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 :]

ps- Only $35 more dollars to go you guys!! I’ve already used up more than half of my bandwidth in the first week of September 🙁 Help?
“New HM to change seasons ”
I don’t think it’ll be happening…
I believe all of them except of the season HM.
The accuracy of Hypnosis going down stinks 🙁 My gengar already seems to have heaps of trouble ever putting other pokemon to sleep. :/
I like to sound of fresh…
Ev’s are changing too, I never paid attention to Ev’s up until now really. I might start ev training a bit in the 5th gen…
From what I’ve heard, the undesirable part of the Pokeshift is apparently the inability to transfer items. I sincerely hope this isn’t true.
It does make sense, though. with almost 100 TMs available in DPPtHGSS, they’d have to keep those AND add the region-specific ones. I’m not sure the completionists want to track down 150 TMs.
What’s stopping them from making the old TMs change into their generation V counterparts? For instance, if TM01 teaches Shadow Punch in B/W, why shouldn’t a TM01 containing Focus Punch in HeartGold change to a Shadow Punch TM in B/W? It wouldn’t be beyond their means, I’m sure. Same item, different effect. Not impossible.
And no, before anybody says anything, there is no proof for Shadow Punch being in TM01! That was a made-up example, so nobody interpret that as a rumor!
I can see it now…..
5 year old: WAAAH My Earthquake turned into Flash! Mommy this game is broken! Gimme my Earthquake back!
I think that would just recklessly confuse the snot out of most of the younger players, and quite a few older ones, too.
PLEASE made modification on old evolution methods too.
I mean Eevee should evolve into Leafeon with leaf stone. What’s the logic behind this, radiation from leaf stone isn’t affecting Eevee, but a piece of rock is.
That rock is just a mega Leaf Stone. Same with the ice rock, it’s a huge, uber-powerful Ice Stone. Eevee can’t evolve by normal Leaf Stone/Ice Stone because it wasn’t exposed to them early enough in its geneology. Its DNA has finally warped to the point where it can be affected, but only with large amounts of radiation, more than any commercially-available Leaf Stone. Hopefully, in the next generation, the evolution will be encoded well enough for it to evolve with small levels of radiation, in order to make the evolutions easily obtainable.
Well, pretty good explaination. I hope so!
Thanks. ^^; I made it up on the spot.
I don’t want to make trade to get a Leafeon, and if it’s going to be like that further generations i will be so sad. Maybe they will think logically like your post and make modification on some evolutions.
Then again, there are a LOT of illogical things in Pokemon. Like a surfing Rhydon. Or a Diglett using Aerial Ace. But still.
I’m wondering if i get eevee in black & white after national dex, would i be able to evolve it. Or how will they make location evolutions work. Maybe they will add items like mossy rock, icy rock and coronet rock.
More PxP stuff!~~
550: Basurao. Two Formes. One is green with red stripe and eyes, other with blue stripe and eyes. Second seems more aggresive. Water Type
