Ivysaur looks pretty interestingly conceptually. I like the way that Solar Beam is implemented, in that you can either charge it manually, or smack someone around with her bulb attacks. I do find it a bit odd that it comes out an angle (or of it seemingly firing out of Ivy's mouth, haha), but given that it's a beam-type attack instead of a single projectile like how Lucas' grounded PK Freeze was in the pre-v2.0 days, I'm sure that it will turn out better. I will admit that I'm a bit skeptical with Ivy's bulb attacks healing her along with placing a Leech Seed on her opponent (even if I do like the individual concepts), but I suppose that I will have to do see her being played/play her myself before I jump to conclusions about how busted the concept is.
I do have two questions, though:
a) Will the Leech Seed placed on an opponent vanish the moment Ivy is hit, or does it function like Lip's Stick, i.e. the opponent takes damage for a set duration of time no matter what?
b) With the inclusion of Seed Bomb (which is an awesome addition, btw) being placed on Down B, does this mean that the PMBR finally figured out how to add articles to characters' moves that didn't have them before?
