Rage quitting in Pokken Tournament may not be the best idea. If you happen to leave an online match before it finishes, you’ll be docked with a bit of a penalty.

The image above is what you’ll first see from Nia, your in-game trainer, when you give Pokken Tournament’s online play a shot for the first time. She’ll mention that leaving during the middle of a match is rude, and you’ll be given a penalty.

So what happens if you don’t listen to her advice? You’ll lose some Poke Gold, the in-game currency used to buy cosmetic items.
