>>55502009>Inserting yourself into a conversation without reading the conversationWell you clearly werent following along. He wasnt saying Cherrim would have ever been cut, he was saying that an ability being a necessity on a Pokemon wouldnt prevent it from getting in. Even if we did assume Medicham HAS to have Pure Power to exist (it doesnt, as evident by the fact that it has Telepathy as an HA), you cant use the reasoning that "It wasnt included because abilities aren't in" when there's 2 examples of Pokemon with unique abilities retaining them. HZoroark was used as an inverse example, of a Pokemon generally understood to depend on its ability being in without the ability being active.
The ultimate point was in service of the idea that you cant just expect any given Pokemon to be present in PLZA just because it was present in Kalos, and thus the elemental monkeys are not a shoe in. Not sure why thats so fuckin hard to understand.
