Coulda Woulda Shoulda: Ditto

[Razola]

This boy had POTENTIAL with the release of Ru/Sa. With the introduction of characteristics, he could have had transform be said characteristic, that way a turn isn't wasted transforming. That helps him out a lot. I also would say that he wouldn't have 5 pp of every move. Full or half of the max PP.

But instead he is what, immune to paralysis? Holy smokes. Watch out Hoenn: Ditto is going to rock your world!

Poor ditto.

I'll say... damnit, Gamefreak, why must you make some Pokemon with absolutely worthless charcteristics? Ditto should have had Transform as a characteristic... and why doesn't Snorlax have lazyness?

On the topic of transform, does it copy the opponent's characteristic when it transforms?

[Rei_Zero]

I find it really logical. Since tranform is a move when you transform you become to other pokemon with everything it has. What use would attacks be if it transforms and doesn't have those moves anymore??

[Razola]

Just like Kecelon's ability to change type, Ditto would automatically become his opponent when he is released, gaining their stats, characteristics, and moves. I don't see why that would be hard to implement.

Well, the deal with Snorlax is that they're incorporating something from the TV show. Snorlax can eat even poisoned food and old, bad food without becomeing poisoned. That's the idea behind Snorlax not being poisoned. And besides, I don't think that Snorlax is strong enough to really use Laziness. Now, I've had an idea for a characteristic (its on three of my fake Pokémon) called Nap or NapTime, where you randomly rest during battle, but can't sleep more than you're awake. That would be an appropriate characteristic for Snorlax.
