Why do you guys always ruin fan stuff like this by highlighting it, and getting it shut down, I’ll never understand, is it fun?

Also, the creator of the program itself was interviewed for this article. If he didn’t want there to be an article about his program, I presume he could have stopped it.

This is exactly what the official Pokemon games are missing. Why make changes to the single player game to support people who play competitively when they could just make an online battle system where you can choose the exact party you want (with stats and moves limited to what is actually possible in single player)…

Yep, right there with you.  I am going to immediately block the entire site through my router so their ads won’t even come through on related sites.

If you get Pokemon Showdown shutdown because of this stupid shit, I’m never reading another Kotaku article.

How is this a news article? This could have been published years ago.
