>>36356021Oh shit up, all evidence points to no held items and no abilities, they weren't in Gen 1, they aren't in GO, they would "overwhelm" the LGPE audience, and no items makes the game easier for Gamefreak because now they don't need to go through the effort of actually putting crucial items like Leftovers and Berries all throughout a copypasted, 1:1 to the GB map Kanto with no extra areas.
However, they know damn well better than to publicly announce they cut abilities and held items, even going as far as to attempt to dupe people by making Megamom use Dizzy Punch, an animation that always shows 2 hits, mimicking Parental Bond. It's sleezy as fuck, but they didn't try hard enough to cover themselves.
