Not surprisingly, this press conference quickly became a hot topic.
For a time, people could be heard discussing things related to Galar's new competition system in the streets, forums, and wherever trainers were active.
Walking around the public battle venues in Binhai City, Luther heard many different voices.
Some people think that the new competition system is just like the Galar League said, and it is a good thing for trainers in various regions.
After all, the previous regional conferences were held for a long time, and every trainer who wanted to verify whether his strength had improved needed to find a suitable opponent to challenge.
But what is a suitable opponent has been troubling trainers.
Not everyone has a close rival like Ash and Shinji, so many people just make contact and start the regional competition challenge in a daze.
One of the great benefits of the ranked competition system is that the trainers at each level are clearly divided using points and rankings. The gap between the two levels of fighting will not be too big, and it can have a good learning effect.
Some people also think that the biggest benefit of the new competition system is that trainers from various regions can communicate more closely. After all, in order to challenge for rankings, you need to contact people from different regions.
But there are also many people who question it.
First of all, some people believe that the existence of gyms is very necessary. Galar's new competition system first puts gyms in a rather embarrassing position.
The gym leader is basically dispensable. If you win the battle, it's fine. If you lose the battle, you'll probably have to bear a lot of criticism.
After all, the points system is quite transparent, unlike the previous alliance assessment system, where whether you are qualified to serve as a gym owner depends on the alliance's review.
Some people think that the new Galar competition system is not as complete as they say, and it is rushed from all aspects.
The competition system introduced in such a hasty manner is bound to have strange loopholes like the reform of the last Suzuran Tournament.
Sitting on a bench in the park, Luther held some elf food in his hand and fed the wild elves in the park.
The endless discussion around him failed to interrupt his thoughts.
Luther is also thinking about Galar's new competition system, and he thinks much more than they do.
The first thing is, if I had not traveled through it, would the Galar region I saw have such a competition system?
If so, does it prove that this is a general trend?
Luther is no longer able to investigate this issue, and now he is more curious about the attitudes of various regional alliances.
These trainers discussed for a long time and only thought about the problem from the perspective of trainers. No one considered the position of the behemoth regional league.
Each regional alliance is called an "alliance". They have the same structure and the same powers. They also have small political systems within them. There are even some local feudal territories and dynasty relics left behind.
Such a complex system has been mixed together by the alliance and has been managed smoothly for such a long time. Each regional alliance is full of experience.
Everyone embraces the name Alliance, but they cannot ignore that they are only responsible for their own regions.
When it comes to regional interests, no party can turn a blind eye.
Galar's appetite is too big. If a new competition system is just launched to play in the Galar region, then everyone will probably send out regional personnel to observe the competition system and see if there is any need to learn from it, just like the last Suzuran Tournament.
In terms of competition system reform, the attitudes of all leagues are consistent.
Practices that can improve the impact of the battle should be followed up.
This is also a major reason why the regular league competition systems within the region are similar.
However, Galar has expressed unabashedly that it hopes that all alliances will update the competition system simultaneously.
The ranking competition system is different from the regional conference. Once each alliance implements it, it will further become an alliance ranking competition held uniformly within the region.
Galar, the initiator, will naturally be able to occupy a dominant position in this capacity.
The second thing is that Galar was unclear in his remarks at the press conference.
If the Elf World Championship is to be held, what rules will be followed?
In regular competitions in Johto and Kanto, some allow the use of MEGA stones, while others do not.
The official competition system of Hoenn Sinnoh also imposes certain restrictions on MEGA evolution.
These are not the most important.
Galar has a very special form of spirit battle, Dynamaxing.
According to the latest research in Galar, the phenomenon of Dynamaxing originated from an elf named Wujutina.
After Wujitina fell into Galar, the energy spilled affected the ecosystem of the entire Galar region, and allowed some elves to possess a very special phenomenon of becoming Gigantamax.
The elves that became Gigantamaxed were greatly enlarged and had greater power in battle.
The reason why MEGA evolution is restricted by the competition system of regional leagues is precisely because this power is not common among the trainer group.
Therefore, quite a few games with MEGA evolution will start when both sides have an elf that can MEGA evolve, and there will not be a situation where you have something and I don't.
The Galar Alliance did not talk about this at all at the press conference. Instead, they gently said "respect the characteristics of regional competitions" in a spring and autumn style.
It respects the characteristics of regional competition. If you say you are opposed to it, then you are unwilling to follow the local customs. Is this discrimination?
Luther can guess that after the official competition system is announced, the Galar region will still maintain battle rules that do not restrict Dynamax and can be used at will.
"The naked home field advantage." Luther murmured, "All the important points that need to be said are understated, and only things that will explode public opinion are mentioned. It's no wonder that the discussion is so high in just one day."
Seeing a group of trainers not far away arguing over who is better in the regional conference or the ranking competition, Luther knew that the Galar League was successful.
This press conference is more of a promotion than an introduction to the new competition system.
The publicity effect is amazing, the trainers who are most concerned about this matter are discussing it, and many people are moved by the prospect described by Galar, and plan to go to Galar to participate in the first championship starting this summer.
Thinking of this, Luther smiled and made a phone call.
After the phone rang for a long time, someone finally answered.
Ron whispered against the phone: "Luther?"
"Is there something? If it's not urgent, can you postpone it a little? I'll call you later."
Luther asked before Ron hung up: "Let me guess, you are having a meeting to discuss the matter of Galar?"
The chair was pulled away, and Luther heard Ron's voice saying "I'm going out for a moment" in the other direction.
After a while, Ron's voice returned to normal.
"It seems you know it too."
"Except for trainers who are very Martian, most trainers who are social and pay a little attention to current affairs know it."
Ron couldn't understand what Luther meant by "Mars", but he was used to it.
"As you said, the top leaders of the Sinnoh Alliance are meeting to discuss it right now."
