Mega Evolution will be the only gimmick available in Champions at launch
>>59138601Mega evolution is the only gimmick that matters
>>59138606for campaignshitters maybe
all the other gimmicks on the bracelet give me heartburn
>>59138601No gigantamaxxing?
>>59138607If campaignshitter is code for people with taste, then yes
>>59138601This has been on the official site for ages, I don't know why people thought otherwise
>>59138601Considering worlds is being done on champions it's hilarious how many things from the current online that won't be available by the time august rolls around.Idk, I feel like there's something like a lawsuit someone could unironically pull off. Imagine winning a chess tournament but then 4 months before the world championships they make you play on a checkers board with only some of the pieces. It's gonna be hilarious watching everyone have to switch to the available meta this close to the end.
>>59138601Can we just have tera and only tera? PLEASE? And then just buff lesser used shitmon?
>>59138613Actually, it's code for people who are terrible at the games and don't actually play PvP. Hope this helps.
>>59138626>her favorite was too much of a fodder mon to get a megaSAD
>>59138635My favorite Pokemon from Gen 1 is Gengar.My favorite Pokemon from Gen 2 and my favorite Pokemon in general is Tyranitar.My favorite Pokemon from Gen 3 is Blaziken.My favorite Pokemon from Gen 5 is Scrafty.My favorite Pokemon from Gen 9 is Baxcalibur.Your cope, doesn't work, sorry.
>>59138606Fpbp
>>59138640You’re favorites are all normie slopYou’re cope doesn’t work, sorry.
>>59138640Nobody’s favorite is Scrafty nor Baxcalibur. You’re lying.
>>59138601>probably followed by gen 10 gimmick.We will finaly get terrastalization in 20 years
>>59138801They have to be someone’s favorite or else game freak wouldn’t have given them megas
>>59138651>i-it’s just normie slopWhat the fuck do you think megas are
>>59138601We already knew this. Champions is gotcha slop. It's going to drip feed both pokemon and mechanics for years as a marketing strategy to keep interest in the game
>>59138607It's easily the second most popular gimmick among competitive players, but that's only because Terastal is so good, Z-moves are so mediocre, and Gigantamax is so miserable in singleplayer but kind of nothing in doubles.
>>59138980>Gigantamax is so miserable in singleplayerSingles, sorry it's 3 AM, I should go the fuck to sleep
>>59138980>It's easily the second most popular gimmick among competitive players,campaignshitters*megas add literally nothing of value to the game for competitive players
>>59139000If they add nothing of value why did all the important Pokémon get them
>>59139000At this point you're not even baiting anymore you're straight up just delusional. What causes a man to become like this?
>>59139005Because megas are for campaignshitters and not competitive players.>>59139017Notice how you didn’t actually refute the post.
>>59138601unsportmanlike device
>z cringe, dynaslop, and terashit not available at launchwhats the issue here
>>59139050Get better bait
>>59138613What the fuck does campaignshitter even mean? It gets mentioned every time on PvP.
>>59138609I wouldn't be surprised if that's the only one that doesn't make a return. Easily the shittiest gimmick and the most unbalanced.
>>59139121People who actually play the games.Instead of those who play fanfic formats on Showdown.
>>59138606
>>59138609That looks like the corner of the Dynamax logo to me
Tera was the ONLY good gimmick Pokemon ever addedmega enjoyers are retarded and don't understand balanced base stats
>>59138622This won’t be the first time Worlds was the first event in a regulation, weirdly enough.>>59138606I’ll miss tera. I think mega+tera will be the best gimmick set and it’s the one I hope they do most.
>>59139237Megas have potential to be the most balanced because it's the only gimmick that is applied to a case by case basis instead of a blanket option for the entire dex. The only reason megas are unbalanced is because gamefreak are terrible at game design and gave megas to pokemon that already had stats of a mega.
>>59139237Megas just turns the entire format into a mini restricted format automatically; “you can choose one, and only one, of these powerful pokemon”. Except instead of choosing between Miraidon, Terapagos and Kyogre, you’re choosing between Metagross, Kangaskhan, and Salamence to mega.Weaker megas needed more help than they got, though.
>>59139263>The only reason megas are unbalanced is because gamefreak are terrible at game design and gave megas to pokemon that already had stats of a megaWhich is why megas are dogshit
>>59139273Real mega evolution has never been tried
>>59139273Balance idea: limit the number of turns a mega can be active, where the more powerful a mega is, the fewer turns it gets. Use a formula of (1000 - BST) / 100, rounded down, to get the number of turns the mega is active. Kind of unfairly advantages Kang and Mawile (whose abilities are a big part of their additional raw power) but overall helps weaker megas feel like more valid choices.
>>59138609Dynamax is unironically the strongest gimmick. If they add it, it will become the meta gimmick and the majority of people will use it competitively. They don't want megas to be overshadowed at launch.
>>59139267this desu
>>59138601Thought that was obvious. I just wonder if they'll keep megas as a togglable option even after they add different gimmicks.
>>59139819They are not concerned with balancing gimmicks against each other, any format with multiple is just going to be “cool! Two cakes!” I don’t know why people are so caught up on stuff like this like they’re gonna make you pick one
>>59139237Tera was a little fun at first but after a while it's just the same shit>teehee I swapped to an unexpected typing so your super effective move is now only NORMAL effectiveor >choice + 2x STAB for ohko Made me hate fairy even more when every fucking wallmon has it
>>59138601>Other special features may be added to the Omni Ring in the the future!Nobody ITT is talking about the more important implication here. Imagine the clusterfuck that will ensue once all the gimmicks are available in one metagame.
>>59139860should be easy to predict then, your lando runs sludge bomb, right?
>>59139965
>>59139965>implicationLiterally was shown in the reveal trailer, not really an implication when you have a mega zard vs dozo tera showing it off
>>59139965I'm wondering if you'll be able to use all of them at once, or you have to choose which one you want either pre battle or during battle and it locks off the rest.
>>59138607>>59138626>>59139000>>59139050hi kojopost elo or gtfo
>>59139017he's been like that for a while, apparentlyany thread with ice types in the subject are either ones he made to sperg about how having 4 weaknesses and 1 resistance means ice is a great defensive type or ones that are doomed to his corrosive touchto even attempt to engage with him like a functioning human being is a mistake
>yawnchad hate megashitwhy are we supposed to hate that guy again?
>the first champion meta is based on the plass and za roster because those two spinoff didn’t play like real pokemon games>wtf? Why can I only use regional and mega forms, the only two gimmick that were in legendslopyou guys are dumb
>>59140168none of this is true btw
>>59139017>post is completely objectively correct>"y-y-you're delusional"
>>59138601We know.
>>59138601>at launch it should be the only gimmick period, just convert the designs into other megas or various forms
>>59138601This image alone is not a proof
>>59139860Tera was fixed by open team sheets, when it comes back I REALLY hope tera type is shown on team preview. I think that’s more balanced. I’m fine with hiding items, moves, hell even abilities, but tera type should absolutely be shown at all times.
>>59140039Probably choose your gimmick in advance and announce it to your opponent at team preview. Or more likely they'll cycle them seasonally to keep players engaged. I don't think gamefreak is retarded enough to allow matches with 5+ gimmicks running at the same time.
>>59140039Use the anime rules where you can only use one per battle i.e. if Mega Evolve, you can't use a Z-Move, Dynamax, or Tera for the remainder of the battle
>>59140039Based on how they functioned in gen 7 you might be able to use multiple, just not on the same Pokémon.
>>59138651Neither does your arrest, homo.
