Smogon Simple Questions & Suggestions Thread

[Estronic]

I've had some trouble with logging into my account. I was able to log into the Forum, but my teams didn't transfer over and neither did my score. I am logging in on a different computer, which probably has something to do with it, but I can't figure it out.

Sounds like you’re referring to Pokemon Showdown! Teams aren’t saved into PS! itself, but rather on the computer you made it on. Therefore, you won’t have access to your teams on a computer you didn’t make them on. However, you can send the imports of your teams from one computer to the next to have access to them on a different computer.

I got a new computer recently and I'm having problems lately on SD

I can't have battles and chatrooms showing at the same time fsr; only one or the other

It was already like that when I took the screenshots :pensive:

Is this the browser version or the application version? I know that it does this on mobile devices, so maybe it could be something with the type of the computer you have?

maybe try zooming out or adjusting your screen resolution?

TY this actually worked. Turns out I was at 110% zoom instead of 100.

Fake out failed and i have no clue why

If you want to skip ahead its the last tyrn of the game, i switched in lopunny to fakeout and beat my opponent, but it failed, for absolutly no reason. What happened?

Wasn't sure where to put this, so I'll just mention it here.

Ghost is said to not resist Bug on the RBY Type chart when it does resist it. Could someone who can edit that page jump on that when they get a free second, cheers!

This is the thread for correcting Smogon analyses. You might want to post your correction there.

Let's say I want to discuss the competitive meta/potential of a non core-series Pokemon game (it's Conquest btw). What's the best subforum to do this? OI would be my first guess but they do explicitly disallow discussion of "competitive play against other humans," which is exactly what I want to talk about.

Hello!
I'm very fond of gen past gens Ubers and I am a bit saddened that they aren't a valid format for random matchmaking.
Is there really no way - except for tournaments (which I find also quite rare) and challenges - to bring back past gens Ubers, just like we can still do gen 1-6 OU matches?

Thanks!

You can actually play others in nearly every past gen metagame, but it's not available on the ladder. It's only available when you directly challenge someone to a battle.

Yes I know that : ) . But couldn't they be put back into the ladder? I am sure many players would be pleased!

they're challenge only because there's low demand for them, so it's likely that won't happen

Oh I see :/ . Still, whenever there's a past-gen Ubers tournament, it quickly gets filled. So people do enjoy these formats I think.

I have a question that I was going to ask in the OU Q&A, but it's for simple questions; if I feel my question is not that simple, where should I ask it?

Is there any place on the forums where I could post my personal fakemon region project? I would like to share it with the community here and get feedback but am not sure where the proper place to post it would be.

It looks like Fake Out was bugged over the weekend, it is probably now fixed with the last server update. If not, this is the thread to post PS bug reports. www.smogon.com/forums/threads/bug-reports-v3-0-read-op-before-posting.3634749/

That thread would still tentatively be the place to ask, if it truly is too complex a question a mod there will let you know. Just be sure it isn't about Zygarde's recent suspect!

If you just have designs and stuff, I think this is the thread. https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/fakemon-central.3565414/ If you have an actual realized project you are working on with maps and stuff, then a thread of your own is probably warranted, just make sure to take a gander at the rules before posting a thread!

No, we do not offer self deletion. If you want your account deleted you can send me a PM

 

[HoeenHero]

Its fixed yeah, let us know if theres issues in any new battles though!

Why do some user profiles, like this one, not display all of the user's posts?

 

[Yoshi]

Why do some user profiles, like this one, not display all of the user's posts?

Because some of them may be in a private forum, or perhaps a thread that got moved to a private forum.

 

[Estronic]

Why do some user profiles, like this one, not display all of the user's posts?

Probably because it's so old.
edit: ninja'd but that also could be plausible
