Online is horrible!
 
I've spent an hour just trying to find someone to battle and every declines, whats the point of being online if you wont play online. I just want some friends for friend safari dang it! Only battle I've had in this past hour was a full team of darkrai that rage quit when i swept his team.

That's because people are always in the middle of a trade or battle. I hope GF allows you to reconnect with the person who wanted to trade or battle with you. If you want battles, just Check someone who wants to battle

Jaysfinest1 June 29th, 2014 12:41 AM

you looking for a friend? let me know fc is in sig

And even then people decline my offers... If random matchup just would let you choose a full team instead of only 3...

Just because some people are online that doesn't mean they're available for battles/trades. A lot of people decline my requests but I've declined many requests too. If you want to battle you can always go here http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=305545 or on the Battle Spot. (But Free Battles are 3v3) :) I actually enjoy Battle Spot cause the battles are short and fun.

A lot of people are just too preoccupied with breeding, raising or clearing the game and/or Pokedex.

A little trick to getting more battles with people on either your Friends/Acquaintances list is to just select Battle from the menu and wait for someone to pick up on your challenge. It works for me, though I do get the occasional battler that won't ever let me battle anyone else >.>

Nah June 29th, 2014 7:58 PM

I'd suggest posting in here or here. Battle Spot is also something you'll wanna take a look at.

Hank Weidman June 29th, 2014 8:30 PM

I for one enjoy online, maybes thats just me haha

Regards, Hank

This. I often have nothing but a Fly user (currently a Flame Body Fletchinder) and, sometimes, a friendliness evolver walking around with me, and the other slots are reserved for Eggs. As my Eggs slots fill up, I periodically head into the daycare and drop the earliest ones in the PC in order, then when I have a full box, I head to Centrico Plaza to hatch them. I then fly to Kiloude and visit the rater. After Wonder Trades, I occasionally get a follow-up trade request (I trade good stuff, sometimes people want more), but I sometimes get a battle request. I just carry on with what I'm doing and it cancels itself.

If I'm online, I'm usually there for trading or to register people as being online for Safari purposes. I'm not a battler, I don't raise competitive Pokemon, so for me, online battling's not really fun - I decline most people. I've thought about turning off requests for Passerbys and Acquaintances, but I've had fun trading with strangers and stuff so I'm hesitant to do that.

Most annoying to me was that my profile said for a long time "No battles plz" and I still got tons of battle requests! I ended up changing it because it apparently did nothing.

Editing to add that if you're looking for Friend Safaris, you should check around this forum or on Reddit. It's a good way to find the types you're looking for!

Juxapose June 30th, 2014 7:24 PM

I am always looking for a good battle. Sadly, all I get spammed is with trade requests. PM me if you want to add me as friends so we can get our battle on.

Hiatus July 1st, 2014 1:13 PM

I usually don't have much trouble trying to find battles online; whenever I get into wi-fi and search, I run into one instantaneously, almost. I suppose I'm just lucky, haha. Trading is even more easier to get done.

Wonder Trade is either the best thing on the planet or a "why the hell would I give you something nice this way" pithole.

I choose to look at it as "I'm breeding anyway, some of you will have nice things for me, and some of you are just starting your games anyway and don't have much, so this will help".

We'll hope there aren't people constantly taking advantage of the great stuff coming through by routinely catching Pidgey on Route 2 and doing nothing else until they WT in a good team.

Blueboi22 July 1st, 2014 2:51 PM

Don't feel bad, I get declined for battles all the time (I also turn down everyone who tries to trade with me)

I don't have anything of value to trade but feel free to add me if you're lookin for a battle.

Major Logan July 1st, 2014 3:30 PM

I'm always looking for a battle online while I'm not breeding but most people only want to trade. When I do find a battle, most of the time it's against an army of legendaries or a bad player. I'll run into a competitive player every now and then..

Belldandy July 1st, 2014 4:29 PM

I stay online because I want people to get me O-Powers lol! I don't battle. Ever. People try, and I reject. I reject random trades, too, and have it set so only friends can send me requests.

I also like seeing who's online so I can give them O-Powers and send them "Bravos."

SnowpointQuincy July 13th, 2014 10:28 AM

I Never Trade without setting up the terms on PokeCommunity.

I do most my battles on Battle Spot. I love 3v3 singles, 4v4 Doubles.

I battle people using my Battle Box if asked, which has a selection of awesome pokemon.

Mega Venusaur July 13th, 2014 10:33 AM

Most people don't want to be bothered whilst they're hunting for shinies or breeding Pokémon or scamming people. However, don't worry about it, The PokéCommunity is a community filled with people willing to battle you and become your friend! :)

GhastlyClare July 15th, 2014 12:25 PM

Well, the first thing I did after getting X was going online... So obviously, I rejected every battle offer, my party consisting of level 20 braixen and pidgeotto. Actually it really bothered me because every time I was online people would send me battle requests and my team was so underpowered I knew I would stand no chance had I accepted. I just beat the champion today so maybe I'll start battling now.

pokemonbeauty July 15th, 2014 4:18 PM

I have only got 1 battle request ever, and I declined it, LOL. Then when I wanted to battle, I put my message up as "Let's Battle" and no one ever challenged me. I like Wondertrade and the GTS the most, but unless you meet people on here, online isn't that fun :P

XtinaIsMeLuvinWWE August 5th, 2014 8:39 AM

I used to decline battles usually because I had a bunch of low-level pokés in my team that I was training up to evolve BUT then I discovered the Battle Box in the PC, and now I accept everybody :) I feel terrible cause I'm so bad lol (which is why I'm hesitant to initiate a challenge in case the person thinks I'm good and gets disappointed) BUT... recently I was battling someone and was getting severely beaten until outta nowhere... I WON MY FIRST AND ONLY EVER BATTLE!!!! :D Since then I've been bitten by the Battling bug lol :)

Alfieri August 5th, 2014 8:40 AM

What I hate is when people request me for a battle but I don't have my team with items ready (they're stuck in the PC) and then by the time I get my team out, the request has ended. >____>

And that's why you should use the Battle Box, so that you can accept the challenge anytime you want.

I haven't been playing for a couple of months now and the last time I battled someone was probably way before that. On the other hand I'm someone who doesn't like to challenge others (I'd rather get challenged by them xD) and since my router recently started making problems by spontaneously cutting the internet connection for 2-3 minutes I fear that at some point I start getting dcs because of that, which would lessen the fun quite a lot.

Howmander August 5th, 2014 9:46 AM

also keep in mind, I (as well as many other people) HAVE actually been online ready to trade or battle, but we're doing other stuff too (like random battles, super training, GTS, etc, etc) and we get scrolling messages saying so and so wants to trade or battle, but by the time we get out of whatever we are doing the option is no longer available.

I'll need to make use of that soon, myself.
