Abilities are retarded. Stop being an autistic about spreadsheets and enjoy the fucking gameplay

God, you faggots make me sick.

SORRY SMOL INDIE COMPANY NOW PREASE PAY $59.99

While I would not have minded abilities, I am very happy IVs are gone. I should not have to make hundreds of the same pokemon to get a 1/1000000 chance of getting the one I want. I just want to battle people.

but the spreadsheets are the gameplay. without strategic mechanics like skills and held items pokemon is just a competitive button masher.

>competitive
>single player

Why should anyone care?
It is a Pokémon game, therefore it is automatic cringe garbage.

>GAMEPLAY GAMEPLAY GAMEPLAY
No, catching Pokemon and then letting them rot in your PC box isn't fun.

Abilities and IV's are fucking stupid.
I have played Pokemon games since I was 4 and my strategy has always been "choose strong move" and it has never failed me once.

>where's the [useless thing that doesn't improve the game at all]?
I'm glad I don't have autism

If that's really not bait, I'm glad I'm not a delusional retard.

Abilities are nice, if anything got the axe it should have been Natures. They literally exist just to fuck you over.
>Oh cool, a Machamp!
>Catch it, check PC box
>-ATK Nature
Every fucking time.

>nooooo you don't understand I NEED to waste 10 hours to get the moving pixel with the rare code attached to it!

>>No, catching Pokemon and then letting them rot in your PC box isn't fun.

I agree. So why does this game want to incentivize you catching upwards of 25 of the same mon for Pokedex entries? Pokemon Go was fun for a while, but I don't want that shit affecting actual Pokemon games

i thought it was dumb. i thought you tossed rocks at pokemon and didn't have battles. user's here roasted me. so i bought it today, and i have to say, its comfy. open world is nice.

I bought this for my wife because she's my Pokemon Master. She's only 1 pokemon away from completion of the NatDex. Marshadow I think is the last one she needs. Anyway, she absolutely loves this game.

Why do I have a feeling Gamefreak is gonna add a true online aspect and make people pay fir it?

Yeah, OP doesn't realize that this game is doing God's work by filtering those fucking awful resetters who waste their lives away resetting the game to get the perfect nature, IVs and EVs. I never really played attention to abilities. They only really matter for competitive anyway, and competitive Pokémon takes all the fun away because they have so many dumb rules.

Because you still have effort values and serves as another way to level up your other mons through catching or harvesting and not just battles.

Tbh, considering the gameplay style, I'm not sure Abilities would actually matter in this game, especially with no multiplayer battles that I'm seeing thus far

You can literally just catch one and kill 25
