RKS System is an objectively bad ability, because from a programming standpoint it has no reason to be an ability at all, it could've just been part of the effect of the Memory items.
Is Pikachu's ability "can receive the effect of a Light Ball"? No, it's Static or Lightning Rod.
Is Chansey's ability "can receive the effect of a Lucky Punch"? No, it's Natural Cure or Serene Grace or Healer.
Is Ditto's ability "can receive the effect of a Metal Powder or Quick Powder"? No, it's Limber or Imposter.
Is Cubone and Marowak's ability "can receive the effect of a Thick Club"? No, it's Rock Head or Lightning Rod or Cursed Body or Battle Armor.
Is Clamperl's ability "can receive the effect of a Deep Sea Scale or Deep Sea Tooth"? No, it's Shell Armor or Rattled.
Is Farfetch'd's ability "can receive the effect of a Stick"?, No, it's Keen Eye or Inner Focus or Defiant.
Is Genesect's ability "can receive the effect of any Drive item"?, No, it's Download.
But for some reason, Game Freak decided that Memory items aren't simply items that affect Silvally.
Multi type is the same. The real issue is that the memories don't offer a 20% boost like plates do.
We had this thread yesterday.
It's because the rules for what constitutes an ability is 100% fluid. They can make an ability basically anything. They chose to have it mimic Arceus' more powerful ability because while they could have made it a different ability and relied on the items, they didn't for lore reasons.

>Multi type is the same.
That's ONE.
Pikchu, Chansey, Ditto, Cubone, Clamperl, Fatfetch'd, Genesect. That's SEVEN.
>>31039390
stupid thread made by a stupid person.

He doesn't even need a good ability. All he needs is 5 more points in all of his stats. That puts him in a decent speed tier, and allows him to be a bulky boosting sweeper.
Recover would also be nice. Eviolite Type: Null w/ Recover would be an absolute monster.
>>31039390
You realise the only one you kind of have a point with is Genesect, right?
Even then it's type doesn't change.

And you'll note that none of these items change the Pokémon's type.

What the memories need to do is provide a boost like the Arceus plates do, that way it wouldn't be an entirely wasted item slot.
>>31039515
What memories need to do is not take up half of my bag for a Pokémon that I don't even use. Christ.
>>31039430
They should've done that, and if they wanted to get the point across of it being a lesser Arceus, make each form Normal/othertype. At least then Normal/Ghost would get some use.
>>31039782
Either that or drop Memory items entirely and make RKS System work with Z-crystals.

>17 Arceus Plates
>17 Silvally memories

>and a shitload of z-crystals
GF needs to either start adding more bag subcategories or trimming the items. Since Silvally's memories can only be used by it, it could've easily been condensed into a multi-purpose key item like the Zygarde Cube
If GF wanted to make Silvally unique they just should've change its ability the other way arround.
fE: "RKS System changes the Typing of Silvally and amplifies specific Stats by 5 depending on the memory it uses"
Dragon Memory: Dragon Type/ +5 to Spe, Att
Steel Memory: Steel Type/+5 to Def, SpD
And so on
>>31039935
Don't forget Reveal Glass
>>31039471
Which Pokémon was it designed to mimick though
>>31039935
I'd kill for a collective subsection in Key Items with subsections for all the stuff you listed.
It's such a simple solution.
Multitype is an objectively bad ability, because from a programming standpoint it has no reason to be an ability at all, it could've just been part of the effect of the Plate items.
Is Pikachu's ability "can receive the effect of a Light Ball"? No, it's Static or Lightning Rod.
Is Chansey's ability "can receive the effect of a Lucky Punch"? No, it's Natural Cure or Serene Grace or Healer.
Is Ditto's ability "can receive the effect of a Metal Powder or Quick Powder"? No, it's Limber or Imposter.
Is Cubone and Marowak's ability "can receive the effect of a Thick Club"? No, it's Rock Head or Lightning Rod or Cursed Body or Battle Armor.
Is Clamperl's ability "can receive the effect of a Deep Sea Scale or Deep Sea Tooth"? No, it's Shell Armor or Rattled.
Is Farfetch'd's ability "can receive the effect of a Stick"?, No, it's Keen Eye or Inner Focus or Defiant.
Is Genesect's ability "can receive the effect of any Drive item"?, No, it's Download.
The only reason it wasn't scrapped for another ability is because at least the plates can be used for other Pokemon

>Fatfetch'd
That hurt me on a personal level.
