>>42030225>>42030459>more fair AIDo you actually think the AI cheat? First of all, this has never been proven, and in fact nothing in the code of the games has ever supported this; it's pure confirmation bias. Secondly, "the AI other than Leon will never Dynamax" and "there are zero restrictions on what Pokemon you bring" are not "more fair," unless you're bad and actually needed these handicaps.
>theres a rank systemWhich doesn't mean jack shit, because it's just a measurement of how long until you get to Leon, which is an inevitability rather than anything involving skill.
>doesnt necessarily make tree better just because it had different looking npcs occasionallyIt actually does, because it was people you'd met throughout the game , or even in previous games, and it was fun to see what they'd use. I don't give a shit about the generic NPCs inhabiting the Galar Battle Tower - or Leon, for that matter.
>they do though. win more and youll seeNo, they don't. You don't get a prize for a reaching certain milestones (unlike the Battle Tree), BP doesn't increase with each win (again unlike the Battle Tree), there's no actual reward of any kind except getting to see Leon. Which, again, is an inevitability rather than based on playing well, because there's no actual penalty for losing other than the current round resetting.
>how is this a problem?All it's doing is introducing fake longevity by making you have to grind for longer, rather than gradually giving you more BP the longer your streak goes - yet again, unlike the Battle Tree.
>but for core singles and doubles battling i think the tower is a direct upgrade from the treeIn what way? You've yet to say how these are an upgrade in any conceivable way.
