TPC telling people to not trade for Pokemon for competition use is so pathetic because
1. If you don't own PLA/BDSP/SWSH+CT you don't have access to TONS of meta threats, and
2. It directly goes against the initial core premise of the franchise gamefreak set out to make.
LOL
Players should not be required to own past games to compete in SV. It's ridiculous to insinuate otherwise. All this does is make it harder for people to play the format!!
