>full fledged official battle sim>cross platform>customizable sets>connects to HOME so I can battle my childhood bros again>megas vs. dynamaxWhere the fuck is it? This service, if it actually is what it promises to be, is sort of my pokemon dream come true, but I haven't seen squat??
>>58913262Because just like every pokemon spinoff game they don't reveal shit until it's a about to release. Pocket, Unite, Sleep, Masters, etc we hardly had any info until the game was actually in our hands. The good news is Champions will be out soon and we'll most definitely get a release date on Pokemon Day. VGC is switching to Champions in April so the game is 100% coming out in the next 2 months.
>>58913262>connects to HOME so I can battle my childhood bros againassuming your bros will even be in the limited roster of mons available at launch
>>58913262Just watch this be a glitchy mess
>>58913262>Where the fuck is it? idk anon how many days until pokemon day?
>>58913738It's looking like a fairly big roster for release. The first format is megas so every mon with a mega is pretty much guaranteed which is almost 100 mons on it's own.
>tfw crushing all the normie mobile kiddies with my full team of shinies and decades of competitive knowledge
It's going to release RIGHT EXACTLY during pokemon day Mark my words and screenshot this
>>58913892It's made by ILCA. It's going to be glitchy.
>>58913974I highly doubt it will be the exact day. Especially since they recently fucked up the Friends shadowdrop on the last Presents.
>>58913941>The first format is megas so every mon with a mega is pretty much guaranteedand how do you know that
>>58913262How will they monetize this?
>>58914048Battlepass and Home
>>58914036Because they announced the first season would be megas.
>>58914048It has some kind of paid beginner's pack according to the website.
>>58914067and how do you know they'll have all the megas
>>58914048By juicing the mobile phone shitters while people with real games can simply transfer everything from Home.
>>58913892>>58914007That's why the game was subject to multiple internal delays and changes in leadership and team structure. GF knows it can't manage development on their own, but they're paranoid about letting outsiders work on the main series. Their other problem is retention, which is a big reason for Gear Project stuff like Beast of Reincarnation. The newly established "Pokemon Works" is basically their way of absorbing outside studios to train devs on Pokemon-specific skillsets.
>>58914067They also revealed terastralisation being in too (almost as if they're just using the gimmicks of the generation, than adhering to some spergy wishlist) and ALSO said not everything that's available in-series will be allowed in Champions (indicating seasonal rotations for things and rulesets/allowed gimmicks).
>>58914188All gimmicks are confirmed. Tera, Dyanamax, Z-Moves, and Megas. The player character has a wristband with all the gimmicks on them.
Just release already, FFS.
>>58914285pokemon day soon. trust the plan.
I just wanna know the abilities of the ZA megas. GIVE THEM TO ME NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW
