I don't have to.

Now more than ever, I'm glad to only play single player games

> So, it's not possible to play w/ two Nintendo Switches on local connection wirelessly?
I think you need codes for this, but obviously with so many people at these events (the larger ones can easily have around 1000) the codes don't really work

Even something as simple as the old school gba link cable would have been better than:
Buy USB to ethernet adapter
Have ethernet hubs available on every table
Have ethernet cables
Have USB stand because we are now not allowed to hold the switch or take off the joy cons
And have an online switch subscription because we are using LAN

It's kind of BS that anyone can join in a trade and we have to set codes instead of the option to directly select our friends from a list like previous games.

Can it be so hard to make a switch link cable? I don't imagine so

Yep

PSS was the pinnacle of online Pokémon play in the mainline games.

Gts was a perfectly good thing

Yeah, totally agre

Yeah, totally agree

I'd say Gen 6 was by far the healthiest vgc has ever been

GTS was trash w/ the requests and was slowly getting better w/ us being able to filter out ridiculous requests.

GTS is better than what we have now though, which is the main thing

Could've been regulated better

Before swsh, I would have totally agreed with you

There is no replacement for GTS, though.

But now it's gone I can only see its benefits

It's just a lack there of now.

Yeah, link trades really aren't good enough
