WTF IS THIS FUCKING SHIT

>>58384361 (OP)
Makes sense they are finally nerfing switching.
Stall was too powerful otherwise.

>>58384361 (OP)
>My actions have consequences? I should be able to switch all the time!

>>58384361 (OP)
SWITCHFAGS BTFO FOREVERIALLY

damn, pokémon finally forcing people to think

>>58384361 (OP)
The battles are THREE MINUTES LONG

You're planning to switch more than ONCE PER MINUTE???

>>58384383
Its not "finally nerfing switching" its just a different ruleset for a completely different battle system.
You cant treat real time cooldown based battle systems with dodging and shit as anything comparable to the rules of turn-based ones.
Switching is limited in PLZA for the reasons we saw from demo gameplay: Its a stall tactic and a bit broken, using it to wait out poison for example.

>>58384361 (OP)
The game is real time.

>>58384361 (OP)
Based, they should add this to the main games.

>>58384361 (OP)
good, makes sense in an ARPG

>>58384361 (OP)
Switching needs to be nerfed across the board, not just ZA. Switching needs to be completely neutered in the mainline games

>have infinite switches
>switch out every single time your mon is at low HP to avoid giving your opponents points

It's to stop everyone from endlessly switching mons to counter each other and actually fight.

>>58384361 (OP)
About time they did this…

>>58384361 (OP)
Uh-oh stinky!!

>>58384361 (OP)
Holy based!!
I hope this gets introduced to mainline games
I'd love this on showdown

>>58384438
Wouldn't it be better to put a cooldown of a few seconds?

>>58384361 (OP)
Switching in singles is bad enough without hazards
If there wasn't a limit on switching here it would literally just be both players constantly cycling through their roster to get out of a disadvantageous match up

>>58384501
If battle timers are 3 minutes long, what would you even set the cool-down to that is not just long enough to effectively be 3 times per battle or too short to break up the pacing on a tight round timer.

Remember it's a completely different battle system too, switching sounds more like tagging in a tag fighter than the traditional context we view it as.

When the battle is in real time, does using a pokemon with a large body count as an advantage or a disadvantage?

>>58384361 (OP)
Based. Get fucked and think up a better strategy than switching out.

>>58384361 (OP)
someone tell how long seasons last so I know when chesnaughtite will be available

They should have limited the switching to 2.

They should have deleted switching period. Only cowardly virgins engages in switching

You guys realize this is a completely different battle system that plays completely differently from the mainline games right

>>58384888
>large body
Is it finally Onix's time to shine?

>>58384361 (OP)
My guess is that switching unironically gives your mons iframes, and they decided to keep that in as a handicap for scrubs.

>>58385577
I don't care I need something to be outraged at

>>58385577
I hope it becomes the new standard. Chess with extra steps has become super gay

>>58385631
It won't. Realtime battles are already proving frustrating for the lowest common denominator who've been able to play in previews, they'll be exclusively relegated to sidegames and side modes, likely appearing in Gen 11 as an expansion of the Let's Go overworld mechanics (not 10 though, because remember, LZA and 10 were developed concurrently, therefore they can't lift too much from each other just like how LZA was developed concurrently alongside the SV DLC, thus there's missing data from SV DLC additions.)

>>58385631
The new system will likely be clunky and extremely homogenous. I haven't heard many good things from people who played it
