Does anyone else see abilities as something they could add in the game's future? Obviously it would be a pain in the ass for gym (or trainer?) battles, but having it dependent on whichever your buddy is and give overworld bonuses like in the games could be interesting.
If your buddy has, say:
>Static
Incense has higher chance of attracting electric Pokemon
>Intimidate
The chances of wild pokemon having low CP decrease
>Regenerator
Pokemon regains half HP for every 5km walked
>Flame Body
Eggs take 1/2 the time to hatch
>Super Luck
Gyms payouts have a chance of doubling
And so on. Or something.
