This is my preferred order. Base Stats first, followed by moves & movepools, abilities, and then the new battle mechanics, with miscellaneous things like items an so on in the later weeks.1. BST - Old generation Pokes and New Poke I'd like to see if GF makes any old Pokes viable that weren't before. Then How the new IV/EV system is going to work.
2. Moves - testing of new moves complete movepools on new and old Pokes
3. New Abilities - New Abilities on new and old pokes then testing on auto sand beacause the new auto atk and auto speed abilities might make it overpowered
4. Battle Mechanics - if it changes at all... probally will...
5. New items - viability of new items
6. Multiple battles and anything associated like combo moves
7. everything else
The first 3 sounds good. 4 & 5 falls under #2.1. Base Stat Totals
2. Complete Movepools
3. Ability descriptions and distribution
4. New Moves
5. New Items
6. Everything else
In that order preferebly.
I think a lot of people will look for this as well.Well if a lot of the stuff will be found almost instantly, then I'll go with this:
1. General Mechanics changes
2. How new Abilities work
3. How new Moves work
4. How new items work
4. New Pokemon Base Stats
5. Move Combinations
6. Other competetive stuff (I don't see why we need to reaserch things like Musicals)
Acording to RBG, all the Base stats and movepools for the Pokemon are located in a table in the game's code, which will be found and extracted quickly.I think a lot of people will look for this as well.
Yep, I remember this from DP, Pt, as well as HGSS.Acording to RBG, all the Base stats and movepools for the Pokemon are located in a table in the game's code, which will be found and extracted quickly.
But Game Mechanics too.1. Base Stat Totals
2. Complete Movepools
3. Ability descriptions and distribution
4. New Moves
5. New Items
6. Everything else
In that order preferebly.
Now that you bring it up, I'd love a quick translation of the WiFi battling modes that are available. Maybe we can get someone like jumpluff to translate for us as that's less testing and more just a quick scribe.Then it would be nice to know the rulesets of the wi-fi handicap battles to speculate about the VGC 2011 rules. If there are rules for tripplebattles their mechanics would be interesting.

Unless she's too busy playing Audiosurf which I wouldn't be able to blame her for =)

I agree with this, moves should come first, then abilities and how thy interact with moves.I would like moveset lists to be prioritized, since it'll be extremely important for discussions on individual Pokémon. Next would be abilties and the moves themselves, since people are prone to make incorrect assumptions about them before being properly tested.
I have to wonder, how long did it take to figure out the damage formula for gen 4? Since I feel that this may be more important than abilties and moves, but Im not sure how long that will take.
