Omg. I love that guy.

I hope he does, I'd live to watch it!

You wouldn't live otherwise? D:

I suddenly have an idea for an ability (Smogon format, just because ).

Spoiler

Crasher
Description
Cancels out all abilities of Pokemon currently on the field (minus Crasher itself, for fear of a paradox); maintains effect until affected Pokemon switch out.
Effects already "finalized" by abilities (such as weather or stat boosts brought on by abilities) are not cancelled, however.

Competitive Use
In singles, this ability could be used to negate the ability of Pokemon such as Politoed, Breloom, Gliscor, and Shedinja, as well as other abilities such as Prankster and Moxie; the uses are nearly endless.
In Ubers, this ability could be used to prevent weather before it occurs, or in some cases, prevent Rayquaza from negating its effects, etc.
In doubles, however, its effect is not limited to merely opposing Pokemon: it can be used on Pokemon such as Slaking and Regigigas in order to provide their full bulk and power, un-hindered by their abilities, while still crippling an unprepared opponent. A sudden switch-in can cause the opponent to damage themselves (such as when Politoed uses Surf while Gastrodon is out).

Found Normally
Symbolen - Dark/Psychic

Found in Dream World
Unown - Psychic

It seems like something that could easily be banned within a short time... Yet, the potential!!

Umm... Mold Breaker?

As far as I can understand, it does exactly what you're describing.

Mold Breaker only stops certain abilities, such as Volt Absorb, Heatproof, and other abilities that hinder moves used by the Mold Breaker user.
My idea gets rid of ALL abilities and cancels out their effect (unless, for example, the weather has been previously placed before the Pokemon is sent out) regardless of whether it affects the Pokemon with the ability or not.

Ah ha ha. That's not what I'm talking about though...

Practically, what would the difference be? Mold Breaker nullifies all relevant in-battle abilities anyway, apart from those activating on the switch-in (Intimidate, for instance). I don't really see Volbeat crying over losing Illuminate, or Blissey's Natural Cure not working while it's in battle (after all, the ability only takes effect after you switch out).

Or, well, perhaps nullfying Truant or Slow Start in Doubles could have some interesting effects. And it appears that Mold Breaker doesn't stop Prankster, Pressure or Guts.

As I mentioned, Shedinja would become very useless if the opponent used a Pokemon with Crasher (thinking of a new name for it ); Pokemon like Gliscor and Breloom that use Toxic Heal (or Pokemon with Guts) would be damaged by their held items instead of healed (or boosted, in the case of Guts), and, if sent as a lead, might be able to stop weather by Politoed/Ninetales/Kyogre/Groundon/Tyranitar.
Pokemon with Moxie would be less dangerous; Arceus would be unable to use Multitype, which would automatically revert it to normal form.

In Hackmons (always thinking outside of the box, I am ), the ability might be put on something like Deoxys-S or a wall (with a Lum Berry, obviously) to get the upper hand over opponents early in the battle and surprise them.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but with Genesect's appearance in this, I think that means that every Generation 5 Pokemon has FINALLY appeared in the anime. Yay!

I was really disappointed with the Keldeo movie...

I was really disappointed with the Keldeo movie...

ME TOOOOOO OMFG.

All it was was Keldeo being a little bitch and Kyurem playing tag with it. Then he doesn't even beat him at the end, he just damages him "enough." I hope the next movie is better than just this and actually has a decent plot....

I'm getting sick of this friendship overcomes everything shit.

Actually, I already have.
