@CoreaM25 @midomidori8 Im loving the game but i feel like its a fair criticism to say that the game should have more in-depth solo content for practicing/teambuilding, its not great that im still teambuilding in Showdown rn lol

@midomidori8 Pokémon has games for that. Not every experience has to have everything for everyone.

The more I learn abt Pokemon Champions the more I get to disappointed tbh.
-not all megas playable
-not all items in
-game still looks midge
-extremely contentless game, no player retention other than ranked grind
Idk but I am pretty worried abt the future of VGC with this

@Wiltank @plushievgc @whipod yo one of the aforementioned shills here
I think this launch was always gonna be shaky, im incredibly biased and I know that, but I do think that a small (tho this is TOO small) roster with an intended/curated meta is a great way to see if curated metas can work with more mons
English
@plushievgc @whipod it’s a good thing tho bc the game is growing!!!! we all get a cut, right…?
English
people went to war for an ILCA game for a year+ and didn’t even know it 😭😭😭😭
English
@coldrain_mp4 the big issue ppl are having is that this game is PERFECT for new players
its just... too perfect for new players, iykwim lmao
English
@trsrpc I feel like im living in the Twilight Zone rn lol I keep seeing stuff like this but my feed is not populating with the actual criticisms lol I'm enjoying the launch myself but pls what's the rub for yall cuz Idk if its the stuff I know abt or if im missing something big 😭

We really live in an world where a 20 year old Pokemon Battle Simulator on the Wii at 480p has more content & better presentation than a 2026 Pokemon Battle Simulator for Switch 1 & 2💀

@originalteejay2 @NathanielBandy1 you're not wrong, and that would definitely be the democratic option
I do also get their possible perspective, cuz they want to massively grow the competitive community, and as such want to funnel new players into official formats by limiting other options
its very... soviet lol
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
I'm no Pokemon expert... but why aren't all the Pokemon usable? Wasn't that the point of making a game like this?
Centro LEAKS@CentroLeaks
HERE IT IS. The list of Pokémon that are usable in Pokémon Champions. Only 186 Pokémon are present currently in Pokémon Champions.
English
@PokemonGems @ntichrist the issue of course (other than a few glitches that I think have been partially resolved already), is that while this is good multiplayer design, it makes for a meta that feels SO clunky to people used to SV metas.
also unrelated but the move animations are at their series best
English
@PokemonGems @ntichrist ok imma preface by saying your general critique is correct
HOWEVER: this one is a lil different. the issue with this game is that it is a FANTASTIC introduction to competitive Pokemon. meaning they did a bunch of stuff that slows down (temporarily) veteran players.
English
Pokémon fans are in a constant cycle of “the game is shit but it’s fun” and that’s why we won’t get good games again
Slushi2k@slushi2k
Honestly I don't understand why people are hating on the game so much... I'm having such a good time, I feel blessed that we were given the opportunity to play this game. It feels like the new era of VGC is being ushered in with grand fanfare. THE HATERS WERE PROVEN WRONG!!!🙏💯
English
@CalKoberg @CayenneVGC TO CLARIFY: when I say "targeted at other party members" im saying that the criticism of the game is intended for an audience of people who are also fans, not talking about intra-party conflict lol
English
@CalKoberg @CayenneVGC ive got a crazy theory abt this (/srs)
I think that bc smaller gaming communities have an incentive to grow their communities, they have to act almost as political parties, which makes us soften any criticism that is targeted at other 'party members' because we have to think
English
How many months did we wait for to get a functionally worse game?

@CalKoberg @CayenneVGC about the broader PR implications with every post we make on public forums

@pacer_jubn @jaycesmith00 @SamjhNai Israel also does the human shields thing, as recent events have shown (placing missile depots next to apartment buildings is definitely a choice lol)
So a better question is: "Who's trying to make money from this war and started it in the first place?"
I'll give you a hint...
English
@FGeary14 @jaycesmith00 @SamjhNai Everything isn't black and white, yes IRGC and Hamas uses human shields, yes US shows disregard for civilians.
English
At night? When there’s no school?
Eyal Yakoby@EYakoby
BREAKING: An Iranian ballistic missile fell onto an elementary school in Northern Israel. The regime is targeting children.

@testosteroneHAV @GovDukakis @LiberalHegemony 36% of democrats identify as Socialists lol, as per the party's own statistics. that number is expected to grow this year.
Keep on dreaming buddy, you won't believe what's coming next

@GovDukakis @LiberalHegemony Did you forget “genocide joe” won 2020 ? Idk where you get the idea you people have any sort of electoral power

We’ve seen the result of leftist hostage taking and no one is falling for it again.

@rythmlegend @AlHendiify @VincentJCurtis1 the last chattel slave was freed in the early 40s actually, and the former slave owners largely just converted to Neo-slavery practices that still exist today (private prisons that literally invent laws to punish poor people, usually black)(sharecropper farms)
English
@AlHendiify @VincentJCurtis1 Well, I mean, idiots like you still scream about slavery and that's been done since 1865.
English
Mind you Cuba is literally just some island nation that has never launched a military attack at us. The US has them under a blockade because wealthy americans don't like their economy. That's literally it.
Acyn@Acyn
CNN: Breaking news. Cuba's electrical grid has suffered a complete and total collapse. This is according to the country's power operator. It's the first nationwide blackout since the US effectively shut off the flow of oil to Cuba
English
@MrInvigorator @AlHendiify @VincentJCurtis1 brother the CMC was our fault too what are you talking about
we put Jupiter Missles in Turkey first, what was Russia supposed to do, just not respond to enemy nukes in their backyard?
English
@AlHendiify @VincentJCurtis1 There is no way you are actually denying the Cuban missile crisis. I know you comrades love completely ignoring atrocities done by every single commie government but this is next level
English
@pacer_jubn @jaycesmith00 @SamjhNai you are certainly implying it Mr. Hunter
when US war crimes are mentioned, you deflect to "but they're using human shields!!"
also Israel has been found guilty of intentionally targeting journalists, doctors, medics, and children in case u didn't know already.
English
English
@pacer_jubn @jaycesmith00 @SamjhNai america lol, also Israel
American bases always have schools on them. most military family kids I know went to elementary school on-base.
thats a fairly normal practice, The US double tapped the Elementary school anyways
English
@jaycesmith00 @SamjhNai The Palestinians and Iranians use children as human shields. Who the hell places a school on site of a foremer military camp, and that too near a new military camp?
English
@GShouva3212 @theany90 @XH_Lee23 nah man. you're claiming that war in a vacuum made this happen. I'm saying that your emotional reaction is misplaced. Pity or sadness lets you forget why it happened. Anger at America and anger at western Corporations is what you should be feeling. we invaded for oil, if u forgot
English
It’s even crazier in US movies that invaders are portrayed as "I’m sad that I have no choice but to kill your whole family in your country."
Qadi@Bigqadi
US soldiers set fire to a random family home in Vietnam.
English
@chillwiththa1 @GShouva3212 @theany90 @XH_Lee23 1: that last sentence is utter bullshit. if you've spent any time in the south or Appalachia you'd know we'd arm our kids to fight an invader every day of the fuckin week. it'd be wrong, but they'd do it.
2: you're condemning the child defending his home rather than said invader.
English
You haven’t exercised any yourself. So because ‘we aren’t supposed to be there’, the solider should let ‘civilians’ open fire on them. And they can’t return it back. Genius.
And how hard is it for a society to tell their kids to not take up arms against an outmatched invader? These middle eastern societies don’t value children like the west does.
English
@chillwiththa1 @GShouva3212 @theany90 @XH_Lee23 it was illegal and immoral, dipshit. not just 'sad'. why were we there? why do we keep putting kids in situations where they have to pick up guns?
a tiny bit of critical thinking would help you a lot, chud
