    Question: In ASB, can one battle themself? Just for fun? No EXP or points or ref or anything (maybe a ref) but can I say, pit two of my Pokemon against each other both under my control, and see how they fare?

    It's simple, if you want to challenge someone, you just put in "I challenge _____ (ref needed)", where the blank represents a specific person you really want to battle. You can also set up an open challenge, where you don't have to battle a specific person, instead, when you post, you just wait for someone to post to be your opponent.

    I'm just one person around here who's glad to help anytime you need it.

    You just have to be patient, one of the approvers (Chris 2.0, Hypotenuse Man, and The_Missing_Link) will get to the Approval Tower soon, and I'm 100% sure one of them will approve your team.

    Gym battles are set up in the same was as regular battles, though gym leaders can only have one Gym Battle at a time, so challenge carefully. Also, I would highly recommend against challenging any gym leader at this time, as your team is very immature, and you yourself don't have any battle experience.

    To keep track of your team, the easiest way to do it is by making, or hiring someone to make, a banner. River and Saffire Persian are the most sought-out, but Weasel Overlord is known to make some as well. If you don't mind boring sprite ones (like the one in mine or Mega Horny's signature), I could make one for you as well.

    Same way you added the other banner to your sig; just put in the vB code:

    Of course, remove the asterisks from the code.

    Refs come to you. If one doesn't post in your battle for a few days, you post in the reffing tower with a link to your battle. If one doesn't show up then, you're out of luck. ASB has been through a dry spell with refs for the past couple of years

    From now on, can you please PM one of the moderators or someone who has answered your previous questions? I would like to keep this thread focused on rule related questions. Most of the questions you asked can be found on the first page of this thread or in the tower threads, such as the reffing tower or approval tower.

    Helo, this is my second post on Pokemasters. In my first post, I posted my team of four in the Approval Tower and got approved/

    I've participated in the SPPf, Bulbagarden and UPN Leagues for ASB so I;m kinda get the drift here but since SPPF and UPN don't use Percentages and such,. I'm stilla bit confused.

    My first question: I notcied you have an Attack List fo DP Attacks but not the other attacks. May you lead me to the Attack List and how they work with percentages and such for the OTHER attacks?

    Also, I noticed you don't have a thread that really explains HOW to battle and such on the TPM ASB League. May you lead me to such a thread if it still exists?

    Thank you for your kind considerations.

    ASB Attack List Beta.

    And for the battling ettiquette:

    Section 2: Battling
    • In order to start battling you will need an opponent and ref. These are asked for in the topic of a battle you wish to start. For example: RaZoR LeAf vs Someone (Ref: Someone)
    • The Rules you need in order to start a battle are as follows:
      • Number of Pokemon to be used
      • Who sends first
      • Who attacks first
      • DQ Time (default 1 week)
      • Arena
    • Items cannot be used in battle
    • Additional Rules may be added, such as battle duration, or disallowed moves.
    • You may not choose prizes, they are pre-set.
    • Both players must agree before mid-battle rule changes are made.
    • Each round consists of three attacks from each battler.
    • After each round, whoever commanded first, now commands second. With each passing round, the commanding order reverses.
    • Battles end when a Winner is announced, an opponent passes the DQ time, or forfits.
    • You are limited to taking part in 4 Battles at any time.
    • If you are going to be away for any length of time, post in the ASB Absence Tower, so people know you are unable to post.

    Okay, I've got a question that may have been already answered in this topic a couple of years ago (or something awfully similar), anyway...

    If you have a Pokemon from one of the first 3 generations evolve into a Pokemon that's from any generation except the first (e.g. Scyther to Scizor, Tangela to Tangrowth, Magneton to Magnezone, a male Kirlia to Gallade), can it still use moves that the pre-evolution can only learn? For example, Magneton can learn Teleport in RBY only, but can they still use it if they evolve into Magnezone?

    Ah, I thought so.

    Anyway, I've got a couple more questions.

    Can any D/P Pokemon that have a pre-evo from one of the past generations (e.g. Ambipom, Electivire) use moves that their pre-evo can learn from a move tutor from Crystal, Emerald, or FR/LG?

    Also, are battles where Pokemon use only two moves per round still allowed? Hypotenuse Man, this one might bring back memories of that triple battle we had here quite a while ago, I first heard of this in my lone battle with RaZoR LeAf when he wanted only two moves from each Pokemon per round.

    1 - They can.
    2 - If all parties involved agree, I see no problem with implementing a custom rule geared to make battles longer.

    Ahem... I guess this is the right place to ask this, yes?

    Anyway, I'd like to drag my sorry carcass back into ASB. Not right away, as this year I actually have half a chance of finishing NaNoWriMo and really want to focus on that, but probably as soon as November's over. But I have a question regarding my eventual return.

    I have... more or less no recollection of my team. The only thing I can honestly say I remember having is the Blaziken Chris 2.0/1 gave me when he said he was leaving, and that's only because it really surprised me since I'd just said I was also leaving. I guess I could scour the Approval Tower or old battle threads and attempt to find them, or some of you might remember a few, but honestly I'm giving some real consideration to starting my team over (nice as coming back with a big, bad Blaziken would be). So my question is, could I do that?

    And in a related question, for some odd reason I still seem to have 10 points in my bank account. If those are really still valid, especially since I thought accounts were deleted after a certain time... would it be reaching too far to, um... perhaps keep those even if I were to start over? ^^; If I can't keep that after starting afresh, or if I can't start afresh then that's fine (I still haven't quite decided if that's really what I want to do), and I'll just see what I can do to find the old guard again. Just curious about my options, really.

    You can start over, but since you're doing so, and since you'd been absent over 3 months, my judgment call is to say that your points are wiped. Sorry. P:

    However, if you choose not to start over, and instead find records of your old team, you can keep the points.

    Question - Moves used by Pokemon which do not appear on official move lists but are used in the anime... They are still legal, right?

    Within reason of course. Ie Bulbasaur Digging and using Stun Spore.

    I think Bulbasaur digging was more of a reflex to escape and not an attack

    As for stun spore, I don't remember seeing it


    In my opinion, if you can prove that the Pokemon used the move in the anime, it should be legal. After all, the whole basis of this place is from the anime

    Didnt we have that debate years ago?

    It was coincedentally about Bulbasaur and this time it was using Whirlwind in the Anime. Think it was one of the Orange Island Episodes.

    If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through.

    That is exactly what I thought.

    Stun Spore was used in Two Hits and a Miss as a part of the training Montage!

    My gut instinct would be that if you can back it up (and it's obviously not, like, a mutant Pokemon in the anime using it) , go for it.

    DL, feel free to disagree.

    It used to be a rule that if the move is used in the anime, then it can be used in ASB.

    As long as it wasn't retarded. We're talking Caterpie with Water Gun retarded.

    First off, sorry for being a bit late to the party here.

    The Rules in ASB haven't changed, they've just been a bit lax since the insurge of new moves and the animes' willingness to actually know what moves Pokemon can use. So people have most likely waned on remembering certain moves like that. Sure, we can't allow every single instance (Rhydon+Thunder=Hellz no.), but for a case like Bulba with Stun spore, why not?

    Know what's needed? A goddamn list of "odd" moves used in the Anime by Pokemon-Dex. That way people could also have a quick link to those moves instead of having to read through synopsis to know such things.

    Though I'm not supporting Oddish and Fly. That's just dumb.
