5th Gen Pokemon Black/White Random Matches Ranking Useless!

[AusDon]

This is why I schedule battles on forums, and in real life.

 

[NamelessGuy]

I rarely ever battle, but I didn't enjoy my one experience in there.

 

[Steven]

People, just disconnected when they're hacking.

 

[AusDon]

I've only got close to winning once, and everyone else used either hacked pokemon or all OU that are EV'd. : (

 

[2Cool4Mewtwo]

omg.. my cousin ALWAYS uses hacked pokemon... I wish I can just break his action replay ds in half >.<

anyways, yeah... not worth it. another player just dc'd me as well. he had all ubers lv100 but I was still able to OHKO/2HKO-sweep his team with a typhlosion xD (I'm guessing he didn't ev train it). he disconnected me on his last pokemon. what a jerk =.=

 

[Nakuzami]

Hmm...haven't done the random matchups yet. Or really any battling actually :P

But, I think i'll try it tommorow (would today but I have too much freaking homework -.-) some of these hacks that have been mentioned sound like complete fails.

I think if I could somehow get into battles with these hackers on purpose, i'd just hack insanely strong Magikarp into my game just so I can destroy them. Same goes for GTS (Oh, you want a lv9 or under Reshiram for your legit shiny ditto? Is this just so you can show it off? Well guess what? *hacks for a lv5 Reshiram* Bye bye Ditto ;P)

i wouldn't know, because i only do free mode random matchup, but even so, it gets annoying with the hacked pokemon, and if they aren't hacked, its just cheap.

i've been able to beat varying trainers with my regular team and it always seems that i am severely outclassed, but i manage to pull out a win!(you ever see a Cinccino fell an Electivire?). but the hacking is just ridiculous, i've seen some battle videos with outrageous matchups like:

an entire party of Darkrai?!

a level 1 aron getting hit, sturdy kicks in, then it uses endeavor and bang! wipeout! then heals with a shell bell

full team of legendaries or super tough pokemon

 

[Porygon Z]

Really hate this thing.
I mean, accept your losing, next time you could win.

 

[Rionix]

I hope I won't encounter ragequitters when I finally debut on the bigscreen :(

Oh you will, don't set up false expectations. </3

 

[OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire]

I hate when people disconnect. I just had someone disconnect..and they were winning. :|

I just had to though. I was in a triple battle, and they killed two of the three Pokemon on the field. I only had one Pokemon left to send out and it wouldn't let me. :/

I also disconnect when people are hacking. Somehow a Shuckle is faster than a Ninjask. Obvious hack is obvious.

If that's the case than maybe it was simply their wi-fi and not them that caused the Dc...
I hate hack trainers too...
Wow talk about an obvious hack...if one's going to hack they should at least make it not so obvious...

 

[DeeJay]

I've had my share of rage-quitters. The game makes it too easy to get away with though.
I've also had some quality folks that gave me some epic battles. If I can get them down to a single poke with 1 HP and they still win, I'm more than happy to let them get the full win.

It looks like I'm also not the only one who encountered obviously-hacked teams. It's too bad the system doesn't work better :/

 

[Maple Meganium]

You're unlucky because no one ever dced on me :(. I didn't battle that much, but so far it's like 10/10. Don't fight with only shinies against me or I dc hohoho.

I only EV shinies--Eff you!

 

[Vrai]

a level 1 aron getting hit, sturdy kicks in, then it uses endeavor and bang! wipeout! then heals with a shell bell

That's actually just being clever/creative, not cheap in any way imo. ;-;

I'm not an avid WiFi battler myself but I find it fairly disappointing that they don't change your ranking due to D/Cs. People intentionally D/C to not lose ranking, so honestly if they D/C they should lose ranking. Yeah, you might have accidentally done it but hopefully you'll whip your router into shape next time so you don't lose ranking points.

I also wish people wouldn't take this ranking stuff so seriously. :(

 

[Sarcastic Prince]

Bah, if people disconnect, it means that they've already lost.
Disconnect = Surrender = Lose

People always disconnect me when they're about to lose.
So, in other words, I always win.
I never use hacked PKMN. If I happen to battle someone
who does, I'll wipe them out with non-hacked PKMN.

Like a Raichu with Levitate I battled yesterday. that's just plain obvious. -.-''

 

[bwburke94]

I'm used to people DCing anyway, since it happens all the time in Mario Kart Wii. As for hacking... what do you expect, a LEGIT shiny Darkrai?

 

[Molts]

This is a major factor as you why 3rd party tournaments are set up all the time, both here on the forums and else where. ANY "random ranked match up" will always be filled with people who have awful attitudes, because there is no rule.

I personally love when I lose because that means I'll be placed against less powerful people and not completely destroyed, though I do battle so very rarely.

I like how you put it. If they DC at the last moment when they are about to loose, then yeah, they gave up. I have successfully repeated what you just said.

Besides, I think it would be more fun to battle people I know, that way you can go back and work on each others flaws and reflect on each others strengths.

Learning from one another is a great way to learn how to battle if you ask me. Which is what i am hoping to accomplish here in the forums :)

I find it more annoying when ur on pokecommunity and u have faulty wifi so in the middle of a battle or trade, your wifi cuts out and then u get abused. heaps. and then that person overreacts and bans u from there page and u havent even explained what happened yet! that was partly why i left pc for a while anyway!
