anyone know how I can modify the rules in PBR?

I was shocked to learn that Chimecho was pronounced as "chime echo" and not "chime cho."

I pronounced it "Chime-cho" for a very very very long time. It's a hard habit to break.

Chime-echo makes more sense though.

HtR-Laser

Illumise, though. That's the hard one for me. The announcer says "eelu-mee-say" but that can't be right.

Speed Racer

I pronounced it "Chim-ETCH-oh."

Now I pronounce it "Chime-cho" an dthat is not going to change.

Also I just picked up PBR so I'm gonna go fire it up and play it, feeling horrendously guilty about blowing $50 on it the entire time.

Nozz

Hey thanks for puttin' me on the list

I need to get a Wii and get Battle Revo. DS battles are alright but I need more!

You won't feel so bad when you get to battle me in "Glorious" 3-D.

Shujin Katana

whoa you actually ended up using my title, eh

AGH WHAT THE FUCK RIOLU BEATING MY COMBUSKEN ON THE LAST POKEMON OF THE RANDOM 12 RARARAR

fucking poison jab, he had like a sliver of life left

InvisibleInk

So I fought some random person online in PBR. (I won) We exchange Trainer Cards/Battle Passes, whatever. So I was looking at her Battle Pass, and I was very confused.
First of all the movesets are awful. The kind that 10 year olds use. I guess thats not confusing. 4 different fire attacks on Typhlosion for example.
Anyway, her Typhlosion is in a Premier Ball. Her Blastoise is in a Master Ball. So that means they're hacked in some way. But the the thing that confused me is that the Original Trainer info says "PKTOPIA" which is what it says for all rented pokemon in PBR. But all there Trainer ID #'s are different.
It confused me until I realised that the OT say poketopia, because it was a random battle and not a Battle with friendcodes.
I can't imagine hacking an entire team. And not giving them great stats and attacks. I mean why would you cheat when you don't even know how to play? And you don't even know how to cheat well!

Shujin Katana

they wanted you to feel good

Nozz

Is there any demand for an EV training guide? I've gotten it down to a T, especially training for speed. The guides written for pokemon are so badly written and usually contain so much misinformation that most of the guides are pretty worthless.

redfield85

I just got this yesterday and have yet to start playing. Once I get my friend code, I shall reveal it to all and you can try to defeat me. Mwahaha. (Yea right, I am so dead haha)

Nozz

What type of player are you, a battler or someone who wants to fully enjoy the single player game?

If you're just looking to get into the battling scene, I'd be happy to get you started with some ridiculous pokemon (at various levels) that would give you a jump start once you got the badges to control them, and maybe a few rare battle items.

redfield85

Oh, I have Diamond beat. I haven't played a lot in like a week or so. I have also yet to get into EV training mode and feel that if I don't do it that I will get my rear kicked. It is gonna be a pain getting a couple different mood dittos and what not. How do you all get teams together so fast?

Speed Racer

My PBR friendcode is 3136-3628-7648.

Who wants to battle me in astoundingly mediocre 3D?

RedMageDarion

Man.

Chingling is so cute in PBR.

EDIT: If you give me a minute, I'll fight you Mushy.

We really don't get it done all that fast.

Unless you're some kind of crazy person like Ashton, it takes at least a week to train up a team.

EDIT: Adding you to my friendlist now, RMD.

Jammers

Well guys, I'm nearly finished my Pokédex, after just over 300 hours of playtime. All I need now is Surskit, Stantler & Lunatone. I can breed you anything that's breedable if you can help me get these last few.
I also need to get pokédex data for the Legendary Dogs, Latias and the event Pokémon.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

RedMageDarion

I seem to be having connection issues, Mushy.

EDIT: Nevermind.

skeldare

Got PBR yesterday afternoon and have been playing off and on with RE4. Must say that this game looks awesome, better than the 2 GC Pokemon games. Single player kinda blows, especially since all the trainers seem to use similiar Pokemon. Online, though I've only played random, is nice when it works. Seems to randomly error out for me.

Oh, and I don't know if this has been posted but IGN has their review up.

jammers i have a stantler for you, but i'm in battle with ashton

we're kind if in a stand still right now, and it has the potential of continuing for a very long time, so i might be able to get it to you in a couple hours

Speed Racer

Don't tell me there's absolutely no way to do 6v6 online. I mean, I can sort of understand that for random battles, but why can't I fight my friends the way I want to fight them?

Surskit for a Shuckle?

You have to go into Free Battle, then choose one of the "Rule #" and change the rules.

That'll save them for future use.

The times I tried to invite you, I had it set up for 6v6.

Speed Racer

Yeah, but we got DC'd every time I tried to accept your invite. Anyway thanks for the heads up on how to change that.

Fuck IVs. Fuck breeding. I have a 1/19/25/31/31/29 Ralts that is going to waste away because it's HP is fucking shitty as hell.

Though after about 60 Ralts I "finally" got a 14 / 18 / 13 / 29 / 24 / 27 one I'm going to use. Still could be better but fuck it, don't want to see another fucking Ralts for the rest of my life.

I bred 100 Snorunts and I finally settled on one that had terrible special defense. Out of 100 eggs, there were only three that were even slightly useable. I chose the 73rd one.

Whoever thought IVs were a good idea... :x

Shujin Katana

have you guys been doing the breeding the best with the best or just kept pumping out eggs?

that shouldnt happen

"Slightly usable" is something that Snorunt and his evolutions are completely foreign to.

and that's why I refuse to even bother with IVs. It seems like it would completely suck all of the fun out of the game, and I really don't want to hate pokemon.

These have to be the second best I've ever seen outside of Ashton's Trapinch.

I should be picking up Battle Revolution tomorrow, assuming I can get the car for a little while. Honestly, I'm much more interested in the single player modes than the online stuff (I actually call the game "Pokemon Battle Factory Revolution". It's a revolution in Battle Factory), though I'm certainly going to have some random WiFi battles as well.

What was the Special Attack? I know it doesn't matter but I am just curious.

My magby had some pretty awesome IVs. Pretty close to those.
