If they did this for Sturdy, think of all the other possibilities; Illuminate, Pick Up, Keen Eye, Stall, and more...I may be in over my head, but with one ability change, others seem to appear just over the horizon.
Unfortunately, most of the pokemon who get Sturdy either wouldn't die in one hit or don't make very good leads. Does the ability still block OHKO moves, or is this a complete change to the ability? It may not matter in Shoddy and whatnot, and I don't expect anyone to know for sure, but it's just out of curiosity.

I only see this as something they just added for fun if your playing with friends via wireless(in the same room) I doubt anyone online will care for it much.
I'm so glad to see they are improving some abilities, if only they would tinker with a few weaker pokemon's stats >_>
Or better yet, smack a Cutsap on Forry and get your Rocks down AND your Spikes...
I'm gonna post this again before it gets lost in the Sturdy Shuffle:
Maybe they are related like everyone is dreaming about.

I suspect Aggron, Probopass and Forretress are the biggest beneficiaries of the the Sturdy change. Now it's like Aggron can have a Choice Band and a Focus Sash on the same set. I'm sure that means a lot to a Pokemon with poor speed.

edit:
I'm pretty sure that's just the little dragon dude getting hit by an electric attack.
The ability Sturdy is now a built-in, automatic Focus Sash.
Holy ass muffins. I can't believe Game Freak actually did this. It's like Study Pokemon can now have 2 items. Skarmory, Magnezone, Forretress, Magnezone and Aggron, along with Pileofrocks. Something tells me we might be seeing something like 2 priority attacks on every time, but then again I'm just overreacting. Yes, I'm just a crazy... I'm just a figment of my warped imagination... Wheeee....

No, that's Kibago.
Although it will have to forgo double STABed Stone Edge (aka Head Smash).
It's actually just Kibago.
It is certainly Kibago...
Also, I really like the Golem Lead Idea, with the new Sturdy and what not.
:P
If they're jacking up abilities like this, is Pickup possibly an auto-Recycle? Could say, Linoone Sub down to 25% and get Salac boosts every turn?
I wouldn't think they would change pickup. It's a good ingame ability as is
Can't disagree with that, the amount of time I spent trying to get the Earthquake TM with Pickup is rather absurd. :P
O___O Oh my. That'll increase rain dance usage for sure.
So that's their secret. Where did this come from btw?
The Eeveelutions already had great abilities anyway. Espeon and Umbreon could get better ones I guess.
Gen V will have lot of changes.
First Sturdy. Yeah. Foretress will stay OU.
Hydration on Vappy. More Rain Dance team.
You can use items online. You can revive your sweeper. Then you get points. And your sweeper dies. Then you do the method again. Isn't that just cool? No, it sucks.
Zoroark's Illusion ability. It will make it OU.
I think all of these are cool except the items online play.

The Luvdisc evo also gets Hydration and a new ability Healing Heart.
And the new Mole pokemon also gets Sand Artilery which boosts atack in sandstorms.
Im telling you, 5th generation is the Messiah of Weather Teams, especialy if Castform gets a good evo this generation.
