gone gently
The question is: How do you Serebii members battle?

The options are: Wi-Fi, normal linking, PBR, and NetBattle mediums.

What stinks for me is that I don't have Wi-Fi or wireless, I do have a computer that can't handle NetBattle, and I have no local friends of equal skill in Pokemon. The few times I do get to battle competitively is during visits to Nintendo World in New York City, formerly the Pokemon Center NY.

In order to suppress my frustration at being unable to battle competitively as often as I'd like, I ask the rest of you to taunt me with your battling capabilities.

Please proceed to do so in a calm and orderly fashion.
 
Oh, there's no option for me to tick.

I don't battle at all. I hate the whole battling aspect of Pokemon (whether it be in PBR, with a local friend, over WIFI...whatever).

The only battling i do is in game. E4, wild Pokemon and Rival, all to just gain EV's and raise Pokemon to level 100.

But i do not battle whatsoever anyway competitively or anything like that. I even steer clear of the Battle Tower/Frontier as well. I hate those as much as i hate battling
 
I'm sorry, palkia1. I hadn't thought of that.

Why do you worry about EVs if you never battle out-of-game? And how could you ever resist the Battle Frontier? That place rocks for me.

I don't really know why i EV train and IV breed even though i don't battle. I just find EV training for fun, and i like having stronger Pokemon, i just don't like battling them. I love breeding and training in game, no battling aspect.

As for the Battle Frontier, it's mainly because i never liked the Battle Tower in any of the previous games and the Battle Frontier was like seven Battle Towers which i already hated, so you can understand how much i disliked the Battle Frontier

You're being sarcastic... right??? raising your pokemon to lvl 100 and perfecting their EV's is STUPID AND POINTLESS BORING LABOR without battles to use them at.

as for me, I have to choose 'other' because I use the Battle Tower Wifi Room which is a little different from wifi-normal

Obviously it can't be stupid, labourious, pointless or boring (to him) as he's said he enjoys it.

As for me I just do normal battling and PBR as I dont have a wi-fi link and although I personally dont have a PBR game my friends does so I battle using that each time I go over.

btw can soemone tell me what net battle means?

NetBattle and ShoddyBattle are online Pokemon-battling simulators, apparently.

One of the reasons I posted this poll was the hope that an experienced battler would be able to offer me some knowledge about these programs. I have only begun looking into them recently, and I wanted to understand how they work and what exactly you can achieve with them.

Well...You can use them to try out a Team. It would save time, since you wouldn't have to Nature/IV breed, get the correct Hidden Power (if applicable), EV train the Pokemon and find an opponent. I'm only repeating the info that I learned from researching them myself, so I might be wrong... (I'm pretty sure you can set the EVs, IVs, HP, and Moveset of the Pokemon you plan to use)


Anyway, I'm like palkia1. I like to EV train my Pokemon, but I don't like to battle competitively. However, I am going to challenge the Battle Tower in Pearl, since I need the TMs and such...
 
Thanks for the replies!

Why don't you guys offer us the details. Why you use the medium you do- is it easier? More challenging? What's it like when you battle?

I second that. I think it's really boring and a waste of time.
 
I use Shoddy as I can't be ****ed breeding.
 
Mostly I do PBR random wi-fi battles. I would like to have 6 vs 6 battles using friend codes, but it seems that my internet connections are rather unreliable; I once tried to have 6 vs 6 battle with someone on this forum using friend codes, but the battle ended in disconnection and same thing happened when I tried to have a remach. However, random wi-fi battles in PBR work just fine, probably because they are shorter than 6 vs 6 battles. I like to have all these battles because I like challenges.

I just wonder is it just bad connections why my 6 vs 6 battles ended in disconnection. How often does disconnectin happen in 6 vs 6 battles? Anyone?

Can't you just buy an USB-connector for your DS?

Well, perhaps if I knew what that was. Or how to use it.

See, I'm really not tech-savvy, at all.
