I'm always a fan of twisting the formula. Sun Moon's "trials instead of gym and the league is a new event brought to the region" was neat, but this is significantly cooler.
So yeah the "championship is ACTUALY working like a sporting event" thing is definitely pretty good.
>>39374858What kind of retarded shit is this? Of course it's "just a gym battle", that's because gym battles are just battles. That's like saying Battle Frontier is shit because it's just battles with no items even though you can realistically force yourself to never use items in the normal gameplay, making Battle Frontier worthless.
