New Abilities?

Hm, did they add any new abilities for Gen V? I can't even tell. Then again I am not that familiar with Gen IV. I'd be fine if they didn't add anything new. Maybe a couple more absorption abilities for different types such as Volt Absorb and Water Absorb, like one for certain Pokémon that would absorb fire or ice as well.

 

I can see it making sense as a second possible ability for Pokémon with Flame Body, like Magmar or Slugma. If you are essentially made of fire, it would make sense for you to absorb it.

 

It would be cool if the starters had awesome hidden abilities. Like for the water type, if it uses a water type move it's super effective against every type. Same for the grass and fire, only with they're main types. That seems very overpowered and unrealistic for gamefreak, but I still like the idea of it.

 

There's a huge chance of new abilities as they've been introduced with every generation since Gen III, but personally I want to see them expand more on Pick Up, like more items to be obtained and more Pokémon that have it. It's my favorite ability and so many Pokémon lose it via evolution.

 

Some abilitys simply dont fit the Pokémon they are on, and others are simply useless. Defeatist and Kluts good example of this, though the latter has its moments. So some abilitys should be replaced with something useful in the next gen

 

I think something they should add to Seviper and Zangoose is an ability that boosts their attack or something when they fight each other seeing how they have that whole rivalry between them.

 

I'd like to see something to replace Pressure. Legendary Pokémon (and some others, like Weavile) can have such better and more unique abilities.

 

Yeah, Weavile's abilities aren't at all good. Pressure is useless because the only way it will have an effect is by depleting moves with 5 PP, but those sorts of moves knock Weavile out in two hits anyway. While it's a glass cannon anyway, it could serve something better than a PP depleter. Pickpocket isn't good either, really. You often have Weavile holding a Chople berry or a move-boosting item to keep it in the game for as long as possible.

 

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE GAME FREAK, make an ability that eliminates weather for clear skies. I will literally puke rainbows if they decide to do this.

 

FREAKING. GENIUS.

 

There will probably be a ton of new abilities in X/Y. 5th gen added a decent ammount of new abilities as well as giving older Pokémon new ones through the dream world. So yea is expect to see more abilities in X/Y.

 

I think that maybe there will be some abilities that help out in sky battles or something. I don't know what it would be exactly, but it could be something that only Flying type Pokémon can have.

 

I really would like to see new abilities! especially for the legendaries!!
I hate that the most have pressure .o. They need something more cool like kyogre and groundon or zekrom and reshiram
