they didn't wanna bother reworking abilities to make them work with the new battle system, lazy faggots

>>58546829
The real time mechanics add enough depth that abilities aren’t necessary

So trve, Gen 1 and 2 are garbage

How would Prankster work?

Most abilities are designed around the turn-based system, you'd have to completely rework them to work in real time.

i dunno, make status moves recharge 2x faster or make the animations take half as long or something?

>>58546855
Halve cooldown time on status moves

But since priority isn't a thing a real time, Dark types being immune would hurt the ability far more

>>58546890
they could just make the dark type thing not a factor

Abilities need to be phased out and redesigned.

Instead of just one ability, all polemon should have 'features' and maybe an ability.

Features should be powers that are inherent to the pokemon that it wouldnt make sense for it to ever not have. Like weezing having levitate or magmars magma body.

Ability should be small tweaks and more related to the polemon's personality.

That’s just abilities but retarded and with extra steps.
