wow san-chan nice way to use milotic in OU of all things
i should probably go ahead and breed out an OU team but none of them have been working on shoddy lately
apparently there’s rumors going around that the pokemon b/w servers are getting uploaded and that’s causing the DC online.
the battle frontier is FUCKING HORRIBLE! 64 BP for Elemental Punches? That’s a whopping 128 for two I need! It’s so damn hard and boring, even defeating a brain does shit. The games are so full of hax it’s just why bother, but I have to play if I want Fire Punch and Ice Punch.
I was thinking about the battle during my workout and I think I’d become so accustomed to making Pokémon but not trying them out in battle (the ol’ what works in theory doesn’t necessarily work in practice). Although we won’t know who would’ve won, I’d say you had a strong advantage over me and because of that I’m motivated to battle more often to better myself. I might even learn something. 
Thanks man. :tup: I COULD have used staple OU bulky waters like Vaporeon and Suicune but I love using a BL/UU Pokémon now-and-then and I’ve always loved Milotic. :lovin:
well if you’re making pokemon again, make me a no guard machamp with dynamicpunch and a mixed dragonite lead. Oh yeah and a toxic spikes roserade 
:bgrin:
Hey, maybe if you pitch it to Nintendo, they can do it like the show where if you watch another Pokemon do a move, and you train and REALLY believe you can do it, you learn it.
Pff, we’d sooner get the universal TM, Dodge It.
Or back in the old days where everyone would have like 6 attacks.
On a more serious note, I’d really love to have Pokemon be able to have up to 8 moves in their arsenal, but only allowed 4 in a given fight. It’d make things WAY more versatile in that regard. Just make it so that at the beginning of a battle, the list is fully accessible, but you have to lock in a move as you use it.
I don’t think the full movelist should be accessible in its entirety though.
would make things way more interesting
Anything more than 4 moveslots would quickly turn into X/X/X/Rest/Sleep Talk on 95% of Pokemon.
time for move deletion
:lol: yeah rest talking teams would be the standard all over the place.
yes yes yes yes yes
last night playing tower
turn 1 latias vs granbull
granbull quick claw activation
granbull ice fang
se! latias is frozen!
wasn’t very cool
Did someone say Battle Frontier cheating?
Long absence, some of you may not remember me or care since I’m new here anyway
But reading through the page I saw some wifi action? I’m not the greatest, but I win more than I lose. I’m on PO and Heart gold if anyone is up for a challenge. Been playing with some new leads and counters ; )
It really rubs trainers the wrong way, especially those competing for BP. I touched on this early when this thread was made, but legitimately it’s fucking impossible to win in some situations. I wanna discuss the whole “frontier” seeing many people have their own reasons of hating it:
Battle Tower
It’s the quickest way to earn BP if you’re good enough. A laughable reward of 1/3 BP is a slap in the face at the other frontiers. This one is the most haxy of them all I swear, and 3vs3 limits you to tier whoring/EV training. Seriously, at least 1/3 of the people don’t know what the hell EVs are! The wifi battle rooms are FILLED with Japanese trainers with Garchomp, and you have to find your way around at least 4 of them per room. There’s always going to be one that nails you, giving the hax in these battles. Pure BS. It’s been noted that at least 80% of the people battling at the tower have used a “wondertomb” somewhere down the line, countering hax with cheating. Tower Tycoon is still a beast, especially if he starts with that damn Milotic. I really don’t like this place, but I play more here than others.
Battle Factory
I only played here like once or twice. It gives 5 BP every successful play through, but god is it soooo slow and there’s a little bit of hax in here too. I don’t like the idea of “renting” pokemon, especially if I can’t see their stats/movesets after matches but I guess that’s the idea. I have to pay special attention to my opponents moveset during the fight, yeah I have enough to worry about like not losing. I never fought the brain here, but I’d rather not have too. Takes too long to reach him.
Battle Arcade
ZZZ, pokemon in board game form. It’s not bad, but again it’s slow if you need that fast BP! Never reached the brain, don’t care either.
Battle Castle
They give CP, castle points. It’s kinda like battle arcade you lose your held items though and have to through 7 rounds. Pokemon do not get healed after bouts, I’d rather just play in the Battle Factory or don’t go to both. Again, 3 pokemon. Nothing special here.
Battle Hall
Another slow one, hell all of them are really slow in their own right. 1vs1 is seemingly better and quick, but only 1 BP? Hahahaha, BS! 50 bouts gets you the brain, you never know what she’ll use. You can get more BP, but playing like a 1000 worth of matches isn’t worth the effort. Why do these places suck so damn much? Why do the move tutors want so much damn BP? Greedy bastards I swear.
Fastest way to get BP, at least for me, is the battle tower. I think after 50 + wins you get 7 bp per 7 win streak.
My win streak so far is 100+
I have around 300 bp
You could always use AR for BP.
Tower is pretty haxy (quick claw crits! quick claw freeze! 2 burns in 2 turns! OHKO move hits 5 times in a row! 100% accurary moves miss 7 times in a row with 95% accurary!), but good teams can usually get a lot of wins and BP fast. Make a team of Starmie/Garchomp/filler to get through first 21 battles for 26 BP a run.
Factory is a bitch. My highest streak there is 36, and likes to kill you at the worst times.
Arcade and Castle are boring, don’t like them.
Hall is ok, but can be haxy here as well (and even Chomp/Mence have trouble in some areas, see Weavile).
I miss my AR 
Smogon team tested battle tower mechianics, some found really good strats to use. Jumpman’s team zenken touched starmie/chomp/Ttar worked very well over 100 wins, I’ve also seen forelass, gengar, blissey. I used gengar, Ttar, chomp early D/P and got around 80 wins. You get 7 BP after like 50 wins in single mode battle tower, but you can only challenge tower tycoon twice it seems. Wifi rooms are different you get rewarded as much as 10 BP the higher the rank, and the highest rankings are filled with nothing but gimmicky pokemon. I was at rank 10 and saw F.E.A.R, an eevee, a farfecth’d, etc. the grind is really around rank 5-9.
EDIT - Good news wifi is up and running again, seems like. Just had a full match in like 4 days, too bad I swepted by Electrivire 6-0 (I took out Aerodactyl at least :sad:) congrats to the smogoner
Didn’t someone out there come up with a GTS hack not too long ago, which essentially allowed you to do… damn near anything via Pokesav? Might wanna look into that if you have no AR.
