Aparently the Sould Dew has been released. This is good and bad. Latias now counters most members of rain teams but also means its extremely broken if your running a calm mind varient.
Latios is even more broken offensivly

@previous posts: Has PO been updated with the new stuff yet? I DIDN'T SEE AN UPDATE IS THIS SMOGON EXCLUSIVE? :(

And as for Latias/Latios they'll go back to uber imo.

Uhh idk I think you can still battle without the update and the only server you can do BW2 battles on atm if beta iirc, the pkmn will just show up as their regular sprites though, like torno-t will just look like tornado but still have torno-t stats and abilities.

Okay, I think this would be good news for all of you: Imposter Ditto is one of the Hidden Hollow Pokemon!

A lot of people (including me) were disappointed that Ditto didn't win the event DW poll, but Imposter Ditto is now available to us!

I don't know what to think of imposter ditto. It's a great revenge killer but I don't know if I like not being able to set up Pokemon like dragonite just to have this thing come in and sweep me. I mean it would be stupid to set up when you know your opponent has a ditto but still it effectively stops you from using one of your Pokemon to its full potential

how is that good news .-. its just more broken **** added to the metagame

techniloom might be underwhelming though, although it does have the potential to be extremely dangerous to both defensive and offensive teams alike

Yeah, I'm not really excited about ditto at all... Tbh, I'm not all that excited about a lot of the changes. It's a fresh change of pace I suppose, but a lot of things are going to be changing in regards to the competitive aspect of this game in the coming months.

I never wanted Ditto in the first place really. Having to have a check to all the Pokemon in your team, ugh. :(

I'd much rather have like, move tutors, then a few months later DW abilities are all released then it might be a bit easier to adjust to but now it's like everything idk so many changes.

I don't know if any of you saw but Multiscale Lugia/Regenerator Ho-oh are being released in that AR searcher game. Only relevant to Ubers players but interesting to say the least.

Imposter Ditto wasn't that much of a problem for me when I played in DW OU. It was full of Shadow Tag Chandelure, Technician Breloom, Prankster Liepard and mostly just the random Serperior, Sceptile etc. Although when I did run into one it wasn't that hard to take down. I probably just got lucky since I've heard that they can sweep entire teams, lmao.

just gonna tell everybody not to download PO v2 until PC's server has unless we're switching to PS because its apparently bad and has 2 separate registries, meaning servers equipped with PO v2 only show up to PO v2 users so you wont be able to see pc's server if you upgrade

I downloaded it into a separate folder for now, and it still has some pretty serious bugs to work out, so PC shouldn't update anytime soon.

First, the Therian formes appeared as [Normal][Normal] types for some reason, and take damage accordingly. Also, from what I played, Lum, pinch, and type effectiveness berries didn't work at all, so I'm inclined to believe none of the berries work. I was randomly disconnected from the PO server several times, and couldn't reconnect.

That's just what I got from yesterday, and I doubt they've been fixed yet. Stick with the previous versions of PO for now. >_<

What should we do with the server? Should we update to PO2, keep it the way it is, or convert to Pokémon Showdown? I would rather change to PS because it seems like a higher quality simulator, and I hear it's easier to make mods for it (i.e. create fake Pokémon).

I think we should move to Pokemon Showdown. I liked how they integrated the moving Pokemon sprites and some form of attack animation to make battles look more interesting to the eye. It also doesn't lag much.

PS is in a beta stage right now so it's REALLY laggy. I think that we should stay with po version 1.0.60 for now until pokemon showdown upgrades to a better version. The problem with PO version 2 is that most people haven't downloaded it as it is incompatible with older versions of po...

If we move to PS, then I might actually be more active here. From what I've used on PS, it is really quite good.

...the Challenge Cup is a lot better too.

Huh, I could've sworn that Showdown was working fine for me. I haven't bothered downloading the latest PO, so I'll stick with Showdown for now.

I kinda prefer PO because really, I'm terrible with remembering to visit/use websites, whereas I open/load programs out of habit. :x But I guess if we are moving to PS like it seems to be then I guess I'll put in extra effort. Though if they had a downloadable version in the future, then that would be amazing! But ya one thing though, are there separate servers on showdown? Since I only know of Smogon's and I don't see anything else there.

And can we choose name colours/have challenge messages?

Are you sure the lag isn't related the amount of users on the official server? Because it might not be as laggy on smaller servers.

I don't see you remembering to visit PO. :( And it's possible to make a private server. If I ask Petie to set up the programs and all needed to run a server, it would likely be accessed through this link. Also, one advantage to using PS is that it doesn't require a download. Some users are unable to download PO, so using PS instead would be more convenient.

Edit: The battling chat has now over 1,000 posts wooo.

Personally I reckon stay with PO (old version) until you can get a PS server up and running. It's a much cleaner and better simulator as well imo. Don't switch to PO2 yet, it's very buggy atm. If you want to stay with PO2 at least let them iron out some of the issues first.

Wait til you can get a PS server would be my choice. It's not like PO is really terrible to use.

Replace "Nelson Mandela" with Karpman.

Thnx regards.


Also po2 sucks. Stick to PO and just get 1.06 or we.
I wholeheartedly agree with the entirety of this post.
