>>48026794>A company forcing you to buy two games to battle your friends is quite the monetization strategy huh?wtf are you talking about? SWSH are already out. GF isn't forcing you to buy another game so you can do online battles for PLA. It's not comparable to DP requiring PBR to play online against randoms.
>The fact that you're relegating people who like battles to "VGC/Compfags" shows how disconnected you are from the core Pokemon experience. It's always been about catching, trading, and battling with your friends.Cope. PLA will still have trading, but it's supposed to be an adventure game with action/quicktime elements. I'm fine with competitive, but it should be its own thing. GF and TPCI need to copy/paste Showdown as standalone Switch game for ranked comp that gives the player total freedom with teambuilding if they actually want VGC to be accessible.
