Topic: Who participated in the Pokemon meet-ups?

[Jonnyboy117]

There are far more friend codes in the thread than slots in the game, so it's hard for me to gauge how many people are really participating.  If you have come online during one of these events and got to play with someone, please let us know here.  I want to find out whether it's worth planning more of these events.  Of course, this is the Smack Talk forum, so feel free to share stories of what happened and any good trades you made!

[that Baby guy]

Well, I pretty much whipped Shecky around, so I'd mark that as a participation...  I've yet to add you, though I've been meaning to.

These things should be done with a link to the chatroom, though, because it can be hard to communicate.

[Shecky]

I was there, lvl 27 was my highest.

WuTangTurtle clued me in on lvl50 battles, where it tries to even things out.... Pale wouldn't have had it so easy then had I known that.  I had a pretty good mix, type wise, against his pokemon set.  His "not so effective" moves were killing me otherwise

I hear your looking for a Pikachu?  I managed to get one on the GTS in less than 12 hrs for a biddoff.

[WuTangTurtle]

check me down for participating.  Let's see, got beat by Soup32 (good fight though), wasted by Pale, and scored an upset victory on Shecky.  Overall I had a blast, anticipating the next one.

Oh and Shecky can you give me some info on how the GTS works, do u just post a trade, turn off your game and come back and check on a trade or something?

[Shecky]

Yeah you go to the first major town (Jubilife or something) and visit the GTS building on the west side of town.  You enter, ask to go in, save, add then connect to Nintendo's service.  Don't worry about sorting your party first before going in... you can access everything in the GTS, even your boxed ones.  Do worry about items though as they get sent with the pokemon if you trade or offer it and you can't remove items in the GTS.

From inside you have 2 options.  Search and offer, and both work in similar ways.  For example, to search you first pick which pokemon to search for based on the first letter of their name.  Now a catch here is that the only pokemon you can request is any one that you have *seen*.  You can also specify gender and level if you'd like.  After all that, you tell it to try and find some matches and a few characters are displayed below.  You can then use the stylus to click one and see what they want, and then B to back out (HATE that interface).

I run into a lot of crazy requests though, and as such have never had success searching.  What I do is instead make an offer.  For instance I put up a Biddoff, lv9 and asked for a Male, lvl9 or less, Pikachu.  You can only have one outstanding request at any point in time, but you can continue to use the search feature after you put in your offer.

After that (and to finally get to your question!)  you can leave the GTS, save, and then shut the power.   Later on you can revisit the GTS and if someone accepted, then the first thing that happens after you connect to the wifi is you see the trade animation with your new pokemon.  I've made 2 trades this way, waiting 12hrs and 24hrs.  (It may have happened sooner, but that's just how long I went before checking again)

So yes it's exactly a drop it off and check it later system.  The pokemon is unavailable for use when it's up for trade.  This is also why I think Nintendo can fulfill some trades for common types with canned names and generated pokemon.

I was thoroughly defeated by Soup32 last night.  Unfortunately, that's the only battle I got to do, the semester is wrapping up so I wanted to at pop on and see what online battle is like.  A heads up, I do have all of you that have posted here on my list.  Now I just need to get training before you all pull way ahead of me.

[SOUP32]

yeah, i'm really enjoying these meet ups. had some solid fights with Wutang and optimisticlimbo. And good trades w/ Jonnyboy117.
gotta make sure i've got Shecky, Pale and thatguy on my Pal Pad.

Great idea to have this forum, tought to tell who to add to the list w/ 8+ pages of friend codes on the forum

[Mashiro]

I wasn't able to participate in the event at the given time last night cause of work.

However, Rachet was on at around midnight EST so I got to experience some online play. Man I gotta give credit to Nintendo where credit is due. The voice chat and non-laggy battles are very cool.

I felt kinda bad cause my pokemon are all around level 50 plus (my main guys being level 70+) and my eeveelutions are all around 50ish now. He was still very early on in the game so it was an easy win.

He was nice though so I gave him a gift, I sent him one of my un-used eevees, I hope to see him use it sometime down the line.

Hopefully by the time the next online event goes down my all eeveelution team will be complete and I can get into some really intense battles!

[Pale]

Hey i justu want to apologize for being mute yesterday, as I was in a location that made it impossible to talk.

[that Baby guy]

Like I said, I really think we need to turn to the chat room for this.  Given the number of FC's that are on that one topic, there's just too many to keep track of, without overlooking someone who does show up.  In fact, I thought everyone was supposed to meet in the chatroom, and initially thought no one showed up!

Nudey Bar?

I had a great time battling and chatting with Mashiro last night.  He was very nice, and yes, he whooped the crap out of my Pokémon -- level 70-ish just is too overwhelming for level 20 critters.    But it was a BLAST.  Can't wait to do it again.

This forum is great for bringing other Pokémon trainers together.  Keep up the great work, NWR!

[NWR_Lindy]

I wasn't on last night, but I'm going to add everybody on this thread to my friend list.  With Animal Crossing I added everybody that was on the thread, and the only person that EVER visited my town was Lasse.

None of my guys have even reached level 20 yet, so somebody like Masahiro would absolutely wipe the floor with me, but I'd love to have an online battle.

[SOUP32]

k, i've made sure i've got everyone registered in my pal pad that's posted in this forum, except for vudu (couldn't find a friend code)

[that Baby guy]

I've still got some friend code revising to do.  Anyone that's PMed me, I'm not going to end up adding, and I'm just going to go with this thread too.  I get the one time traders from GFAQs mixed up with the people here that don't post, but PM, looking for an easy trade real quick.

Edit:Alright, I've gotten everyone that posted in this thread in mine, and everyone else's is gone.  I'll send the people that didn't say if they were putting everyone in here in their codes to let them know.

[Mashiro]

I'd love for another event to go down . . . I really wanna test my team against more players . . . =)

[Sarail]

Yes, I definitely agree.  Pale, Mike, and whoever else reads this concerning NWR...  let's get another Pokemon meet-up together real soon.  This is such a great way to get everyone together.

[Jonnyboy117]

Cool, thanks for the responses!  We will definitely have another meet-up, probably towards the end of this week.  I'll announce it a couple days early, and I like thatguy's suggestion of using our chat room for pre-game communication.  I haven't been in our chat room in ages, so this is a great opportunity to link up all of our community features at once.  Remember that you can just use the java chat by clicking on the "Chat" link anywhere on the main site.  Change your name when you get there by using the "/nick xxxxxxx" command, replacing xxxxxxxx with the nickname you want (preferably your forum name to avoid confusion).
