also its currently like this

  • Fake Out cannot be selected after it’s used once
  • Many widely-used items (Choice Specs/Bands, Life Orb, AV) are just missing
  • Less than 200 Pokémon currently
  • NS2 version is still low-res/30 FPS
  • Stalwart Mega Skarmory

Also Mega Hawlucha can give its allies No Guard for 100% accurate 1-hit KO moves lmao

apparently all future VGC tournaments will be done in champions so, its not looking good

Just streamlining the profit margins by making people buy a second game and then a subscription service to get the data arrays in the right place.

Thankfully champions is free so its just the subscription

From what I saw, you need to pay to increase your box size, and for faster refresh on recruitment (which is the only way to get new Pokemon other than bring them across from Pokemon Home)

I thought they cancelled support for Home and you couldn't put pokemon onto it anymore?

[-] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 6 points 17 hours ago

they did that for the pokemon home of the DS (pokemon bank), but there is now a new one for the switch (pokemon home)

[-] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 4 points 17 hours ago

Oh, I got them mixed up, thank you.

Bank is actually still operational, somehow. They gave a shutoff date, and I think no one new can download it (officially) on 3DS, but it actually still runs. No one knows when it'll shut down, which is even more annoying than had they just shut it off.

Sounds under cooked for sure but won't they just keep patching and updating it?

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 26 points 21 hours ago

Kind of tired of every game coming out and needing an extra year of patches before you can play it without issue

[-] JustSo@hexbear.net 8 points 20 hours ago

I honestly don't care if it reduces crunch and death marches. It probably doesn't, but I know the industry at "peak performance" is a torment nexus.
