With so many new topics coming on, I think it would be a good idea to link each one in here with a description for 3 reasons. First, it allows you to check out the threads quickly without having to search the forum (and it's easy to miss a thread while its moving from one spot to another with all the activity). Second, it a quick safe way to make sure you do not duplicate another user's thread. And finally, it allows users to quickly see what new ideas they could start threads on.
(Thanking Billymills in advance as I kept asking questions on #stark and he kept answering them [these were mostly just Pokemon typing questions]).
Be sure to check the stickies for general information and very useful info such as Pokemon base stats, moves, items, abilities, Japanese translations, etc. For a more indepth view at many of these, look below:
Abilities
Lightning Rod - Colonel M - A thread discussing Lightning Rod, which now absorbs Electric Attacks and then boosts the user's Special Attack +1. Discuss the ability and those who have it in this thread.
Shadow Tag - Rising Dusk - A thread, discussing Shadow Tag, which has now been given more widespread use. Discuss all 3 fully evolved Pokemon who now receive this very powerful ability.
Sturdy - Jumpluff - A thread discussing Sturdy, which now acts as a Focus Sash. Discuss it's uses on leads and other Pokemon here.
Items
Aiming Mark - Arc Tech - A thread discussing Aiming Mark, an item which eliminates immunities. This item can single handily change Rapid Spin and entry hazards, as well as special immunities. Be sure to discuss this very revolutionary item!
Balloon - Lou Cypher - A thread for discussing Balloon, an item which grants an immunity to Ground-types until the user has become hit. Discuss potential strategies for Balloon here.
Swimming Goggles - 16.5th Dimension - A thread for discussing Swimming Goggles, an item which puts the user to sleep if they are not Water-type. If they are Water-type, the user increases Speed and Accuracy. Discuss this item and potential strategies here.
Moves
Boiling Water - Deck Knight - A thread discussing Boiling Water, a new Water-type attack with base 80 Power that has a 30% chance of burning the opponent. Another great move, be sure to discuss its possible uses in a Black and White metagame.
Move 515 - Lee - Despite not knowing the name, this useful move faints the user to deal damage to an opponent equal to the user's HP. A very fun support move to help a teammate, be sure to discuss it!
Move 540 - Mattj - This move uses a Special Attack as a Physical Attack. Although it specifically discusses Mewtwo, feel free to talk about any other Pokemon who receive the move.
Pokemon
Agirudar - CRASHiC - A thread discussing the newest Bug Pokemon with 145 Base Speed. Discuss its lead potential and other strategies in this thread.
Doryuuzu - Rising Dusk - A thread discussing Doryuuzu, a Ground/Steel-type with 3 very useful abilities. Please discuss Doryuuzu in this thread, as well as movesets.
Hihidaruma - Scicky A thread discussing Hihidaruma, one of the most anticipated Pokemon of Black and White. Hihidaruma has 2 formes, each with special niches. Form 1 is pure Fire while form 2 is Fire/Psychic (Daruma Mode). However, Daruma Mode can only be entered when under 50% health. Discuss Hididaruma and both of its forms in this thread.
Kibago - Vader This is a thread about Ononokusu's Pre-evolution, Kibago, who has the same ability and typing. This thread is focused and directed towards the Little Cup metagame, so please discuss in the correct context!
Meloia - Rising Dusk - A thread about the new Psychic/Normal (with an alternate Psychic/Fighting form) Pokemon. Discuss potential strategies and which form has more competitive use in this thread.
Ononokusu - R.B.G - A thread about the new Pure Dragon-type Pokemon with Mold Breaker and Base 147 Attack! Discuss movesets and strategies here. Do not discuss how "Uber" it may be, we don't have all the necesary information for those kind of claims yet.
Reshiram - Fireburn - A thread about the special Fire/Dragon legend from Pokemon Black, Reshiram. Discuss strategies in this thread, but try to refrain from posting comments that solely consist of "He will be Uber" or "He is broken".
Sazando - R.B.G. - A thread for discussing Sazando, a Dark/Dragon-type with Levitate. Please don't discuss whether it is Uber or not, only potential strategies and movesets.
Shanderaa - tennisace - A thread about the Fire/Ghost Shanderaa. With Flash Fire and 145 Base Special Attack, this could very well be the best attacking ghost in Black and White. In Dream World, he gains an even better ability in Shadow Tag, trapping any opponent. Discuss potential strategies in here.
Terakion - Ditto - A thread discussing one of the legends of Pokemon Black and White, Terakion, a Pokemon who is Rock/Fighting. Most exciting is Terakion's ability, Justice Heart, which absorbs Dark-type attacks and boosts the user's Attack. Discuss possible strategies about Terakion in here.
Warubiaru - Pratty - A thread discussing the Ground/Dark Warabiaru. Do not discuss whether he is broken or not. Instead, discuss possible strategies.
Zekrom - Jibaku - A Thread about the special Electric/Dragon legend from Pokemon White, Zekrom. Discuss strategies in this thread, but try to refrain from posting comments that solely consist of "He will be Uber" or "He is broken".
