“Overall, I enjoyed my time with Pokémon Champions (despite the Sheer Cold shenanigans), but as a VGC player that was to be expected. The battles are fun to play, it’s so simple to edit the Pokémon and it is going to open competitive Pokémon up to a whole new range of people as it has never been simpler to build a team.

I’m sure that it will bring in some more casual players, too, via its mobile version, free-to-start promise, and the more accessible approach to team building and training. But the stacked currency types and prospect of pay-to-win trappings left me with a sour taste in my mouth.” Read the full article here.
