They're still not going to officially support the format. Your only option to play eachother is through private matches, so you might as well just keep playing on Showdown.

>>59010854I don't hate Smogon though. I'm just curious as to what this app offers 6v6 players in particular.
>>59010847There was nothing they could reasonably do to make this better than Showdown even with an official 6v6 metagame
>>59011320grimsnarlbros.......wtf is this
>>59010860People here are desperately hoping Showdown will be shut down solely out of spite. They’d rather enable an inferior, micro-transaction riddled option.
>>59010847>p2w or at least timegated>tpci or whoever runs it probably doesn't give a shit about balance >6v6 singles with non skippable long animations mean each battle will drag out foreverneither will replace one another
>>59010847I imagine they won’t. They’ll likely capture the VGC crowd if it remains the platform for VGC events following Worlds while solving the cheating issue at the same time.
>>59011401I don't want that, I use Showdown to play VGC
>>5901084730 box slots F2P, 80 if you spend money on a starter pack. (At most 20$ this is one of those mocrotransactions made to familiarize oneself with spending money in their ecosystem)If im new to doubles and want to play without spending money, I can only bring in 30 from home day 1 what are are the teams/pkm that are Core to doubles. I see alot of prankster supportmons setting tailwind, whisp, ect. Should I just make a straightforward weather team and see how far it takes me. Since we know that Mega Evo will be the first ruleset, what mega mons should I grab from ZA, Venusaur, Kangaskhan?
>>59011401I don’t. It’s the only way I can play 6v6 Advance and DPPt which Champions will absolutely not support.
>>59010847>want to at least try out VGC>have to build some gay ass complicated EV spreads like thisI’m good dawg
>>59010847Normal people just want to play with the pokemon they went through the official games with.
>>59011762and they'll actually be able to since all mons sent to Champions are auto set to 31IVs
>>59010847>smogonfags when they play a format that doesn't involve setting stealth rock then switching between 6 walls for 100 turns
If this has Rental Teams, it will succeed
>>59011822Me when I make up metagames that don’t exist
>>59011401>Out of spiteShowdown must be murdered so I can talk about the games without armchair game designers crying X Pokemon is OP because its weaknesses don't matter in 6v6 clown fiesta (and vice versa for "weak" Pokemon)
I hate all compshit and even I know showdown is better. Smogon rules are actually better too.
>>59012941>Smogon rules are actually better tooI guess it has to have all of those clauses for singles to make it more fair. I would hate if happened in doubles though, I love using Spore with Amoonguss and catching people slacking.
I WANT TO PLAY POKEMON CHAMPIONS RIGHT NOWFUCK POKOPIAFUCK TPCiFUCK NINTENDOFUCK TPWFUCK ILCAFUCK GAMEFREAK
>>59012021The only thing preventing you from having that type of discussion is your own stupidity and poor skill in thread creationAs is often the case, PEBKAC
>multiple currencies>no freeform teambuilding / highly encouraged to bring in your mons from home>battle passes already>mega stones locked behind progression/battle passwho is this even for?vgc sissies will continue to just play on the latest game, singles sissies will continue to play on ps
>>59013107>no freeform teambuildingYou can permanently unlock any available mon>mega stones locked behind progression/battle passThey will be in the ingame shop too. They've confirmed that held items won't be hard locked behind battle passes.
>>59010847Showdown will persist for Randbats, Smogon 6v6, and even VGC for both Bo3 practice and the fact it's faster to iterate changes on Showdown.
>>59011673It's not as hard as you think. You start with enough speed to outspeed a certain benchmark, then give yourself enough evs to hit a jump point in your positive nature, then put the rest into bulk. Sometimes instead of hitting a jump point you just ev to live a certain hit and then put the rest into attack and hp.
>>59013107>vgc sissies will continue to just play on the latest gameAnon, this IS their new game. VGC is being played on Champions from now on.
I guess one positive vs doing it in a game is I don't have to worry about mons getting dexcut
>>59013433There is only a select few mons you can even use. It quite literally has a dexit from day 1.
>>59013500Do you mean meta-wise, or are they actually going to tell me I can't sandbag with my awful team of shitmons?
>>59013560Like there is only a few select mons you can use or transfer over. They are adding more later but I doubt there will be a reason to add all the unevolved shitmons.
>>59013560>>59013609So many oddballs and not normally popular Pokémon will never get added. A bunch of viable NFEs like Pory2 or Chansey might not be in either potentially. Showdown at least has everything, this game is a pure marketabilityXviability dexcut.
>>59013622Totally depends on how many alternate formats and/or events they run. They could easily do a baby cup that would justify brining over most unevolved mons.
>>59010847There are communities to play singles in console that have run parallel to smogon for over a decade, I'm sure they'll play champions too
