it was shown with Buffalon and Bulbapedia makes no mention of the attack at all. 1 out of 3 resources says it is, 1 out of 3 says it isn't. We'll have to wait and see.

Your quote also says its a Counter attack. Serebii says its just a normal recoil attack. The information is against each other.
 
How many more Pokemon do you expect to have a damn afro?

The attack has nothing to do with an afro. That's just a name. It has more to do with the beak/horn. Megahorn, does Nidoking really have a mega horn? No, it has a small little thing.

It doesn't matter.It has a horn doesn't it? That's right it does and it doesn't matter how big the horn is. Nidoking's are very powerful so it makes sense for it to have megahorn.
 
I just realized that with all these grass types, Herbivore might come into effect quite a bit. So if Buffalon already has high attack, its ability might make it even more of a powerhouse. Both of its abilities make it powerful, come to think of it.

Man were are all these posts coming from :O

Anyways I'm really looking forward to Sept 18th.

I sort of like Basuraou, I might even use him, I think the one with the red line is for White and the blue lined one is for black.

Ononosaku is one of the most coolest pseudos so far (tied with garchomp) I want him on my team :3

Nope sadly Mamanbou isn't Luvdisc's evo :(
Also Ononsuko isn't confirmed to be a pseudo but I hope it is or at least this regions "flygon" :)
The Dark/Dragon hydra is Isshu's Pseudo legendary actually :)
 
Okay, people, the thing saying there are no evolutions or pre-evolutions is a RUMOR. Not a fact. A RUMOR. Stop saying it's fact. Be conditional.
