As you know, in BW, you get to see your opponents team and can decide the order of yours before the battle starts. First I'd like to make clear that this is a totally different way of battling. I saw this feature is implemented in PO, being called wifi-mode, and can be enabled by ticking the box when challenging someone. Besides this there seems to be no other way of enabling it (if I missed it, please tell me), like when you use the "find battle" function to get random opponents. I thought, this being a 5th gen simulator, one would expect this to not simply to be possible, but being the default mode. Or I could go as far to say, why even keep the other modes that don't show the team and neither let you pick the lead? As far as I know this mode doesn't exist in BW, wether be it wireless or wifi battles. For example if you were working on a 4th gen simulator, otherwise than adding the new pokemon/moves/items/etc, would you make the special/physical split an optional mode in the challenge window you have to pick? Of course not, no one would even consider of the possibility of playing 3rd gen style with 4th gen teams, or with a single Special stat while using 2nd gen pokemon and so on. Most people probably wouldn't like a change I'm talking of (as from what I saw, most play the old style right now), but hey, you wanna play 4th gen? Play 4th gen then. Strategies and teams useful on a simulator where the default is 4th gen mode, do not work the same in the BW mode at all. So what's the point if it's not simulating what it's supposed to. Anyways, at least making the "wifi-mode" more easily to pick, including when searching for random battles, would be great.
Clauses when searching for battles are server and tier decided. For example if you go on beta server in a wifi tier, and click find battle, that clause will be enabled and you'll battle like that.
People put what they want in the challenge window. But in Find battle, all battles are with the clause.
rite, figured it out. I pick wifi under tiers and "find battle" gives me battles like they're supposed to be. every 4th battle is against the same person LOL, because 90% are in the dreamworld tier, which basically allows dream world abilities but plays like 4th gen. I'd wanna battle people regardless if they have DW abilities, but with "wifi-mode".I'll just stick to "challenge" ._.
