>GF now launches patches and updates weekly to balance the game including stats, moves and abilities. Like an online game should do.
What changes /vp/? Does it help or not?
No. Too little diversity in strategy and roles and too much diversity in pokemon pool. You might balance the meta, but some shitmons will always be shitmons just because otherwise too many mons would overlap in role.

No, it will be the same as Blizzard balancing its classes. Pokemon will get flavor of the month and swap between overpowered and nerfed each month.
Actually, I hope this thing happen when we move to Switch.
I mean, I'm not excited for that but maybe with those patches the posterior games games can compatible, and that could be nice.
>>32798801
third versions are now DLC which is what they should be in the first place. It isn't 1999 anymore.
Do you want the game to die? Making different versions of the game incompatible would kill players at school for example. Also people at work. Also anyone like me, who only opens a game once every week or two. Do you really want to sit down and let it update after update every time you want to play? That would make me very, very quickly stop purchasing the games. I hate when consoles update on their own so much nowadays anyway.

OP here, I actually thought this through, what if you have an updated game and I don't, we're at school and then we connect to battle, so, what if my version sends the update contents to yours? It would be like sharing the update and spreading, it's not hard to do.

It'd be less annoying to just disable the update in that situation, Nintendo's hardware is far too shit to do that in a reasonable amount of time.
>>32798801
What a shitty idea. You're basically disregarding the fact that Pokemon games at core are single player games with optional multiplayer aspects. If you want some form of balance just use Smogon rulesets or go on Showdown. And before you fucking quote me and say >SMOGON just know that Nintendo would be far worse if they actually tried to balance these games on a bi-monthly basis.
>>32798958
That simply wouldn't work, it would take up way too much space and take way too long
>>32798983
You can't just "disable the update," reversing it would require time and deleting data, potentially deleting your save file information, and then redownloading said data later on - but without your save data.
>>32799081
Do you not know how 3DS updates work? It's not at all hard to do that, and your save is obviously not part of the ROM, so it will be unaffected by the update.
>>32798801
>Stat changes too.
100 or 107-110
Speed.
Pleas.
sounds like lots of arbitrary changes just to say they're doing weekly updates and lots of time wasted downloading updates

>GF stop being money hungry and stop doing fullgame retail price DLC.
Not gonna happen.
>>32798844
