True on all accounts

I would like a “federated” and open battle simulator. I would also like some viable alternative to pokemon for turn-based monster battling (the only one I know of is Temtem, and it’s not doing well). Pokemon could also pull the plug on “Pokemon Showdown” at any moment. Though they are benevolent today, they may not be tomorrow.

I’m not really looking to compete with Pokemon, it just has a game-mode that inspired the project. Kind of like “World of Warcraft” and “League Of Legends” - they are not competitors at all, but LoL wouldn’t exist without WoW.
