    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?
     
    Really? How? I've tried everywhere, and can't seem to find the option.
     
    What person are you talking to? To battle a friend or random wi-fi? The random wi-fi person is the one on the far right, and you can pick from different battle types that you want to play.
     
    Yeah, but this is only for random battles, and it still only allows 3v3.

    I want the online battling we're used to from Diamond/Pearl/Platinum - level 100, 6v6. I've spoke to everyone, and changed every option, but it doesn't seem like it's there :/
     
    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.
     
    Yeah, what you said does happen. But not one of these options actually gives you a 6v6 match. And I don't want a random battle. I want a normal wi-fi battle, with someone whose friend code I've registered.
     
    Have any of you guys actually tried doing this though? It still takes you to a 3v3 level 50 battle, no matter who you speak to.
     
    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.
     
    guys stop panicing lol iv been playing wifi battles on black and white since i got my hands on the jap. rom just add a fc and talk to the middle person THIER IS NOTHING DIFFERENT what you guys are talking about is the random battles that are 3 on 3

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