Removing Abilities?

    How do I go to removing Abilities from the game completely? I'm trying to make a GSC-styled game, which doesn't have abilities whatsoever. If someone can help me out here, I know it should be easy when it comes to the summary screen, but I need them out of the game first.

    Is it possible to just erase abilities in the pokemon.txt file? Still, it would be nice to have them out completely.

    Thank you,

    The easy way that I can think is to change in pokemon.txt the "Abilities=ABILITYNAME" to "Abilities=". You can do all with one command using a text editor.

    Alternatively you can also change all the script abilities to false, like where is "isConst?(opp1.ability,PBAbilities,:SHADOWTAG)" to "false"
     
    I should think all you'll need to do is remove all the "Abilities=" and "HiddenAbility=" lines from pokemon.txt. You can also delete abilities.txt if you want to be thorough. There's no need to mess with the scripts.

    If you don't mind the clutter, you can spend 10 seconds replacing every instance of "Abilities=" and "HiddenAbility=" with something random, such as "Bob=". Lines beginning "Bob=" will just be ignored, and the important point is that there won't be lines beginning "Abilities=", etc. so no Pokémon will have abilities. It's much quicker than going through and deleting the lines, but as I said, it's clutter.
