Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire - Season 12
On the Pokémon Global Link, it has been announced that in the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire games, you will now be able to compete in Rating Battles using Pokémon that have been transferred from the Generation V games, dropping the blue pentagon requirement that existed for these games, putting them in line with Pokémon X & Y, which allowed for transferred Pokémon. It's not currently known if this will continue beyond Season 12 but will be active as of September 15th 2015
