Someone probably mentioned this before but their original forms had bikini breast plates as well so I can't understand the whole "Alt forms are female now"

It's best not to be judgmental.
even if including pokemon that can gender swap might be slightly racey in a kids' game...
I know we've been over the new trainers but this is interesting:
Reckon we'll have more dive-able areas?
Yes please! Dive was pretty much useless in BW other than getting tons of money and the Arceus plates. The dive ball was also kinda useless.
More Dive features would be interesting. I loved the Dive areas in RSE, and it would be cool to have underwater-exclusive pokemon again.
So sunyshore posted some clear high quality scans for your enjoyment: http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f650/co...ussion-thread-132222/index47.html#post4007860
And a few translations here and there (Bianca & CHeren haven't met in 2 years, Cynthia came to Unova to sunbathe, etc), but on in particular from the anime Keldeo scan was:

Since it was just brought up in the scan about the movie, I bet it's just something fancy about Secret Sword or some such. But hey maybe it's even more formes~~
Cynthia came to sunbathe? I sense fanservice.
This was months ago, I thought this Champion tournament would be awesome. I think GF pulled quite something this time around :)
Azurill.
Also, the new forms are refreshing compared to the near palette-swaps that the old ones got.
Azurill?
And i'm still highly doubtful that they are female forms. While they certainly have design elements which look like they belong on female characters (Thundurus' chest is actually enlarged behind the breastplate as compared to his original design, which doesn't help his case), i think Pokemon wouldn't do that. Without getting too political, there'd be a huge uproar if gender changes happened given these are "beast" forms. Humanoid male pokemon becoming female animals? That sounds like more political scandal than GF would like, and it's not like it's even necessary for the plot or anything. Also, the moustaches generally say otherwise. It's rare to see (from a character design point of view) a female character with a moustache.
Also, Am i the only one who hopes the Champion Tournament will include the E4 as well? It's a shame those characters only get one appearance and then get left out and forgotten. Not that they were too memorable, but some of them were neat designs. It's be nice to finally be able to have them pose a challenge. Like, having to fight through 4 of them where their teams didn't suck.

I'm not saying they are female, I'm just saying they have more pronounced female features than the original forms. At first I thought there was no chance; I'm merely saying it's not impossible.
Who says they are becoming female? I've said this many, many times, but why is it assumed they can change between forms? Maybe one is female and one is male? No one has any evidence to suggest one way or the other, so you can't rule out all possibilities. Many times in nature females are more ferocious than male counterparts, in what way is that political? It's representing natural occurrences, which is what Pokemon is inspired by.
Maybe it's because there are arrows showing that they shift between the forms on the page that details them
And also being forms at all...
They're not female and they have no chance of it. Every sign of them being female has been shot down. Stop listening to WPM's stupid ideas.
Azurill and Marill have different gender ratios (25-75 to 50-50 male-female), so one in every three females become a male upon evolving.
Speaking of the Kami Trio...

Like. Seriously. How many limbs does Thundurus have. In one you can see only two new limbs (the legs); on the other, it seems to have two legs and two new arms/hands.
Oh look, Cheren's Patrat is at level 11, one level below the Stration Trio's first pokémon.
THEY DOWNGRADED IT
FOREVER RUINED
Quoth Google Translate:
"What appeared as leader Jim Cheren!"
I guess we know the other part of Cheren's name now!
Oh Goofle Translate, you never fail to amuse...
EDIT:
Hold on, I think I may have noticed something:
That's those weird ladies who said they were godesses or something! I hope they tell us more/have something to do this time!
EDIT: More from Goofle - "Jim Lophatherum" - who is that exactly? Is that Brycen's real name, Google? It would be funny if it actually was, lol.
EDITyetagain: "The above illustrations are for illustrative purposes only. Beam is not from Nintendo 3DS." Awww. :(

DREAM Radar DREAM world abilities.
Except Dream World Abilities is actually a fan name IIRC, the term being Hidden Ability...(not disagreeing or agreeing, just pointing this out)
Yeah, I can see these new (still ugly imo) forms being Defiant/Sheer Force Kamis.
Still think they'll be like the Rotom formes in Gen 4 in that they probably can't be used over Wi-fi.

Is it just me or does Cynthia seem to be oddly prominent in these games right now? I have to say I'd really like it if Cynthia got a more prominent role in these games... She's been my favorite champion ever since she hit the scene.

^anyone else wondering who that white haired chick with the funky goggles is on the left side of the page? She looks like some sort of mad scientist or something, wondering what her roll in the games is going to be.
