If you ever want this to be even semi-acceptable you guys need to stop referring to games as "battles"...I mean....seriously..
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

i used to play net battle during 3rd generation.

i had an awesome UU team and bugcatcher team.

shuckle 254 def + spec def EV, wrap, toxic, rest, protect
special electrode catches everyone off guard
azumarill for surprise value and people not knowing how to deal with it etc

with OU you have much stronger pokemon, but with UU pokes you have uncommon pokemon where you have little experience against so its harder to counter

Well, it's to differentiate battles (encounters with another team) from the actual game (Diamond, Pearl, etc) itself, no? Especially seeing as the online simulators really have nothing to do with the majority of the game at all. No leveling, no gyms, no catching, just battles.

I've been pleased that Snorlax has been viable in every iteration of the series, even though I don't actually play competitive pokemon

Yeah, I should get into UU (and for that matter, OU), but I don't really like just grinding matches. I play Shoddy against my friends, but that's about it.

For now, I only know OU game. I have no idea how to play Ubers, and the only thing I know about UU is the power of Curse Bibarel or Glibarel combo.

Once fought competitively, but soon gave up because milking stats (breeding) often involved repetitive work worse than those of Korean MMORPG. And there was my high fondness toward lower tier pokemons over more common choices. Didn't know there was computer version; if it doesn't involve massive work to form my team, I may pick it up again.

Needs Slack Off, Snorlax is pretty bad this generation although it is usable

I used to play pokemon competitively. I had a pretty good record on netbattle, and then spent 300+ hours getting my team on gba. Before I entered any tournies with it, D/P came out and I was like fuck. I might restart competitive pokemon again.


Recommend against it. DPPt is a luckfest compared to the RSE gen, you'll just be extremely frustrated from all the luck from it.

p.s. Chill don't go to Smogon they abuse the word "metagame" all the time. It's really annoying!


Smogon has their own definition of the word "metagame". It's used to represent rulesets we set up to create various different games beyond the original game (ie: All tiers are "metagames", because they're "Beyond" the game due to rulesets added on by fans).

Anyway, I honestly do not getting into competitive Pokemon. It's not that great of a game that you would have expect, but that's your call I guess. I can give you reasons why if needed, but hopefully my heavy involvement with Smogon in the past should be enough to turn you away from it :>

I played Netbattle up until DPPt came out and I never bothered to migrate to Shoddy nor learn the new metagame with the physical/special separation and junk. I battled a few times with friends on Shoddybattle but it was just with Smogon's recommended movesets .

I've played competitive Pokemon for a few years. I was most active back when NetBattle was still around (some years ago), but I still play oh Shoddy right now. I'm a pretty consistent ~1400 CRE battler with my teams on the Smogon server, so that's definitely above average on Smogon (and way above the general population).

Haha I used to play netbattle all the time, now i just stick with battle factory in my Platinum version :D. I kinda hated how 4th gen split up same type attacks into physical or special, even though it made so much logical sense. So yeah, never played competitive past 3rd gen, back in the old days where my medicham cheapness actually worked


Current 1v1 open level streak is 28 wooo~
Also, I love watching Haydunn vids!

So I've played a bunch of games and have learned its incredibly annoying when you get a crit when you woulda killed without it but the person complains anyway. So annoying. :/

People complain about everything. It's best not to type in the chat. Also, having others gg prematurely is annoying as well. I don't bother typing anything on the server.
