Scream, Tac is very willing to provide feats whenever I ask him. Take notes of my politeness. 😛

Aww, poor old guy....wait, you can't be that old. 0.o
On a side note, I has Oblivion. And pre-ordered my nintendo butt raping.

You have to give the man a medal though for his resiliency. Hopefully the rumors about Rob's recovery is true and he can get back to kicking ass with Marn.
But the Swarmlord tanking a barrage from a Thunderhawk is a cool feat.

Ah, no new entry hazards eh? Guess Rock and Ground are still dominant attacking types, as well.Can you tell me if I'm wrong though? I guessed that Black and White would be taking the newly offensive metagame of D/P to a little higher of a level with Black and White. If I was right, then I can't see them fixing it that much any time soon. They'll need like, supar walls with double stat decreasing moves or something.
Well, yes and no. B/W introduced several base 120-140 attackers and the weather changers means Kingra/Doryuuzu/etc have easier times doing their thing. Blaziken, previously outclassed by Infernape, is now a big threat thanks to Speed Boost. Psycho Shock is a special attack that attacks the physical defense of your opponent, so Blissey has taken a slight hit to its walling capabilities. Additionally, former UBER powerhouses(Manaphy, Garchomp, Latios/Latias, Baton Pass Mew, and a few others) are running wild in OU since the mass unbanning. The metagame definitely has no shortage of offensive threats.
That said, stall teams definitely got new toys to protect themselves. Blissey, and now Evolution Stone Chansey, still walls special attackers without Psycho Shock. Skarmory still takes physical attacks with ease. Guys like Erufuun have the Mischievous Heart ability, which basically gives their non-attacking moves +1 priority. I am sure you know how beneficial that is to a stall team. Water types can now cripple physical attackers while doing decent damage with Boil Over, a base 80 dmg attack that can cause burn. Nattorei, a grass/steel stype with massive defense and decent attack, has become a staple on many teams too.
I hoped that helped answer your question. There's several things I didn't cover, but I'd be rambling all day if I did. Plus, the metagame isn't completely stabilized just yet. For example, I predict Manaphy will get her broken butt banned back to UBERS just like Shaymin-S did.
What makes me sad is that Celebi didn't get Butterfly Dance like I wanted. I know it'd be practically broken with it, but that is the beauty of it. 😈
Hey Nemesis X got a present for you
And I find this hilariously stupid. Just shows how ****ing stupid G4 is.

In reality, the actual games don't really require all that. You can rock with pretty much whatever your favorite stuff is when just playing through the story mode.
