So Game Freak did implement abilities, but only for these Pokemon.
>3/9 pokemon are unovaVGH. When will unova shilling stop
>>58731950>Changes to Blade Forme when it uses aa
why are the unova horses of all things seemingly dexcutproof
>>58731967It's a part of trio legendary like Articuno, Moltres and Zapdos. Traditions never get dexcut.
>>58731967Because right now Unova is the second most shilled region after Kanto
>>58731967To emphasize that they have no interest in revisiting Unova anytime soon out of spite for Masuda.

>Sacred Sword and not Secret Sword for Keldeo (or both)They fucked up something so simple.
>>58731950>Requirement: Use Volt Tackle>Effect: when Raichu uses volt tackle [...]>Requirement: Standard>Effect: Changes form and type of Aura Wheel after each move is used>Changes to blade form when it uses a>Aegislash used a!>No mention of shield form/Kings Shield>That fucking Dondozo messJesus this fucking page is so inconsistent. Just have 2 columns, Pokémon and description. What the fuck is Joe even doing these days?
>>58731950Its seems more that theyre harded coded to the pokemon and they didnt bother removing it because theyre lazy, rather than they implemented abilities for these specific pokemon.
>>58732061Only for Aegislash and Mimikyu. The rest are all new or at least modified interactions
>>58731950>gen 9 game>include the gen 5 flophorses instead of their more popular replacement s introduced in gen 9why tho?
>>58731950>KeldeoDoes it not get Secret Sword in Z-A?Also, what happens with Mega Tatsugiri alongside Dondozo?
>>58732127Why would Paradox Pokemon be appearing without involvement from Terapagos or the Time Machine created using byproducts of its power (the Tera Crystals)?They've made it exceedingly clear it doesn't matter what kind of spacetime bullshit you have, if you're not Terapagos or a tool using its crystals, you're not pulling Paradox Pokemon because they exist literally billions of years in the past or future.
>>58732144Why does Mewtwo have mega stones from 3000 years ago when he was created in a lab in the 1990s?
>>58732160mewtwonite was made from the firing of lysandre's ultima weapon 5 years ago.
>>58732144>paradox are creation of dream magic>the entire za dlc is about a dream dimension created by darkraiits clear that paradoxmons where planed but cut last minute
>>58732172Except Team Flare caught Mewtwo and had the Mega Stones before then
>>58732160Arceus knew that Mewtwo would eventually exist because the entire franchise is preordained (hence why its plan to teach people to live in harmony with Pokemon in Hisui required a human from the future where people and Pokemon live in harmony), so it decided to play fucky with logistics and let Mega Energy have its own spacetime fuckery to produce Mega Stones for a Pokemon who did not yet exist.We already know Mega Energy is on a whole different level of fucked thanks to Mega Dimension, seeing as how overdosing a Darkrai with the energy Ange accumulated resulted in a clusterfuck of spacetime bullshit, dream world bullshit and collective subconscious bullshit, all rolled into one package, but it's also a place where the people and Pokemon are very real and not victims of displacement based on the fact you get to keep any Pokemon you catch from Hyperspace.
>>58732173Yes, but Darkrai's dream magic is different from Terapagos's powers. One is artificially overloaded by Ange, the other is just naturally capable of doing that.The concept of "Pokemon from alternate timelines that are also set billions of years in the past/future" is not one anyone in Lumiose is going to be thinking strongly about, and the only person who would be is Turo/Sada, but they're too busy in Area Zero setting up their own demise or otherwise being dead at the time of LZA's events.
>>58732174Or team flare scientists artificially created them when they captured mewtwo. It's probably left vague to leave room for future story telling, but it's either>Metwo made it itself because he came into contact with mega energy and might have been one of the first undocumented rogue mega evolutions (lazy, but possible. rogue megas who are defeated drop their own stones)>Team flare scientists made it artificially (very possible, mewtwo himself was artificially created)>It was created from the firing of the ultima weapon 5 years ago (prevailing theory until ZA retconed it)>Mewtwonite was created from the first ultima weapon, despite not existing for 2900+ years (makes no sense)>Mewtwonite was created from the first ultima weapon despite not existing for 2900+ years because of some manner of time travel or dimension hopping (possible story for later, lame and lazy)
>>58732173The scarlet/violet book's fame is a thing of the past, you would need many people strongly thinking about Heath's made up bullshit to manifest them into hyperspace lumioseLike theorically EVERY SINGLE POKEMON EVER could show up, but it depends on what the plot says characters are thinking about
Quasartico creates the magearnite in the DLC, right? It's fair to assume Team Flare created the Mewtwoites after catching Mewtwo
>>58732210Every pokemon could get a mega stone if thats the case. Mega evolutions were a mistake.
>>58732144Because the paradox pokemon are created by imagination which is what hyperspace luminoise is
>>58732345>Every pokemon could get a mega stone if thats the case. Mega evolutions were a mistake.Considering how mega evolution was random (in game), yes, anyone could mega evolve.But if that bothers you, then you could limit to mewtwo by the fact that mewtwo's creation itself was artificial, and therefore it was easier to recreate mewtwonite for it.
>>58732352>imaginationUnconfirmed, and no one fighting for either side of the debate ever laid out definitive proof of out Terapagos works based on what the Teraleak allegedly said.All we know that's absolutely true of the Paradox Pokemon is that you NEED Terapagos or a byproduct of Terapagos's powers to make them appear, as was told with Heath's impossible encounters, and the time machine the professor creates.
>>58732345Correct, they already opened this Pandora's Box with the Magearna sidequest by having Quasartico cobble together a Magearnite out of 999 Mega Shards. They don't even humor the idea that you'll just find a Magearnite out there somewhere, not even with "dreams become reality" logic from Hyperspace Lumiose, they HAVE to create it themselves.
>>58732374>>58732356>>58732345Mega evolution depends on a pokemon's evolutive potential. If a pokemon has untapped power then you can create a mega stone with life energy as seen in XY/ORAS/ZA, but if a pokemon lacks it then there's no mega evolution
>>58732395Explain why Mew doesn't have a mega stone.
>>58732395>AZ world ending device is condensed into an item in 3 generations>it permanently stunts evo potential of pre evos but they get access to a mega stone altering power like AZ Floette>eviolite no longer works on them
>>58732418Because GameFreak doesn't think it needs one right now, even though it'd be a prime recipient for one (a concept like "because it's already the common origin of all Pokemon, Mega Evolution has allowed Mew to assemble the mightiest powers of all of its descendants") from what we know of how Mega Evolution works, and especially the fact they gave TWO to Mewtwo.As was pointed out earlier with Magearna, they can literally just invent a new Mega Evolution on the spot if they feel like it, so even though in-universe it would make logical sense to make a Mega Stone for every single fully evolved Pokemon based on this groundbreaking development, they just don't because that would be too many new designs, stat spreads, abilities, etc. to factor in.
Clearly this is an example of Gamefreak wanting to add abilities but not having the time to fully do so properly so they used ZA to test out more implementation so future Legends games can have themSince they'd basically need to re balance a lot of abilities for the new form of combat. So they focused mostly on abilities that are integral to the Pokemons design and the Musketeers are probably the trial run for a lot of future abilities that are just connected to certain attacks
>>58732418mega mew should be a "friendlier" version of Mewtwo
>>58731950>They coded COMMANDER Wtf
>>58732418AZ's shot/Lysandre's shot/Quasartico's tech didn't create one. What exactly don't you get?
>>58731950dodonGODS...
>>58732374Lorewise, it's a mode built into Magearna that it's always had, the Mega Stone just unlocks it.
>>58732160Lucarionite was created by the energy of the Ultimate Weapon, not of Lucario. Why would Mewtwo need to be involved in the creation of Mewtwonite?>But how could it have been named Mewtwonite when Mewtwo didn't exist?It wasn't. When ancient Kalosians first discovered a weird marble in the ground they didn't get a popup saying "This is Lucarionite" and immediately start calling it that. They only gave it that name *after* figuring out its effects on Lucario.
>>58732418because Mew is fodder that only exists to prop up Mewtwo
>>58731956It had the biggest Pokédex since Kanto
>>58733044Right, so they can bullshit a justification at any given time, because this combat mode was never alluded to at any point prior.
>>58731950Where's Kecleon's Color Change?
>>58733861It's not in the game, so Color Change isn't necessary to implement.
All that and they were too lazy to let Aurorus and Sylveon have Refrigerate/Pixilate.
>>58731950Reckless and Sharpness?
