When you hover over an ability name in the team-builder the description box that pops up is outdated for abilities that gained additional effects in generation 6. For example Oblivious does not mention that it grants an immunity to Taunt and Overcoat does not mention it grants an immunity to Powder moves and Spore. According to Moogle it draws from the same file as /ability, but /ability is up to date and correct, which is odd. So what needs changing that I know of; - Oblivious needs to mention that it grants a Taunt immunity in Generation VI - Overcoat needs to mention that it grants an immunity to Powder moves and Spore in Generation VI - Infiltrator needs to mention that it negates Mist and Sub in gen VI - Keen Eye needs to state that it ignores evasion boosts in gen VI - Weather abilities should mention that they last for 5 turns in gen VI - Pickup should mention that it can obtain items the opponent has used in both gens V and VI
Its because there are 3 description files or something for everything. I was working on a fix but something messed up with translations that I couldn't figure out (iirc) and I had to abandon. EDIT: The issue with abilities is there is only 1 file for descriptions, unlike moves that get a file for each gen. I might fix this sometime soon if I feel like it.
There is two ability description files. One for Teambuilder and one for Battle Window. The ability descriptions for Battle Window seem to be the one that is up to date and much more detailed. I will try to add ability descriptions for each gen the next days, but I don't know what to do do with the current ones, because I think that having one file for Battle Window and one for Teambuilder is unnecessary. Should I remove the descriptions for Teambuilder (the outdates ones) and replace them by the Battle Window descriptions?
the intended goal was to have it similar to moves, where you have variables that get replaced according to the current gen. At the time we did have 3 ability files too iirc, but one was unused (yet it continued to be updated with 6th gen stuff) so that got deleted right away.
I changed the ability description file which is loaded in Teambuilder, so it is now using the detailed/updated one. http://puu.sh/m8kUj.png I will try to seperate the description files for each gen this weekend (not sure if I can do though)
Update: I tried to seperate the files for each Gen, but I was not able so code that the right description file is loaded depending on depending on the selected Gen. (I an a terrible programmer ._.) I hope that someone else is able to do it.
copy what moves do :) or open a pull request so i can grab what you've already completed and try to finish it for you maybe.
