I want to suggest this because as battle bond will be available after the update my current greninjas will be useless, so I want to suggest something like what happened with legendary pokemons and their hidden ability, they were all rerolled to incorporate the chance of getting a new ability, also for those that prefer to keep their ability to take a screenshot of their pokemon, so we can satisfy everyone"s needs!!

Greninja's won't have their abilities changed.

May I ask how they are going to mega evolve?

 

Is it through battle bond or mega stones?

 

Thank you.

I don't quite understand. Megas mega evolve via mega stones and Greninja with Battle Bond due to Battle Bond.

Those are two completely different form changes.

I know, but due to Battle Bond not being available before, and if it did it would have been overkill without the megas in game I mind mentioning, adding mega evolutions now which are accessible immediately by pokemons that can mega evolve and having to recatch froakies to have access to the "battle bond evolution", seems to me kinda unfair and unbalanced between the pokemons.

 

Also this idea came to mind because I remember that when hidden abilities were added to the legendary pokemons, their current abilities were kind of reshuffled, now I don't know if that was a bug and I didn't mention it but I have seen that other players witnessed the same change.

 

So I thought to myself if legendaries had that kind of change, why not do the same thing with greninjas that will have a new ability added soon.

 

Now, I am not a developer so I really don't know anything about keeping the game balanced, so I respect any choices you make and hope the best for the future of this magnificent game, that's all!

 

Also, thanks for answering this thread.

The legendary always had the ability but I simply foced it to their first ability as there was no way to change it and their HA was mainly unplayable in PvP.

We did not assign new abilities but gave them back their original ones.

 

I do get your point but there won't be any kind of change for current Froakies and their evolution lines.

Ok, thanks for clearing it up!
