I hope nobody here is stupid enough to believe that Champions is going to undo dexcut. Please. I'm so sick and tired of retards elsewhere insisting that it's totally going to have every Pokémon ever in it and it's going to include Dynamax and Z-moves and all the junk Gamefreak removed because they're lazy pieces of shit.

It's embarrassing that people are still that optimistic given how fucking long this series has been awful for (at least Sonic's fanbase can admit that the games have been ass for decades instead of gaslighting themselves into thinking every new project is "the one" that'll fix everything and bring about a new golden age despite all evidence to the contrary), and the fact that they're talking about a goddamn Gamefreak-made mobile game, but it's even stupider when the REVEAL TRAILER already shut this shit down.

If anyone with a pair of eyes waited until the end of this trailer to freak out, they would have noticed that Champions still has the dexcut and there are no plans to change it. They explicitly clarify this for several seconds at the end in big white letters. And yet, I've seen utter retards insisting that not only will Champions have the national dex, it'll also have irrelevant, mostly hated gimmicks like Dynamax and Z-moves just because they showed Mega and Tera. As if they didn't only show Tera and Mega to be relevant to the current generation.

It's so frustrating. With every passing year, the people who enjoy this franchise just get dumber and dumber. I know it's because all of the people with actual brains left a long, long time ago, but it's just insane to see the brain drain happen in real time. By gen 10 only the most retarded sycophants will be left enjoying the pure slop that this series has become.

>inb4 "b-b-b-but it says AT TIME OF RELEASE! t-they'll totally change it!"
Not before it completely flops with its intended audience (competitive autists) for not having everything they ever wanted day 1. Assuming they get around to adding all 1000+ Pokémon, it will be in several years so that they can drain money out of peoples' pockets with timed events first. At which point the game will already be irrelevant again due to a new generation releasing, making the older stuff that's being re-added even older and far less exciting than the garbage new slop.
Assuming they never add all 1000+ Pokémon, because they have no real reason to with how much brain damage and money they've already accrued through inventing dexcut in the first place, the game will never pick up any steam because Showdown will have it beat forever.

The only possible audience this game could have is more casual players trying to get into VGC. Which is an audience that is already covered by the mainline games, and has been since XY/Sun and Moon, far more effectively.

Okay, so, casual players trying to get into VGC who don't have the money to spend on a Switch with Scarlet/Violet or Sword/Shield.

That is an incredibly small demographic that barely exists.

This thing is going to flop, hard, and I'm very tired of complete brainlets like Wolfe Glick hyping it up to be the biggest and bestest thing ever that's going to come out and kill Showdown and have Dynamax and Z-moves and Bruxish and Hyper Training.

Spergrant over I'm just so sick of this lmao. Finally fucking cracked when someone close to me sent me a link to his tweet on the matter for the third time this week and I had the dumb idea to read all the replies to it.

EDIT: it pains me to see that the series has deteriorated to such a point that shit like this needs to be clarified

Also because his main shtick of VGC now has its own game instead of being an after thought in a game he doesn't care about (the single player portion of Pokemon)

Wolfe's a compfag he doesn't care about the dex cut. That'd be like a competitive TCG player angry that official formats don't allow every card ever made used. Generation Dexcuts in VGC is just the same thing as TCG formats.

He's excited because he's assuming "variety of different modes available for your desired experience" implies they'll let you play different previous VGC formats (a SunMoon format! A SwSh format!) In reality it'll probably just be like Scarlet / Violet's regulations. Where new regulations just ban / unban different Pokemon types like Paradoxes and the most used mons of the previous regulations.

He is still a retard because he's also hoping the game will have EV IV sliders so lol. Personally I'm excited about it cause I wanna fuck around comp with the Pokemon in my Home who all came from different games.

Does anyone here ha version 2.5.11 of ShockSlayer's Pokémon Crystal Clear? Pokéharbor has only version 2.5.10.

I don't but I'm curious why you want to play the Crystal romhack that adds niggers and troons.
 
Champions is just going to further casualize competitive Pokemon without bringing anything new to the table. Thank goodness I don't follow modern Pokemon scene all that much so I lose out on nothing.

I haven't seen anything regarding Japanese packs being circulated but I have seen pre-order prices for the boxes going around that price, the problem is that neither Creatures Inc. or TPCi can keep up with the demand for the game nor does the latter feel any need to curb the usage of bots from its site.

That said English packs of Destined Rivals (our equivalent to Japan's TR set and Heat Wave Arena) have been leaking, there's even a pic of one of the set's Illustration Rares.

With the way English sealed products are being bought up by scalpers and bots, people have begun to import and buy up Japanese sealed products. The appeal of Japanese packs being way cheaper may no longer be a thing as boxes of packs people used to not care about like future flash, ancient roar and night wanderer went from being <$45 a box to selling for almost twice that much some places. This is just another step in that direction, especially since people have become addicted to opening packs and buying as much as they can.

I think a huge part of the problem is there’s just no sense of self control with these people. The FOMO lack of self control is why we’re at this point now.

1. See a recommended video from a channel that you don't want to show up in your recommendations anymore.
2. Click on the three dots in the top-right corner of the recommendation.
3. An options menu will pop up.
4. Select "Don't recommend channel" from the menu.

Unlike every other feature on YouTube, this one actually works 100% of the time (instead of just working whenever the algorithm feels like it).

I appreciate it, I just felt like posting it because it was on topic and sounded really retarded.
 
I love Pokemon TCG (GB), but man is it a hassle to progress sometimes. I wish Nintendo had a version with all cards unlocked, some of their NES games have save states like that.

I think the Stadium vidya still has the best effects of those.

Stadium still has my favorite Pokemon animations, when they come out of the ball and when they get knocked out. Some of the attacks and effects do look pretty cool too, though some aged quite a bit and there was a lot of re-use.

I wish we'd get Stadium 3 finally, or just include a Stadium mode in the next generation if they don't think it'll sell or whatever (those sold pretty well iirc).

Is it just the latest version that added those things or was it always there?

You got it already, it was called Battle Revolution. Nobody bought it, so you're not getting further titles.
Edit: Since we're shilling random videos that pop up in our feeds, False Swipe Gaming finally remade the third ever Pokemon video on his channel properly
A few months ago he re-did his second ever Pokemon video, Venusaur
And, of course, he fixed his awful very first video on Charizard 3 years ago

Those old videos had a lot of charm, but those very first ones did lack quite a bit of information, so I am glad he finally got around to redoing them. I still remember when he considered a 15-20 minute video to be long, lol

Revolution was too clunky to be a proper Stadium successor. Not being able to handpick your rental team really really hurt it. If I remember right, you had to do a sort of challenge cup with preselected teams and could only change them through a Battle Factory-like 1 for 1 system. It's a lot of hoops for something that was already figured out in Stadium.

Nobody said it was a good Stadium game, just that it is one.

I feel like Stadium 1 & 2 set a pretty good precedent for what a "stadium" game is. Revolution is a Stadium game the same way Colosseum is a traditional Pokemon game. Like, halfway there but not quite.
