Implemented A few new battle rules in Pokemon X and Y

[SACooper95]

Hmm, It makes sense since Poison Pokemon Cant get Poisoned.

*Fire Pokemon can No longer get burned.
*Electric Pokemon can No longer get Paralyzed.
*Poison Pokemon cant be badly Poison or affected by Toxic Spikes
*Ground Pokemon are no longer harmed by Sandstorm or Thunderwave
*Ice Pokemon cant be frozen or affected by Hail
*Flying Pokemon are NOT affected by Toxic Spikes
*Ghost Pokemon cant be locked into battle by Meanlook or other moves that prevent fleeing.
*Rock Pokemon cant be harmed in Sandstorms and Special DEF rises each turn in sandstorms
*Steel Type Pokemon are not affected in Sandstorms and are not affected by Poison and badly Poison
*Grass is not affected by Leech Seed or "Spore Effect" Moves (Like Stun Spore or Poison Powder.)

Will these be implemented?

Some of those just seem inconvenient

I agree. I have to change my battle strategy around a little bit, but whatever . That's how it is now.

Still, I'm really looking forward to x and y

 

[Darkfire]

many of those already exist in gen 4 or 5
like the poison and weather stuff

All new battle rules are implemented.

 

[Doctor Chikorita]

so would this all get changed with weather effects like drizzle air lock drought or sunny day rain dance sandstorm hail and all that jazz?

Well it actually makes sense for a fire pokemon not to be able to get burned so i'm okay with that.

That has actually been there longer.

That's good, it would be pretty weird if a magmar was able to get burned lol.

The thing with the ghost types is new, right? I don't use mean look or similar moves that often, but I can't remember ghost types ever being immune to it. Does that go for arena trap and shadow tag as well?
