You're just a quitter..
 
..you've been better since I came along.

^ Props to anyone who knows those lyrics.

Anyway, onto the topic of Wi-Fi battling. I've had two battles today from people over at the Gamefaqs board, both people quit the battle just before I was about to win.

Battle 1:

Spoiler:
Opponent was down to two Pokémon: A weakened Snorlax and badly poisoned Ambipom. I had three Pokémon left and had just brought out Heracross. Just as I went to, presumably, KO his Snorlax, he quits the game.


Battle 2:

Spoiler:
Opponent was in the lead to start with. His Metagross KOing my Togekiss. (managed to get a Yawn in, which turned the tide of the battle, really) I bring out Tyranitar and Dragon Dance. He hits me with an Earthquake before falling asleep. I perform another DD and then Earthquake it. He brings out Glaceon and KOs me with an Ice Beam and an item, presumably a berry, that allowed it to go first?

I bring out Glaceon, get a OHKO. He then brings out Drapion, who then gets 2HKO'd by Gengar. He follows up with his Gengar. My Gengar goes first and it's another OHKO. He's down to two Pokémon, I have four left, though Gengar is on it's last legs. He brings out Infernape. I hit a Hypnosis to put it to sleep. Immediately after, he quits.



So, my question is: Have you had a cowardly opponent quit just as you were about to win just to avoid a blotch on their trainer record? Or, have you actually quit a battle just to keep your win:lose ratio in tact?

And I'm just wondering if there's anything we can do about it. I was thinking of naming and shaming people, but that only works on members of this site, really. :\

But, really, it's annoying as hell and incredibly pathetic. I wish Nintendo would've given an automatic loss for the player that disconnects during battle. Sure, it's a little cruel on the people who legitimately get disconnected, but it'd prevent the cowards from doing the same.

And you worked that out, how? I was winning both battles before the other person quit. How does that make me bad at Pokémon?

dugtrio's diglet June 16th, 2007 11:50 AM

maybe they quit because they thought u cheated

Legacy June 16th, 2007 11:50 AM

You're not very smart, are you?

dugtrio's diglet June 16th, 2007 11:52 AM

your not very good at hiding your cheating... are you?

Legacy June 16th, 2007 11:54 AM

How did I cheat then? Come on then, genius, point out where I could have cheated from the battles I posted. I was cheating because I could kill a Glaceon and Gengar with one shot and a Drapion in two?

You know nothing, so shut up if you're just going to throw false accusations around.

Shift June 16th, 2007 11:56 AM

I bet he could beat you without cheating (not saying you did)dugtrio's diglett.

And yeah, I've ran away from some battles. But never on Wi-Fi I haven't even battled yet.

dugtrio's diglet June 16th, 2007 11:57 AM

What battles did you run away from if it wasn't on Wi-Fi? o_O

Read the first post, I was battling two people from the GameFaqs board, I wouldn't post that I beat them on a different board. My two wins on this board came against Hoshiko and diaoman yesterday. So get your facts straight please. Thanks.

I never once said I was good. In fact, read through some of my other posts and I repeatedly say that I'm quite inexperienced at online battling. Again, get your facts straight.

And, no, I don't wanna battle you. You make me cringe with embarrassment with how bad your grammar is. Please, stay in school. And I bet you're a cheat, given how you blindly accuse other people of cheating. Hiding something, perhaps?

lolololol... little scared?

Sammi June 16th, 2007 12:07 PM

Okay, break this fight up right now, or I will be forced to hand out some warnings.
Also, dugtrio's diglet, four words in each post. And I hardly count "lololol" as a word.

I apologise, Nayana. Sometimes idiots get me too riled up. I'll try to be more reserved in the future.

Faceless* June 16th, 2007 12:10 PM

what is this? a thread to argue about cheat battles? pointless

TwilightBlade June 16th, 2007 12:12 PM

Rofl, I ran away from my brother once... He was using hacked pokemon against me. He battled my friend and got owned though. 8D
I don't battle any random people unless they're my friends and we're just playing around. So nah, I've never had any run from me before. I don't think it's cowardly... It's just a game. Go find someone else to play with. :S

Deal... once i figure out wat error 52100 means so i can get online...

and i won't run away... n u shouldnt either

Psi Yamaneko June 16th, 2007 12:22 PM

I've quit one battle by accident but on the forum where we challenged eachother admitted defeat.

My win lose ratio at this point must be 0:5

Yeah, I suck at this game. I can put up a decent challenge though. Sometimes.

Randomly should a Palkia of equal level (with all stats over 200) be able to take down another Palkia in one shot with Dragon Pulse? I'm honestly not sure. Neither of the two Palkias in this challenge were raised by me but it seemed odd. Same adversary Palkia K0ed a Mewtwo in just two shots, mostly eradicating it in the first move.

Cyan Goggles June 16th, 2007 12:28 PM

Did you have voice chat on?
The second guy, it just sounded like maybe he needed to go, like he was going somewhere. Parents dragging him somewhere, or he had to go to a job, or something, ect, and if you didn't have voice chat on, he would have no way to tell you.
The first guy, however, yeah, I see your point.
However, I think it's fine the way it is, because, while there are cowards out there, there are way more peopl who just accidently get diconnected, or are pulled away by real life.

Edit- I thought of something. Maybe a better idea then putting one down for win, and the other for loss would be that the person who quits still doesn't have anything happen to his record, but you still record a win? I dunno, that just seems more fair for people who get kicked off their connection.

MetalMario June 16th, 2007 12:38 PM

I don't belive Legacy deserves any punishment for standing up to a troll.

On-topic: This kind of thing happened to me all the time in MKDS. I'd get half a lap ahead of beginners who don't know how to MT and they'd disconnect. I got to the point where I deliberately went easy on them (unless racing at least one other expert) just to keep them in the game. :D

I haven't battled anyone I didn't know in D/P yet, so this hasn't happened to me. I need to actually raise my competitive team before I challenge random players on chats. ;)

Inugami June 16th, 2007 12:42 PM

Oh Yeah. My friend kept turning it off when I was close to winning. He had a Kyogre on red while I still had a Milotic and Blissey. That got on my nerves

kingofgames157 June 16th, 2007 2:38 PM

Me and my freind battle that way


Its fun and a good way to practice lol


We often have lvl 1 fights but i use my cheep snorlax with Thick fat lol

He always manages to freeze me with his piplup though


On topic:


Maybe these guys ddint wanna ruin their records...

:)

Richard Lynch June 16th, 2007 2:56 PM

I never actually ran from a battle... three circumstances where I couldn't finish a game, though. Two times my internet cut out on me near the end (and a few others where the net cut out near the beginning), and one time I was in the middle of a battle where someone came over to help fix my car, and I had to leave. That one was awkward. :P

But if that ever happens, I just go by what looks like was gonna happen. If I was gonna lose, I count it as a loss on my record here. Through mutual agreement, of course.

Shift June 18th, 2007 2:36 PM

LOLz. Yeaup, just today I was battling Piplup Master (He was cussing during the entire battle)and he was beating me at the beginning and then I started coming back. And I had a red Alakazam and an Empoleon at barely above half HP and he had Leafeon at yellow and Honchkrow at full.
So then he used Giga Drain on my Empoleon which didn't do much but put me in yellow.
And I KO'd his Glaceon with Shadow Ball from Alakazam. Then my Empoleon Ice Beam'd his Honchkrow bringing it to yellow. Then his Honchkrow's Night Slash KO'd Alakazam via Critical Hit. And got Drift in near red but not at red. So it was Empoleon and Honchkrow. I used Ice Beam (His friend said: He beat you man!) and KO'd it. And he turned the game off. :P

Roihu June 18th, 2007 2:58 PM

I disconnected a couple of times but it wasn't my fault (Although it was lucky it happened) because my internet connection sucks. Although it always ends me the trouble of whether I should disconnect or not. :D

Abyss June 18th, 2007 3:05 PM

I went to my Grandmothers yesterday... I faught some dude who said he was a new person to Diamond and Pearl.. And all he freakin' pokemon were 100. So heck yeah, I turned that sucker off, and since I did, I didn't get a connection after that. But My brother runs from me allll the tiiime.
