Don't really care much about stats since I'm not a competitive player, though I do wonder how they'll incorporate Mega Stones in OR/AS. I just hope it's not a "there's no way I can find these Stones without a guide" search quest like X/Y.
On a side note: I wonder what they'll do about the Eon Duo (Latias/Latios) and their Mega Stones (not to mention if that one island will be accessible without some kinda distribution event).

I'll be honest: my shiny Beldum's just gonna end up staying in my Boxes throughout all of the game, though if for some reason I actually wanna raise it, I at least want it to have a good Nature.
(Mega) Sceptile, on the other hand, will definitely be an interesting pick for me seeing as I usually would pick Torchic in R/S/E. (It's such a shame Grovyle looks way better than Sceptile, but whatever.)

Quote from Jalorda»So, someone just noticed this: http://i.imgur.com/uBBSPeh.png in the screenie of "Mega" Audino. It has no mega symbol next to its name!
Is this all an elaborate ruse, earlier footage, or a normal evo?
I'd imagine there are no symbols in some dev versions. There were screens like that with no mega symbol before XY came out.

Also, for those who weren't aware, M-Audino was officially revealed today at Gamescom and posted on the YouTube channel.
I won't even be claiming the shiny Beldum. I do not like obtaining shiny Pokemon from anyone - even from events. It makes them feel all the more special when obtained only by me.

I agree. Shinies don't feel as special when you obtain them from events, and especially in-game (shiny Gyarados, I'm looking at you).
However, I do like to claim as many pokemon from events as I can get.

I'm on a bit of a hiatus from playing Minecraft, so I'm not so active in this forum, either. I still check it though, and participate in a few discussions.
Remember, Steel is a fairy-type counter, and there aren't many of those.
Don't really care. If I don't want to raise certain Pokémon, then I don't want to raise certain Pokémon. And I'm still picking it up since I'm sure there will be other distribution events, so I don't want it to hog the pickup queue. I know I can just simply NOT download it, but how else would I get the Mega Stone?
Also, Poison is another weakness.

"Pokémon - New Project
It has been announced that a special stream is to be held on August 26th at 10pm JST (2pm BST, 9am EDT) called Monthly Famitsu feat. Pokémon Special on NicoNico. It is not known what this project is, whether it's a game, a new manga etc., but they say it's a shocking announcement. This stream will be hosted by Ayana Tsubaki & Bunbun-maru and features special guests Tsunekazu Ishihara, president of The Pokémon Company, as well as Nobuhiko Okamoto & Aoi Yuuki, who voiced Iris in the anime, and two currently unknown special guests. We'll provide details as soon as possible."
"Pokémon X & Y
For those of you in the United States of America, the new event is now running in Gamestop stores. From today to August 31st, you will be able to go to Gamestop and receive a Serial Code. When you enter this Serial Code into Mystery Gift, you will then download the Heracronite in Pokémon X or Pinsirite in Pokémon Y. This event is running in conjunction with the event currently running over the Internet in North America. Be sure to get yours before it ends"

I feel like there are way too many Mega Stones. Lots of powerful Pokemon are getting them, and soon maybe the normal evolution won't be as usable as their Mega Evolution. They're powerful and cool, but I think that if it keeps going, a lot of Pokemon will get a Mega Evolution and some worthy won't.

Some interesting Pokemon news that was posted yesterday via IGN.
"It looks like the Pokemon Trading Card Game Online will be coming to iOS. Josh Wittenkeller, YouTuber and hardcore Nintendo fan, posted a screenshot to his Twitter feed showing the game running on an iPad.
Sure, it probably isn't the traditional RPG Pokemon experience fans may have been hoping to someday see land on an iOS device, but it's also not the first time The Pokemon Company International has brought the world of Pokemon to the iOS family of products. ThePokemon TV app allows people to watch episodes from one of the many iterations of the television series on their device"
So... anyone wanna guess at next week's surprise project?
Pokken Fighters?

It has been announced that, during some point in November, there will be a maintenance period for Pokémon X & Y. During this period, you won't be able to enter the serial codes used for various events. It is not known what the specifics of this maintenance are, nor is it known how long it'll be, but we'll provide these details as and when they come.
That's what a lot of my friends are saying too, but if it's supposed to be shocking, I kinda doubt that would be it since... well... a lot of us were speculating about that already.

X/Y ORAS update confirmed?
Not sure how an update would affect serial codes unless something broke... or they're adding more events *stares at the unreleased trio*

It'll likely be that, but hopefully X/Y does get an update so you can battle/trade the new megas and stones.
It would be pretty stupid if Nintendo didn't. They could also send updates with a connection to a OR/AS game, like how the patch to the Berry Glitch came from FR/LG to R/S.

Why not both?
There's no way it'd be a normal evolution, so I'll just guess earlier footage.

I guess I could use both. Only one would be able to Mega-evolve at a time, though.

Two Shiny Metangs already, but you don't see those people wishing they'd run into it normally.
