When will Game Freak get rid of the Blaze/Torrent/Overgrow abilities for starters? It limits their potential and the chance for a different ability, especially if their HA is bad.

The abilities are made to be easily understandable, and while they're not the best, I wouldn't say they're bad. They can be quite useful at times during playthroughs.

No, that’s not the point. Some starters have okay but incredibly situational abilities, others have ludicrously broken abilities, and the rest are stuck in the pits of irrelevancy because their HA is worse than the stock ability.

They're the perfect abilities for in-game: iconic, simple and effective.
They're not gonna design starters to be competitive and never will.

Blaze, Overgrow, and Torrent are literally bottom of the barrel abilities. Very few are worse than them outside of shit that is supposed to hinder the Pokemon.

Explain Blaziken, Greninja, Cinderace, and Rillaboom then.

Their abilities were chosen to be fitting, just like most other starters.
>Greninja
It's fast because it's a ninja. It blends in because it's a ninja.
>Cinderace
Expanding on the football theme with defensive and offensive variety, like a libero.
>Rillaboom
Giving new abilities to more Pokemon the next Gen is common and Galar has shit for grass-types.

To GF, Damp is equal to Speed Boost because they don't think in Smogon.

Its not just those, I would say most abilities need a rework! Or the system needs to be overhauled completely. In my opinion, there should not exit "useless" abilities and the "hindering" abilities should have a positive on them, not being just pure negative. Example, slow start, hinders your atk and spd but could for example increase your def and sdef i do not know.. Defeatist hinders your stats when low hp but maybe give an increase when full hp.. etc... And all abilities should always have a battle effect, just rework shit like Illuminate and Honey Gather... And most important, pkm should be able to have more than 2 abilities and a single h.ability... give them more abilities we can breed and more h.abilities we can choose from!

Starters are supposed to be shit. You’re supposed to box them when you find a better option.

If they really wanted to they could just give every starter a secondary ability but lock the one you get to the starter ability.

You do know that those abilities are pretty good right? They're extremely useful in competitve (not as much as other abilities, but they still are) and they're very good in game too.
Only a child wouldn't understand.

I always thought part of the reason for the 1HP amie endure was to make you feel anime with the starter abilities
