Everyone's been getting the same XP regardless of level as far as I can tell too, so they changed it back from how BW handled it. Doesn't matter now that we're outpacing the opponents if we aren't getting penalized for it XP wise.
O...kay, I wasn't expecting that. They knocked Fire Blast's power DOWN from 120 to 110 for some reason. I wonder if Blizzard, Thunder, and other similar powered moves were effected the same way. I can't afford them right now to see if that's the case.
And now that I see it, wasn't Thunderbolt 95 power before instead of 90?
Oh man, let the metagame rage. Just found Hidden Power. It's now set to a flat 60 power and according to the description changes its type depending on the Pokemon that uses it. If I'm understanding right, that means IVs no longer influence what type and power you get from it, which if this is true is going to break so many movesets it's not funny.
Yeah I was just thinking about that and it wouldn't make sense for Chesnaught to be forced to have HP Grass as a grass type. Probably still tied to IVs as before and the description simply threw me off.
Guess Talonflame got lucky because she's HP Water and has one of the higher SP Attacks on the team, so if I could fit it into her moveset it could be put to good use. The rest either can't use it well enough or else got bad typing out of it.
Just a heads up to everyone: A save corrupting bug has been found that's linked to saving inside Lumiose City. Supposedly people have found a way around this already so hopefully this method works if any of you run into the bug.

Step 1: Load your game.
Step 2: As the game loads wait for the music to start.
meh i never saw a reason to use hidden power in the main game really

yeah the games have always been pretty vague about what some moves/abilities actually do, you pretty much need a guide to really know what's going on
