Title: A Guide To Pokemon Netbattle.
chaosmage - November 14, 2006 02:18 AM (GMT)
NOTE:I'm assuming you understand the basics of the portable pokemon games. I will not tell you what a pokemon is, how battles work, or what moves do what.
Part 1:What is Netbattle
Netbattle is a pokemon battle simulator. It lets you pick your pokemon, their gender, their trait and nature, and modify their Ev's and Iv's! Then you can battle people online suing your team with the program. To dowload it, go here:
http://www.smogon.com/netbattle/download
Part 2:Making a team
Now after you download and install the program, its time to make your team. On the opening screen, select Team Builder, then click on pokemon 1. The screen should look like this:
See that box I circled under pokemon, click on the arrow next to it, and a list of every pokemon in the game will come down. Select the one you want and it will be added to your team. In the second box I circled, you get to pick the Item to give to that pokemon. Then pick the moves your pokemon will have, and adjust it's nickname(if any) and your done for this sceen on this screen.
Part 3:Expert Screen
You see that button labeled expert on the previous screen? Click on it, because it's time to adjust the more advanced options of your pokemon. First off lets look at the expert screen real quick:
Here you can adjust a pokemons Ev's, the type of it's hidden power attack(if you're using it,)It's gender, it's trait, and it's nature. I won't tell you what does what, because it's all clearly labeled. Once you set everything to what you want move on to the next pokemon and do the same. Make sure to save your team when your done.
Part 4:Adjusting your player info
On this screen, you can adjust the usernae you will be playing under, the sprites you will be using in battles, the message that pops up after you/win lose, and any personal info you might want to add. Once again, I won't tell yu what does what, since it should be easy to figure out considering I'm letting you see what I put in each area.
Part 5:Picking a server to play on
On this list you will see of all the servers you can play on. Pick 1(I reccomend smogon university, at least while your just starting.) Aftethat a screen will come up with everyone else on that server, a list of serven info, and a box that lets you chat with other members. Now you can wait until someone challenges you, or you can challenge someone yourelf. You can pick the rules for the match that way. After you/your opponent accept the challenge. Now it will play like a normal pokemon battle. Have fun.
If you have any more questions, pm me about it.

Well it took a while, but here's part 2 of my Guide to netbattle:
The advantages of prediction in Pokemon
For those of you who play yugioh, and most of you here do, the basic concept of predicition in a game should be simple. It's merely knowing what your opponent is going to better then they know what you are. This can be done by playing an obscure decktype, just plain knowing what the stadard build for their dectype is, and knowing the most common plays in the metagame. If you can outpredict your opponent you will almost always be the victor.
The same basic rules can be applied to pokemon as well. By knowing how a pokemon is most commonly used, you can make the best assumption on how to beat it. For example Lets say you start out your team with a Starmie, and your opponent starts off with a Salamence. Knowing that an Ice Beam would mean death to Salamence, and that Starmie is faster then it your opponent will most likely switch out, probably to a bulky water who can Brush off Ice Beam like it's nothing. Like Suicune, Milotic, or Ludicolo. However suppose you already thought of this, and instead of using Ice Beam you went with Thunderbolt, you'd be getting a super effective hit, well not on Ludicolo, but you'll still be doing as much with Ice Beam anyway. Of course your opponent may think of this as well and stay in to hit you hard with an Earthquake or Hidden Power Flying. How can you tell what they're doing then? Well in real life you may be able to tell by looking at your opponent face, but since netbatlle is online that's not an option, so you have to be more careful when making your decisions.
Lets take another scenario shall we? For example, lets propose You're using an Alakazam with Trick and Choice Band, or Focus Punch on Gengar. Knowing that these pokemon are almost always Special Sweepers, You're opponent switches into a Special Tank like Blissey or Snorlax who normally would hardly even feel they're attacks. However A Snorlax or Blissey with a Choice Band is hardly the threat they usually are. And both will take quite a bit of damage from a super effective Focus Punch.
Something important to remember about prediction though is that an unexpected Critical Hit can completely change the flow of a match. For example even if Suicune has full Health and has 3 calm minds, a critical hit from a Sceptiles Leaf Blade will still knock it out. Unfortunately Pokemon is somewhat of a luck based game, but that can be said for just about any game can't it?
To give a better example of how prediction can swing a match around, take this battle log I saved from netbattle:

Notice how even though I took quite a few hard hits in the match, I never lost a single pokemon. This is how prediction can change things. Well I hope this helps some of you. I hope to get a review of how to play and counter the standard metagame sometime in the near future.
