Disconnecting in Global Link matches

I guess that's one way, but there are over a million people registered to the GL; the chances of encountering the same person in another play session is pretty unlikely.

And its because of that you really can't "get the rage-quitter back".
 
Only if it was a auto lose to the person who disconnect... I was D/Ced three times in a row the other day. There has to be some way they can fix the problem.
 
I've run into a funny disconnector. He/she was a Japanese player who had a phrase that was something like this (not exactly): "You'll use CRITICAL HIT as I use EASY WIN, won't you?" Sure enough, I actually get a critical hit on one of his Pokemon, and the opponent promptly disconnected.
 
I tried forfeiting a bunch of single battles to see if the server would acknowledge me, as that is the only way for someone who gets matched against a bunch of D/Cr's to finish battles. But no luck. I did have a few matches with Hasoe79 though, he got some wins in.
 
Usually when I win using 133k's Bidoof, the other person doesn't D/C, probably because they think I'm cool for using Bidoof competitively.

I think I ran into that person too. It may have been someone else, but I remember that their Greeting had to do with Crits and Winning.

And Actually, I never lost when I brought that Bidoof into battle (although I did get a few D/C's.)

I ran into a Japanese person whose greeting was, "Isn't SISTER just USELESS?" Or something along the lines of that.
 
Ugh...I just had a battle with a Japanese person, and after 30+ turns of stalling, it came down to my Gliscor and her Tyranitar.

Gliscor used Protect!
The foes Tyranitar used Ice Beam!
But Gliscor protected itself!
Disconnect.

What a b*tch, I was so close to getting 200 wins and 3 stars...and she had 4xx wins...

I assume you're in free mode, and not rating?

Free mode seems to have many fewer D/Cers than rating mode, in my case anyways.

Confirming. I haven't scored a single win in rated because of a string of DCers. It's also harder to find a match, takes far longer, on that ladder. On unrated, you get lots of people from japan with like 1500 wins, so you know they've likely DC'd 2 times as much but whatever. More people are willing to swallow the loss in unrated.

You must have better luck than I do. I always come across "noobs" with 5 Pokemon in their party, and don't even have items. One-two-three step match, and they're done, but not before they disconnect. The Japanese have waaay better sportsmanship than Americans. Most Americans don't even have a decent team on Wi-Fi!
 
I've finally hit 1800 in singles and doubles and have given up at this point. Everyone else near my rating DCs before they lose. I'm forced to beat 1400 people and pray they don't DC just to gain 2 points per win. It's at a point where EVERYONE will DC now. There's nothing competitive about it.

It's not about nationality, every place has sore losers and this has brought out the worst.

I'm amazed Game Freak even released it like this. It needs to punish DCers. If you can't stay online for more than 5 minutes then online gaming just isn't for you.

I haven't even broken 1600 for more than 5 matches, all because every time I win I get D/C'd on. I've decided to screw rating and just stick with free mode for now.
 
I am starting to think I might just switch to free mode as well.

I battled about 30 times this weekend on rating and everyone dc on me but two and one of those wins I had to beat the guy three times before he gave me the win. I was aspiring to be ranked 1 in the U.S. in triple battles but it feels impossible now that I am getting D/C'd on so badly.

In free mode there is much less D/Cing as well as much more creativity (I rarely see sand/rain teams in free mode; I've never seen a monotype team in Rating mode).

I agree. My Triples team gets D/C'ed on just about every battle; I barely made it to 25 wins.

I know it took me all last week to get 25 wins where as it should be around 50-70. This weekend was the worst for me though. Before people would D/C and a few would give you the wins, but not this weekend. Almost everyone just D/Cd. Heck I even changed to launcher battles and changed my team several times and nothing helped.
 
Just fought a hacker (Their Pokemon had names that were impossible to have in Random Matchup, like their Conkeldurr was named "ROOPUSHIN" when it would normally just be "Conkeldurr"), and I swept their team with Scarfchomp and they D/C'ed. People like that are sad.
 
If people disconnect at the win screen does your ranking not go anywhere? I've won twice now and that's happened both times and my ranking hasn't gone anywhere but it still says I have the wins.

That's a japanese person using ramaji, not a hacker. Even if they are a hacker, the pokemon have to be legal for online play, and you can't change names from your end.

There's even different names if you bump into french, or german players.

According to gamefreak, it's supposed to drop. By how many DCers are out there though, I'd say they haven't implemented it yet.

I knew about different languages for Random Matchup (I have ~250 total battles including all the D/C's, I've seen just about every language there), I just had no clue about Ramaji. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

I figured the Pokemon were Sav'd, and that the game thought the weird names that Sav would've given them were the real default names.
 
I've DC'd before. But thats because the game was talking shit. I didn't get one attack for 14 turns, because of either being infatuated or paralysed. I hated pokemon for exactly 10 seconds. It didn't take ten seconds to run away from my router.

But on a srs note, i only ever play free mode, and i have met and abundance of DC's. I don't even care anymore. I half expect it now. I guess on rating, you would care cause your trying to climb a ladder.
