Forgive my ignorance, Smoogon and Showdown has always been somewhat of a black box to me. But won't we just get a Showdown ladder called something like Champions OU with the 6v6 Smoogon singles rules applied? I mean the Showdown ladder has always ignored item cluse, why would this be any different?

After watching most of the content creators' preview videos. It appears that single-player mode is no longer available. Which isn't a deal breaker, but if you were hoping for a stadium or Frontier-style challenge mode you will be disappointed. The game looks good graphically, and the animations...

I'm taking a wait-and-see stance regarding the monetization. The fact that you can't buy VP seems promising at first, especially when they showed almost everything can be bought in the shop. But the fact that you can only get 200 VP per battle seems odd, especially since you can't buy that...

Thanks Neosonic97, I don't actually know how to get the little sprites to appear in my post so that helps alot. Your analysis is also mostly on point. I think Heatran looks good at first glace but it ends up being earthquake bait as it has been since it was first usable. This means you HAVE to...

Looks like someone at the Pokémon company got tiered of all the people who weren't running mega evolutions. They don't allow held items other then megastones either. My memory is bad so I'll have to find a list of all the new Megas.

As someone who dabbles in a few different formats I will probably stick to Showdown for 6v6 singles unless its vs someone I know personally. Enforcing bans and clauses is just impossible on a wifi format and I don't see any reason to pull my hair out when showdown is sitting in a link on this...

I have mixed feelings on a battle pass myself. On one hand these sorts of games are usually made worse by these sorts of monthly transactions. With FOMO constantly employed in order to keep people opening their wallets month after month. On the other hand I do understand the fear of making a...

Go's continued success is only surprising because of how many times they've tripped and fell flat on their faces. Baffling choice followed by baffling choice, poor optimization, poor design choice. Not to mention raids represent everything I hate about modern Pokémon. The fact thay I still play...

Despite what the websit says Champions is probably going to favor fans who already have a collection. I don't have to pay Money if I can get the mons from elsewhere. But that does make this game much less beginner friendly then they'd advertised.

Well Champions release date makes a lot more sense in light of Wind and Waves coming out in 2027. I had to double take at both those release dates admittedly. They couldn't get wind and waves done in time for the big 30 it seems. No big deal, I'll have time to play with Champions when it comes...

I haven’t played on Wi-Fi for years now, but my understanding is that Scarlet and Violet were fairly open to 6v6 Singles with even the ability for some minor matchmaking as long as you don't set a password you just get paired with a random person to battle against. I can't imagine they would go...

I think the issue is that right now you and I fundamentally disagree about what champions is supposed to be. Your logic is perfectly sound if Champions is nothing more then a battle simulator ment to be a holding zone for competitive VGC. I personally think that there is going to be some effort...

The problem right now RE:Champions is that no possible release date makes sense. April or late March gives Pokopia room to breath, but feels to late considering how close to worlds it is and how done everyone is with the SV format. A shadow drop or early March means it has to share its hype...

Home, Bank same difference right (I'm getting old). But yes that is what I meant—it would be odd for them not to have it. And yet I can see them going that direction....

First post on this website might as well be this: So are we getting bank support for FrLg or not? Do we even know? Last I read they'd removed the note about Bank access.
