If you're gonna charge 200BP for an ability capsule, you might as well let us just use them to get hidden abilities.
Really, I don't even understand why you wouldn't. You can't even get to where you buy them until post game and if everyone can do it everyone has access to hidden abilities with a fair enough skill level and that makes EVERYTHING fair
Now it's almost a fucking slog of a lottery to make it happen instead of "I earned the reward of making my old pokemon new again with its new ability"
You'd think they'd fully embrace that, but no.
