Pokémon finalists protest using Metronome

A Pokémon Scarlet and Violet tournament in South Korea was canceled after its finalists planned to stage a unique protest.

All four players had agreed to field teams made up entirely of pokémon that only know Metronome – a unique and unpredictable move that fires off a completely random move when used.

“Pokemon Korea saw our teams, didn't like it, and therefore disqualified all four of us for playing Metronome,” said Nash, one of the disqualified finalists, in a Twitter post.

The result would have been a tournament final that was decided by pure chance, but The Pokémon Trainers Cup was completely canceled before this could go ahead.

This also meant that the four competing trainers lost their Day 2 pass to the World Championships later this year.

Wow, what the heck? I guess this is a unique way to protest, if nothing else!

In any case, I hope the issues get resolved, and it doesn't happen again.
