Hopeful for Gen 8
Didn't someone from GF say they want to make battles simpler? Maybe these abilitys will get removed
I doubt Abilities will ever get removed at all. Removing them means a lot of Pokémon are going to be nerfed and some even depend on Abilities to even be viable.Didn't someone from GF say they want to make battles simpler? Maybe these abilitys will get removed

That is the thing though. Let's say they want to change how Pokemon is done down to the battle style. Things would have to change. With that said that could be as simple as putting in combos and letting you dodge while keeping everything else. Let's just hope it doesn't become like YWI doubt Abilities will ever get removed at all.

True that Abilities would be the easiest thing to cut down because they're not as significant as types, Pokémon and moves but I still doubt Game Freak will bother do any changes to it. Abilities is not just a game-limited mechanic and Pokémon in the anime have been shown to activate Abilities.That is the thing though.

How about a version of Intimidate, but it reduces the special attack of the opponent rather than the physical attack stat.
Yeah I'd like one that reduces Speed considering that there are more faster Pokémon than special attackers and the speed creeping that happens a lot in competitive especially with the recent Tapu Koko. And considering that Sticky Web isn't one of the most widespread moves and that ungrounded Pokémon are immune to it.What about a version of intimidate that lowers Speed or either of the defenses
I'd like some abilities with the field effect of making say water or psychic types more likely to appear.
Psychic shield-Absorbs all psychic type moves.
That name's a lot betterHm... maybe we could call it Mind Trap: All Psychic moves are drawn to this Pokemon and absorb some HP. (Out of battle effect causes Psychic types to appear more often).
That be nice, but honestly not as useful. Special attackers are far less common.
