New features are coming to the Pokemon Global Link (PGL) for Pokemon Sun and Moon. The website will be updated later this year to be compatible with he upcoming duo of Pokemon games and to introduce Friendly Competitions. This new function will allow players to become competition hosts and hold their own original competitions, where they can set the regulations. There are two types of Friendly Competition that will be available – Online and Live. Read on below to learn more about each of them:
- Online Competitions — These are competitions which are played over the internet. Players will be matched with an opponent and compete against each other for the best rating. These competitions can be open to Pokémon Trainers all over the world, or they can be set to only allow pre-approved Trainers to enter.
- Live Competitions — These competitions allow players to host a competition and play together with friends and other Trainers who are in the same space. The Digital Player ID that contains competition regulations is generated as a QR Code, and by scanning the QR code into a 3DS system, participants can join and battle according to the set regulations.
