I used to follow this stuff almost religiously. But it is too expensive to keep up with the card game and I get sick of the VGC doubles format. I can't wait for Sword and Shield and I desperately hope they bring real Pokemon to the Switch, along with Pokemon Bank.
Looks like I might actually tune into one of these for once! I've been into Pokémon showdown lately. Too bad there is no tournements in my area, or I might actaually put in some work in the main games outside of the story.
They all hack so I won't be keeping an eye on this.
To be honest I find watching these kinds of Pokémon battles rather boring. For the main games anyway. Pokken could be interesting to watch still but I don't have much interest in that game anymore.
To be honest I'm kind of hoping the Pokémon will start moving around a little bit more in between commands in Sword and Shield, just for aesthetic purposes, to keep things a little more visually interesting, rather than just having the Pokémon standing there in place, though I dunno how they'd handle that.
I've just never liked doubles being the dominant format. I miss the big classic 6 vs 6 battles.
Love VGC but I’ve not been really into it since XY. Will def be going all in for 🗡🛡
Also getting back into the TCG got a Team Up booster box arriving next week. Can’t wait!
@bluemujika Singles battle doesnt make sense in the competitive arena. There are a high number of pokemon and moves that only are usable in doubles, so a more deeper strategy. Also in singles the factor luck is more predominant than it is in doubles, making the battle an endless pokemon switch in order to gain type advantage. I respect your opinnion but honestly the actual vgc format, enter 6 look the rival's pokemon and pick 4 for a double battle is the best.
A hard pass. While I love Pokémon, there's been way too much cheating revealed over the last few years in the competitive scene. This goes for both the TCG and VGC.
Might be a sign on the times, played in a few Yu-Gi-Oh! Nationals a dont remember it being as bad.. though there was one guy that got Exodia in his hand first turn every match (true story)..
@DanteSolablood thats the reason i prefer play yugi in software and not in real life.
