New Pokemon X & Y
Tickles:
Yep. Kind of sucked a bit for me though. I had megazard out and he was destroying with solarbeams, but then the sun petered out, and I had to charge, so he took a stone edge to the face and died.
Roloc:
Lql yup. Weather teams have to do a lot more thinking from now on. No more just sending out a weather starter then spamming 1 or 2 attacks. Now they might actually have to use 3 or 4 attacks! :O
They won't like that. Seriously though, so glad they are fixing those broken SS and RD teams. Sun teams weren't as bad as them but it seems they got a nice boost in gen 6 too with Heliolisk being able to use solar power. And now we get to see some electric weather teams.
EDIT:
It seems some old pokemon have gotten their stats changed. Most of these stat changes are minor and will have little to no impact on game play, but some changes are great. For example the change to scolipede, it gained 10 more attack giving it 100 attack and 112 speed. coupled with the fact that it got speed boost as a new hidden ability, scolipede should move on up in the meta game quickly.

EDIT:
Sound based moves hit through subs. :O
Yume Tsuki:
seems logical for sound moves to do, since it's hearable for anyone. Will maybe make people take supersonic instead of the reliable confuse ray that doesn't hit a substitute.
Roloc:
I was mainly only excited because it's great for me. I use bug buzz a lot being mono bug. So this is some great info for me. No more annoying subs from pokemon like sableye or whimsicott. Though those 2 pokemon weren't a threat to begin with but still, it's the thought that counts. :D
GrizzlyEatsKids:
Psh, Whimisicott is always a threat. Always. ._.
While I agree with Flamelass, as it does make sense from a logical standpoint, I personally don't think it was that necessary, at least in my personal case. Whimisicott is my personal favorite pokemon to use competitively, and so I'm pretty familiar with it, and in the specific pokemon's case, I don't feel that it was needed. While I don't think it'll really affect me that much (as I am mono-dark, after all), I just felt that there were enough effective ways to deal with Whimsicott. I guess this in particular is more of a case by base basis though, but this is just how I felt it personally affected me, not necessarily anybody else. I also forget that Whimsicott is now part fairy type, too, and since I've yet to look into that, I'm not even sure what changes I may have to make to my set.
As for other pokemon I'm excited about competitively, I CANNOT WAIT to get my hands on Greninja once it is balanced. It's such an awesome pokemon.
Also, this kind of fits into X and Y, as the idea somewhat sprouted from it and it can definitely affet the future of the series, as the art director personally wants to take a sinpler route. The full story can be found here (for those of you who read it, thoughts?): http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/11/07/pokemon-art-director-wants-to-return-to-simpler-roots
Lastly, I personally can't access the College Humor website where I'm at right now, but they've updated the PokeRap with all 718 pokemon, which obviously includes all of gen VI. The link can be found int his article: http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/11/08/pokerap-updated-to-include-all-718-pokemon
