So does anyone still, like, battle competitively?

[MSW0]

Or is there a Topaz room/server on Pokemon Online?

Been thinking about getting back into it, just want to know if anyone from around here still throws down.

[SilentSentinel]

We don't have a server, but many of us battle on PO. Zero, Pokepoindexter, XTS, and myself all partake. I'm currrently attempting to be number 1 on the Pokemon Online server in Dream World Little Cup, but it's hard since that tier is so unpopular.

[NyteFyre]

I'm on there occasionally, but only battle people i know, since i'm still learning, and very incompetent in my abilities.

DW LC?? We've actually been debating deleting that tier. Why don't you play Wifi LC instead? It's considerably more active by comparison.

Anyway, yeah I am on the official PO server whenever I'm online and can always be reached there. Sometimes I'll be afk or too busy to notice PO flash but I'll always get back to your PM or whatever when I see it.

I battle GSC OU, ADV OU, ADV Ubers, Gen 4 OU, and Gen 4 Ubers - although I need to rebuild my ADV Ubers team before I do a serious battle in that tier. Haven't gotten into 5th gen yet.

I've been top 20 in GSC/ADV OU, top 100 in Gen 4 OU, and #1 on both ADV/Gen 4 Ubers.

While I'm bragging, I might as well mention that I'm a mega-admin on the PO server, an admin on the forums, and a site admin. I'm actually going to be helping them roll out a new site design soon, and have been spending time sprucing up the forums' Silver skin.

That's nice and all zeroality, and imma let you finish, but you seem to forget that I knew my way around a Pokeball back in my days.

I'm just creeping around on there right now and trying to get my head around the entire generation I skipped out on. I'm just ecstatic there's still Challenge Cup. Oh yeah.

[SilentSentinel]

My seekrut weapon is not banned in LC DW. For some reason. It's just as broken in that tier.

[SilentSentinel]

Please excuse the double post.

Well, I switched over to Wifi LC today. Not really voluntarily though, you guys did end up deleting DW LC. I was so close to number 1, but alas. I switched the ever so broken Murkrow out of my team for Choice Scarf Darumakka (Not sure what the english name is) to make my team legal.

[zeroality]

I didn't know they went ahead and deleted DW LC but yeah nobody was playing it, pretty much.

The 5th gen tiers in the > dropdowns was my idea. It was such a (curse word)clusterfuck without it. So I guess they deleted DW LC when they put in the updated tier list format. Sorry bud.

MSW0 and I played a bit last night. Fun stuff. He made me act like a total idiot.

[NyteFyre]

Darumakka is Darumaka in America.

lol, we are so clever. :P

[PokePoindexter]

I mostly do ADV battling when I play, and am trying to figure out stuff that can work in the 5th generation. I hated 4th generation, so I don't play there.

[SilentSentinel]

First DW LC is deleted, then my favorite basic stage pokemon in 5th gen (Scraggy) is banned for a month. Oh well, I replaced it with NP Misdreavus, who does pretty well.

[Konrad]

I was gonna try and battle competitively, but then I got distracted by Topaz. Maybe we could have a small tourny with just us?

[SilentSentinel]

Certainly a possibility. We used to have them every now and then, but we kinda stopped during a period of low activity. I think I've improved quite a bit since then, so I certainly wouldn't be opposed to having one again.

[zeroality]

Yeah, here's (http://www.pokemontopaz.net/forums/showthread.php?356-D-P-Little-Cup-Congrats-to-Shadow_Rukario) the last tournament we did.

They were fun, I wouldn't mind playing in a couple. I'd recommend we try to make sure we have 8 people interested before we make a thread.

PO Forums has a teams repository (http://pokemon-online.eu/forums/forumdisplay.php?23-Teams), if you didn't know.

[NyteFyre]

I deal only in DW battling, and therefore have no clue if I would be able to compete in the tourney, but I'd be happy to try.

[zeroality]

First DW LC is deleted

rp, you NOOB. It wasn't even deleted...

It's under 5th Gen > Other >

>_>

Also if you guys want to do a tournament, someone's going to have to take the initiative.

[SilentSentinel]

Well it just wasn't where it was before. Plus now no one plays it at all...

Trying to get my ranking high so my vote counts more in the Chandelure suspect vote. Everytime I get to like 1300 I lose about four times in a row, it's really annoying.

[zeroality]

Yay weighted votes.

I had a big hand in getting that system pushed forward. :)

koko came up with the idea, ete/mib/coyo did the formula, and I just sat around and ate all their eggs.

[SilentSentinel]

I'm going to vote to keep it in OU personally. I actually find it nice since the Scarf ones always use Overheat. Makes it easy for me to get a free turn of setup on my next poke.

[EthanK]

But still, they are a bit overpowered, barring the Stealth Rock weakness. However, I prefer Ulgamoth in every way, as long as I have a spinner.

[SilentSentinel]

Been using some rather trollish double battle tactics recently.

My current team involves using Simple Beam on my own pokemon, who then Dragon Dances, giving it a +2/+2 in attack and speed after one turn. I also used a combo of Beat Up Whimsicott with Justified Lucario, and round it out with Worry Seed/Simple Beam + Rock Polish Regigigas.

[zeroality]

Are you guys going to vote regarding Chansey?

Wifi UU is doing a vote for 3 days then DW UU is doing a vote for 3 days (they had to be done separately, due to how the system works) and you can't vote from both.

If you want time to ladder up then do Dream World UU since you'll have 5-6 days from today to vote. A 'ban' win will put Chansey at BL.

[SilentSentinel]

Ew, not sure which way to go on that one. There are some UU pokes that can beat Chansey, but I've been kicking some butt with in OU as well.

[EthanK]

The 5th gen has more worthy pokemon than any other gen
