You know what I would like?
Pokemon to have two abilities (A main ability and a complimentary "mini-ability" of some sort)
These mini-abilities wouldn't be as potent as the main abilities (like soundproof, levitate, water viel, etc). They are hidden from the player, and they would have trivial effects on pokemon. Few (like 35 or so) would exist, so 40+ pokemon could share the same mini-ability. In addition, a single pokemon species would only have one mini-ability, to prevent breeding problems (like accidentally breeding a pokemon with a useless mini-ability instead of a useful one).
like for example
One mini-ability could boost a pokemon's defense by 10% at 30% health (sorta like guts in some fighting games like tvc)
Another mini-ability could increase a pokemon's attack by 5% from being hit by super effective attacks. It would cap after 5 super effective hits. Bulky pokemon like snorlax and slaking might have that
Although, I would really like a mini-ability that increases a pokemon's speed by 30% if switched in and nearly killed by an incoming attack. Fragile pokemon like alakazam could have that
Some negative mini-abilities could exist too. Like a mini-ability that eliminates a ground type's immunity to electric-type moves during the rain. This could explain why Brock's Onix was KO'd by pikachu's thunderbolt when the gym's sprinklers went off
dunno, just a thought
