Developer Popular Post Patrick Posted June 30, 2022 Developer Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2022 Changes to Seasons Starting July 2022 & Scheduled Maintenance Starting July 2022, the way you earn battle wins and experience for season rankings will be changing. First, it should be explained why, as that will be the most common question. In the beginning, seasons were fun and competitive to take part in, as all new things are. Over the last 3 years, multiple balance changes have been made to seasons to try and keep them fun and fair. Unfortunately, the biggest downfall of seasons is the monotonous grind of experience which the meta is "immune training" - This is not how season play was envisioned when it was created, but of course, people are just using the tools at their disposal. SO, to remove this long grind that mentally drains people on a monthly basis, we've created the Season Battle Tower. This new game feature will randomly generate battles for trainers from all Pokémon that exist in the Pokédex, along with randomly generating attacks for those Pokémon from their move-pool. These new battles will now be the only way to earn experience and battle wins towards your seasonal rank. We hope to see more people taking part in seasons with this change and more importantly, having fun while doing so. If you have any feedback on this new feature, we'd love to hear it. To implement this change, Pokémon Vortex will be going down for maintenance on June 30th at 23:59 BST for approximately one hour. You can follow the maintenance on our service status page. 18 4 1 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
