@_Ceauxx @ShinAngelico Or at the very least custom/private lobbies with their friends, simply by changing a few settings and sending a link code to your buddy. Wouldn’t affect the main appeal of the game at all, but provide an alternative for those who want to try Champs but not VGC or BSS

[N.B. @gametyme89]

@_Ceauxx @ShinAngelico You can queue up 6v6 in every mainline game by doing link battles with no code, it’s not a ranked mode, but it’s something you can do in each game’s unranked/casual/private lobbies. It’s not unreasonable to think this game would have the same options in their own casual mode

[N.B. @gametyme89]

@_Ceauxx @ShinAngelico Most folks fussing don’t want a 6v6 competitive mode, they want 6v6 to be an option in the already available ‘casual battle’ or ‘private battle’ modes within Champions. Would give those players a new meta to play without having to wait another year for Gen 10.

[N.B. @gametyme89]

@KidayaG @12341234a018 @DNCHI77 It’s a live service game. I imagine negative feedback would potentially lead to action by the game developers to add in the mode for those who want it in the future. Pretty much the same as any other live service product. Feedback tends to lead to changes. Here’s hoping anyways..

[N.B. @gametyme89]

@QuonnyMo @AfroSenju @Rhymestyle They literally have modes called ‘casual battles’ and ‘private battles’. It’s fair to want those modes to have more options, without interfering with what they want to do with VGC and their Ranked ladder

[N.B. @gametyme89]

@KidayaG @DNCHI77 Why do they offer a private lobby and a casual mode then? People will play this game even if they aren’t competitive, it’s fair to want those non-competitive modes to have more options.

[N.B. @gametyme89]

@KidayaG @JustmeRclol Scarlet and Violet has been out for almost 4 years now. People were excited to play in a new meta with new megas and a fresh roster of Pokemon. It’s deflating to realize you can’t play 6v6 in the new battle sim and have to go back to a 4 year old game that has been exhausted now

[N.B. @gametyme89]

@KidayaG @DNCHI77 Why would a 6v6 option in a private lobby that has no ranked ladder and doesn’t affect the rest of the game be a bad thing? It just allows folks to play the new game with the new mons the way they want to that doesn’t stop the competitive side of this product from shining.

[N.B. @gametyme89]

@KidayaG @JustmeRclol But not having options, just for the sake of not having options just limits your player base. It’s a net negative.

[N.B. @gametyme89]

@KidayaG @JustmeRclol VGC is being hosted by Champions. But their tag line of ‘battle your way’, including BSS, and all that stuff, and then not including any formats outside of those two for UNRANKED, and private lobbies is silly. What I do in my private lobby has no bearing on the official game..

[N.B. @gametyme89]

@QuonnyMo @AfroSenju @Rhymestyle Having more options to please a wider audience is never a bad thing, especially for a Free 2 Play game.

[N.B. @gametyme89]

@QuonnyMo @AfroSenju @Rhymestyle Competitive play or not, they offer ‘casual’ and ‘private’ battle options, it’s fair to want custom rulesets and 6v6 option in an unranked, casual or private custom lobby with friends. It’s not like it would cost them a fortune to add the option to their new product.

[N.B. @gametyme89]

@KidayaG @JustmeRclol Because it was marketed as a Battle simulator, not JUST a VGC simulator. Ranked play has never supported 6v6 in any Pokemon game, but I don’t see how it would hurt to add the 6v6 option to private, custom lobbies where we can edit our own rulesets. Unranked 6v6 random WiFi.

[N.B. @gametyme89]

@SapphireWolfXD @soulsilverart It’s just a generic statement from folks who have no interest in VGC or BSS, for those folks, this game literally is dead because there is no mode for them to play right now. But I agree, I’m holding out hope that they’ll patch in more modes and customization options soon

[N.B. @gametyme89]

@SapphireWolfXD @soulsilverart Dead on arrival for folks who just wanted a new 6v6 meta that isn’t gen 9 SV. If you’re into VGC or BSS, great! But for everyone else, who just wanted a new meta for 6v6 or Draft leagues, tough to do right now with no options for your formats in Champs (yet)

@Corrky_ @lastchalice Are physically or mentally impaired people not allowed to be heroes in video games (or in general)? 🤔

[N.B. @gametyme89]

All the public outcry to implement a salary cap in the MLB, it’s going to be hilarious when the PLAYER’s Association votes against it. These inflated contracts are in the best interest for the players, competition be damned. Owners are praying for a cap. #mlb

@taeoct6jr @Wario64 Even if the rumor was true, Red Dead wasn’t listed to drop till the last day of the month

[N.B. @gametyme89]

@seanrguy @on3 @Brett_McMurphy Who is getting fined? Not Notre Dame, as no conference has any control over them... hence that sweet, sweet Independent status everyone hates. 😂Sure, it may have cost them a spot in the CFP, but there ARE benefits to not belonging to a conference if you can afford not to be in 1

[N.B. @gametyme89]

@boworcrossbow @tylerscott @slmandel @NDFootball Nothing wrong with that at all. It’s all business now, even at the college level. If they want playoffs in the future, go undefeated. Otherwise, this result is always a possibility. Enjoy the benefits of being an independent but also the downsides of it. Fair all around.
