    The server was updated with third gen.

    It's not thoroughly tested, so don't hesitate to give feedback. Other things include the new tier system, a lot of fixes as usual, and some adds like hyperlink in main chat, new style for the type chart, or IRC style lines.

    Please give feedback on third gen!

    Very very good job ;)
    Also i noticed that first when you played Little cup the server automatically decreased the level of the pokemons (if like they were 100 in the TB, in battle they become 5) and now it doesnt do this anymore. I know it is not that important but i just wanted you to know, because first i couldnt play lc and i didnt know why.

    Before it was handled by scripts, now it's built-in.

    It's dumb to build LC teams at level 100 anyway because you can't organise your EVs properly due to quirks at Level 5.

    No it isnt dumb, it's just that you avoided to change the level of every pokemon.

    Coyotte, you're my hero. Just showed why this is the best Pokemon battle simulator.

    This is great news. I vaguely remember playing competitive ADV on netbattle very long time ago, but I never got into it seriously.

    This update is awesome.
    Thanks for the main chat and watched battles split, 1v1, LCU and hyperlinks

    Just a heads up, I think it would be better to name it "OU 3rd Gen" or something. The most asked question today was "What is Adv?" and I'm sure anyone would know what "OU 3rd gen" is.
    This is explain it in the welcome message or something.
    (now that I'm thinking of it, maybe having some kind of page where all the new tiers are explained would be nice)

    Advance is great, it kind of feels fresh in how old it is. Getting sweeped because I forgot the importance of raikou however, was not that fun.

    Never the less, this is a great update, another score for PO.

    I love the new update so far. ESPECIALLY the way you add new tiers. The old way was pretty tedious. Now it's all nicely laid out for you. The hyperlinks in chat is a godsend as well, I think most of us know how hard it was to copy a link whilst the chat was moving. ADV seems like a pretty cool feature, but as someone said before a lot of people don't seem to know what ADV is. 1v1 seems like a very popular tier at the moment, I think it could use a bit more tweaking in the rules, but I'll test that on my server and see how it goes. Overall it's pretty good, not encountered any problems, just having to tell a load of people to update (EVEN THOUGH IT TELLS THEM AS THEY ENTER) gets a little annoying.

    Yes, 1v1 became definitely as popular as OU i can say. Pretty much all servers play it and this morning we were doing a 1v1 tour after another xD
    I think it is played just because it is very very fast and also very veyr fun ;) I never played it before and it's a good thing it was added.

    First and foremost I'd like to thank everyone for their hardwork. ADV is my favorite generation.

    I had alot of fun with our match coyotte and I'll be sure to update, if I notice anything.

    Alright, stop. You keep doing this to me coyotte. You keep waiting until I'm not here, then deciding to release an update. STOP IT :P

    Seriously though, keep up the good work. Lets get bug hunting!

    Lamperi's mac is getting fixed, so he can't do anything right now. So, it may be a while...

    Client / Server with several fixeds uploaded.

    Server: All problems in the tier maker solved, Mirror Coat problem solved, default tiers more accurate
    Client: Crash when going down and typing solved

    Warning about the server

    Before the number in the tier names were badly managed, meaning for example VGC 2009 and VGC 2010 would share the same database. So when you update, the database for VGC 2009, VGC 2010, and 1V1 will disappear (as the names are handled differently internally now, because numbers are taken in account). So before updating export the database, then delete the database file (typically the pokemon file without extension in the server root), then launch the updated server.

    Still, make a back up of the database file just in case.

    I went to open the new mac update, but I couldn't open it every time I tried. My older version of PO is working fine so I know it's an issue with the new download. Any suggestions?

    MMMMM Netbattle users! I wonder if anyone is around from the GSC gen's Substitute glitch? That's when I started competitive online Pokemon... I was 13. Holy crap, that was 11 years ago ?_?

    Is it just me, or does the link not work? If so, maybe you might want to remove it as to not to confuse people? If I'm wrong, please excuse me.
