More news tomorrow!

I haven't used Venusaur since the days of Yellow Version where you got all three starters, so this will be interesting. Apparently it doesn't get any Poison attacks via level-up in the current generations aside from Poisonpowder, so it'll be heavily reliant on TMs to have type coverage.

^Yeah, I noticed that myself. Also seems like all its (damage-dealing) level-up attacks are physical until it evolves, which is a pain because its Sp.ATK is higher... and even then Venusaur learns Petal Dance sooner than Solar Beam. Unless X and Y change its learnset down the road (which could be fun!) TMs are the safest bet.

Annual cost, by the way, is 500 yen, which is apparently $5 a year. COnsidering the usual markup on these things, I wouldn't be surprised if we're looking at £4 a year for us.

I believe that for us Australians Pokémon Bank would cost over $7 a year, given that like everything else for sale in Australia, this will get marked up greatly.
