Netbattle just got DPgraded!

I liked Netbattles style. The battles were more fun, and team building was more enjoyable (in my experience). Shoddy carries a ladder though, and of course I am not the kind to ever challenge anyone, which is terrible for people like me. If Shoddy got doubles then the only reason to use Netbattle (for me) would be the style, which I can survive without.
 
Oh God yes, I've been hoping for a DP doubles simulator for a long time. I know it's gonna be broken to hell until they fix everything up, but I at least wanna try out my Skill Swap team since I can rarely get a Wi-Fi battle. Too bad I can't get it to work on this stupid computer...
 
this actually frustrates me as I actually like ADV much more than DP; unfortunately now it is near impossible to get an ADV battle... I've been online for about an hour and have gotten one... last week I would get one every five minutes


bleh
 
First when I saw this I thougt: Atlast a D/P double battle simulator.

Its not just a double battle sim. It uses all forms of play(except certain stadium modes)INCLUDING RSE, GSC,and RBY. People keep forgetting that.

But the problem is that it does not work like PBR or D/P double battles. Dark Void is useless,

NEW=GLITCHES=MORE TIME NEEDED TO FIX=BETA TESTING

All use level 100 pokemon.

Yes?
If its that much of a problem, play in an rpg, host your own server, or put level balance on.

download 9.7 instead. just ADV and below, but easier to find those battles.
 
You do not understand what I meant, I hoped that with this we can play doubles like on PBR. With level 100 I meant that there is no chance to play max level 50 doubles. It's just that it doesn't simulate the D/P doubles(and most likely won't)
 
I loved NetBattle before I went on a Pokemon hiatus two-three years ago. The team builder was MUCH better than Shoddy, and Shoddy's approach of everything happening at once and you analyzing the text is more irritating.

If NetBattle sees enough support and usage, I would love to flock back to it. Shoddy sucks in my opinion, but until I get my Wifi team fully built to my liking, I'm stuck with it.

And Shoddy has no doubles, which truly sucks.

so, like i said, make a server saying "only lv 50 doubles" and if anyone goes to it, good job. I dont really see the difference between lv50 and lv100, its not really important. AND GIVE IT TIME, the glitches and bugs will be sorted. Its not going to be perfect straight away.

I agree, I think one of the primary things that should be done after fixing the glitches and platinum updates are adding PBR stadium style with lv.50 pokemon and choosing 4 pokemon instead of 3. Also, adding a showdown option would also be a very good idea, since most doubles players play by those rules for practice for Nintendo's official tournaments. The reason why I suggest these is that Netbattle has nothing over shoddy in the singles department, so the only reason for most people(imo) to use Netbattle over Shoddy is for double battles.

Lol? I don't know where you've been, but as I'm reading, the original NB was not built by these guys, they just built on the original NB to upgrade it D/P.

That being said, I enjoy netbattle style team building, it's a lot less of a headache, but there's still tons of bugs that I noticed while trying to play. I think I'll use it once they get the kinks worked out, right now I really prefer Shoddy.
 
Well, the typical Glalielujah, praise the Arceus and all that crap.

However, as one has never used Netbattle before, one can assume that it's going to be snubbed over Shoddy, sadly. However, one won't knock until he has tried it.

Whoever invented that thing clearly has tried to win the Valentine's internet.
 
Well, I gave it a try. This thing is a joke, and the silly part is, I was a huge supporter of the original. These guys are NOT team netbattle, nor are they related, nor or they even of baseline human intelligence.

Their response to the bugs: "get a better computer, [censored]"

Meteor64: for anything other than D/P you'd have to be an abject moron to use anything other than real netbattle.
 
tbh, i dont even like 4th gen. comp., and thus i wont be playing much of this, but i thought you guys would maybe be interested, with DP doubles, CC, etc.

who the hell said that?
if it were computer related bugs, then it makes sense, but otherwise, its probly just someone like Navy bein a prick.
 
Cresselia being uber is clearly stupid and, due to being new, this obviously carries a lot of bugs, but I must admit I sure am excited about a D/P NB. I've always been a fan of the easier-to-use, better-looking and faster-running format of NB over SB, and now it's finally updated. ^^ I'll definitely install this when I get home.
 
I've already tested it out after i read about it in the german boards and im suprised in a positive way

of course there are some bugs, but i dont think that things like azelf=normal take long to fix

the only problem i see is, that there's still the old (rby,gsc,386) game mechanik
(= you can "steal" turns of your opponent by sacrificing a pokemon to recoil/spikes/whatever)
 
New patch, turn on NBS and say yes to autoupdate to get it.

I wish someone mirror'd it, though...I can't autoupdate for reasons unknown.
 
I think I'll wait until some of the major bugs are fixed before diving in. But can somebody post screenshots of the DPNetbattle in action?

I mainly want to know if the old user interface is still intact (especially the chatbox). The Shoddy interface is pure unadulterated crap.

Why does anyone care though? No ladder, no cross platform compatibility, mechanics bugs still are around, competitor is actually in development again... I just don't see what all the jizz in pants is all about. I'd much prefer open source software anyway.

Probably you dont.. I do.. it may be bugged.. but I prefer CC, Doubles,etc.. over Shoddy.

aside from the fact that your misconception of them having created nb in the first place was already pointed out, what makes you think that users like "Pombo" speak for Smogon, let alone have said anything they've been able to actually take offense to in under 24 hours

As for the Cresselia ban...it shows these guys aren't in line with the old Netbattle work yet. I'm actually the one who took up the reins and has been using more formal design methods to maintain a metagame, though support has been admittedly smaller due to the NIH mentality Smogon has always had. Maybe we can get them in line with that; our Format 1 is just what your OU will be assuming designers with brains and another six to eight months time. I'm not sure if you'll ever do anything like our Format 2 or we'll have anything like where your UU will end up though, I think your design process is very flawed but your metagame should eventually evolve into something valid.

nih mentality? have you been living under a rock for the last seven months? we went out of our way to build a smogon shoddy server instead of just wait for competitor, and doug himself has spent countless hours making ladders, compiling stats for smogon, and actually working with code he doesn't like very much for the benefit of the community. to say we've always had a nih mentality is not only completely ignorant but an incredible insult to the efforts doug and many other staff members have put forth with shoddy.

and please, to say that support for whatever it is you're talking about is small because smogon has a nih mentality is kind of ridiculous—why should an established community support or even acknowledge an upstart without very good reason? that's exactly like when colin discussed the unbanishment of deoxys-s on his forum and felt this was representative of the competitive battling community

also i dont know who you mean when you say "our" but "we" dont know what format 1 and 2 are and we don't care, especially if you are going to assume people here know what you're talking about, let alone should even care given where you posted this. nb isn't relevant for competiitve DP pokemon right now and both smogon and nb staff realize that. why should anyone listen when "Kittymew" says our process is flawed? get off your soapbox, nobody even knows who you are
