@Pokemon_Champs Can you please confirm whether or not 6v6 Battles will be present in the game (even in Private Battles)?
So far, we have only received evidence of 3v3 Singles across all media.

You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

@BensVoicemail @TheMrHugoHappy I never claimed that anything official said there definitively won't be 6v6 battles.
I said insofar as they have shown us, there is no evidence yet to indicate that 6v6 battles are present, which merely concerns me. In fact I am HOPING someone can find some, hence this tweet.
English
@TheMrHugoHappy @SilphSpectre He doesn't know this he's farming negativity for content. Nothing official has said there won't be six slots for 6v6 battles.

Nintendo just dropped a new 6-minute overview trailer for Pokémon Champions.
I STILL don't see any evidence for the existence of 6v6 Singles within it, nor on the website, nor any previous media they've released about the game.
Please someone prove me wrong. I'm begging you
English
@LeezardBirb158 They showed players having teams of 6 Pokémon, yes... of which 3/4 were then selected for 3v3 Singles or 4v4 Doubles Battles only. Not 6v6 Singles, the entire point of this tweet.
English
@SilphSpectre -shows Single battles
-shows 6 Pokemon
-Somehow saw one part of the trailer and wants proof
🥴
English
@SilphSpectre The trailer literally says single battles is an option
English
@ZeBanded Within the new trailer itself it verbally states that you choose a 'team of 6 Pokémon' for battle, even for Doubles. Then it shows the process of selecting 4 of those 6 for a Double Battle. Simply put, you have a team of 6 (hence roster slots), of which 3/4 are sent into battle.
English
I think that's gravely disingenuous; this is a game for battling more broadly, evidenced by the fact that it includes modes outside of the scope of 'official competition' (3v3), yet the standard/most common mode of battling since the franchise's inception may not be available.
English
Being surprised Nintendo made a game specifically for the official competition and it only has the game modes of the official competition is definitely A Choice.

Like in the 3v3 above, I think it's to demonstrate that x number of the player's total team of 6 are chosen. Otherwise there's no reason to even have those slots visible in 3v3 or 4v4 in isolation.
I don't think this inherently proves 6v6; we'll likely have to wait for release.
English
@SilphSpectre Right but then why does the in-battle UI have 6 slots?
English
@TrendanBrendan Not necessarily true, unfortunately. Within the new trailer itself it states that you choose a 'team' of 6 Pokémon for battle (and shows the process of doing so), then explicitly shows the process of selecting 4 out of those 6 for a Double Battle.
English
@SilphSpectre The UI on this screenshot has 6 slots for Pokémon. There's no reason for this if the only modes are 3v3 singles and 4v4 doubles
English
@snoopy369 Just to be clear, they have mentioned Singles in a general sense several times - but in the dozens of instances you can find of it, it is always 3v3; never 6v6. Very worrying
English
@SilphSpectre The explicit mention of "Doubles" makes me think it's likely Singles will be there as well. Honestly so much mirrors the SV structure in many of these menus I suspect it will be *very* similar (and so will have Singles and Doubles), but we'll see.
English
I've understood & have been tolerant of this argument for as long as VGC has been the official format.
However, for an entire game specifically designed for battling (and with the existing 'Room ID' option) we should at least be able to conduct 6v6 Singles in Private battles.
English
@SilphSpectre I guarantee they don't have a 6v6 for the same reasons Yugioh Master Duel doesn't have a best of 3 format like actual paper play: queuing times and casual accessibility.
VGC format is faster, and 3v3 singles is even quicker to hop into a casual game.

Okay, so that was fun. But a bit too much. I've significantly eased my load as a Board Member, so now I'm technically only working 3-ish jobs 🤪

Okay so 2026 update! The plan is to upload once every 2 weeks + work on large-scale romhack videos in the background when I can. My other company's been busy, I've been instated as CFO for a 3rd company, & I'm serving as a Board Member/Director for a public benefit corporation.
