you still have showdown so what's the problem
>>59144449this live service slop destroying the reputation of competitive pokemon
>>59144463>destroying the reputation of competitive pokemon...is that a bad thing? also, what reputation?
>>59144449Sour grapes allegory
>>59144477Retards on here think the VGC was ever good lol, lmfao even.
>>59144622FUUUUCK YOUUUUUUUUUU
>>59144449Not for long
>>59144449
>>59144463It’s embarrassing that the future of competitive pokemon will be this piece of shit.I was hoping it’d be decent but it’s badly coded mobile slop.
>>59144703From the first trailer I've seen the animations are as stiff as ever. Too bad this fanbase is braindead and called it "the next Stadium!111!"
>>59144703>he still believes in PokemonIt's over, ever since Masuda has been kicked out they have been slowly killing off the brand.
>>59144449Showdown hates when you're using (or even winning) with favorites. For example many years ago when you could sweep entire teams by using Eeveelutions and Baton Pass. Then nobodies like Finchinator announced suspects and eventually bans.Pokemon Champions on the other side is a proprietary app made from a Google shill who will sell your data and target you ads in return. It's like your body and soul is raped all at once.Also bricking your Switch is considered illegal.That's why I prefer gooning to pokemon. This way it's always Open Source / FOSS, my favorites are all OU, and no gooner hates anyone because (you) fapped to Meowscarada.
>>59144745Baton Pass wasn't banned because of Eeveelutions. Smogon isn't going to make an exception for them just because they're popular.
>>59144449The CnD is in the mail
>>59144449muh fanfic meta
>>59145307tbf who the fuck wouldn't prefer fanfic meta over champions at this point
I had 0 expectations for Pokemon Champions, and it's somehow even more barebones than I thought it would be.It's a shame, because I'd absolutely love a battle centered Pokemon game to compliment the games that focus on other things. But damn, it just ain't it at all
>>59145358That assumes you can get anything from winning a game in the playground
>>59144449I don't know what the rest of the abilities are. The only reason I gave a single shit about Champions was to learn what the new megas' abilities are, and they dexcut half of them.
>>59145376How much have you won by playing VGC?
>>59145387As much as you have won from showdown. Good job proving nothing
>>59145423>bro you CAN totally win real money by playing this shitty unfun ruleset!>what? oh, me? no, i've never won any myself...
>>59145427Keep playing on the playground then
>>59145444You say that like you're not also playing on the playground. The only difference is that I do it for fun, you do it as a failed money-making opportunity.
>>59145376...what do you get for winning in champions exactly?
Anyone who plays pokemon competitively in any capacity is a retard. Want to tryhard, try the TCG bozos.
>>59145475>pay scalper prices just to do 1v1 solitaire with 0 player interactionNo thanks.
>>59145475This but with anyone who plays Pokemon at all
>>59145358NTA but counciltroons have gotten so far up their own asses over the years with arbitrary decisions and retroactively ruining old tiers. Smogon is a shell of its former self, Champions will be a mercy killing.
>>59144745Baaaased
