    Okay with the new V2 Pokemon Online out, came out a new Team loader.

    It seems nice having more than one team loaded at a time, right? Well wrong we have a fatal flaw with this system.

    We can Not Choose Our Teams, when someone sends a request it seems like it randomly picks one off our list and then just shoves us onto that one with no option to change.

    Now either can we have the option to 1. Have the old single team loader be a part of PO v2 for those who like that style.

    Or 2. Have the total list of teams, when someone challenges us and not just randomize what you get with no options to change it.

    Not even sure why the system was put into effect that way in the first place.


    The Team builder also falls pray to this odd style of seemingly stopping you from doing things. The old one was simply build a team and save it as a file, this one doesn't seem to have that ability, nor simplistic easy to navigate style. Again, can we have an option to have the old V1 style of this.

    These two things are the back bone, yet we've had to create a guide basically to use the thing when before it was basic and not hard to follow. Making it look better is one thing but this is like gone out of the way to make it complicated and not easy to use for no reason.

    About the challenging issue:
    You can choose between the teams that are in that tier!

    Say you are challenged into Wifi OU and have 3 Wifi OU teams, you can choose between them :)

    If you have such team.... then this looks like a bug though. I got to only choose ubers team when challenged into Wifi LU match :S

    I get that where pokes of the tier wont show up or i'll get a random team not of the tier, which is why I'm suggesting the old way be a possible way too. It was much simpler to load up one team at a time and use it. I like to use teams that aren't of that tier for my own reason of testing my metal yet it seems like it's not really able to do that anymore. Makes me wonder if i should go look for a PO v1 download and play on that again.

    I agree the cross tier challenges should be allowed, maybe only if checking a box or something :-)

    Hold on.

    You can have only 1 team with the v2, and play just fine with it.

    And there's no problems, let me explain:

    No, your opponent choose to challenge you in Ubers. When you open the challenge window, you can select the tier you challenge your opponent in. (The 6 buttons you can push). If he checks wifi ubers, you can only choose a Wifi Ubers team, whatever the tier he challenged you from.

    And you can even see in the title of the Challenge Window "XXX challenged you in Wifi Ubers" or "XXX challenged you in Wifi LU"

    So yea. Cross tier challenges are allowed and very possible.

    The option to select your team is at the bottom left, in a drop down. You see the list of your pokemon, and you see the current team and its tier. If you can't change it, it's because your opponent challenged you in a specific tier and so you can only choose teams from that tier. You can see which tier the opponent challenged you to in the challenge window title.

    If you're not happy with that system anyway, why not load only one team? It'll be like v1

    ---

    There, I hope I cleared some stuff out.

    It still seems illogical that your opponent can challenge you into Wifi LU with Ubers team :S

    The point being, your opponent can FORCE you into having your NU team while they still have ubers. Cross-tier challenges are ok but it's stupid if your opponent can has stronger pokes because they clicked a box :<

    Then just refuse the challenge. Because imagine the opponent challenges you with his LC team and you answer with your ubers team? At least with the current system there are no such surprises.

    You can load one team, and i'm likely to start doing that but it then kinda negates the potential of the feature that was added. Having the ability to have more than one team loaded with the ability to pick any team against any tier i thought was the basis of it, which made it really awesome.

    It was the old system with less switching back and forth but it's not why is that?

    IF you really want to get to choose the team just put them all into No Preview Ubers ;D
