(I am due for a new phone anyway)

[Cobalte @CobalteVGC]

Minimum Android OS requirement for Champions is 13
...my phone is Android 12
And the hardware can run 13 easily! But Samsung said no because reasons

@gen3sis13460 @LuarnaDuncan @OCEVGC @mihono_suica I only meant to clarify for the original commenter I replied to

[Cobalte @CobalteVGC]

@LuarnaDuncan @OCEVGC @mihono_suica regions aren't based on citizenship

[Cobalte @CobalteVGC]

@Stalruth yeah I can see someone wanting to avoid that system for sure

[Cobalte @CobalteVGC]

@Stalruth does JP still have the online qualifier -> nationals, thats the one thing I could imagine someone would rather not if they were to choose

[Cobalte @CobalteVGC]

@Stalruth isn't that what the post is saying though
they agree that joji was eligible to participate under Oceania region in 2025 but disagree about 2026 season

[Cobalte @CobalteVGC]

@Stalruth I don't even know what I want LOL I got turned off a bit from playing heaps so I'm not super meta aware, aside from Mega Floette is basically the whole Urshifu/Calyrex horses debacle again

[Cobalte @CobalteVGC]

Q: does the amount of VP gained scale with rank or something?
I'm playing Champs to dip my toes back into VGC, so have no real drive to fire up Sc/Vi to train stuff especially.
Having to do 10+ battles to recruit & fix god awful gacha sets on *one* mon feels bad

[Cobalte @CobalteVGC]

@Stalruth yeah that definitely will reduce the amount you need considering you're having to do this whole process 6 times

[Cobalte @CobalteVGC]

@NailsOU Yeah, I definitely think there wouldn'be huge differences, but even something being out like 1 HP can have an impact, but it may take time to know fully as calculation seems server-side, since Mega order got fixed silently

[Cobalte @CobalteVGC]

elephant in the room here, does this mean damage calculators might be a bit off

[Yisuno ⚝ | SKARM BELIEVER @TheYisusOne]

Started looking into Champions' files and found some impressive stuff:
-Game runs in Unity, with models and VFX similar to BDSP
- The battle engine is COMPLETELY NEW, the sequence system used since XY is gone
- I GOT MOGGED. My True Size mod has 4 Pokemon sizes. Champions has 8!

gl to everyone playing in brisbane rn, hope to see some of you soon

@UnkemptHerald @Sibuna_Switch "encrypted seed that doesn't use an encryption algorithm known to be weak" is not really something that rolls off the tongue well

[Cobalte @CobalteVGC]

@siLPH_Co (cont) some of the replies are excellent examples of proactive action and some just dont address the issue of feeling threatened at all

[Cobalte @CobalteVGC]

@siLPH_Co idk if this is me being weird, some of the "vouch" replies rubbed me the wrong way for this very reason. a lot of this stuff doesn't happen at the event itself. and statistically SA perpetrators are someone the victim knows. (cont)

[Cobalte @CobalteVGC]

@NataliePokeTCG you would need to think carefully about potential leaks

[Cobalte @CobalteVGC]

@7Aldrich7 @PokeDramas oh shit

though idk if this account is just general pokemon drama

[Cobalte @CobalteVGC]

playing in GC and the last one I played was like early 2024 lol
