>no 6v6 in Champions, not even in private unranked playTHIS is supposed to be the Showdown Killer? Tsk, tsk.
Showdown will be shut down by the end of the month and you'll have to play the real game as it was intended to be played.
Champions is a fucking trainwreck holy shit
>>59142881So Winds & Waves will make it so you can only have 4 Pokemon at any given time and only feature Double Battles, right? Because they want players to play Pokemon the way it was intended?
you'd think after a decade of "POKEMON KILLERS" that pokemon fans wouldn't fall for the "(thing) KILLER" meme
>>59142881Sure, sure, the C&D will come any day now
>>59142890You'll be able to carry 6, but you can only choose 4 in each battle.
>no 6v6>tiny dex>new abilities are shit>ugly graphics, low res, 30fps>animations are terrible>removed staple items>nerfed staple abilities>battlepass>truly horrendous UI...what is the point of this game? is any part of it supposed to be good at all, or is it purely a device to milk the money from some pokefags wallets? I mean there isn't one good thing about this game.
>>59142918It exists purely so GameFreak no longer has to worry about programming ranked into the mainline games and to punish ILCA for making a better Sinnoh League than Masuda did.
>>59142890>WW will only feature doublesOh no no no no no noSinglesissies...
>>59142935Until they abandon it for the next console, just like they did with every other Pokemon-related app.
>>59142918of course it's a money machine anonyou'll buy it any ways will always ring true
>even Joe is openly shittalking Champions when normally he has to wait until a game is dead and irrelevant to do that
>>59142864>no 6v6 in ChampionsSo smogon is stuck with scatvomit for another year?
>>59142986They botched this launch hard, probably hoping that they can try to get momentum back with updates later on.
>>59143005Smogon was never going to replace SV with such a barebones game anyway. The new megas will get added to NatDex and that's it.
>>59143013Pokemon is usually an IP that can steamroll through being total shit with sheer nostalgia, but given the already small portion of players that even care about PvP in the games combined with the actual abysmal product they’ve put out I actually could see this one flopping irreparably.
>>59143023I could have seen it having a following if it wasn't so barebones. Right now, it's like LGPE OU.
>>59143036The last time they tried this with PBR, it flopped so hard that Genius Sonority was effectively banned from making any more big games. TPC is really trying to cash in on esports without realizing that a minority of their playerbase will ever bother with competitive.
>>59143036meh, cant flop any worse than bw and pla
>>59142986Damn! Champions is so fucking shit it broke Joe out his shill trance
>>59142881Someone is going to be assassinated if they C&D Showdown
>>59142864>can't play dogshit fanfic meme formatwhy am I supposed to care again
>>59143067>fanficNope, you can 6v6 officially in the campaign of every mainline game since Pokemon Red and Green.
>>59143067sv has made me a 6v6 believer, i'm actually going back to the ladder now since champions was such a flop and i'm pokemon blue balled
Why does it have this shimmering film grain shit it makes me thing my monitor is broken.
>>59142948It's on phones, they'll just make everyone play on that instead.
>>59143099mobile game res stretched out
>>591430676v6 is canon.VGC is fanfic garbage with its made up rules like artificial level cap at 50, item clause, restricted mythicals....
>>59143105And the TCG games they abandoned were on PC. What's your point?
>>59142986holy fucking shitif even joe is talking negatively about this game it's fucking dead on arrival
So let me guess, the rage is that the fanfic game mode isn't supported and it doesn't have features that it never advertised in the first place?
>>59143186The game explicitly marketed you can "play how you want" but then proceeds to not have 6v6 as a private unranked option, a staple of casual play since Red and Green.
>>59143186>fanfic game modewhy do you keep saying this? like what do you think fanfic means?
>Wolfe Glick put aside an entire fucking MONTH to shill for this gametotal jewish loss
>>59143230I already had no respect for him, but now I actually hate him for being a shill for this shit
>>59143186yeah, turns out that not everyone is a vgc autist
>>59142864People still play 6v6? kek
>>59143230How have they yet to burn him alive for being a Zionist?
>>59143258Gee, i wonder who this was made for?
>>59143269yeah, the game was made for vgc autists but is trying to market itself to people that aren't vgc autiststhat's the whole problem here
>>59142986Holy kek
>>59142935>ILCA for making a better Sinnoh League than Masuda didQrd?>>59142948I remember this point being raised when Bank was announced as the transfer method from Gen 6 onwards. The amount of people (here and elsewhere) who said they’d never close Bank was staggering, and then when it was announced that Bank would eventually close after the 3DS online servers went offline nearly 2 years ago they moved the goalposts to ‘at least it won’t happen with Home’. We can criticise GameFreak all we want but the average Pokemon fan are happy to keep eating slop until the end of time.
>>59142986Jesus fucking Christ this is grim.
6v6 is a clown format. 3v3 is the only good singles format
>>59143348go back to duel links
>>59143336Sinnoh League in BDSP was brutal compared to the DP counterpart because they had way better moves and actual held items, not even on rematches but in the default campaign.
>>59143048Genius Sonority got fucked with PBR because TPC promised them a longer dev time to make both a campaign mode similar to Colosseum/GoD and the other modes we got in the final version, then turned around and decided to cut the dev time down to a third of what they were promised. I wouldn’t be surprised if another leak happens and we find out Masuda had a hand in it given how popular Colosseum and GoD were when they first came out. Hell, we barely get spinoff Pokemon games anymore when even in the 2010s we were getting a decent number of them (but still down from the amount in the 2000s).
>>59143230Wait is he actually one of them? Never liked him in the first place and he had one of those punchable faces once he grew the beard, but this just gives me extra reason to dislike him.
>>59143121>it's canon because it's like my campaign and it makes my campaignshitter brain feel like its included because I'm too scared to ever actually touch PvP>>59143276>people who play the actual games = vgc autists
>>59143397So why don't the campaigns abolish 6v6 singles and force 4v4 doubles where both trainers choose four mons from their teams of six instead of creating false beliefs of what Pokemon "should" be like?
>>59143387There's a photo of him visiting family in Israel from about a decade ago.
>>59143085Official competitive has been 3v3 since stadium 1
>>59143409So why can't you click the PvP button instead of being a scared little retard who does nothing but stare at fanfic tier list changes?
>>59143425Because I can't click on the PVP button until I receive all the Pokemon necessary to properly compete in PVP from the campaign, otherwise I'll get mogged and raped like a Little Timmy trying to flex nuts against Ogerpon, Urshifu, Incineroar and Flutter Mane with my Floragato, Lechonk, Tarontula and Igglybuff.
>>59143336e4 + champ in bdsp are fully ev trained with perfect ivs, improved movesets, better abilities, including hidden abilities like sheer force steelix or iron fist infernape and all have useful held items such as flame orb + guts etc. they’re much stronger than the league in dppt
