    Not necessarily.

    His bases are monstrous, but not god-like. Arceus, being the actual god that he is, is still considered an UBER tier Pokemon. Regigigas, even without that god awful ability, would still be UBER. He'd be high UBER, but still UBER.

    Slaking's in that category too. Without his horrid ability, he'd probably break into UBER. Or be high OU.

    No way man - a properly played Regigigas can swamp almost any team. He doesn't have the problems that Deoxy's and Rampardos (the only two ahead of him in attack) have (being weak to pursuit, earthquake, or ice beam, the most common leads in the higher tiers), so if he's set up properly, there's little to nothing you can do to stop him. I ran Regigigas in the uber tier a while back - Baton Passed him Max Double Team. Attack and Defense along with Aqua Ring - made him practically invincible. His ability only limits him for a set amount of time - Slaking's is every other turn. Coming in with Max attack negates the abilities limits, and with trick room set up, he's a beast out the door.

    His ability is what limits him, but he's in the NU tier because people don't give him the time he needs - like a few others (specifically Cloyster and Slaking), he needs the proper set up to sweep.

    And I know that Arceus is still Uber, but his base stats aren't as high as the leaders in the different fields (he has 120 Attack, Regigigas and Deoxys have more) I'm thinking there should be a tier labeled banned, as some pokemon (Wobbufett) are still underclassed in the Uber tier.

    So, a lot of new info has been coming out. Leaking slowly by the minute. The legendary-roam trio is revealed!

    SPOILER!!!

    Whatever that ghost thing is, I want it and it's evo bad.

    Also, the fact that the third legendary in this gens trio (Reshiram, Zekrom, ????) is Dragon/Ice pretty much confirms that the third game will be called Crimson or Scarlet (these were registered when 'Black' and 'White' were). It sounds weird, but it'd fit the trend perfectly. See, Reshiram, the white, natural-looking legend, is in Black, the more urban-themed game (many opposites). Zekrom, the black, robotic-looking legend, is in White, the more rural-themed game (again, opposites).

    So an Ice Pokemon being in a red-colored game makes sense.

    ... the third of the legendary dragons is gray colored.

    This third dragon seems to be based on a cold source of energy as opposed to warm ones like fire and electricity. It is gray-colored (Pokemon Gray?). However, it has ice parts. The head, wings, and tail, are blue.

    Cold energy source versus warm like fire and electricity, several Icy blue parts... Even if it's not completely blue/clear like Ice, it has a very obvious Ice theme.

    But I guess we'll just have to wait for it be revealed ;p

    Some pretty cool stuff there, don't think I'm too fond of this third legendary as much as the other two, although it being an Ice/Dragon type is enticing.

    OH! I get what you're saying now.

    It didn't make sense before because I didn't think of the opposing themes.

    I dunno ... you are onto something there. But Scarlet or Crimson seem so ... off. Gray fits more with what this season is.

    For those of us who have always wanted to use confectionery treats as a Pokemon.

    If that ice cream pokemon turns into some kind of banana bowl pokemon, my life will be complete.

    Seriously, I can't wait. Amazon said they've already shipped my game. I JUST NEED IT TO BE HERE ALREADY :(

    How the fuck are you going to play it without knowing Japanese? I could never...

    Those fighting legendary trio is pretty cool, but they'll be like every other legendary trio. Meaning, I'll probably never use any of them.

    Well if you won't use them, this gen has ANOTHER legendary trio. Excluding version legendaries, of course.

    This makes a grand total of three trios in the legendaries for this game. The roamers, the versions exclusives, and the others ... I don't know what niche they fall into.

    EDIT: News is beginning. Starting with all the gym leaders. Never expected that ...
