Different Ability's for starters

[jackjack]

I think they should change the starters ability's They suck, Especially if you have a grass type and most of them learn some sort of attack that will keep them out of low damage.

Venuasur can have effect spore
Charizard can have burn on contact
Blastoise can have defense increases in rain LOL Im not sure about blastoise or the others yet.

 

[miiche~]

it gives them all an air of consistency, but I know what you mean~ It's a bit wishy washy.

As the starters they ought to have spiffier ones..

eg, venusaur could have an ability like... "Greenhouse", which lets solarbeam attack in one turn, but reduces its power~


idk xD

 

[Amaranth]

sceptile / Cholrophyl
blaziken ~ Guts
Swampert - Water absorb

yeah...thats a good idea, and how about Typhlsion with the ability detonate? doesn;t the pokedex entry say that its fur causes friction, causing it to explode? or feraligator with intimdade? it look scary to me...
and Blaziken with 'flaming fists' so that any physical attack made by Blaziken has a 20% chance of burning or somthing...

 

[Goldliop]

i dunno, i think that the starters should keep their abilities... but how about breeding them with different abilities... now that would be cool

I don't really like their abilities that much but they gave them the same ability (but it affects their own type) so that they're equal. There's no other ability in the game thats like that for grass/fire/water. If they made new ones that would be great but they would have to be the same ability but just alter the type ect.

 

[Nyarumacat]

Idk!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SapphireL]

^What was the point of your post? Don't spam, Nyarumacat. ._.

Anyways... I could see Feraligatr with Intimidate... and... maybe Blastoise with Shell Armor?

But the starters have different abilities 'cause they're special. XD

no kidin each starter is usually the pokemon u still with the whole game... so it cant be that uber... they should keep there abilitys in my opinion

 

[davidone10]

I dunno, but I like their abilities, mostly because they're all the same.
But they do favour the faster ones because they get sub to 1 hp, salac, then sweep with STAB move+ type raising pinch.

 

[¤Umbreon¤]

I don't want them to have abilities that other pokes have, like Clorophyll and Burn Body. I think it's kinda good with the Blaze/Torrent/Overgrow, but boring.

 

[Polursine]

Each should get their own special ability, that assists with the Pokemon itself. Sure, Blaze/Overgrow/Torrent are all good and such, but maybe after careful breeding, they can come out with a new ability.

And I'd rather them to be NEW abilities, not basic abilities seen now a days, like what ¤Umbreon¤ said.

 

[~Ero Oyagi~]

I like the current abilities as well, but don't you think it's time they changed it? The starter abilities are becoming quite repetetive IMO.

Maybe they should have different, but still unique, new abilites which are still elemental based but more interesting.

 

[Vycksta]

The things is with the starts is that they are considered special, seeing as... well, you only get them from the start. Giving them unique to them abilities is part of that package. :/

 

[ziakra]

Grass starters=Flash Fire
Fire starters=Water absorb
Water starters=Volt absorb

that would be good enough for me ...hehehe

While I understand why they all have the same 'special' ability, I'd rather that they each had an ability unique to themselves. Having four lines of starter Pokemon all with Overgrow or Blaze is somewhat tedious.

 

[Dark Master Zork]

i say that thay shold keep there normal ablitys and gain diffrent abblitys according to what you breed with as some have sed and that shold make them more special

 

[Darkfall]

I wouldn't mind Charizard having levitate and loosing it's flying type for Dragon... sine that'd eliminate it's 4xWeakness to ROCK and ICE would do neutral damage...but i'm probebly alone in that one XD...

Although it's a shame they're sepcial unique abilities arn't better...of course not for the first stage of the starters since...lvl 5 Torchic with..iunno random noob made ability that makes all FIRE attacks critical hits or something...
Just wouldn't be fun...

But having abilities for a certain move is kinda daft too, since if you didn't use solorbeam then 'greenhouse' would be pointless...

So they should concentrate of giving the starters a bit more of en edge, whilst keeping them balanced and still unique...

good luck.

 

[TurtleLove]

It does sound like a good idea at first, BUT, when you think about it...

The starters are meant to be balanced, none of the are SUPPOSED to really stand out much from the others.

Even though they really aren't all that balanced, having new abilities would probably break that balance even furthur.
