I'm pretty sure it hits once.
The animation, I mean.

obviously some type combinations will be reused. the problem is having 3 consecutive fire/fighting starters.
i think its just lazy of GF not to think of anything else.

I was talking about the animation....It hits once. Maybe the animation does two slashes, but that is very misleading.
I was talking about the animation....
The user confounds the target with speed, then slashes. The attack lands without fail.
It actually only hits once, the animation where the user moves is misleading on purpose and meant to display the user moving in high-speed, to the point where the opponent has no idea where the Pokemon is. The actual attack is the diagonal slash that the defending Pokemon is hit by. It's clever that the attack is delayed because it shows how the opponent's Pokemon is hit unexpectedly.
This is actually seen in the attack description.
oooooo Aerial Ace?
if he can learn that then i think he should be able to learn night slash and shadow claw as well
So the move does apparently hit twice, it just doesn't do damage twice.The Japanese name of this move, つばめがえし Swallow Return (more commonly known in English as the "Turning Swallow Cut"), is probably taken from the signature technique of the legendary swordsman Sasaki Kojirō (the namesake of Team Rocket's James). It is widely believed that it consisted of first a rapid downward slash from above, immediately followed by an upward slash on the same line (this same motion is used for the move's animation in Generations IV and V). Its name came from Kojirō's observations of the motion of a swallow's tail in flight.

Also, here's this from Bulbapedia's Arial Ace page:

You know...when you said that example from bulbagarden, the X and Y trailer actually does show Golurk getting hit twice, both upwards and downwards by the pokemon using Aerial Ace. Looks like it sort of confirms what you said (assuming the animations are kept for final copy).
I'm guessing graphical limitations preventing GF from displaying the upwards/downwards motion?
I'm not to sure about that. In the trailer, the move seems to hit more then once. Night Slash in Gen 4 and 5 hits more then once. Theory stays going.
Personally i really hope Froakie is not a Pure Water Type..while pure Water Types are allright..i would prefere if all 6th Gen Starter Evoultions had a secondary type
I'll probably go with Fennekin unless its two other forms are ugly or it turns out to be a Fire/Fighting type. I know, it's the popular choice, but what the heck.
For some reason, I keep seeing Froakie (whose name sucks in my opinion, btw) as a ground type along with the water. I don't even know why, it doesn't make much sense.
I'm the exact opposite. I hope all three are monotypes like back in the old games, I feel it keeps the balance better. Giving Empoleon metal as a secondary type while Infernape had fighting was just... yeah.
Wasn't it talking about those helicopter seed things?It's so obvious that Chespin uses Aerial Ace but people don't want to accept it because it might interfere with their fantasy of it using Shadow Claw/Night Slash and becoming a Grass/Dark cool assasin.Grow up!
The one that came with all those rumors said something really interesting about Chespin becoming Grass/Flying and being based on...I can't remember what.A plant that looked like insect wings.Come to think of it,Chespin does look somewhat aerodynamic.
