You're right. Originally I thought you were thinking of Storm Throw, but Sawk can't learn Circle Throw either. In fact, Sawk can't learn ANY moves involving throwing.

It will probably stay OU, but it'll be rarely used there.Blaziken outclasses it, but Ape is way to powerful for UU
Maybe not. UU is probably going to look a lot different this gen, with a lot of former threats being pushed out by new ones. Why do people insist on asking tiering questions when the metagame isn't even close to settling down yet?
Blaziken can be all sorts of ridiculous.
Is it smarter to speed EV protect/speed boost Blaziken or HP EV it? Will one speed boost with no EVs outspeed most things?

Oh wait, never mind. I derped there. >_>
I didn't notice that the article said "move change". Urgh. I'm getting blind.
It needs speed EVs to beat fast scarfers. Most of its counters can OHKO it regardless of investment, so there isn't much point anyway. And after only one Speed Boost (i.e. you come in on something you don't force out), lots of stuff can outspeed it, so it's even more necessary for that.
This doesn't really matter - the two games are almost identical anyway. I'd say White is best as you get more Pokémon to breed from White Forest - there's no place in Black which is so much suited to egg hatching that it warrants a purchase over White.
Adamant beats a few defensive counters (particularly Gliscor), while Jolly beats a few fast offensive counters. Depends what you're most concerned with. Also, never use Hone Claws. Physical vs. mixed is mostly a matter of preference, though.
Does the concept of a 101 hp substitute still matter? It's not like you see nearly as many Blisseys as you did in RSE
I asked the same question at a local Gamestop. They laughed at the thought of a midnight release for a Pokémon game, saying that there's no way that kids' parents would take them to Gamestop at midnight to buy it O_o. They said they were opening at 9, though, and are not doing any special preorder bonuses. According to this article on PokéBeach, they're offering the Prima strategy guide for 20% off to people who purchase one of the games, but that's it (the article also lists bonuses that other stores are offering, if you're interested).
I'm confused by the differences between Black and White ?_?
I have one DS, access to WiFi, but no friends who play Pokemon, what should I get?

If he could, then what would be the point of the other one being called Throh?
It depends. Do you want access to as many version exclusives from the other game as possible? If so, then I'd recommend Black Version. In Black, it's possible to see a Braviary (and thus trade for one over the GTS), whereas in White one cannot find a Vullaby or Mandibuzz anywhere.
Also buyable Heart Scales. Top that.
Action Replay
Er, not sure what you mean by "access"? I only have one DS if that's what you mean.
Evo Stone Chansey also exists now, and Seismic Toss is the only offensive move it runs (aside from Toxic, but that's obviously not an issue if you have a sub up). Also, DW Sableye occasionally runs Night Shade, I think, so it might be useful for that.
Buyable for 10,000 pokedollars per 1 heart scale
Compared to just finding them in White Forest
Something needs to be done about Excadrill/sandstorm.
I'm not saying it's necessarily too powerful. It's just entirely too common.
Every team I play has the same following pokemon in it: Hippowdon/Tyrannitar (sometimes both), Excadrill, garchomp and ferrothorn.
e: I meant to post this in the suspect thread so I apologize for the inconvenience.
