Title: Pokemon Online - Battle Simulator
Post by: Bikdark on August 19, 2011, 03:24:40 AM
http://pokemon-online.eu/
Yes yes, I know there's already a B/W topic, but this is a completely different aspect of pokemon in general
Pokemon Online is a battle simulator released some time in 2009-10. If you're not familiar with tiers, they're banlists for pokemon, which makes the game more balanced and fun. For in depth guides on competitive battling, go to http://www.smogon.com/. PO allows you to create "perfect" pokemon that are totally legal in game, but through EV training, IV and move breeding, which can be extremely tedious tasks, and that's why this sim was created. PO supports generations 2, 3, 4 and 5. There are still a few bugs, namely Copycat changing how it works from gens 4 to 5, but that's quite minor. Updates for PO come about every 1-2 months, and there's currently an android app for the sim. Just spreading the word about PO and competitive battling because only about 2 people on this forum know about smogon and such, but pretty much everyone plays pokemon here. I guess this topic should just be used for discussion about PO and competitive battling in general.
Inb4 no one responds or gets locked because there's already a B/W topic even though this isn't B/W at all.

I already have it. I just don't really use it as I'm not really competitive.

I'd try, but then that would evolve into PVP battling and I NEVER do PVP in pokemon, besides, alot of people don't even use there favorites period, they just go for the strongest possible pokemon and when they see a stronger one, they just throw away there weakest one like last weeks leftovers

I always use a team of abra, sneasel, swalot, quagsire, drowzee, and grumpig

So, if I have to battle a trainer that has a team of lv50-60, I use my lv20 Riolu, my lv15 Dialga and my lv30 Reshiram. Right?

Excuse me?
>Implying you NEED to use favorites
It's called competitive for a reason, and that's what OU is for, the most overused pokemon. It's to see who can use the "best" pokemon to build a team that wins most often. There are of course people who use their favorites, but not everyone is going to use a damn Noctowl and Exploud on their team!

He's trying to say that just because they're your favorites, doesn't mean that you should have to use them.

You need to select gen 2 from the generations list, and then you can have the infinite EV's that gen 2 allowed you to have.

So you can't be competitive if you decide to use favorites? /me looks at his team of Genesect, Eelektross, Mr Mime, Keldeo, Durant and Cobalion.

Other than that, gender hardly plays a role in battles since it is somewhat up to chance for infatuation to work and mostly now just only important for breedin'.
Anyone have a favorite type of Pokemon for any reason?
Title: Re: Pokemon Online - Battle Simulator
Post by: Solar Equinox on November 28, 2011, 02:41:12 AM
Fighting, Psyic, Steel, Ghost, Grass, and Dragon.
Most of my favorite pokemon desige wise have one of these types.
Title: Re: Pokemon Online - Battle Simulator
Post by: Trollman on November 28, 2011, 02:49:55 AM
None at all, the only thing I identify types as is what tells if a pokémon is weak/strong/more resistant to another type.
Title: Re: Pokemon Online - Battle Simulator
Post by: LifeCraft J on November 28, 2011, 03:25:30 AM
I tend to really like dragon because that element is only weak to two other elements: Ice and Steel.
Although, "dragon beats dragon" really annoys me sometimes.
I have absolutely NO idea why Bug beats Psychic, but whatever.
I don't like water. Maybe because I think water does not have many strong moves.

Know what move that is really OP?
Earthquake.
I hate that move with a passion. It normally almost always kills in one hit. If only it's PP was limited to 3 or maybe 5 hits, it would be fine.

Ya do realize that the ONLY type that Dragon moves do super effective damage is Dragon, right? How does that annoy ya?
I have absolutely NO idea why Bug beats Psychic, but whatever.
I don't like water. Maybe because I think water does not have many strong moves.
Surf, Hydro Pump, Waterfall, Scald, Aqua Tail... need some more? Not to mention that Surf is EVERYWHERE.

Get somethin' with Flyin' type or Levitate, easy as that. Heck, a good physical wall would do the trick too.

Now onto answerin' my own question on types...
I like Water, Steel, and Electric types.
I don't like Bug, Fire, and Poison.

Water's coverage is great and I liked them ever since Gen I. I slowly grew to like Electric types since most of their Special Attack and Speed are pretty good on average. Steel is just awesome in defense. However Ground attacks are somewhat bothersome since it wreaks Steel and Electric types.

I really don't like Fire types with their "glass cannon" role as they are way too fragile for my tastes. MOST Bug Pokemon are horridly weak but there are some of those cool Bug types around. Poison's weakness to Ground and its terrible coverage just bothers me.

Psychic types represent humans, who are generally afraid of bugs, ghosts and dark/scary things.

Surf. Scald. Hydro Pump. Those are just a few of the good water type moves

EQ is 100 base power with 16 BP on PO, it's not that bad. It's also Ground typed, so it's easy to switch into a Flying type or levitating pokemon on the EQ predict. Sheesh, it's not even that common of a move anymore

And to answer that favorite pokemon type question: I'm fond of Fighting, Dark, Ghosts and Steel types, and despise Grass, Ground, Psychic and Fire types.

Post by: Solar Equinox on November 28, 2011, 01:41:19 PM
Dragon is not weak to steel, it just does not do a lot of damage to it.
And just because, my 5 least favorite types are Ice (horrible defense and I rarely come a cross a team that ice wrecks) Bug, (with the execption of a few bug is just bad all around) Posion (only reason why poison type existis is to poison things nuf' said) Rock (same reason as Ice but we have ground, IT ALMOST THE SAME THING) and Dark (weak to fighting terrible attacking moves that rely on the opponets team makeing it very situational, and up untill gen 4 dark pokmon had high attack but dark moves were a specal move, and up untill gen 5 they had barly any resistances.

Glaceon and Wash Rotom has a decent amount of Defense
Bug, (with the execption of a few bug is just bad all around)
Ya might be right on that.
Posion (only reason why poison type existis is to poison things nuf' said)
Not all Poison-type moves have to poison the opponent. Acid Armor is a common, defence strengthening, support move for defensive Pokemon, like Vaporeon and Clear Smog works like Haze, eliminating all stat changes.
Rock (same reason as Ice but we have ground, IT ALMOST THE SAME THING)
Rock-type Pokemon aren't exactly the same as Ground-type Pokemon, aside from their similar defensive stats. Ground-types cannot beat Flying-types. Rock-types can...very easily. Some Rock-type Pokemon are well-known to be defensive. Gigalith is pretty good at staying alive in some battles and Shuckle is widely used for saboteur-based strategies. The only thing bad about Rock-type Pokemon some of them have another type that weakens them down further (ex. Golem, Steelix, Magcargo, Tyranitar).
and Dark (weak to fighting terrible attacking moves that rely on the opponets team makeing it very situational, and up untill gen 4 dark pokmon had high attack but dark moves were a specal move, and up untill gen 5 they had barly any resistances.
Most Dark-types were made for saboteur strategies, like Umbreon. Some Dark-types, like Absol and Hyderigon, were made for fighting. The majority of Dark-type moves were physical, not special. Until Gen 5, which introduced Night Daze and Snarl, The only special Dark-type move was Dark Pulse.

I don't really prefer specific types since I'm not much into actual battling. I usually just shuffle through what I have, or can find, research, and develop a strategy around it.

From gen 1 to 3 all moves were ether physical or spechal based on the type of move it was (I.e all fire moves were specal all fighting moves were physical) Untill gen 3 all Dark type movers were classifyed as special, my thoughts on dark types is that in general the type got better over the years

A bit bumpish, but here's 2 more battles I had with Sean. Difference this time is that I've helped him to construct a new team. Fun thin' is that Sean's team is mono gen. I've got a lot of other replays, but they were all slaughters and not really worth a watch.

Game 1 (http://pokemon.aesoft.org/replay-Sean-Nelson-vs-SaviorSword--2011-12-18)

Me and Smunch frequent the Pokemon Online server every now and then. We usually stay for the Mafia Games but we do battle. Mostly NU and UU (5th gen). I go on as "Saltopus". Yeah I know... but he's one of my favorite comic book characters, plus most of the comic book names are taken :P

Weather abuse makes OU disgusting. And I just flat out hate legendaries. If you're (or any one for that matter) wants to go for a bit of NU/UU hit me up.
I'll usually be in the Pokemon Online Server.

I know, I know, I'm just odd like that, I just find them so unappealing especially the ones in NU and UU. I mean come on its the lower tiers, they should not be there.

To me, weather didn't "ruin" thin's in OU for me. I'm guilty of usin' a weather team too, however I do find non-weather teams a lot more interestin' to play with (hence my "main" team is my Gravity team").

Also, why can't Alakazam learn Gravity with Magic Guard?

Just checked, it can.
What version are you using? 1.0.30? If so, some DW stuff got updated in 1.0.52.

Download the new installer from the site and install it over everything else. Your teams and settings will remain intact.

I played against Uki, but for some reason, the version update messed up my online settin' and I missed out recordin' the 3 battles we had. :(
It went like this...
Gravity Team < Uki 0:1
Rain Team > Uki 4:0
My sister's Team < Uki 0:1?2?

Fun games though, I really do wish I could upload them.

It's not as long as my battle against Smunch, 322 turns I believe, I'd have to check the log.
If anyone is up for a battle well, look for me in PO (under "Saltopus" I know random).

Oh my fucking god, Smogon.
Anti fun, anti fun everywhere.

Edit: Eh, just saw replay 17, and I see you're making some pretty obvious plays. Thundering a Vaporeon when the Dugtrio switch is pretty obvious, thinking Dug wouldn't got for a 2nd Sucker Punch and KO your Starmie, etc.
If you're being swept, don't switch into something like Meta or Tran just to get rocks up, as they're not switching any time soon.
Also, use the team preview to your advantage, don't just close it. Your team is also pretty susceptible to one of the most common moves in the game: EQ

Kinda already noticed that HALF my team were Steel type. Pretty much if my foe had a Fire or Ground move, my team would be screwed over badly. Metagross had to go for Dragonite for resistance coverage. I'm startin' to get the hang of prediction and whatnot with more experience under my belt.
