Apparently an item called an Omni Ring will activate mechanics like mega evolution and dynamax.

>Omni Ring
Why do they need an in-universe explanation for how you're using every gimmick?
Is Champions going to have a story?

Thank fuck. SV have such awful presentation for battles, it completely killed my interest in ranked. No more copypaste grandma NPCs in the background or mons going into low poly mode.

because why not? you don't need a proper storyline to have it fit within the lore, especially when it's as easy as adding a ring to the player model

Are they going to balance things? As it stands dynamax is much more powerful than mega, tera, and z-shit.

Will they really slam the C&D hammer on showdown? Does this mean we should download the repository off github in case it gets taken down? What are the folks at smogon saying?

I wouldn't say it's guaranteed but it's not like Nintendo hasn't done it before, they let Project M live free for years despite knowing about it (you literally couldn't say Project M or even PM on Miiverse when it was still around for example) but then decided to say fuck it and attacked it when Smash 4 came around. Just because they've left it alone for this long doesn't mean they always will.

That just begs the question of how money and time you need to invest. I'd be curious to try out some VGC for shits and giggles if it doesn't require me to pay full price and play for hundreds of hours just to get a team going.

Because it's the easiest way to not have to worry about slowly bloating the characters with like twenty different gimmick accessories being worn simultaneously.

Rebalance for all gimmicks hopefully, apply buffs and nerfs more actively and if necessary limit seasons/regulations to specific or certain gimmicks exclusively

It's being shilled rn to coincide with Ults Dark Ball in the anime which has a Dragonite inside of it. Typical pokemon marketing, they'll eventually release a tomy plush of it too if they haven't already.

It's gonna be like Battle Revolution: You can import a copy of your mons in, not transfer the single instance of them back-and-forth.
