Hi. I'm not sure if this has been asked yet, but will the save files for teams for Shoddy Battle 1 work with Shoddy Batlle 2? I don't want to have to remake my teams again. Also, will the leaderboard reset?

Yeah, from what I have heard, Shoddy Battle 1 team files will be compatible with Shoddy Battle 2.
 
You know if you keep asking for more content for Shoody Battle 2 the already currently unknown release date will get pushed back even farther.
 
The following idea came to me while using Smogon's own damage calculator. I was thinking, since the damage calculator is linked to the Strategy Pokédex, could the team builder in Shoddy Battle 2 also be linked to to the Strategy Pokédex? Obviously, I am not suggesting this for the initial release of SB2, but possibly in later releases.

I think this would greatly expedite the team building process. In terms of easiness and overall speed since the movesets and EV spreads from the analysis are so prevalent. Rather than fumbling through the Strategy Pokédex then the team builder for moves and EVs for a specific set, its completely automated, just like the damage calculator.

What do you guys think?
 
That idea sounds somewhat difficult because of the fact that shoddy battle and the Smogon site server are totally different programs. Otherwise some major programming changes would need to be made. But don't take my word for it- I'm not a programmer.
 
I'm not sure if this has been suggested yet but what about 4 player 'tag-team' shoddy battles?

They are like the ingame battles where you team up with another AI (such as that woman in the forest in DPPt) versus two other AI. However in Shoddy battle 2 having all players being real people.
 
I did a search and found a few posts in this topic about it, but I really want to emphasize that having a friends list would be incredibly useful. It'd also be nice if we were able to create and join our own channels if at all possible. The channel thing isn't as valuable as a friends list, though, so that takes priority.

Thanks for your consistent work on shoddy battle, it really is quite an awesome program. :)
 
Any chance that the Box function could be linked to the strategy Pokedex? Also being able to view a moves secondary effects in the team editor could be helpful.

I think i remember reading that this will be possible

Oh and becase it wasnt nswered yet and i love the idea, 6V6, 12 pkmn in play all at once, you have mentioned its possible, will this be implemented?
 
Forget all the extra CRAP...you can add that later. This will be Nintendos 4th year doing Pokemon Video Game Championships...Grand Prize(s) worth $15,000. All three years have been Double Battles, And the #1 Pokemon Battling website(IMHO) has not even started to address the entire strategy of Doubles, where pokemon like Empoleon Rule. Where moves like stealth Rock are Non existent, because switching is not as important....
Smogon Is falling way behind, scizor is a great pokemon! WHEN you're Playing singles, but in doubles he's not a real threat.
Considering that This is the offical Format of the WORLDS only real pokemon tournament (with amazing prizes) i wish someone would forget about the EXTRAS and just get the program running!

The Nintendo Tournament is over DS anyway, if you're impatient use WiFi. The extras aren't crucial, but the first release of SB2 needs to WORK without any glitches, and that stage hasnt been reached yet.
 
Would it be also possible to implement a sideboard function? It would help allow teams more flexibility and would save time for team building. (for example, if I created a team, and someone who rated the team said I should switch a certain pokemon with another, I could have that pokemon on the sideboard. Then when I want to actually use the pokemon, I could switch it with one that's on my actual team).

It already exists in the form of Boxes. Check your Shoddy Battle 1 team builder.

Smogon's primary aim has never been to compete at a high level in Nintendo metagames.

The new forms can't be used on Wifi without an AR. Also, he's saying that getting the program released is far more important than perfecting crap like 6v6 12 Pokemon out at one time, which doesn't even exist ingame.
 
Could we get the program with running with just doubles? Then you can add all the extras in later with updates. Doubles online is a function thats been anticipated by many people.
 
i agree that the extra stuff that are not ingame could be added later, just getting the program running with doubles would be awesome. people could start working on strategy and movesets for double battles now.
 
nothing super important, but it would be REALLY cool if we could copy and paste a set from somewhere, paste it in teambuilder, and then have it automatically set up the pokemon. so if the form was like this:

Darkrai @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Bad Dreams
EVs: 52 HP/204 Spd/252 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Dark Pulse
- Spacial Rend
- Thunder
- Focus Blast

you could just copy, and paste on teambuilder. pretty much reverse export to text. dunno how doable this is tho.

Right now it's not the "extra stuff" that's keeping it from being released. Colin previously commented that not everything is in the game yet (relative to moves, items, etc.).

I know that those things aren't programmed into it yet, I just meant of all the functions others are suggesting.
