One other thing, I remember on PO they had a Battle Factory thing, with a premade team of a few pokemon in a certain tier, and the opponent was in the same tier. Will that be implemented in Showdown, ever?
 
With the release of the Pokebank being pushed back indefinitely, why has the XY OU reset my ranking and allow post-Pokebank Pokemon? I was surprised to find myself battling Heatran, Sceptile and Mew this morning (and subsequently getting slaughtered lol)
 
because pokebank was up for a while allowing people to transfer pokemon to their games for a short while (someone i know has an arceus and suicune etc)

Don't think the production of anything like this is in progress, sorry

So do we know that the XY OU tier is definitely post-Pokebank, and whether it will stay that way now that the actual Pokebank is unavailable?
 
there really isnt much interaction if any between the two simulators, although there are lots of people who are ranked users in both. everyone's got one of their preference though
 
How can I watch/trace a battle of a certain user? (For example, I'd like to spectate the battles of a top rank ladderer, it's very hard to search manually in the battle list)
 
Any idea what affects the extent to which rank goes up and down? I usually get really miniscule (single-double digits) boosts when winning and huge (-200-300) ones when losing.
 
What rating do you have to be to participate in suspect tests?I would like to know because I want to be known when it comes to banning stuff.
 
It's usually 2000+ with a deviation under 50. Sometimes there are win-loss ratio requirements. Do note that a fresh alt would be required, i.e. you can't 'prepare' a rank right now in order to vote.
Showdown is not responsible for the coming up with requirements tho. Might be a better idea to ask in the tier's simple Q&A thread next time.
 
Could somebody explain to me what "rating inflation" is in regard to the PS ladder? I've been around 2800 lately which I thought was really good, but the team I've been using is fairly mediocre, as am I as a battler. Somebody mentioned this "inflation" in a thread and I'm curious as to how it works.
 
Browser, theres no app for showdown currently, nor do i ever think there will be, depending on your phone the browser experience may not be very good, its not good on my phone:/
 
Well, battling on my phone is fine, but you can't chat. I don't chat much, but I feel sleazy not saying at least gg. However, team building is a huuuge chore. Anyway, I saw a "get the iPhone app" button and got over-excited. It was an ad. XD
 
On PS!, when I reload the page, it closes out all my battles except for one. This is really annoying because I often have to refresh the page because my internet dc's whenever I get a phone call. Is there any way to implement that all battles stay open when refreshing/reloading the page? Or could this just be a browser problem? (using Google Chrome)
 
Don't reload it. Instead, load another tab of PS. Then click on your name and you will see the battle rooms you are in, so you can easily join them.
 
Okay, yesterday, I was doing fine and I wasn't locked from talking or anything, nor have I said or done anything worth locking over, but today when I woke up and opened my laptop as usual and got on Showdown, I realized I'm locked.

What the fuck?

Username on showdown is sweetxdevil and sweetxdevil357.

You could be using a public IP? Does anyone else use your IP that could have caused trouble? All punishments are on the IP, so something probably went on from someone else also using your IP.
