The reason why 6v6 doesn't have an official competitive scene is because 6v6 matches take too long. Sadly, they just don't work in a tournament format (especially if someone decides to bring a Stall team.)
That's the main reason, yeah. 6v6 can take absurd amounts of time on the actual cart. They likely went with 4v4 Doubles because the matches are fast while still having lots of strategic depth - 3v3's fun but the strategies are a lot less varied since it's so offense-oriented.
How many battles have you played in the game where your opponent has a party of six Pokemon? How many battles in the anime? And what would a battle simulator have to do with this?
Agreed. OP was biased and trying to twist the message.
I don't think there's much to be done about balancing in-game rather than the competitive game. Game Freak likely looks at Japan more than the rest of the world in all aspects of their design. 3v3 is much more popular than 6v6 there. It has been the standard for 15 years.
I don't think you get what I was saying.
Literally the worst song in Pokemon.
The thing is most of those people don't play competitively. They don't know or care about balance. They use their in-game teams and have a blast. Those who care about playing at the highest level are the ones who look deeper and find out the rulesets the games are balanced for. I honestly don't think Game Freak looks outside Japan much, otherwise I assume we'd have more online features. They balance for the most popular formats.
I'm actually getting pretty hyped for Poketto Monsutaa Ji Orijin as the announcer calls it. Two questions since I'm too lazy to look up the answers myself:
1. Will there be an easy/legal/free way for us not in Japan to watch it? (Subs or no.)
2. Isn't the new season of the anime airing on the same date?
Yeah matchmaking sucks. I get paired up with people at 1400 rating or less even at 1750+. My friends get them at over 2000 Elo. It sucks doing that then having everything in the battle go wrong. Kills your ranking. Wouldn't normally matter that much but they have tournaments that award Championship Points based on Elo =/
Also thread will go up a day or two before release day. Another thing: is it possible to pm a mod and ask to set a few rules? Don't want people port begging or derailing the thread with random crap.
Quick check in: has any of my graphic guys made anything yet? Only 2-3 weeks left until the release
Threads normally go up 7 days before the game comes out. I don't think port derailing will be an issue for Pokemon.Quick check in: has any of my graphic guys made anything yet? Only 2-3 weeks left until the release
For the second point, it never hurts to ask a mod.
Graphics guys?

What were the comments?
Apparently Tyrantrum looks like Greymon.
I'd be lying if I said Tyrunt and Tyrantrum didn't remind me of Digimon, but they look great, so I don't care if they remind Digimon.
I get attached to them fairly quickly,and ever since my Emerald File got corrupted and I had to start all the games over from scratch I keep the first 6 pokemon I choose and stick them together as a Unit forever. Before Gen V where I couldn't raise 6 pokemon at once I usually added 2-3 team members after the fact or merged multiple teams from the same region.Tyrunt reminds me of Gon.
I always have a hard time switching Pokemon out of my party. (The only time I've ever done so was switching out Dunsparce because he becomes extremely hard to use reliably after Ecruteak city.;_
Heh, I'd feel like I'm missing out if I did that. The games offer a lot of choice and cool designs so I like to try out a whole bunch of them. Especially this time around there will be more incentive to train new Pokemon to find out what the evolution will be without looking for it online first.I always have a hard time switching Pokemon out of my party.

.That is cute.
That's a pretty nice way to go about it the more I think about it. My bizarre compulsions won't let me do that, but it's food for thought on a subsequent playthrough.
