Yes, but at the cost of reduced IV's. Of course, that's not exactly a huge drop, but still.This has always been the case, as you could just lower the BP to 60.

Perhaps, but then why would they program them into the game that way in the first place?^Or there's a patch when poke bank releases that retcons more stuff.
Exactly. They can block unreleased Pokemon from showing up on the Global Link page; it's what they've done for Diancie, Volcanion, and Hoopa. Which does beg the question: how did Serebii get their types, then, since the types they listed seem to be correct?Perhaps, but then why would they program them into the game that way in the first place?
Game freak has been coding things into games that have never been released for two gens now. I'm not saying that stuff will be retconned, just that they are now able to patch their game. You never know until it's released.Perhaps, but then why would they program them into the game that way in the first place?
Yeah, but the stuff they didn't release they planned to release and it never actually happened. The stuff still does the things it's programmed for, it just can't be got through normal means. It's exactly the same situation here. You can't (yet) get a lot of the old pokemon, but they're still programmed into the games. Why would they decide at this late stage to change some more of the old types? Patches are only really meant to add content and fix old content. I guess you could count changing old types as a 'fix' but like I said, it's a late stage to do it.Game freak has been coding things into games that have never been released for two gens now.

This was definitely said in an interview, that patches will not be made for balancing purposes. It would be interesting if X and Y were games that were more dynamic and GF continued to do updates after the release, but that wouldn't happen. I just hope there are more hidden Megas.Pretty sure they've said they won't do patches like that, too.
