>New Pokemon game keeps all the competitive-friendly shortcut mechanics introduced in the 3D era (IV maxing, nature adjustment, EV resets).>Game does not have the old turn based system.>New combat system does not reward that level of granular stat minmaxing.>Can't transfer mons backwards to old games.>Next turn based games will have these mechanics.>The upcoming competitive play app will also have these mechanics, but even more streamlined.Why are bottle caps and mints even here?
You're still going to be able to transfer mons to other games, just not older gens. You're still going to transfer these mons over to Pokémon Champions, the new home for competitive turn based pokemon where that minmaxing still exists.
>>724637401Yeah, but both of those will have the minmaxing mechanics in place already. So what the fuck is the point in having them in Z-A, where my Garchomp's speed doesn't mean shit?
>>724637219Are you retarded? There's literally an online PVP mode that they're incentivizing people to play and yes those items do actually matter for not having a dogshit mon. If you want to play online without Mints and your Modest Gyarados be my guest but most people want to play with mons that aren't dog shit.
Never ever, Margo.
>competitive pokemonsomehow even worse than the subhumans buying these half asses n64 games. they're trying to survive in a quarter assed environment by now.
>>724637219Honestly I hope they do two directions at once. New 3D style and classic 2D turn based style.
>>724637219Bro no body cares, post girls or shut up
>>724637219>SV is the last real Pokemon gameCrazy but it kind of makes sense.
>>724637219Take the Pokémon GO pill
>>724638272
>>724637219Pokeslop lost
>>724637219The comp mode is just for fun it's pretty obvious they have no real plans for long term PLZA pvp since they're allowing box legends already
>>7246375133 points in Atk doesn't do shit in the new system.
>>724637219don’t understand why they still removed abilities but kept every single other competitive-related mechanic
>>724639737Abillities are too much fun
>>724639737Exactly. When the stats mean less and abilities aren't in, and the game doesn't directly reward mass-catching, it makes no sense to keep elements that allow you to meta build within this game. Forcing you to deal with nature or IVs would encourage players to catch and trade more.
>>724639737I get why they removed some of the situational ones (too OP in new system, needs new implementation, or is hard to parse at speed), but they should have kept a neutered version for the flavor/type chart adjustment ones, like Levitate.
>>724639737Could be something added back in the next Legends type game. It wasn’t in Arceus either, but that had its own system with Effort Levels. Shame there’s no rewards for releasing pokes like what Arceus did.
>>724639737Too much work redoing some of the abilities that are explicitly designed around turn-based combat. Like, how are you gonna do Prankster?
>>724641258Could reduce cooldown on status moves.But yeah, there's a shitload of abilities they'd have to go through and entirely rework.
