Pokemon Online

>_>  So hopefully I'm not stepping on any toes posting first here.  I hope that's okay!

Anyhow guys, since I know Nobori has issued challenges to a bunch of players, I was thinking we could actually duke it out over Pokemon Online!  Obviously this is entirely optional; if you'd rather just say someone won we could do that, instead.  But if you're interested in an actual RP battle, the server is here: http://pokemon-online.eu/index.php.  It'd be a great way to have identical teams to the ones in-game and really see if Volkner could beat Whitney and vice versa.

The beauty of it is not having to breed for moves/nature/gender/IVs; just get it up and go.

I'd suggest keeping Freeze Clause, Sleep Clause, and Evasion Clause up just so we aren't going insane at each other, but if you want a truly authentic battle and your Gym Leader's main strategy is Double Team/Sand Attack, we'd have to talk, I guess!  Also, obviously there are going to be level discrepancies between, say, Lt Surge's pokemon and Cynthia's.  So I would also suggest doing matches at either 50 or 100, just remember to set your EVs. 

We could also use Shoddy Battle (http://shoddybattle.com/), but it's only up to 5th gen, so any Ns or Blacks or Whites or, say, Noboris would have to sit that one out.

Thoughts?

Haha, I was going to make the comm all pretty and sparkly before posting, but you're not stepping on any toes, bb! ♥ Anyway, on to the actual idea!

First, a pointer: a great way to have identical teams to the ones in-game and doing matches at either 50 or 100. See, but if we did that, then the teams wouldn't exactly be identical, would they? My suggestion here would be for the Gym leaders to use their rematch teams, since their Pokemon have higher levels and more competitive move sets.

Also, I've never used pokemon-online, but is it possible to set IVs for the Pokemon? Because all of Cynthia's Pokemon have their IVs at 31 and that's pretty relevant, battle-wise.

... that aside, I don't think I'd do it myself, since Cynthia is a ~battle princess~ and I'm a battle failure LMAO. |DDD

@Ruby because I'm too lazy to comment and post a separate post: Yup, you can definitely set the IVs! It'd be kind of bad if you couldn't since the Hidden Power type/power depends on the IVs, ya know? :P

Anyways, I'm all for this idea because I need more experience with battling, even if this isn't too competitive I love PO and it seems really fun! Even though I have my doubts about Barry's team.
