** If a multi-target move misses one opponent (for any reason) but hits another, a ''<Pokémon> avoided the attack!'' message will appear first (if it was due to something else than immunity or protecting itself, otherwise the usual message like ''It doesn't affect <Pokémon>...'' appears), before the move's animation executes, and the missed Pokémon will not react to the animation.

* When an Ability is activated during battle, it is shown as a green-blue arrow for the player's side or a red-yellow arrow on the opposing side with the text ''<Pokémon>'s <ability>'' instead showing it activated on the battle text. (e.g. ''Pikachu's Static'' and the message ''The foe's Meowth is paralyzed!'' instead of ''Pikachu's Static paralyzed the foe's Meowth!'' on the battle text). This has been changed to a black arrow for both sides in Black and White 2. Additionally, if the Ability is changed, the arrow appears, reflecting the Ability change that took place.
