So.. I'll be back home tomorrow, though I might not be fully active again until Tuesday.
Have there been any new developments on PO's 5th gen servers? Has Smogon done anything at all worth noting in the past week? Is Shoddy 5th gen yet?
5th gen is up and running on PO and its been working out pretty well so far. Can't say the same for Shoddy... Smogon has been making analysis' over most of the new pokes and some old ones; They have made great progress on that, but past that they haven't done anything noteworthy policy wise or anything like that. As for around here, its been pretty dead during your absence.
Oh, and it also seems that DW pokes are capable of having special moves which are either unobtainable, or only available from past gen tutors/TMs, such as Sleep Talk on Lickitung and such, though I don't really see any significant moves released yet. Since these pokes are distributed as events it seems gamefreak could technically put whatever move they wanted on whichever poke. They could make Flare Blitz Flareon or Volt Tackle Electivire if they wanted but I doubt it.
