I believe it's a problem with socket.io.I've been trying to use Pokemon Showdown for a while now, but no matter which browser I use (I've tried Chrome, Firefox and even Internet Explorer), but I get disconnected 2 minutes into logging in. I try reconnecting, and it disconnects me again approximately 2 minutes in as well.
Even though it says that it's possibly the server restarting, I know this isn't the case. I've even tried updating and downgrading Flash (even though that clearly isn't the issue), clearing my cache, cookies, and all that jazz but to no avail. I don't know if I'm the only one having this problem or whether it's a bug or not, but any help would be appreciated.
Oh well, that's a bummer. I was expecting something along those lines. Just seemed weird that I'm one of the few having this issue. Thanks for the quick reply anyhow, I'll keep my eyes posted on here to see if this issue ends up getting fixed.I believe it's a problem with socket.io.
There's no known fix, but we've been looking into alternate connection methods for a while.
So while we do know about this issue, and we're looking into some possible solutions, I don't think a fix is going to be forthcoming very soon.
However, Petaya Berry and the other pinch berries are available in BW2 according to Serebii (and checking with Salac, Showdown believes that to be legal).Your team was rejected for the following reasons:
- Empoleon's item Petaya Berry is unreleased.
Simple Numel, by any chance?Flame Charge boosts Speed by two stages?
I'd personally like verification from a source that doesn't say that Liechi raises Defense and that Petaya raises Speed. But as soon as someone confirms, these berries will be made legal on both PO and PS.Attempting to join a battle I get this message:

If you can't choose a name, leave the name box empty when it asks you for a name. The game server currently can't connect to the login server so you are unable to pick names.I have the same problem, that I can't choose my name. But when I want to look for a battle, it says that I have to choose a name, which I can't. I don't know why can't battle as a guest, because all the other guests seem to have no problem in finding battles.
"If Drain Punch breaks a Substitute, no HP will be restored to the user."I drain punched a Substitute and didn't get any HP.

Melee Mewtwo: hum I didn't drain the sub's hp
Melee Mewtwo: strange
Guest 3029: it's a sub
Really? That actually looks like a Bulbapedia issue."If Drain Punch breaks a Substitute, no HP will be restored to the user."
Here is no problem with Drain Punch. You could first check it from bulbapedia, before posting "bugs".

This. Also, when I switched in Trace Porygon2 against an Intimidate Arcanine, Arcanine was Intimidated twice: once as my first pokemon switched out, and again as Porygon2 switched in.Um, I was just in a battle, and for some reason my Porygon2's trace didn't work right.It would copy the ability of the pokemon it was facing as it switched out, and would keep it when it came back in. Really strange.
