Hey Everyone, havent Posted for a while. Im From Australia.

Anyway, Who Loves the News that Rental Pokemon are Back? I Do.
Do you Think They'll Have Every Single Pokemon or Just a Handful that you can Find in DP? Discuss & Speculate.

Thankyou,
Aquapolis V

They probably wont have Pokémon like Mewtwo, Ho-oh, Lugia, ya know, certain Legendaries. The news about being able to register teams has me excited. I won't be using Rentals.

Why not?
Rentals add strategy since you are not as familiar with them compared to your own Pokemon.

I guess I Like It Because when I battle friends; I Usually don't have a Variety of Pokemon On Hand in the Games that are all of the same level & Stuff, & that's what really bugged me about Colleseum, that you couldn't just have a battle & Choose a From Variety of Rental Pokemon. So Glad theyre Back.

Thankyou,

I love Rentals! I used to make my brothers adventures, like they chose their starter, then fought a single pokemon, if they defested it they could choose to catch it or not, and stuff, I had gyms, tournaments (like a Fighting Tournament) and etc... I love these guys are back! I don't mind no rental legendaries rule, they supposedly couldn't catch legendaries on the "adventures" I made up :D

Nothing to be done
This announcement makes me happy as no other for this game has. Rental Pokemon allow you to casually and quickly battle with a friend or two, ensure a way to battle on equal footing (sans the level differences of the main games), and incorporate the strategy of on-the-fly team building and working around sub-par movesets. There's just something enjoyable about being able to try out nearly every Pokemon, as well.

lol thats exactly what i used to do it was soooo fun:)
 
I hope by doing a certain thing you can unlock event rental Pokemon for PBR which you can also transfer to D/P, just like how you got Celebi and stuff at the Gym Leader Castle though you could not send them to the GB games..

Thank Goodness, rentals are back! Now I can REALLY call this a Stadium-type game.

Well that rental Celebi sucked, but for most people it was the only way to legitimately use a Celebi. I doubt unlocking anything will allow us to get pokemon like Sheimi or Darkrai (there's the glitch for that). Maybe an event pokemon should be a download for the winner of an official online tournament via WiFi or something... D:

I never had an N64 so I only played Stadium with friends a few times, so how does the rental system work?

Rentals were provided at any moment you chose to commence battle. If you didn't have a game, you had rental pokemon to cover for that. You could choose from most of all the pokemon excluding some major legendaries like Mewtwo, Ho-Oh and Lugia (you could unlock Mew and Celebi), but the drawback is that most of the fully-evolved pokemon have terrible movesets. Best rental pokemon was Wobuffett. :D

(I guess the reason why Colo/XD didn't have rentals was because you could already catch your own in-game)

"Rental Pokemon make a comeback for when you wish to battle friends who don't have Diamond or Pearl. These are done in the new Colosseum; Gate Colosseum which is overlooked by Poketopia."



Doesn't that imply that Rentals can only be used in that particular stadium?

Rentals are great, because all though I have one of every pokemon, they're never the same levels that my brother wants to use, so I can't use many.

At least now I can test them out before training them. :)
