>>41800895>Like, this is just gonna be a mod and won't be able to use online stuff I assumeMost likely. Nobody knows how the game will handle if a modded game fights with a non-modded game yet but it's bound to break badly.
>Part of this just seems to me like people wanting it to exist/happen as some kind of validation that it's possible, but that's completely unnecessaryYep, the only reason people started this was to flex on GF, although realistically I see this as a feat in the pokemon modding community. The 3D games share similar engines and despite having 6+ years on these engines, no modder has ever implemented modded mons before. The new tools being made to port mons, moves, and more to SwSh would open new doors for crazier pokemon mods. This would also mean that when a new game come out with still cut mons, we'll already have the proper tools and experience to mod all mons in days.
