From Bulbapedia: "Guard Split will ignore both the user and the target's stat changes when calculating the average."

Re: AAO Pokemon Topic
Meaning: the actual calculation for the move uses only the unboosted stats for both Pokemon, but as a second effect it also swaps stat boosts. It's just a technicality to avoid confusion when moves like Haze come into play, it's functionally identical.

Re: AAO Pokemon Topic
So, buffs can still be transferred, but haze can still de-buff, but it won't affect the switched stats?Hodou Okappa wrote:Meaning: the actual calculation for the move uses only the unboosted stats for both Pokemon, but as a second effect it also swaps stat boosts.

That's Guard Swap, not Guard Split.Ami wrote:"Guard Swap switches any changes to the user's Defense stat and Special Defense stat with any changes to the target's Defense stat and Special Defense stat.

Re: AAO Pokemon Topic
The special Pokemon announcement turned out to just be Pokken.
Unfortunately, it seems to be arcade only? But... Who knows for sure?

Re: AAO Pokemon Topic
Do arcades still even make money? Still, it looks interesting. Part of me hopes it's just fighting types (so I could play as Primate, Hitmonchan/lee/top, Poliwrath, Blaziken, Emboar, Breloom (see how that awkward guy even punches), Medicham, etc. Part of me hopes it includes all types of Pokemon for awesomeness reasons.kwando1313 wrote:The special Pokemon announcement turned out to just be Pokken.

Re: AAO Pokemon Topic
Arcades in Japan are still pretty profitable. People are saying that probably it's launch on Arcades, get ported to Wii u afterwards. Currently, we have no word of an NA launch, but... It's Pokemon. Most Pokemon things make their way stateside eventually.

Re: AAO Pokemon Topic
Fighting games always start in arcades. It'll definitely be stateside and on Wii U next year some time.

Re: AAO Pokemon Topic
Sharpedo's always been somewhat of a threat, but has always had something holding it back. Megapedo may prove to be powerful.
... also, anyone think it's sorta disjointed that a rabbit (numel) becomes cow (camerupt)? Anyway, kinda disappointed that there isn't a MegaTorkoal. I kinda want one. Also, YAY MEGA GALLADE~ <3
