Beds :D

You should really be registering your alts already actually don't because I want to steal them, but registering them will likely solve your issues.

Thanks, registering the alt kinda solved the problem, since i actually can reconnect and use the name again now. Too bad that my rating is already too high now and my deviation doesn't even go down anymore, so i'm stuck in very high rated provisionals. But that's just the thing with the rating system i guess.
Also, i'm using different passwords on all my alts now (it's not ArcticblastSux, that was the old one)

Here is proof that it says Focus Punch is illegal http://prntscr.com/28tig8 and here is proof that Ttar can learn Focus Punch http://prntscr.com/28tikp and http://www.smogon.com/dp/pokemon/tyranitar


EDIT: I'm even stupider than I thought

make sure you're teambuilding in pokebank ou; it can't learn it in ou (beta) because it's exclusive to a tm from an earlier gen

Is it just me or are battle commands being received with a delay today? I was playing yesterday fine. Today there's huge lag.

Where could I get advice on team building? I've never built a seriously competitive team before, and would love to know where I can get the right guidance. :]

The Tutoring room can offer some excellent guidance. They can help you build your team by asking in the chat or PMing one of the room drivers. They're happy to help!

it says my infernape with iron fist is unreleased?

make sure you're playing pokebank and not (beta)

 

[F Amadon]

It's impossible to get Infernape in XY without using Pokebank to transfer. Try playing on Pokebank OU/Ubers (beta), not OU (beta)

Is there any way to change where logs and teams are saved/loaded from on startup?

 

[Mr. Munchlax]

Another one: is there someway where I can get the Black and White style Sixth Gen. sprites (in my saved photos or as an avatar)?

Is there a problem with the server? I got a message when logging in that either the server wasn't working or that I was banned. Also it wouldn't even connect as guest.

Quoting this because it's been a week already. Even though the original is just a few posts up.

 

[F Amadon]

No, Dry Paratroopa, but you can save your teams into a .txt and just import the team you want to use.

Is the main Pokemon Showdown sever still experiencing problems? If so, how severe exactly are they? It won't even let me log in/choose my name, and if it does, it takes a few minutes to pop up on my screen.

Yeah it's having issues, everyone is having that problem from time to time the past couple of days :/

 

[airslash]

Showdown's not letting me choose a name nor battle without a name. I'm new to the website, can anyone help?

I wonder if they're working on something, or if something just got messed up.

 

[UnicornDemon]

How does the ranking system work? How many points should you win per match?

I've won a couple hundred battles on showdown by now but I've also lost a couple hundred. I'm currently at around 1600 and getting like +3 per match, while meanwhile I'm battling guys with 1700-1800+ who have only won 30 matches. Why is that?

 

[F Amadon]

The server is having issues, stuff is broken, but don't worry, it's being worked on.

Try playing on one of the other servers.
