It's Showdown but with more useable Pokemon, moves, and abilities. You know, because of all the bans.

don’t you love when a guy has no idea about something and then treats his opinions like fact?
showdown has multiple game modes without bans
I know this and I don’t use showdown that often

Regular scene bans legendaries half the time and mythicals all the time uniquely for lore reasons, but this doesn't fit with your narrative.

I don't know what non online battlers have with this game, I have to remind people around me that it's just gonna be a battle sim for autists like me, but they keep being hyped about it for some reason.

My biggest fear is that Game Freak is going to be autistic about it and the only balance changes we'll see are movepool changes and nothing to things like stats or abilities

It's not coming out before ZA Home support, VGC is also still running SV until the end of March which indicates a March/April release.

For switchfags maybe
But mobileCHADS will get a headstart through an earlier launch and/or Singapore/Canada/NZ/whatever soft launch easily circumventable via VPN

For me I'm hoping that it doesn't have single-player content at all. Just corral all the VGC players with this thing, and make the actual mainline console games entertaining single-player experiences again.

Indeed
Switch is even available as a standard and "starter pack" version

The funnist part about this game is when they add Pokemon from new games that don't have home yet so you're forced to interact with the microtransactions because they'll make them obscenely broken like usual or lock pvp to certain origin marks/dexs

That's what I'm looking forward to. Competitive Pokemon fags being reminded that they aren't the target audience and TPC staff sees them as mindless sheep.

By getting a game catered towards them and an official competition. That will sure show them

Please confine VGC/Smogon bros to this game so that they never influence another mainline

Also same shit for VGC which isn't played outside of multiplayer

I can see a (self-imposed) gentlemen agreement about not emulating the champions formats from here.

Gamefreak excludes things all the time in their metas. Do you think champions will be different for some reason?

If I remember right I think it's like Pokémon Friends. It's 20 dollars on Nintendo with the starter pack but it's free in mobile minus the 20 dollar starter pack you buy separately.

Champions is free on both, there's no benefit to gating one version of a PvP game behind a paywall.

Will Champions even have tiers like Showdown does?
If it doesn't then there goes the "more useable Pokemon" as you claim since weaker Pokemon will never get to have a chance since everyone will be spamming the most braindead shit like Miradon and Primal Kyogre.

>>58941832
I can bet you that there will be humiliation rituals for certain Pokemon.
