Does it specifically say that it's a new form? Because as I mentioned earlier, it could be Mewthree. At this point, I think it's a possibility. They did say it was a new Pokemon, and this is something that has been talked about in the fandom for a long time. Gen five wasn't exactly popular with veteran players, so what better way to reel them in then to give them something that they've been speculating about since the series' conception?

I think that at the very least, it's just as much of a possibility as a new form.
 
Why can't they leave Mewtwo alone? *sigh*
On the other hand, it does look cool so it's not a complete disappointment. But it's gonna make me want to have two Mewtwo's one, for regular and one for the new form. And that takes up room in the PC. I have like 6 Rotom, one for each form. And I have like 3 castform too. Forms can be annoying sometimes.
 
For Rotom-W, Volt Switch and Hydro Pump are nobrainers. He can be built to be a bulky attacker with Leftovers. Third slot is will generally be Will-o-Wisp or T-Wave to cripple a threat. Final move can be Pain Split for more recovery, or Hidden Power ice for coverage. If you decide to run a choice variant, you should. replace WoW or TWave with Trick. Pain split recovery should be kept.

I have a Gothitelle too, but I set it up in a strange way because of the way it fits in my team. The cookie cutter build is a Timid or Modest choice specs build with Psychic/Psyshock, T-bolt, HP Ice or Fire for coverage, and Trick. Gothitelle is only made worthwhile with its dream ability Shadow Tag so make sure you have that, otherwise it's worthless. The plan's simple - switch in on a threat, trap and destroy it. Psychic is preferred, but if Psyshock is useful for dealing with specially defensive Pokemon like Blissey. Though for walls like Blissey, a simple Trick will cripple it. Thunderbolt is just good coverage, and you should patch up any holes with the appropriate hidden power (a real hassle to breed).

Blissey is a pretty nobrainer support Pokemon. Seismic toss is its only reliable damage dealer. Toxic to break other walls/stallers, or T-Wave to stop aggressive threats. Softboiled for recovery. If you have no stealth rocks user, Blissey can fill that role. Otherwise, use Aromatherapy.
Wish is very strong now in Gen 5 and is very viable (thanks to Blissey's massive HP pool). You should run it alongside Protect, keeping Seismic toss and Toxic.

Wow! Thank you so much! How about Darmanitan? I'm going to try and get him with the Zen Mode ability and I thought it would be a nice addition to my team.
 
Don't bother with zen mode, you're far better off using sheer force. It works very well with flare blitz and rock slide. Sheer force also removes life orb recoil (for attacks with secondary effects like flare blitz and rock slide). U-turn is a solid third move for scouting and trying to gain the upper hand

tbh i think its a new form;
the screenshot gallows posted shows pink. Mewtwo is purple
 
I really hope this turns out to be a sort of Hetran legendary. Where yeah it's in the game but you never ever have to see or be spoken to about it. I've always sort of liked that.
 
Lol you're right Karla. I'll just get white 2 or whatever while I'm buying a new game anyways. I know I can get a female ralts from the city too so that's a good idea.
Also thank you so much for getting me that minccino! It was really too much but I'm happy to accept haha! I think I'll get white 2 this weekend so I'll PM or VM you when I'm able to trade.
 
I don't want them to mess with Mewtwo D:
Giving him a new form wouldn't even make any sense...
I just hope it's not permanent ._.
 
Maybe it's like Kyurem where you give Mewtwo some new item, and THEN it changes form. Take it away and it changes back.
 
I hate it... whatever it is. I don't want it to be a new form of Mewtwo, I love how Mewtwo is now.
 
Can somebody give me a rundown on EV training? It's not working the way its suppose to, just like last time. Try to stay away from Serebii's guide..

I want my Flareons defense to go up so I equipped the Power Belt and went to go fight Durant's in Victory Road like Serebii suggested(in BW). The defense stat should have went flying but I only got 2 points up..

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: Nvm, i looked it up and found my problem. I didnt know that it wasn't instant.

Yeah, it's quite funny because if you're high level and you're fighting a load of low level Pokemon to EV train, when you level up and stats are recalculated, it's not uncommon to see something like +30 for that stat. You can also force the game to recalculate your stats by depositing your Pokemon into the PC.

Interesting tip (; I'm kinda new to the whole EV thing. All this talk made me wanna take another crack at it.

Btw, have any of you taken the time out of your day to watch Marill's animation in B/W? It's adorable. It looks like it's legit dancing. You can't be sad watching it jam out in a battle.
 
The text on the movie website specifically said "Godspeed form".
It's still Mewtwo, but it'll have different stats most likely. I'd take a wild guess at it's speed stat raising. =p

Lol when I get my white 2 I'll check it out after I import my sapphire and platinum. I love Leavanny just because it looks so neat during its animation imo. I remember my first and only Leavanny (didn't train others due to the friendship req.), and when after its final evolve... I find its a boy 0.0. Jk that was my first Bellosom :/.
 
Pikachu has an adorable animation imo. My favourite is venomoth, that thing looks like it's on steroids. Even funnier when you're watching it on a YouTube battle commentary where they speed it up about 2x
