We’ve finally reached Rumor post V for Gen V! Here goes :3 Remember not to take these as fact until they are PROVEN.
- IV Values now have 8 kinds instead of 6
- There will be some kind of modification for the pokemon coming over from previous generations to fix their stats
- 4 EVs per battle
- Gaining Effort values has also changed
- Hidden Power now varies in base power between 60 and 70 (UPD)
- No new natures are being introduced
- 26 new abilities
- 156 total new pokemon (5 being distribution-only) [This correlates to what Experto has said]
- Hypnosis accuracy lowered to 55%, Dark Void’s accuracy now 50%
- Triple Battles and Rotation Battles are encountered many times
- PokeShifter is mentioned as being… less than desirable
- Random Match has two modes; 6vs6 Single and 4vs4 Double
- Random Match adheres to Battle Tower rules
- New rule called ‘Fresh’ which allows only pokemon trained in Black/White can be used
- Battle Subway has a WiFi component
- DSi users will be able to participate in events at McDonalds in which they can scan a barcode to receive an item or pokemon
- New HM to change seasons
Separate rumor pointed out by SymphonicMuffin. These are the alleged abilities of the Pokemon Peer Kanto starters:
- Squirtle: Shell Armor
- Charmander: Flame Body
- Bulbasaur: Poison Point
Also since I’m posting this up anyway, a separate rumour also from a guy claiming to have read PokemonPia was brought to my attention a while back. It suggests the same thing only with Bulbasaur having ‘Chlorophyll’ instead of ‘Poison point’.
That’s all for now :]
