From what I've heard, the nature changing is similar to Hyper Training. As in, your Nature stays the same, but the stats reduced/boosted are changed to that of another nature. For Hyper Training, your IV's aren't actually 31 after the boosts, they just are treated as such for calculating stats in combat, which is why that Pokemon's Hidden Power doesn't change type after undergoing it.
Oh, the bases are kept the same? Well... okay. That's cool.
 
Apparently Cuckcord is taking down servers spreading the leaks.

Even ignoring the fact that basically everything people need to know about the game has been dumped online (short of the finest details like mon stats and such, but those will be datamined later) and therefore is impossible to stamp out now, this just reeks of half-assed damage control. While takedowns of leak spreaders is nothing new, I'm willing to bet they wouldn't be this flipped out about it were it not for the legions of pissed off fans as a result of the information getting out (as pointed out in earlier posts, the Japanese crowd had almost no idea the dex cut was even happening at all as it was never properly addressed over there, just here in the West).

EDIT UPDATE: Bamboozled, apparently this was made up for attention. Carry on.

Nah, they stapled the guy who leaked the lets go games to the wall too. The only reason it was such a shit show is because the leakers were actually in the double digit iq range and were sloppy in every aspect.
 
I don't like the new customization stuff. It's creepy.

They added all of these details to make every Pokemon unique, and everyone who didn't give a crap but who played competitively groaned enough for Game Freak to make them meaningless. Good job, guys.
Well, to be fair the competitive side of the pokemon fanbase is pretty substantial. Hell, there's an official event for competitive pokemon battling (Granted it's purely doubles, but it counts). Not to mention, that some players outside of competitive battling also wanted a feature like this.
 
Speaking of competitive in better news, EV training tedium is effectively gone. The features trailer released today showed a Gengar being given 26 Calciums (to boost Sp. Attack EVs). Now, in the past you were limited to only being allowed to use 10 vitamins to boost a stat, and with 10 EVs given each, that amounted to only 100 EVs to the maximum of 252 one stat can have. But now you can use vitamins to max out an EV stat in one go.
 
@Dunsparce thought on not being invited into sword and shield? Thoughts on delibird getting in and not you?
 
I just thought of something, if Gigantimaxing is gonna be around for a gen. And D/P are getting a remake possibly, you think Gigantimaxed Torterra will be like those giant Torterra from detective Pikachu?
 
Meh, I'd put Crystal at least in B Rank - It was the first game to offer actual animated sprites, you could play as a girl, and frankly, was an overall better game than Gold and Silver.
Swap USUM with the original Crystal and I agree 100%
The kanto half is TERRIBLE, HALF THE GAME IS TERRIBLE!

If anything, i'd like to see a Gigantamaxed Regigigas
