>>48774893I don't think so. Gamefreak could literally just release their own official version of Showdown right now and it would be the best selling Pokemon game ever. A fully 3D battle sim where you can build a perfect team, or do something random, or play one of the dumb forgotten formats that were removed in new gens for arbitrary reasons. Connect it to Home so you can import your bros if you want. Tack on a few mini games made by an intern, give them online multiplayer and bam. The casuals and the hardcores are both creaming themselves.
