02fran 04/08/25 8:05:38 AM #36:	DodogamaRayBrst posted... Smogon focuses on the singles format that isn't supported by Nintendo. All official Nintendo tournaments are doubles. It is in essence a different game and it's a good thing that there is a community that supports and creates a competitive system for the unsupported format that was the only way to play pokemon for I think the first two generations of the franchise and still in all future games correspond to 99% of the in-game battle experience a player has. VGC format is also just not what the games do. Only pick 4 out of 6, item clause, you can choose 2 restricted mons in restricted formats, forced level 50 etc. That said, Showdown DOES have a VGC ladder and community and it's where a lot of VGC top rankers practice. <cite>02fran posted [p:984641896] in Smogon...
