It seems like GF is just planning on mostly abandoning that
>>58398242Nope, the leaks all proof what the leaker said as true. Champions will be the only turn based game going forward.
They've been abandoning being a traditional JRPG since X and Y. Every step they take away from Dragon Quest design principles the worse the games are.
>>58398242champions garbage exists exactly for thatit has all the gimmickshit too just in case you felt they were gatekeeping you with actual good gameplay instead of turn based slop with the same shitty meta and comps
>>58398242What a bleak and bright future
>>58398242Japan Pokemon dies at gen4Full dex Pokemon dies at gen 8Turn based Pokemon dies at gen 9
>>58398242Gen 10.>>58398255If the mainline games aren't turn based how would people even get into Champions?>come learn the pvp for this game, it's completely different than the game you were playingLike, they clearly will continue making turn based games both for children and so Champions has a source of players feeding into it.
>>58398337Champions is for competitive fags, not for your average kid.Gen 10 is also modeled into a ZA style game. Did you see how all the Hisui could be utilised for competitive battle in the game they debuted in? No, you had to transfer them to SV the VGC game. Champions is just that going forward, the VGC game.
>>58398503So what's the point of VGC if it doesn't actually play like the games? How do kids and new players get into VGC if it's not like the games? The entire point of Champions is to be the Battle Stadium part of the mainline games extracted into its own game so they can have a good experience in pvp without Game Freak having to worry about supporting it in every game.
>>58398946My guy Champions is the go to game for strategic turn based games.Wind and Waves is scheduled for 2026Galar Legends game is scheduled for 2027Japan multi region game is scheduled for 2028All these games serve as way to dumb new Pokemon, Champions is there to close the bridge for competitive players.>how will new players...Those who want to play compeititve Pokemon will have to play Champions and there it will have shit ton of information and explanation. The games coming out won't have enough lifespan to create any sort of competitive atmosphere since that isn't even their goal, that's all for Champions.
>>58398281Real-time, anime-style battles would be kino
>>58398242Well we know Legends Galar will NOT have turn based gameplay since the concept showed the cooldown on the moves. Not sure we know about Gaia
>>58398337ZA isn't turn based and we all know we will have all the Megas in Champions sooner or later. ZA doesn't even have abilities and plays totally differently.
>>58398990Wrong>Pokopia is 2026>Pokopia DLC is 2027>Wind/Wave DLC is 2027>Galar Legends is 2028>Seed is 2029trust me
>>58398990And I am saying it makes no sense for the pvp of your game to not be the same gameplay as the single player. If the single player games aren't turn based, then there would be no reason for Champions to exist. This isn't even bringing up the fact the games are targeted at young children who struggle with turn based gameplay, much less anything real time.
>>58399066You do know that VGC is divided in age groups right? The turn based game in SV doesn't even emulate VGC gameplay for example. SV removed the option to have set turns off. So even the basic gameplay has nothing to do with VGC and competitive Pokemon is so much more complex than the main campaign. With champions you will have different modes that emulate competitive experience.Ganefreak has no need to stick with turn based games when they can be innovative with the main games and just port all the introduced Pokemons into Champions.I dont even understand why you keep doubting leaks when the more info that comes out, the more it makes it true.
>>58399066You do know that ZA has it's own style of online pvp right? Those who want old school turn based competitive Pokemon can just play Champions, that's the whole point of Champions.
