Why haven't any of the Pokemon games had a "real"

Isn't that what the PWT is?

Because that would require changing the formula

Back then they had a copy/paste story where they fill in the blanks

In game, with randomly generated NPCs and past gym leaders with higher level mons tossed in.

You meal like Realgam Tower or something?

>>28470469
Battle Dome and PWT were the closest things.

>>28470469

PWT

-and's that's why gyms will never die.

>>28470469
Bring Battle Frontier back!

>>28470469

why hasnt the anime had a 'real' Pokemon League where Ash battles the Elite Four and then the Champion in succession without being allowed to visit a pokemon center?

>>28471828
because the anime likes dramatic evenly matched battles and Ash going through E4 and probably losing to the Champion would be pretty different considering he'd need to sweep their teams. Unless if they only have like, one Pokémon.

Isn't that basically Pokemon Stadium?

I'm now picturing Ash desperately throwing countless revives at Greninjob while he keeps getting BTFO by Alain in a prometheus-esque loop of infinite torture.

Gross.

Why haven't any Pokemon games had a "real" Pokemon League where you battle in a single elimination tournament in real life?

>>28470469
that'd be nice, it's a fixed tournament where you play against people in an order but it's like a tournament setting. I'd love that.

>>28470469
This is a good question though.

Why that drastic difference?

>>28472280
you mean the VGC which happens annually?

>>28472401
>doubles

>>28470469
Gameplay-wise it wouldn't really make much of a difference though, only that you wouldn't know for sure who you'll be up against.

>>28472363
they probably weren't able to program real tournament rules for the Game Boy games

>>28470643

That's still just 5 trainers in a row though. Colosseum essentially ends with an Elite 4, then 2 champions.

>>28472646
is it double elimination? fuck if i know i dont actually watch pro gaming streams. the point is there is an irl 'league'

What do you think you do in a tournament?

>>28474833
those 5 trainers in a row didnt have to beat any other trainers to get there

A tournament would feature progressively stronger opponents, not

>le different flavor of shitmons

>>28474891
What difference would it make to you, the player?

>>28470469

Because anime series is non-canon.

The games are the ultimate canon
