why hasn't Pokemon Showdown beet shutdown by Nintendo's

Nintendo only dislikes cringy pokemon roms, not battle simulators.

Dont worry, my dad's uncle works at nintendo and he told me that they are working on the lawsuit

Showdown is where all the singles players go, allowing GF to focus on their doubles meta.

They don't care about battle simulators.

Because they get a lot of exposure from it from you tubers. Also smog on just uses the models, theyre not making a game that's going to "steal" "sales"from their games

>>31084057
Been wondering that myself. After all it uses tons of assets like sprites from the original Pokemon games, yet they seem to ignore it. Meanwhile Freeshop got C&Ded earlier today for using a fucking 3DS logo in the menu, lmao.

You obviously never been to smogon forums before. Tons of people openly admit they don't buy Pokemon games anymore because showdown is superior for battling and that's the only part of Pokemon they care about.

>>31084057
I imagine they've had many meetings for years about what to do about battle simulators
Chances are they've come to the conclusion that shutting it down wouldn't gain them more sales, and people would just stop playing instead of buying more games.

Smogon forums are worse than vp when it comes to being wrong and lying.

>people would just stop playing
This. Fuck playing competitive on cart. Especially now that it's impossible to play 6v6 singles.

What did he mean by this?

>>31084057
It only imitates one of the aspects of Pokemon, which is battling

With PSS gone it is now impossible to play 6v6 with randoms without doing some convoluted shit in festival plaza that requires two people to be in the exact same menu at the same time.

>>31084057
Because Masusa plays Smogon Monotype with his full Water team and with Cynthia as his Showdown avatar.

>>31084632
I believe it.

>>31084556
If you actually wanted to play competitive 6v6, you always had to do the convoluted shit. Or were you the guy that was always on my PSS when I was attempting to hatch eggs?

I can believe that

No. The competitive and prism threads have shown how cringey and retarded these people are with their terrible teams and autistic nicknames.

>>31084267
There are a ton of VGC players on showdown as well, because fucking nobody wants to breed an entire team and then see that they need to change something.
