Netbattle is a Pokemon Battle simulator that allows one to battle over the internet wihtout having to look for people with link cables, and without having to play the entire game to get pokes at level 100. One can make their team with full IVs, full EVs, and no limitations on TMs. It's like Pokemon, but with the ideal settings, in that you can customise your poke's stats to realistic levels with teh same limitaitons as the game.
Oh yeah, for those who do play NetBattle at the Smogon room, type the following tags when you get in:
/cloak = hides your team from other players (if using an Uber, people will be informed of that, but won't know which one);
/dtohko off = players whose pokes have Double Team or any OHKO move (Fissure, Horn Drill, Guillotine, and Sheer Cold) will not be able to challenge you;
/ubers off = people who are using Ubers cannot challenge you.

Folks, Id like to sing a song about the American Dream
About me, about you
About the way our American hearts beat way down in the bottom of our chests
About that special feeling we get in the cockles of our hearts
Maybe below the cockles,
Maybe in the sub cockle area,
Maybe in the liver, maybe in the kidneys,
Maybe even in the colon, we dont know

Im just a regular Joe, with a regular job
Im your average white, suburbanite slob
I like football and porno and books about war
I got an average house, with a nice hardwood floor
My wife and my job, my kids and my car
My feet on my table, and a Cuban cigar

But sometimes that just aint enough to keep a man like me interested
(oh no, no way, uh uh)
No I gotta go out and have fun at someone elses expense
(woah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah)
I drive really slow in the ultra fast lane
While people behind me are going insane

Im an asshole (hes an asshole)
Im an asshole (hes an asshole, such an asshole)

I use public toilets and I piss on the seat
I walk around in the summer time saying "how about this heat?"

Im an asshole (hes an asshole)
Im an asshole (hes the worlds biggest asshole)

Sometimes I park in handicapped spaces
While handicapped people make handicapped faces

Im an asshole (hes an asshole)
Im an asshole (hes a real fucking asshole)

Maybe I shouldnt be singing this song
Ranting and raving and carrying on
Maybe theyre right when they tell me Im wrong
Nah

Im an asshole (hes an asshole)
Im an asshole (hes the worlds biggest asshole)

You know what Im gonna do
Im gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac Eldorado convertible
Hot pink, with whale skin hubcaps
And all leather cow interior
And make brown baby seal eyes for head lights (yeah)
And Im gonna drive in that baby at 115 miles per hour
Gettin' 1 mile per gallon,
Sucking down Quarter Pounder cheeseburgers from McDonalds
In the old fashioned non-biodegradable styrofoam containers
And when Im done sucking down those greeseball burgers
Im gonna wipe my mouth with the American flag
And then Im gonna toss the styrofoam containers right out the side
And there aint a goddamn thing anybody can do about it
You know why, because weve got the bombs, thats why
2 words, nuclear fucking weapons, OK?
Russia, Germany, Romania, they can have all the democracy they want
They can have a big democracy cakewalk
Right through the middle of Tiananmen Square
and it wont make a lick of difference
Because weve got the bombs, OK?
John Wayne's not dead, hes frozen, and as soon as we find a cure for cancer
Were gonna thaw out the duke and hes gonna be pretty pissed off
You know why,
Have you ever taken a cold shower, well multiply that by 15 million times
Thats how pissed off the dukes gonna be!
I'm gonna get the Duke, and John Cassavetes,
and Lee Marvin, and Sam Peckinpah, and a case of whiskey,
and drive down to Texas and say.....

(Hey! You know, you really are an asshole!)
Why don't you just shut up and sing the song, pal?
Im an asshole (hes an asshole)
Im an asshole (hes the worlds biggest asshole)

A-S-S-H-O-L-E
Everybody
A-S-S-H-O-L-E

Im an asshole and Im proud of it

Holeass.

I just watched the Randy Cotour Vs Tim Sylvia match for the UFC

And it has to be the best fight i have ever seen, i guess it was miainly because i was routing for Randy so bad!!!

But none the less ive never been so excited during a MMA fight ever.

I don't know what it is about Nine Inch Nails' "A Warm Place", but every time I hear it, I get goosebumps.

Where can I find this, 'abbot'?

Er, 'NetBattle'?

Tgrant = <3.


TGRANT!

AHHHHHHH.

Marist basketball is so frustrating.

How is the collection going? How many you got so far?

Hey people's another new update on my reptile-WIP click the link in my sig to check it out.

Its Sunday night and theres nothing to dooooooooooo.

I just tried that net battle thing and about 90% of the people on there all have legendary pokemon and JUST legendary pokemon in their teams. Noobs.

That's not how Pokemon should be played.

Actually,There playing to win. If i could go on there somehow,I would use the biggest and best so i could win easily just like i use the best characters in MKA. I mean honestly why not?

I say you do exactly what there doing and beat them at there own game.

Just my 2 cents.

Actually they're being cheap. A team consisting of Lugia, Mewtwo, Articuno, Zapdos, Kyogre, or anything like that is nearly impossible to have. I'll put it into a way you can better understand. It would be like fighting against the cheapest KAK and only being able to pick low tier characters. They're playing that way to win and they do win, and the way they win is not fun, or fair. It's exactly that kind of mentality that makes netbattle completely useless. It's too easy to win with those legendary Pokemon. There's no skill involved and there's no honor behind it.

Not that netbattle is actually working for me or anything. God forbid it would work. I've only been trying to download it successfully for months. Now that I've accomplished that I suppose it'll take me another four months to get it to work.

I am going to post a song by Bayside dedicated to John 'Beatz' Holohan.

This song is known as Winter And It could be found on My Myspace...


"Winter"

When Winter falls
Next year, I'll be holding on
To anything nailed down
As for being patient, with fate and all, it's getting old.
And my mind is slowly changing
I'm calling all my oldest friends,
Saying "sorry for this mess we're in,"
And I'm waiting, waiting
For the Sun to come and melt this snow,
wash away the pain, and give me back control, control.

An angel got his wings,
And we'll hold our heads up knowing that he's fine.
We'd all be lucky to have a love like that in a lifetime.

Should we still set his plate?
Should we still save his chair?
Should we still buy him gifts?
And if we don't, did we not care?
It makes you think about the life you've led,
Shit you've done, things you've said.
And it's grounding, grounding.
I've been feeling three feet tall this month,
hardly indestructible.
But the snow melts, and the rhythm still goes on.

An angel got his wings,
And we'll hold our heads up knowing that he's fine.
We'd all be lucky to have a love like that in a lifetime.

Friends stay side by side,
In life and death you've always stole my heart,
You'll always mean so much to me, it's hard to believe this

These nights in vans,
These nights in bars,
Don't mean a thing with empty hearts, with empty hearts.

An angel got his wings,
And we'll hold our heads up knowing that he's fine.
We'd all be lucky to have a love like that in a lifetime.

Friends stay side by side,
In life and death you've always stole my heart,
You've always meant so much to me, it's hard to believe
So much to me, it's hard to believe
So much to me, it's hard to believe this.

You're wrong. There is no honor in using "special" pokemon. It's not playing the game fairly. I even told them that they should use regular pokemon instead of legendary this way it would be more skill and a lot more fun. People sap the fun out of games way too much.

Exactly. The only thing that matters to those people is that their number of wins exceeds their number of losses. KARATE it's just like people like SP1C or BLACKBOY or any of the other pullers/quitters/cheaters on the PS2 server.

I know you said you use the best characters in MKA, but let me put it like this...

Ubers (Mewtwo, Lugia, Grouden etc.) are like Moloch, Blaze and Onaga. There is not much skill, nor honour in using them.

Then there are standards (Milotic, Metagross, Jolteon etc.) who are like the most commonly seen guys in MKA (Scorpion, Sareena etc.). There is honour in winning with them, and they are not cheap. They are powerful, but not overpowered.

Then there are the NU pokemon (Corsola, Wigglytuff etc.) who are like Shang Tsung or Kai - basically the worst characters who you feel really good about winning with because they are pretty useless. They are very weak.

The UU and BL Pokemon (Dodrio, Solrock, Gligar etc.) are the others, who are not overly crappy, but not overly awesome either. These could compare to, say, Sheeva, Jade and Sektor in MKA.

Do you (kinda) get it?

Anywayz, I am on Netbattle as "Psy-Kick" at the moment with my mono psychic team. They are fun to use...

Ugh why the hell won't this damn NetBattle work for me?! Grr!

=/

Not sure whats up with it.

Open it up, then go to "Start Battling", then a list should come up. Click on the top one in that list.

If there is an error, it might be because your username is already taken, so maybe just change it.

If it says you have been disconnected, with me I just exit, disconnect from the net, reconnect and then log back in and it is all sweet.

Not sure what else it could be.

I have provided these for anyone who can think of what could be the problem. This happens to me in order.

Problem #1

Problem #2

Problem #3

Problem #4

I am not really sure about it, but when I asked around they said that your IP could have possibly been banned. Not sure how that happened, but that is the only reason you would get disconnected straight away apparently. Maybe tgrant would know more though.

Trish, the server will be down if you're getting disconnected. I've rarely seen that happen though.
Gemini and the rest, use the /ubers off command to prevent people with legends challenging you. Also, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Suicune, Entei and Raikou are not legends and are allowed in standard play. As are Celebi and Jirachi. Of the above, Entei, Moltres and Articuno will be rarely seen as they're Borderline.

Unlike MK where youeveryone still has a chance, this is not the case with Pokemon given the stat layouts and differing movepools. One of the legends, Deoxys-FR could wipe out an entire team of standard Pokemon by itself with one hit. No MK character can kill you in one hit. Legends are banned for a reason. If they are being used, the opponent is supposed to ask you if you'd like to face them first.
Also, if you're being challenged, the challenege window will tell you how many ubers a person is using. refuse them if they have any.
Or may an uber team and battle them. I have one but it's not the best.

Thanks! Still waiting on that apology!
I still can't believe everyone is after NB lol!

I just got on the scale and realized I had gained twenty pounds since three months ago. I have made a promise to myself to lose the weight I have gained and more, to get a really good job to support myself, write music seriously, and get back to school soon.

I just hope I can keep that promise.
