I thought Nintendo was heading in the right direction with the VGC. Even though the current format does have flaws and balance issues, it at least feels- you know what, forget it. This is an outrage! Nintendo has no excuse for making such a greedy regression back to catering to the kiddies. I don't like the VGC, but at least it got a generation of battlers interested in double battling and all of its strategies and tactics. This unmercifully takes a dump all over that development and any hope that Nintendo could ever maintain, or even create a tournament that satisfies all fans.
