Brailip's Rock Head ability

[Iron]

The original devs and the beta testers were discussing alternate abilities for Brailip. Unfortunately they are in the archive and I can't go see the list, but basically every ability ever possessed by a water or psychic type, or fish even, came up.

@owlsomniac and @AgentParadox:

If you look at the patch notes for 1.0.4, you'll quickly solve the mystery of current lack of watering your Berries:



In other words, the Sprayduck and Mulch may not be there right now, but they are coming.  I wouldn't be surprised if they became available in the next update, whenever it gets released.

I completely agree to givivng it another ability!  

But what would be a fitting ability to take its place I wonder?  

A unique abilty would always be fun... but apart from that, I say maybe insomina, or maybe even serene grace.
I'm thinking just a standard psuchic ability would be good... at least better than rock head!

Anyway, I'm curious to (if it changes) what ability it'll get

Oh man! LOL! Well, I guess it's good to know it's been talked about before? XD

@EeveeBailey
Oh, nice! I didn't think to check the latest patch in regards to that, honestly. Good to know it's in the works, though c:

@Nylon
Haha, me too. It's a pretty cool water pokemon imo compared to a lot of the official water "fish" pokemon we've seen in last generations c:

Yeah, I just wish it had its own cry instead of Venomoth's.

A huge amount of audio in the game in general reuses audio and remixed music from official games, with a couple of exceptions where music is reused from non-Pokemon games (along with the handful of awesome original tracks/cries), and I kind of expect the unreleased legendaries to also reuse cries from official legendaries. It would be admittedly difficult work to do new audio/music from scratch for everything, so I can't imagine it being high on anyone's priorities right now. Not that I really mind, honestly, though if it could be done further down the line after everything else is done (along with filling in animations for attacks that currently don't have one), that would make it feel like a truly complete game.
