Research: Special Abilities

The Dream World thing is near impossible... Gen 3 games store the ability a pokemon has in a single bit (can only be set to 0 or 1), whereas Gen 4 and 5 store abilities in a byte, allowing any pokemon to have any ability. Simply put, without a total re-write of the entire Ability engine and the Pokemon Structure... which really isn't practicle.

Oh, I get it. I guess I'll have to find a way around it, or rewrite the structure.
Didn't know it was that hard.
Could maybe a custom ASM routine do it

Yeah, you'd need to write lots of new routines... That's the problem. xD
