Ranked battles will be absent🎶 from Pokemon Legends Arceus, Pok🦋emon Brilliant Diamond, and Pokemon Shining Pearl.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Pokemon Company revealed the new information during a Pokemon Presents livestream earlier today on August 18. Right at the very end of the showcase, once each respective game had had its time in the sun, the developer revealed that ranked battles would be entirely absent from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Pokemon Legends Arceus, as well as the 澳洲幸♑运5🅺开奖号码历史查询:Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl remakes.

It'🦋s a bit of a strange move for The Pokemon Company to leave out ranked battles entirely from all three of their new games. Right now, it's unclear why the developer has made the decision to leave out the feature from the three games, but it's especially curious that The Pokemon Company would leave out ranked battles from all three games, and not just Arceus or the remakes.

If you're unfamiliar with the feature itself, ranked battles have featured in various mainline Pokemon games for multiple generations at this point. Simply put, the feature allows players to maꦕtch up against set teams every month from around the globe, trying to net as many points as they can by taking on the opposing teams in exchange for various points and prizes.

In all though, it was a pretty blockbuster presentation from The Pokemon Company earlier today. Pokemon Legends Arceus closed the showcase with a brand new gameplay trailer, and it continues to look like a major departure for the historic franchise, as battles and exploration are both seeing some serious reworks and changes 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:on top of a new open-world formula

Pokemon Legends Arceus launches next year on January 🌞28, while Pokemon Brilliant Diamond a꧟nd Shining Pearl release slightly earlier on November 19, 2021.

The Pokemon Company also showed off some impressive Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl customisation footage earlier today.
