An official Pokemon Scarlet & Violet tournament in South Korea has been canceled after the four finalists staged a protest and revealed that the teams would be made up of Pokemon which only knew the Metronome move. As Games Radar describe, the Metronome move is an unusual and unpredictable ability and results in a random move from almost all of the series existing abilities, which would have been rather fun. However, Pokemon Korea was not happy and pulled the plug as they clearly realised it was a protest. Nash, who was one of the disqualified players, has explained to fans on Twitter why they were protesting and said that it was due in no small part to the frustration the players were subject to during the competition’s qualifying process. Nash summarised saying that “Pokemon Korea saw our teams, didn’t like it, and therefore disqualified all four of us for playing Metronome.”
