Did TPCi just kill Competitive Pokemon?

[@KneeckohGaming]

Nerfing the locals is such a huge issue as well. Not to mention no limit on point earnings at IC’s

My friend sent me this vid and man you hit the nail on the head. Been noticing for a while TPCi has been very selective it feels. Not too surprising to me that they are making thing more difficult for people. Its sad that in order to be able to play and keep up with high level play you need to use hacked/genned mons to save time so you can adjust to meta. If you play like you are supposed to and breed/grind you are permanently disadvantaged already and now with this you can almost forget about going to worlds. Ontop of all that finding out they are making it difficult for other countries to participate is infuriating cuz Pokemon is for everyone and anyone should be able to play. Keep up the work and push for change TPCi needs to di better

@@raytheshapeshifter95 As I mentioned in the video, the grind for legit comp ready mons is not nearly as hard as it was in Gens 7 and before, but yes, there are still ways they could eliminate most of the grind and remove that hurdle from VGC. And yes, they need to allow access to the professor program in more areas. My friends & I are currently working on a plan to solve this.

FINALLY

PlayPokémon: "oh shit, VGC might actually take off; let's ruin locals and make the big events even more convoluted and stressful, that should show them!.. oh yeah also make the Bo1 BS online comps matter while we're at it!" Wtf???

[@AdeptCharon]

It's like they're trying to make it less appealing so it doesn't get big enough for them to feel obligated to actually make the events good

[@Avaddov]

@@AdeptCharon Exactly. It's beyond irritating. And we know that they have the resources to make it better.

very shitty, especially the no middle east hey most countries are either broken or in war or civil war, even if that we have official nintendo stores and importer which should let israel compete, but not the UAE or Saudi with the money they have and attention can give
