@ddddayre I will say it is surprising with how many doubles abilities they add that can't be used in game by default. Looking at you ScarVi.

@zororobinwife The anime ruins this moment so much by immediately going through 7 flash back episodes afterward

and miss out on this masterclass dub performance?? ABSOLUTELY NOT
bree 🪭@walkingflex_
nobody should be watching anime in dub

@SXR123 Yeah now games launch badly and the studios/publishers cancel them and blame the fans for the bad reception and not the incomplete/unfun game. While I hated Hello Games after the No Man Sky launch, they put the effort in to make a better game without begging for more money.
English
I don't think we'll ever see another game release like No Man's Sky.
I don't just mean the game itself, I mean the disastrous first launch which was basically a glorified space flight simulator, to the full and completely realized game it's become.
Look at the game at launch vs what it is now. All of this via free updates because Sean Murray and his team wanted to deliver on what they promised and more.
Sean didn't have to give players free update after free update. Especially the last few, he could have marked those as DLC and people absolutely would have paid, hence the "No Sean, I have money!" meme.
No Man's Sky had a rough launch due to unfortunate timing and circumstances and became one of gaming's biggest redemption stories. We'll never see a game release horrifically at launch, stick around in spite of it, release FREE updates instead of DLC's to recoup lost revenue and become so drastically different that launch vs current are almost entirely different games.

@Leonellus_117 They will say "its not a battle simulator" one moment than snap back about it being "made for competitive". These are basically contradictory

Literalmente ÉSTO. La puta saga entera es SINGLES 6V6. La gente que dice "piri il vgc is il firmiti ificial" no jugo un juego de Pokémon en su vida o que? La gente normal NO JUEGO VGC, ES ESTUPIDO NO INCLUIRLO EN EL JUEGO.
Fletcheesito@FletcherOtaku
@ivanpb96 Y lo más importante de la saga efectivamente no es el competitivo, y el formato normal que se tiene base en TODOS LOS PUTOS JUEGOS DE LA SAGA PRINCIPAL es singles 6v6, si juegas Pokémon es imposible que no hayas tocado singles 6v6, pq la puta aventura te obliga, es lo basico

@Iyokuu I think the bigger problem is not having free rental teams, so people who dont play that specific game will never have a very dominant pokemon. At least in mainline games you could rental team them.
English
This is one of the things I was worried about. Not the “pay walling” but people fear mongering the incoming F2P audience over incredibly basic knowledge.
You need the Pokemon games to get Pokemon: shocker. Champions was not giving anyone FREE access to 1000+ Pokemon at will.

4 mega stones are currently paywalled behind ZA, including mega Floette (which has Fairy Aura)

@ItachiVgc Much better to artificially limit it through battlepass and subscriptions

Unpopular opinion: If the dex had all the mons right away this game would be dead in 6 months.

I'm no Pokemon expert... but why aren't all the Pokemon usable? Wasn't that the point of making a game like this?
English
@DreamyWeegee Limited mons and items actually increases the chance of running a meta team...
English
thank god it’s limited items and pokemon it makes people have to make new teams instead of running down ranked on meta team 1

Pokémon Champions TERRIBLE launch: - Less Pokémon than Pokémon Stadium 2 - No 6v6 battles - Performance issues even on Switch 2 - Slow, clunky menus - Always online required, no more local wireless battles - Tons of competitive items removed - Rental Teams becoming completely useless - Have to add all your friends again, doesn’t use your Switch friend list - No single player content at all

@imlordkai Your original post is the one implying it is incomplete. You called it a "long project". Projects have an end, or completion.
English
Why are so many people complaining about Pokemon Champions?
Its such a beautiful game and you're still gonna play it.
This is a long project and will improve but as it is now, I love it.
#pokemonchampions #stopbeingentitled

@WakeTheCisUp @imlordkai You got some weird fantasies.
English
@WakeTheCisUp @imlordkai "As incomplete" auto complete got me
English
@WakeTheCisUp @imlordkai It was a reference to the original post. They said its a long project, and i inferred that as complete. I think it could very well be a complete game. And that is also bad to me
English
@FGeary14 @NathanielBandy1 I think you could just have an open/custom format and the official. The official could limit you, then everyone who wants to do other stuff could use open/custom
English
@NathanielBandy1 I think they're trying "curated" metas. I'm kinda optimistic about it in general but only 186 is kinda wild LOL
...just give me my cetitan, its not even good but I need it for my snow team lmao

HERE IT IS. The list of Pokémon that are usable in Pokémon Champions. Only 186 Pokémon are present currently in Pokémon Champions.

@chasecharb @Flats_OW I mean this games has so much less reason to exclude pokemon as it doesnt have all the 3d rendered environments. And when we talk about no unevolved but let pikachu slip through just because, "ah its the mascot".
The game has objectively less options/variance either way.
English
@originalteejay2 @Flats_OW The last game to have all pokemon in it was like a decade ago. Also if you cut out the unevolved forms of pokemon that are essentially never used in competitive there's way more than 10% of the total roster
English
@Sliver_Nugget Always make it a choice. Every player should have the choice to run exp share or not. Thats it.
English
There’s no “skill” in grinding. No exp share doesn’t make the game more skillful, it just makes grinding take way longer
I mean it does add some skill to training shit like Magikarp but idk I’d take exp share mechanics any day

💬 Entrenar a tu equipo Pokémon sin el repartidor de experiencia obligatorio para todo el equipo e ir subiendo el nivel de tus Pokémon de uno en uno era muy satisfactorio. Llevar a tu equipo Pokémon al nivel 100 era algo que te llevaba muchas horas y esfuerzo pero era muy satisfactorio, en los juegos nuevos puedes tener tu equipo al nivel 70 e igual has luchado con la mayoría de tus Pokémon 4 veces. Es algo que echo de menos, ojalá algún día él repartir experiencia para el equipo sea algo opcional que el jugador pueda elegir y no lo impongan de manera obligatoria.
English
So tired of Pikachu. A game where no pre-evos exist and you still shove that rat into it.
English
@HierroXHX I can at least agree with this. I never expected a single player for this game. Would have been nice to have some kind of ai battles for practicing, but not expected.
English
Quejarte de que un juego hecho para combates MULTIJUGADOR no tenga modo un jugador es de tontos eh no se que esperabais cuando nunca han dicho que iban a meter tal contenido

I mean if Champions wasnt planned to just replace Competitive pokemon, it wouldnt be as bad. Creating a game to introduce new people makes sense. But if you alienate all the old people while doing it?
