Ability Info Screen: User should be able to click on abilities to see information about them #183

Closed UTDZac closed 2 years ago

Version: 0.6.1

This is a new feature request to allow users to be able to click on the Ability text area to see an Info Screen (similar to Move data) to learn more about how the ability works. This is a great feature for users who are less experienced with Pokemon games, or want a reminder about the specifics of a certain ability.

With this change, the current functionality of clicking on an ability to manually change what ability is tracked for an enemy Pokémon needs to be changed. I suggest moving the contents of that form to the Notes form and preserving the functionality of being able to manually set the abilities. Typically this manual tracking won't be necessary because of the improvements to auto-ability tracking added in 0.6.0.

A potentially accurate source for ability data and any bonuses they might have: https://strategywiki.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_FireRed_and_LeafGreen/Abilities
