> I don't get it why they ditched the signature Pokemon fighting system for something pretty arbitrary, This is the biggest fumble and what cemented the death of the game to me. Here’s what I think should have happened: * Used the regular fighting system (turn based fighting) * Allow players to have 6 on-hand Pokémon with the ability to preset teams. * Any Pokémon caught after all 6 slots are filled are stored in the PC. * Utilize the nostalgia of the old Gameboy/DS System and allow players that are within a certain distance to start a battle. * Allow the creation of local tournaments (no exp gained ) * Hold regional based Tournaments where the winner is named the champion of that region and is qualified to participate in a National tournament. * Hold a Worldwide tournament crowning a Pokémon World Champion. Participants must be winners of their nation’s tournament. (World Cup but for Pokémon) * After a quantifiable amount of World Champions are made have prestigious “Pokémon Master” Tournament where the winner is crowned a Pokémon Master. Participants must be winners and runner ups of the World championship. Pull out all the stops to make this a hyped event on the same standing as League of Legends/Valorant E-sports tournaments since your already suing an IP greater than it. * Add Dual Battle’s with a friend * Hold Safari Zones/Events that allow rare specific Pokémon to be captured with increase of shinies (should have made these rare) * For non PVP-players add in a Pokémon Snap like competition where participants can submit Photos of their Pokémon or wild Pokémon. So much potential squandered.
