I'm very impressed by the creativity of x and y's pokemon. In my opinion it's a big step up from b&w. Sucks that you need a 3ds to play it though |

I don't play VGC doubles but I could really appreciate the strategy that goes in to team building. The main match I saw basically had mirror teams, but since you ran with a roster of 6 and had to pick 4, you could create subteams with themes like sand or trick room on the go. Really makes for an entertaining best of 3 but isn't good on simulators' single-game ladder systems. Though it's a shame Nintendo only bans based on base stat total and allows things like prankster Thundurus-I (banned in OU) to bring that amount of luck in to the game. Like the guy's strategy was just priority swagger and twave the enemies and go for lucky rolls, which was even called the "hallmark of a champion" by the casters. I don't get why they think luck equates to true competition but it is apparently enough for them and the stream spoke for itself with 15k viewers. Finals should be good tomorrow, but that said it'll probably just be Thundurus-I spamming status. |
