    With our current influx of Android users I thought it'd be helpful to make a guide for Android players considering most of the guests that join don't know how to start! I've taken screenshots with the tablet and by just following the simple instructions it should give users an idea on how to get started


    Getting Started
    Once you launch the Pokemon Online app, you will be greeted by the main menu as seen below.

    [​IMG]

    To get started on Pokemon Online, simply click "Connect" to join the Beta Server. You will default in Tohjo Falls.

    [​IMG]

    To get started on battling, simply click the menu on the top right-hand corner and use the Find Battle Button! Yes, [​IMG] that thing!

    [​IMG]

    The default tier is Battle Factory 6v6, if you recently made a team with a teambuilder make sure that it's loaded up before you press the find battle button.

    [​IMG]

    To switch Pokemon while in battle, simply swipe your screen! For move descriptions, just old the attack button until the description comes out.

    [​IMG]

    To Mega Evolve, send out your Pokemon with the corresponding Mega Stone then use the Menu button to bring out the option to Mega Evolve!

    Channels and Playerlist
    If you want to join #tournaments or different game channels such as #mafia or #trivia just swipe to the left and it'll make the Channel List appear. Just press the channel you want to join

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    To contant other users simply swipe to the right which will make the player's list appear. Hold their name for a bit to make this menu appear

    [​IMG]


    Teambuilder
    You can get started by building a team with the Teambuilder as seen in the menu. Once you press it, it should send you to this screen.

    [​IMG]

    You may input your trainer name, pick a trainer sprite, and customize your trainer information to your liking.

    Once you've finished, it should look something like

    [​IMG]

    After you're content with trainer information, SWIPE TO THE LEFT to access the page where you can pick your Pokemon.

    It should look something like

    [​IMG]

    Click on one of missingno slots to get started on picking your Pokemon.

    [​IMG]

    Type in the name of the Pokemon you want to use or scroll down for the full list. Afterwards, press OK

    [​IMG]

    Now you can allocate EVs, items, abilities, and nature on your Pokemon! You may even use our Pokemon Online Wiki to use sets and analyses made by the community!

    To give your Pokemon moves, press one of the four green boxes to make the movelist window appear

    [​IMG]

    Once you're satisfied with your Pokemon, just swipe to the right to return to the teamslots

    [​IMG]

    Do this for all slots and build a team of your own!

    [​IMG]

    Once you're satisfied with your team, save it up by pressing the menu button on the upper right-hand corner.

    [​IMG]

    Give your team a name and done!

    You've successfully built your team for the Android.



    I hope this guide helped! For other things I missed just post within the thread and I'll update the guide ASAP :3

    Can't see it in the guide, is there a way to change your team's generation in the teambuilder?

    Switching to Gen 6 means that we can't play BW2 Tiers right? Or is there any way through which we can? I still need to ladder on Beta before it switches to gen 6.

    Whenever i try to swipe to go back to team slots after i'm finished with one pokemon, it won't let me. To get back to the main screen i have the exit thr app, close it in multitasking amd then go back in.

    Err you have to press the back button, rather than swiping.

    Note somewhere that IV's cannot be changed yet, and the Hidden Power for a type is the default option (e.g. Hidden Power [Ice] having 30 IVs in Speed instead of Attack and Defense) and they cannot be changed ATM.

    Hopefully you get what I mean, otherwise great guide, this will particularly help 95% of guests on Tohjo! :]

    There doesn't seem to be an option to change your pokemon's level. I know that for the most part, people are going to stick with level 100 Pokemon, but I do want to be able to change my pokemon's level in the case that I want to use some level 1 gimmick. If this option is added or pointed out, I would be very grateful.

    If I have the time and resources, I can redo some of the images. You need to specify though which screenshots I have to get again.
