NSM's Pokemon Battles/Tournaments!

[Shadoninja]

So, smogon switched the default battle simulator to Pokemon Showdown. Because it's still in beta, there are tons of things they need to fix, but the only real advantages in switching from PO are the lack of a download, forfeits if the other person is taking too long, battle animations, and listed stat boosts. Other than that, it's a bit glitchy and has a temporarily broken ladder system (or at least the last time I checked.)

It definitely has potential (might be quoting shadoninja here, not sure), but I'm still not entirely sure why it's smogon's main battle simulator when it's still in beta.

"We are pleased to announce that Smogon is adopting Pokemon Showdown! as one of our official simulators. Pokemon Showdown! is a web-based simulator that requires no downloads and is currently fully up-to-date with Black 2 and White 2 changes. Support for previous generations and for modes of battling other than singles are coming soon, and eventually we will use Pokemon Showdown! as our sole supported simulator. Please give it a try here; remember that while our simulator has changed, our rules haven't, and have a great time! ~Great Sage"

Dont forget potential abilities for enemies and being able to play it on anything that gets online.

Yeah, that Kanto one sounds rather interesting...

[FireArrow]

Yeah, that Kanto one sounds rather interesting...

If we're still having it, I'd love to join. (That is, if I can get around to building a team.)

[Shadoninja]

Are you still having the second tournament?

The monocolour tournament died due to lack of activity. We can start a new one if people want to.

Yeah, that Kanto one sounds rather interesting...

<-NSM Kanto Champion.
It is interesting to only use a certain gen of pokemans.

[Waddle Bro]

<-NSM Kanto Champion.

That's because I didn't participate.

[Clanker37]

That's because I didn't participate.

*Cough cough

I think we're due for another tournament!

[Waddle Bro]

Would they be able to have G5 Movesets, though, or only moves introduced in G1?

EDIT: Quote box fixed.
