Who would've thought a free-to-play online PvP game based on a beloved IP like Pokemon Champions could be so controversial? First, it was the bugs and performance issues, then it was all of those missing features, and then there's that alleged bug that traps Pokemon in limbo between Pokemon Home and Champions. Now, players are locked in heated discussion about whether a new change to the game's ruleset is a good thing or not.
As reported by Automaton, Pokemon Champions battles have a timer on them, and if it runs out, the battle ends in a draw, whereas before the winner would be decided based on how many active Pokemon they still have. If that number was the same, the player with the most HP would win. Now, no matter what, time out matches end in draws.
