Also, tutor moves, though they haven't fully been converted over from what I assume are index or ID values since Smogon's still trying to cross-reference it against past tutor and TM moves.  Prominent notes from the thread - Hyper Voice returns for not only Gardevoir and Sylveon, but also Aurorus for Refrigerate fun.  Slurpuff now also gets Drain Punch for enhanced Unburden/Drum shenanigans against Steel types, or Heal Bell for support.  Diancie and Volcanion both get Earth Power for coverage.  Diggersby now can run all three elemental punches (EDIT: and Superpower!) off its Huge Power-enhanced stats, and Hawlucha gets Thunder and Fire.  Dedenne finally gets something with Signal Beam and Super Fang, the latter of which might almost let it run a Pachi-type set.  Heat Wave makes a return, to the joy of anyone who wished to use Mega Pidgeot.  Focus Punch might also becoming back, and with it any Sub-Punch sets that relied on Gen 3 TMs. 

EDIT: Picked up a better link with more move names.

EDIT 2: Mismagius gets fire coverage, at last.  Lopunny gets Drain Punch.  Stealth Rock returns for the Nido* and Aggron support sets.  Breloom still gets Drain and Focus Punch, as does Mawile.  Electroweb Minun.  Altaria still maintains Hyper Voice, Heat Wave, and all of its support moves.  Furfrou gets Hyper Voice, and not much else.  Meowstic gets Prankster Trick, obviating the need for breeding.

Elite Four uses Mega Stones on rematch.  But where are the Frontier Brains?

[Urist Imiknorris]

I'm really hoping the Hoenn pokedex gets expanded to XY proportions.

EDIT: According to that list, Caterpie gets Snore but Metapod doesn't. Weird.

Now everyone gets to be Mega Mewtwo!

I don't understand why Rayquaza gets a significantly shittier version of Brave Bird though. Maybe that "effect code" thing means it'll do something bonus in addition to the damage?

Edit:

Here's some other cool ones:

Cacturne has spikey shield now. So it can survive one turn more before getting nuked from orbit.
Sharpedo has poison fang so it can herp on fairies. I still think losing speed boost isn't worth it. I'm too attached to the speed boost destiny bond.
Flygon gets to be probably the only dragon type with a real bug-type move. Except maybe Goodra's infestation.
Milotic gets coil because of reasons. I can't think of any.

Also Mega Beedrill's speed is pretty insane and it has a really high attack too. Too bad it still dies in one hit and won't be able to switch into anything.

[Greiger]

Milotic is kinda snakey, so milotic can wrap up an opponent like a constrictor.  I actually tried to use a milotic in X/Y triples for awhile assuming it already knew coil as a way to keep opponent intimidators from switching in and out every turn.   I was surprised that milotic could not learn it.

(yes I know there are better pokes for preventing switchouts while being bulky, I like milotic)

Unless the effect code translates to recoil damage I'm fine with it.

It might make a decent revenge killer?

[umiman]

Ya, it's probably going to be like Blaziken.

It has... X-scissor, poison jab, and drill run though. Not exactly the best moves in the world unlike Blaziken's stupid-ass flare blitz + hi jump kick combo. It might have some trouble wallbreaking.

Still, way better than Beedrill normal.

By the way, it appears that Gamefreak is putting a little bit of attention into the challenge of the trainers when you fight them a second time around. For example:

Pokémon Trainer Wally - 946

Pokemon: 6
Roserade (Lv. 79) @Bright Powder
Talonflame (Lv. 79) @Life Orb
Azumarill (Lv. 79) @Assault Vest
Magnezone (Lv. 79) @Air Balloon
Garchomp (Lv. 79) @Rocky Helmet
Gallade (Lv. 81) @[~ 756]

Look at that shit. That guy now has a better team than 80% of Pokemon players.

[Tawa]

I bet that you jinxed it, and now they all have Splash as their only move.

[Neonivek]

So is Beedril originally meant to be a Wasp or Hornet?

Pokemon Showdown has put in all the megavolutions so you can play with them and see how the stats work out.

I've fought a few so far and they're pretty freaking strong. Primal Groudon's fire punch actually hurts now. When I went over his stats to see how to fight him I noticed he didn't actually change all that much. Sure he does more physical damage but for some reason they put so much of the new bonus stat points into his special attack. Because of this his HP, special defense, and speed are all the same. So I guess now he can be a mixed attacker if he really wants to with STAB eruption or fire blast. That thing about desolate land completely stopping water moves really, really sucks though.

I've fought Mega Beedrill. It really hurts but it doesn't hurt hard enough to scare my walls. I think this is mostly because its STABs aren't very good at coverage or damage.

I saw a few others but didn't get to fight them due to them ragequitting or stuff like that.

ORAS demo download codes should start getting distributed over the next week in North America to people that opted in to receive promotional emails from their  Pokémon Trainer Club account prior to yesterday. If you get one make sure to play the demo since there are items and a mega pokemon that can be transferred over to the main game once it comes out. You get more items as you play adventures on the demo, with the final prize on the 10th adventure being a set of 20 heart scales.

If you live in other countries, or did not sign up, you can see other ways to get codes here.

[umiman]

I got the email but the image with my code is not loading. I suspect that Nintendo's servers are getting destroyed so I'm not too worried.

If it doesn't show up by the end of the week I'll probably call them. Nintendo's call support is really good.

Edit: Here's what Nintendo has to say about the missing codes:
