In case it was missed, the Japanese site confirmed that Pokémon Champions has a Ranked Battle mode, a Casual Battle mode and a Private Battle mode for battling with friends

I think rentals would be neat tbh, and people might not like it but it would definitely curb the cheating problems in VGC if they went that route.
Mostly though I think I just miss Stadium ;p
Well, there needs to be a way to use Pokemon without importing them from HOME. Aside from handing them out as rewards for completing battles, you need to be able to have a full team somehow.
It would be cool if for the mainline games they had battles like in Legends from now on. Like, more real-time anime inspired battles and then have more traditional battles, aka VGC battles on Champions.
thoughts on the disclaimer that says not all the pokemon in home will be in champions? It's confusing to me as I genuinely dont understand why they wouldnt have every pokemon in this. like shouldnt that be a main selling point??
is it though. this is a battle sim game. the pokemon only need swsh level quality models an animations. theyve had years to make those. i dont think it's a tall order.
that's an incredibly confident statement from someone who knows nothing about the production of this game, and for as little gameplay as we've seen. you don't think people would complain about "just" swsh quality? ntm we don't know the time and budget that went into initial dev.

It implies there are Pokemon in Champions you have access to. Possibly rentals?

My guess is rentals.
