>>56473355I should have specified I meant for past gens. Showdown doesn’t offer any kind of ladder for past gen AG, and even then AG isnt really what I meant. More like official nintendo rules, so unique species clause, item clause, etc would still be in play and there would still be certain pokemon bans (mew and mewtwo werent allowed in official gen 1 tournaments, for example).
You can set that up on showdown with custom rules but need to go out and find someone ahead of time for that. I’d love a battle sim like showdown that uses past official rules, where it’s easy to just get on ladder and quickly match with people.
Not sure if there’d be enough of an audience for it to take off, but at least the people complaining about bans would have an alternative. I guess this wouldnt match the old version of whatever old gen ou they want back, though.
