Unless I'm being completely dense, it seems the only option for battling online is 3v3, levels set to 50 (or lower if they weren't 50 already), and you can see the opponent Pokemon.

From what I can tell, there is no option for standard 6v6 level 100.

IMO, this has completely destroyed the entire online battling system. What does everyone else think?

Weird. If you talk to the lady on the right at the back of a Pokemon Center, she'll ask you if you'd like to use Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, and a small list of things will appear. Random Matchup, Global Trade, Musical Photos, Battle Videos and Info. If you click Random Matchup, another small screen will appear with the options of Challenge or Info to pick from. If you pick Challenge, a list of battle types appear and you can pick from those. Single Battle, Double Battle, Triple Battle, Rotation Battle and Launcher Battle should come up for you to pick from.

I'll try a little test now, I'll edit this post later if I get the same as you.~

edit;

I've checked the rules and it states you can only pick three pokémon after the oppenent and you have seen each others pokémon...

So for single I guess you can't...

I really hope there's a way around this or it really sucks. Many pokemon can quite comfortably take out three pokemon and with your opponent only having three to choose from it's even less likely they'll have a counter...

Why? Just formulate a new strategy? Itll make you think more, thats it. It shouldnt be RUINED for you.
His opinion is his opinion, it's not your place to tell him whether or not it "should" be ruined for him. Maybe he doesn't enjoy other types of battles, or likes battling using a certain team that's tweaked for perfect 6v6 play. If you still want to battle, that's your opinion as well, just like he shouldn't tell you that you shouldn't battle because of the new parameters.

I personally think taking something like that out is just silly. Can you do it in the Union Room? I know you're talking about Wifi for long distance, but at least if you're near someone, that's something.

Obviously, you have no clue about what i said. I said it SHOULDNT be ruined for him. Before he decides to call something stupid he should try it more than a few times. I was never telling him about what decisions to make, just saying that it shouldnt ruin his pokemon battling experience. Maybe you too should think and interpret what people are saying before you reply. Thanks :)

I don't know where you guys are getting this 3v3 only from. You can change rules to allow for full, 6v6, normal battles.
Can someone (who has actually tried and proved it) please actually tell me how to do this then? Because I am seeing no options for 6v6.

Better yet, send me your FC and give me a 6v6 battle.

Sorry mate, I don't know what you're talking about, but that is not what happens when you talk to the middle person.

Oh god, you don't go to the woman in the middle, you go to the man on the right, it shouldn't be that hard because hes the only male out of the three.


I did actually check, this isn't any need to prove it as you can actually go on the game and check.

If you actually read the rules for the random wifi battles, it clearly states that once you've seen you and your opponents have seen each others team that you must use three pokémon.

If your so unsure > Go to the man on the far right and check the rules.



This could easily be different for the rated matched but we'll have to wait for the the GL site to open up.

This.

@ OP: Of course, it can render some pokemon useless, but there are some times where you have to cope with the situation. It's impossible to stick to one method of doing things your entire life, and it never hurts to try new things, am I wrong?

In other words....

Deal with it.

HOWEVER, some of the posters here say you can do 6v6 with the man to the far right. Try listening to them.
..........That is true......

I don't really mind the 3v3 limit but the level 50 scale is killing me. It renders most Pokemon that don't reach their full potential until level 100 useless.
If your Pokémon is above Lv. 50, it will bring it down to 50 for that battle.
