>>31318503I tried converting all of my friends to showdown. Didn't work as we all can't stay monitor bound for too long.
I play with 5 other people IRL. We play normally until we can obtain everything. Then we have everything from shitmon to legend battles to competitive nuzlocke runs
We have a lot more fun with the normal pokemon game. Plus we buy the physical copies so we can trade them for the next game. Ive only paid $6 for the games since pearl.
