Okay then guys, I'm making this guide... not on request but so many people get confused that I just decided to do this. Quick note, I have windows 7 so I can confirm it works for windows 7 but I can't confirm this will work for Macs etc. Spoiler When you first open your teambuilder it should look something like this ^ but you may have a different theme - I recommend Gilad's Ocean the standard classic because it's awesome. Now you're not gonna want to have just a blank teambuilder so you're gonna want to insert your trainer name and info first Spoiler You can click on with your mouse, and type in, all of the circled boxes - just make sure it's appropriate, we'd rather not have swearing and insults on the server. Once you've filled in all of those boxes you may or may not want to change the colour of you're name for when you talk in the main chat so just click on this box and select the colour you want :) Spoiler Once you've done all that and selected your trainer sprite, next image, then you click the button that says save profile Spoiler So let's say I did all that to my liking - it would look a bit like this Spoiler Now for the actual teambuilding: You're gonna want to double click on one of the six circled boxes Spoiler Which will bring you to a menu like this: Spoiler Click the circled box which will bring you to a list of pokemon which will look like this Spoiler Side Note - Advanced Search: Spoiler Spoiler Clicking on the circled box will bring you to a menu like this Spoiler It's pretty straightforward from here, just enter the requirements for the pokemon you're looking for into the appropriate boxes (abilities aren't alphabetised :() and it will give you a list of the possible matches. Unfortunately it doesn't have anything about tier, but that's constantly changing... (If you type the first letters of the name of the pokemon you're looking for then it should take you there, the same applies with items but this is not for all computers.) Scroll down the list until you find the pokemon you want. Just for the sake of convenience I will use Bulbasaur. Spoiler Double Click the circled box. Spoiler Whadda ya know, you got your Bulbasaur. The rest is pretty much the same as the old teambuilder but I'll go through some alternate formes for you. If you click on the box that states alternate formes (above the change species button) on a pokemon that legitimately gets an alternate forme(s) (Shaymin, Rotom, Giratina, Kyurem, Kami trio, Arceus - it actually puts the correct item on automatically) it should come up with a menu kind of like this. Spoiler You then click the checkbox of the forme you want, for example Tornadus-T or Rotom-W Now for Keldeo, it's not quite as simple for Keldeo - this is no bug. First make sure keldeo has the move 'Secret Sword' then do the same thing as you would do for any other pokemon with an alternate forme. Although, I don't know why you'd want that ugly new forme Keldeo. So let's say you've got 6 pokemon, click the button in the top corner that says 'Trainer Home' Spoiler You might consider looking at that and remembering that stuff ^ Once you're done with that you save the team with this button Spoiler And then you press the red close button down the bottom - I'm not bothered to circle that one Spoiler ^ Since this feature actually works now I guess I could show you guys this Spoiler Spoiler That should explain everything, also the change in colour scheme is because the last 2 images are using Gilad's Ocean That's about all I need to say - if I've forgotten something the plz inform me If this is in the wrong section please move it :) Thanks for reading FAQ: The generation of your team (Black/White) is invalid for the tier Wifi OU which is in generation Black/White 2: How do I solve this? Spoiler You go to teambuilder and click the menu that says 'Gen.' (In an earlier picture) and change it to Black and white 2 Problem solved How do I use the pokemon boxes? Spoiler You click on the button in the trainer home that says 'Box Center', I think it's quite straightforward from there - and I never use boxes so I won't be able to answer some questions, although I probably will... Fortunately there is a way to transfer the pokemon from your old boxes over to the new PO. How do I use the pokedex? Spoiler The pokedex is not yet installed, so you can't use it yet. I will update this when you can. How do I catch pokemon? Spoiler Don't worry, I'm just trolling you guys. In my PO only a tiny square of the pokemon appears, and thats the only flaw despite how minor. How do I fix this? Spoiler
You may want to add multiple team managing into the guide, as it is the new aspect of the teambuilder.
Sweet guide! This should be useful to the users out there confused with the Team Builder's new format. Nice job. :)
Didn't know about the whole 'typing the name in while your in the box', I thought you had to scroll. That will save me a ton of time, thanks!
Sorry for the double post - but just confirming that the multi-team option is now included in the guide :)
My profile keeps resetting. If you don't understand what I mean by resetting, I made a video. [video=youtube;pxLgo8uWnrE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxLgo8uWnrE&feature[/video]
Interesting, I suggest downloading the new client if you haven't already Try exitting PO itself and going back to it - see if that helps
I checked this guide because I was a little confused with the new team builder, good guide, but I think you could change a few minor things to make this guide easier to read [mostly just about clicking]. I didn't find it necessary to double click these boxes. One click did it every time. "You should know what to do here, but just incase - " - I don't think most people know what to do [I didn't personally] "Click the circled box." - Alright, after I typed in Bulbasaur, I actually had to double click the text in order to get to the next step. I also have 2 quick questions: 1.] What is the purpose of the "Box Center"? 2.] What is the difference bewteen 2nd Gen Gold/Silver OU and 2nd Gen Crystal OU in the teambuilder? Gens 1-4 are confusing to me in general with all the new tiers there.
This guide is a little bit outdated now, so some things have changed I never even use the box center and tbh it's the same as last version I don't even know what the difference between 2nd gen gold/silver OU and second gen crystal OU are - I don't see the need I'll update this when I have the time, but I'm a bit busy now - maybe the weekend
One thing you'll want to add to the guide: when you're on this screen: Spoiler [/HIDE] You can click the image of the question mark or the pokemon's sprite. From there it opens up an extremely advanced search option. You can look for pokemon with a specific type, certain ability, a pokemon with any move combination you want to look for, as well as specific types - you can even search for pokemon with a certain base stat, or pokemon that have above or below a certain one.
Spoiler Indeed I will, but when I wrote this guide I didn't even know we could As I said I'm updating on the weekend EDIT: Updated, I've also included an FAQ - Think of any questions that could go there
How do you make the entire pokemon portrait appear? In my PO only a tiny square of the pokemon appears, and thats the only flaw despite how minor. How do I fix this?
I think it's like that on the Dratini Dreams or whatever theme. Dark Classic is fine, showing the whole thing.
Classic / Dark Classic / Shoddy theme are fines (and actually Shoddy theme is the theme that shows the minimum required CSS)
hi guys..i just downloaded the PO for windows..i am using windows 7..i tried to build my team..PO is starting up properly and i am able to go into teambuilder..but when i double click on one of the 6 boxes the client crashes..any idea how to fix this??..
I think the best thing to do is practise with Battle Factory tier. They give you random user-created teams. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses in Pokémon. Maybe if you like a team you can re-make it with your preferences after. What I do is experiment.
