Anyone have Pokemon Diamon/Pearl/ or Platinum?

Anyway, I want to make this a battle thread for online battling.

Who knows? Maybe we can turn this into sometrhing bigger. A ladder ranking everyone maybe? Some kind of weird league? Lol. That would be fun... x.x

I don't think there's a topic for this... x.x

Aha, I was wondering if there was a topic like this after our little talk the other day. :3 I'm in. Should we post up our friend codes and what not? Maybe compile a list in your first post?

A ranking system sounds kind of fun, a Fakku pokemon league. xD

We'd have to get more people and agree on the rules first though.

EDIT:An Agrias sig?! Stop trying to tempt mah waifu with your flattery! D:

I've got Platinum. Just restarted my file not too long ago. Good stuff. I do find as more and more versions come out the least I end up liking them, but still its pretty good.

I have platnum I still need to level mine up but when they are ready I'll battle you!! so I really need to work.

I have Platinum. I also have Diamond. I have a 700 hour game time on Diamond. Spent ages trying to make the perfect team.

I transferred everything over to Platinum already. If anyone wants to battle I'm all good with it. So should we start posting friend codes? We should also plan how the ranking system will work.



Fakku Pokemon League. Sounds awesome! :D

Some basics to start us off:

- No ubers:

Mewtwo
Mew
Ho-oh
Lugia
Latias
Latios
Kyogre
Groudon
Rayquaza
Deoxys (all forms except S)
Dialga
Palkia
Giratina
Darkrai
Arceus
Manaphy
Wobbuffet
Garchomp

Don't bother arguing about Jirachi and co. No matter what you say, they're not uber. That's final.

- No Evasion Moves (Double Team, Minimize, etc)

- No OHKO's

And some ladders also ban last resort moves like Selfdestruct, Explosion, Destiny Bond etc. This can be debated.

I've never been one for competitive play. At least not when it comes to people who actually worry over IVs, EVs, and diversifying movesets. My Grass types have primarily grass moves and so on. So if anyone is a player that I mentioned I'm out already. XD

Sorry...me is competitive player. You should have been able to tell by the way I talk ><



But we can still play for fun, right? :)

I suppose. XD

hmm, instead of banning ubers outright (and you are missing Garchomp in the ubers list), id recommend that before a duel, we should state at what tier we wish to play at ;o

also, i think last resort moves should be fine, they are strategic to a certain extent.

also additional clauses we should add ;p:
Sleep Clause - No two Pokemon on the same team may be affected by sleep at the same time (self-induced Sleep due to Rest, etc, does not count towards this quota)
Soul Dew Clause - Soul Dew may not be used on any Pokemon
Species Clause - You may not use two Pokemon of the same species

Yeah, those clauses should be added, and how on Earth did I miss Garchomp. >< Fixed now. Thanks.

Garchomp is useless at uber tier though. You have to admit.

Don't forget the Freeze Clause.

Here's what I'm looking at...

UBERS
Arceus
Darkrai
Deoxys (All Forms)
Dialga
Garchomp
Giratina (Both Forms)
Groudon
Ho-oh
Kyogre
Latios
Lugia
Manaphy
Mew
Mewtwo
Palkia
Rayquaza
Shaymin-S
Wobbuffet
Wynaut

Clauses
Evasion Clause
Moves that boost evasion (i.e. Double Team and Minimize) are not allowed.
Freeze Clause
Two or more Pokémon on a team cannot be frozen at the same time.
Sleep Clause
Two or more Pokémon on a team cannot be asleep at the same time. Self-induce sleep via rest does not activate Sleep Clause.
OHKO Clause
One-Hit KO moves are not allowed. (e.g. Fissure, Guillotine)
Species Clause
Two or more of the same Pokémon may not be used on the same team.
Self KO Clause
If both players have only one Pokémon left, moves which KO both the user and the opponent are not allowed (e.g. Explosion, Destiony Bond). If recoil damage would cause a tie, Self KO Clause does not activate, and the player who last attacked is the winner.
Soul Dew Clause
The item Soul Dew cannot be held by any Pokemon.
Item Clause
All Pokémon on a team must hold different items. This is not a standard clause in competitive play, but it is used in Nintendo tournaments.


Of course, rules can be agreed upon by the trainers. Just some basics. Lol.

iAgree with everything except this. iThink Deoxys-S has a debatable argument. iDon't use Deoxys, but I don't think Deoxys-S should be banned.

I don't make the rules. I just use the widespread rules set by the Pokemon battling community, namely Smogon.

Yeah, I just said it's debatable. :)

It doesn't affect me if Deoxys is banned completely since I don't use it. I just don't think Deoxys-S deserves to be banned.

I can see how it is though with that insane speed, decent attack, and a hoooooog move pool. Great revenge killer.

Agreed, And deoxys-S though weak, it can exploit alot of things with it's speed.

Also, i didnt list the freeze clause mainly because its near impossible to control >>; there isnt a real move that is dedicated to freeze, and you cannot control your ice beam to freeze someone. It would suck if you are banned from using ice beam the moment 1 pokemon on your opponent's side gets frozen.

and yes, i cant believe i left out the self-KO clause. And also i think the item clause is retarded but, whatever xD

Be careful with your 10% Ice Beam freezes... Lol.

What else can it do besides lay Spikes/Stealth Rock?

(as shia said): revenge killer.

And, the complete utter bane of all sub/salac and reversal sweepers.

As a Stealth Rock/Spiker, a Dual Screener, a Revenge Killer with incomparable coverage, Taunter, Choice Band/Specs, Stall to a certain extent.

Speed makes it perfect at doing all very well
