inverse battles being a bigger part in games would be awesome especially if you didnt know before hand it'd definitely make things more interesting!

I am a bit disappointed that Larvitar line is Y exclusive. I plan to get both games eventually. If it wasn't for Mega Charizard X, I would probably get Y instead of X now. I guess it will take a few more lines to change my mind of which game to get. I don't use legendaries so I guess it doesn't really matter about which I get. just depends on the rest.

Tyranitar a Y exclusive?!? DAMN YOU GF!
At least we X users get Houndoom. But no way is Aggron even remotely comparable to Tyranitar. Rhyperior I would understand, but not Tyranitar.
Let's see...
Mega Charizard X > Mega Charizard Y
Starmie > Cloyster
Pinsir < Heracross
Mega Mewtwo X > Mega Mewtwo Y
Houndoom > Manectric
Mightyena < Liepard
Aggron < Tyranitar
Sawk > Throh
Slurpuff = Aromatisse (both suck)
Clawitzer = Dragalge
Xerneas = Yveltal
I'm expecting Dragalge to be better than Clawitzer, though.
It's balanced (or slightly in favor of X) but advantages Y has over X are much bigger. I mean, in the current metagame, Starmie isn't much better than Cloyster, but Tyranitar is absurdly better than Aggron. Not that Aggron is a bad Pokémon, it's actually one of my favorite Hoenn Pokémon, but it's simply unusable competitively because of its horrible typing, while Tyranitar is much stronger and has a splendid ability in the form of Sand Stream which boosts it even further. Likewise, Houndoom's advantage over Manectric is smaller than Heracross' advantage over Pinsir. Pinsir is a bad Heracross. And due to typing alone I'm expecting Dragalge to be vastly superior to Clawitzer, even if Clawitzer is the better designed Pokémon.
Seriously, GF. You don't make stuff like Heracross, Houndoom, Starmie and Tyranitar version exclusives. You just don't.

That is interesting! I wonder what kind of damage it would inflict, or if its based on how much damage the fire move in question would do.
Way to think outside the box, Game Freak lol

No,... you're just excited that's for sure.
The problem the themes are good, but not for battles, it lacks epicness, sometimes you feel there's empty parts.
The music that I like is team flare's.

I think it may be a set damage similar to confusion and typeless like confusion damage. This being said because I feel it may explode on non-damaging Fire type attacks as well. Which is why I'm wondering if Grass types are immune to it.

Not looking at any posts since it's spoiler city but can somebody do me a favour?
Could someone send me a pm with a link or a list of the exclusive older pokemon? (not the new pokemon since I know those)
Also without telling me anything too detailed, are there locations in the game that are very different depending on the version?

Not to be argumentative, but I kinda disagree with some of these. Since you are comparing the version exclusives, might as well do so myself.
Mega Chariard X < Mega Charizard Y
Fire/Dragon is an amazing type but since its a Mega form, it doesn't really help Chariard out with hazards so the main defense it could muster is kinds moot. It gains weakness to Dragon and keeps weakness to Rock. Loses Fairy and Water, but gains Ground Weakness opening him to EQ spam. While Mega Y still has the same weaknesses as before so you don't even have to change your strategy. With Drought, even weakened as it is, you get an Auto Solar Beam, weaken water attack by half their strength effectively countering your weakness to them, and since its a Special Attacker it can obliterate a lot of Rock and Water types with one turn Solar Beams.
Starmie < Cloyster
Skill Link + Shell Smash + Icicle Spear = rape.
Pinsir = Heracross
Heracross while a dual type seems to be on the bad end of the stick this generation with the new type added in. Both are very good Pokemon however and Pinsir having Mold Breaker gives it an advantage over Pokemon with Defensive abilities.
Mewtwo X < Mewtwo Y
Pure Psychic seems to have my love in this case. Gaining weakness to Flying and Fairy while only losing Dark and Bug weaknesses doesn't sound like an even trade. Even loses Psychic Resistance and makes it a neutral type which isn't beneficial at all to it.
Houndoom > Manetric
Ya. Nothing really to say. Fire devil dog wins with both looks and battle prowess.
Mightyena = Liepard
I can remember a time when everyone and their grandma *****ed about Liepard....now I see it used in OU teams. XD Either way both of these are on the same level for me personally I don't get much use out of either though I can use both all the way through any given game effectively so they are even in my books.
Aggron = Tyranitar
Sure TTar is a Pseudo Legendary, but Aggron has type advantage over it. In direct combat it would be hard to say who would win depending on who has what moveset and items equipped. TTar gets a lot of hype because of his standing but I usually get more use out of Aggron than I do with TTar. Though this doesn't mean that either one has a clear advantage over the other for me.
Sawk < Throh
Guts Throh with what will be a boosted Storm Throw (Always crits) is going to be mean. Though the attack ignores Stat buffs, Guts will make up for any status ailment that inflicts it and can be canceled out if used with Flame Orb to always give it burn status. I don't think Guts' boost is negated by Critical Hit either...so +50% Attack boost with an auto Crit attack.
Slurpuff = Aromatisse
I agree...both suck. My expectations for Fairies had to be lowered because of these two.
Clawitzer < Dragalge
Dragon Type that can put the fairies in their place. Need more be said?
Xerneas = Yveltal
Despite the obvious type advantage, looks wise I prefer Yveltal. I like his attack more as well. Both are on the same level for me though.
O= Froakie just got more badass!

Mega Mewtwo X < Mega Mewtwo Y
Houndoom > Manectric (Really upset that we don't get Houndoom)
Mightyena > Liepard
Aggron >>>> Tyranitar (Cries forever)
Sawk = Throh (I don't really care about these guys)
Slurpuff <<<<< Aromatisse (Spritzee is really the only thing besides Dragalge that makes Y worth it to me)
Clawitzer < Dragalge (Really love this guy)
Xerneas = Yveltal
PS. I'm gonna be getting X sooner or later anyway once I get the money so it's really not a big deal to me)

So yeah, that's his post in case if you missed it. And from what I know, there doesn't seem to be version-exclusives in locations.

If it works like Soak, Camoflage, or Conversion it loses both types and only gains the new type. It's a gamble to play, just like using a Kecleon (who has the same ability now). Its beneficial to you if you have a diverse move set and can read your opponent to counter what they may have.
Competative for Jigglypuff and Gothorita seems pretty cool. A Special Attack version of Defiant.
Ability Capsule (Costs 200BP): Switches between the Primary and Secondary abilities on the Pokémon
I think Serebii confirmed that this does not work on Hidden Abilities since it only effects the Primary and Secondary Abilities.. So I have to wonder how they got the Hidden Ability for Froakie.
