Welcome to 36 Already Approved: Battle Thread & Hangout. As the title suggests, this is a place to battle and discuss Pokémon.
If you're looking for a battle, we have multiple battling styles our regulars enjoy. Just click which battle style you're interested in below and feel free to quote any of the users in the quote list (if you have questions on how to do that, ask in the thread). If there are other battle styles not listed yet that you'd like to ask about, click the Battle Frontier link below and quote the users listed and maybe you can find an opponent to battle against.
But don't think you have to be looking for a battle to post. It's also a hangout.
Finally, if you would like to be added to any of the quotable lists, post in the thread saying which section(s) you want to be quoted for. If it's for gens other than gen 6, also say which gen(s).
So that's about it. Please be respectful and have fun.
Random selection battles (rsb) are where each trainer has a list of their battle ready pokemon and what they use is determined, in this case, by the dice roll post action.
So for example, say my list in gen 6 is...
Psy
Rouge
Sid
Mime
Yellow
Funis
In my case, 20 6-sided dice are rolled. First three numbers that correspond to a number in my lineup and skipping over a repeat number is the three I use in a singles battle.
So for example if 3, 3, 2, 2, 4, 6, 2, 3, 1, 6, 6, 1, 2, 4, 4, 4, 5, 3, 2, 2 is rolled, my team would be Sid, Rouge, and Mime.
If for example someone's list cointained 27 battle readies, you would roll 20 100-sided dice because it's the next highest die after 20-sided.
You have to use your pokemon as is in the lineup chosen. If you get two mega evolvers, you use both, but that means during the battle you'll have to make the decision who to mega evolve if any. You also must lead in with the first pokemon selected for you, but once the battle starts, you can obviously call it back and switch it for something else.

Named after the Battle Frontier which hosts fun gimmick battle, this is where to go when looking for a type of battle not listed elsewhere. Wanna try a type of battling that's not listed above? Maybe you want to try a monotype battle where all trainers must use pokémon of that type. Or perhaps you have a pokémon you're proud of and want to compare it against someone else's that's the same species in a one on one battle. Of course it's not limited to these examples, but the users here may just be up to trying a refreshing battle style...no guarentees though.

Here will be where battle videos will be added. You can view them by going online in your game, using the vs recorder, and searching their codes. For all battle styles other than multi, you will even be able to battle against either of the trainers in mock battles where the computer will play as them with the team they used. For an extra challenge use the same amount of pokémon the mock trainer uses (for example in a single battle of 3v3, only bring 3 pokémon with you) or in the case of rsb battles, use randomly selected pokémon for your team.
So if you have a battle video code you'd like added, post it in the thread.
