Continuation of #11. When a species have more than one ability, is sometimes tricky to get a Pokémon with the one you want. The game must provide an easy way of doing that.

Describe the solution you'd like
I suggest adding an "Ability Tutor" NPC that can make your Pokémon change it's ability to another of the ones defined for it's species.

Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative could be implementing an easy way of getting the ability you want by breeding.

Additional context
Here you can find how to add an Ability Tutor that can teach any ability to any Pokémon. We could take that implementation and adapt it to allow teaching only the abilities defined for each species.

The graphics of small and/or crawling pokemons on the right side of the enemy field may get covered by the player's second pokemon bar in double combats.
This causes that these pokemons don't get completely shown and the ball in the catching sequence shakes somewhat hidden by the bar.

All double combats against trainers are disabled, even those which were originally double ones.
This shall be done after all trainers' pokemon sets have been defined to avoid game crashes.

Upon catching a pokemon from over 4th generation, the pokedex entry scene is shown using Torchic instead of the catched pokemon itself.

Currently the battle interface doesn't show so many useful info. The rectangle on the lower right corner shows the PPs and type of the selected move, but nothing else.
Given that we introduced the physical/special split and could potentially change some of the well know effectiveness between types, the players will have to consult the statistics screen more frequently and / or memorize the changes we have made. Either variant creates unnecessary discomfort.

Describe the solution you'd like

We could to take advantage of that rectangle on the lower right corner to show 2 more types of info:

• The "TYPE" word could be replaced for a 4 letter word that indicates if the selected move is physical (PHYS), special (SPEC) or status (STAT) according to the split.
• The entire line "TYPE/type_name" could be of a different color according to the effectiveness of the selected move against the selected target. Green for x2 or more, Red for 1/2x or less, Black for 0x and statndard (Gray) for 1x

Describe alternatives you've considered

1. Don't do it
2. Implemment only one of the suggestions

Additional context
