"Additionally, Pokémon in Standard format battles will return to requiring the blue pentagon, meaning you cannot bring them into your game via the Poké Transporter."

(Site does not note if this change affects X/Y, but it can be assumed that X/Y will continue to allow transfers).

Guess Sheer Cold Suicune gave players PTSD

Looks like I don't need to deal with "what the hell when did this mon get that" moves! Like I played and met any1 this season that actually had a reasonable effect on any battles using something like that :)

At least no shiny bonanza. God Damn i hate running into shinies after shinies. So much waste of seconds that adds up while seriously laddering. The shiny count pentagon-only is MUCH less than non-pentagaon

I figured this was gonna happen. Oh well, Sheer Cold Suicune and Helping Hand Dusclops were fun while they lasted!

 

[cant say]

Well I'm really happy about this, but kinda bummed because I never got to properly try out LO Sheer Force Lando or any of the old XD mons like Baton Pass Zapdos

I guess we can relax with the analyses now though!!

Why

That's good. As a gen 6 player I had no mons to use from other games so this rule only grieved me.

Hate this decision
