Remember the E15 teaser. Two of the deaths may be false - and I doubt Amaria or Titania is going to die given these people are based off real-life people.
Volcarona is sorta like a non-official pseudo, so I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes available before the E4 or something like that (and I bet there is gonna be like a ridiculous puzzle to get to it... like Beldum)
That phrase actually made me laugh. You do realize some 'girly-looking Pokemon' are more powerful than 'manly-looking ones' right (like pheonix_fire have mentioned above)?
Yeah I agree that Shelly's field effect harms her more than it does to help her. Considering the number of Pokemon that gets Flame Burst (Charmander, Vulpix, Growlithe, Numel, Pansear), I personally think the field has to change.
It might be Celebi/Jirachi/Latias/Mew disguised as a human girl.
There was a theory some time ago, when a sprite of a mysterious girl was discussed - that the outline of the girl looked like Keldeo - so that might be a possibility too.
He probably knew Cal had a Charizard to save himself... but still yeah that's not an excuse to just push your brother off a cliff.
I remember when I first entered Shade's gym too. Those screens scared the hell out of me (for a moment I thought Corey came back to haunt me or something) and I didn't know that Shade would be just casually waiting for me at the back (I accidentally pressed 'Z' while I was beside him... and yeah that was just cruel)
Oh? What actually happens if you don't accept the Gastly?
