No more excuse to cheat now, genners! No more "pay to win" excuse either! Play the game you lazy fucks or don't compete in championships! Stop cheating! Stop paying people to get Pokemon for you when you know there's a risk of genning!

.....the entire series relies on the fears of "missing out"; it will forever be PTW.

It will never replace Smogon's Showdown.

Stop cheating. You've gotta own a game to play, so stop bitching and get the Pokemon properly. :)

Nope! You can change IVs in Champions. They showed it off. Quit whining and stop cheating.

It's a step in the right direction for people who just want to play ((official)) pikachu chess. I will miss handing out injected shit like contraband, though.

Why did none of you people watch the trailer? They showed off changing stats and it literally listed a range of 32 from top to bottom on those stats, which corresponds to 0-31 as a range of IV values.

I fell like I'm taking fucking crazy pills, did NONE of you watch the trailer? It was right there.

Which is fine. Catch them in the single player mode, then edit them in Champions. It's not outrageous to ask people to buy the game.

Those can't be IVs tho

at level 50, 63 stat points that are normally from EVs at 100 become 32 stat points instead, so 32 + 32 + 2 equates to 508 EVs and these are not actually IVs now that I look at it

what this means is that either you can't change IVs or they don't exist (which would be fine)

If anything 32 values corresponds to how 252 EVs at level 50 give 32 points per stat, now even with that 66 points aren't possible; something's off

The 66 represents the EVs since the original value was rounded down and divided by 8 giving us 1 extra EV point. Gardevoir has 1 extra EV in sp def which wasn't possible before. Also to the blind fags there is no option to reduce IVs.

In any case the stats fall 1 point short to be identical to Champion's Gardevoir, there might be a few extra EVs or some error in the trailer

You can rent (for 7 days or permanently) Pokemon in Champions though, that should solve that issue.

Never cheated in my life yet now I'm being punished by being made to grind again.
My pokemon in Home are basically meaningless.
I spent an obscene amount of time getting shiny perfect IV and nature 'mons in Sun/Ultra Sun and this game is basically invalidating that work.

This post confirms my theory that breedcucks have such vitriolic feelings toward injectors is because all the hours they feel like they wasted on their Pokemon collection.
They have no real reason to hate injectors. They don’t inject Pokemon with any competitive advantage like giving Zacian Huge Power and DIB. They inject standard Incineroar set with their IV spread which is indistinguishable from legit Incineroar.
No, instead they are upset that someone else able to get the collection they spent months to years getting in the spand of 10 minutes.

>breeding in S/M/US/UM
You can chain a large portion of pokemon in those games and get perfects fairly consistently compared to being a breedcuck
You'd have to be a retard to think that anyone breeds in those games.
