Really ? Was there an official announcement ? o:

No, we've had access to the information for a while due to the GTS and PGL as well as the hacking work that was done.

Everything stays.

Question. I just got the pokeradar and have been trying to chain but I've run into a problem. I can use the radar, but when I use it, the bottom screen doesn't show up with a counter. I can't seem to figure out why I can't check how many I've chained

There's no longer a counter like in Gen IV, you gotta count manually now. I suggest using the PP of your Pokemon's moves, it's what I usually do.

.....as far as I can remember, the counter in Gen IV was available through the Poketch app. No Poketch = no counter, that should have been obvious :p

It's been a long time since I've chained. I forgot about the poketech

Question : When i evolve my gligar to gliscor will it get poison heal 100%? or there is a chance with hyper cutter & sand veil?

Question 2 : If my magnemite has a sassy nature & sturdy ability and then i breed it with a ditto will both of the nature & ability stay the same? Still new to breeding & smogon doesnt have the full list.
(Can someone elaborate more regarding question 2, Someone has already answered it but I dont get it sorry.)

Question 3: Poison heal activates when my pkm is in poison condition or the opponent pkm?

No, Gligar has to have its Hidden Ability Immunity in order for it to get Poison Heal as a Gliscor.

Question 2 : If my magnemite has a sassy nature & sturdy ability and then i breed it with a ditto will both of the nature & ability stay the same? Still new to breeding & smogon doesnt have the full list.
(Can someone elaborate more regarding question 2, Someone has already answered it but I dont get it sorry.)

No, Nature & Ability will vary.
If you give one of your Pokemon an Everstone, the nature will be passed down.
Hidden Ability will be passed down if your Pokemon is female, or if your breeding a male with a Ditto.

Question 3: Poison heal activates when my pkm is in poison condition or the opponent pkm?

Poison Heal activates when your Pokemon is Poison.

Say, I want to breed a Cottonee which has Memento, Encore and Switcheroo, all Egg Moves from different parents. How do you even do that?

Not exactly x and y related but its close. I am trying to get onto E-shop to put money into get ready for Pokebank. But its keeping getting various error messages. Is this all just from Pokebank being released in Japan?

Okay I'm trying to breed a shiny Eevee, the first egg wasn't shiny and I think I read somewhere that the first egg is always the same, can someone clarify this for me? I'm going to do the soft reset method(sr after hatching 5 eggs)

There's something I want clarified about Pokemon Bank and Transporter. The main site mentions something about "only Box 1 can be transferred from Gen.-V games". Does this mean that, say, I would have to boot up my White2, move everything out of my in-game PC's Box 1 that I don't want transferred and put everything I DO want transferred into Box 1, and then transfer? Or are they referring to the Pokemon Bank's 'Box 1', and I can just pick and choose different mons from different White2 boxes to extract one by one and place into Bank Box 1?
