I just want to say, that I don’t think champions will be a fulfilling experience for people if they only play ranked battle
Please go to locals / regionals, anything
The community is what will keep you coming back in the end
This will be the true test of Champions' longevity. While activity is high, each competition is seeing less and less people
Mobile will be the true test as most mobile players will likely have little backlog of Pokémon, so we'll be seeing how new players can truly compete.
