w-what?
>>30295879
why did you spend forever brainstorming but didn't consider what the battle formats are like?
besides, there's always battlespot
How dumb are you? It has been like that for like 3 years.
You could also challenge randoms if you want 6vs6.
>>30295879
Just have fun in battlespot my dude.
I dont give a fuck about the real competitive team anyway, I just care that beat the shit out of my friends and cousins.
>>30295879
Smogon is the 6v6 format. You have to play on Showdown if that's what you want.
How long did it take to make that team, anon?
>>30295879
You fell for the Smogon meme, son.
Official 6vs6 hasn't existed since like gen 3.
>>30295879
3vs3 is a better meta for singles, anyway.
This will trigger a Smogonfag.

It's ok anon, I'm not sure how it is in SM, but in XY/ORAS, you can shout something like "6v6 Singles?" in the wifi screen and usually get a few offers to battle. I imagine SM has a similar mechanic, otherwise you might have to use some kind of chat like Showdown's Wifi chatroom to find people to battle

>game lets you use 6 pokemin throughout all the games
>nope only 3v3 if you want to go online matchmaking
Fucking retarded.
6v6 is just not feasible on the handheld. Takes too long, gives too great of a chance of a connection error.
Fucking deal with it or battle with your friends.

I mean the battles would have their time cut in half if they spend up the animations. Why does end of turn healing / status take so long in particular ;_;
>>30297477
I bet logistics are what prompted the 3vs3 meta. Little did GF know or care that it would largely fix single battles as a consequence. Probably a happy accident.

dear god anon, you sure are angry, aren't you? that post doesn't even imply 6v6 smogon meta, just a desire to play 6v6
I would be okay with 3v3 if Team Preview wasn't a thing
>>30299121
I thrive off the sheer anxiety brought on by team preview.
>>30295879
just play showdown/with friends or on wifi threads
