I havent tried the ruby sapphire ones yet, I think I'll wait for the remakes.
I played the shit out of RBY and GSC in netbattle and on IRC a few years ago. It was so awesome cause there was actual good competition and figuring out new standards and strategeys and being able to create movesets with underuseds the entire community would use was great.
Then it got bad when no one good played anymore so I dropped that shit.
If only there was an online stadium type game....

Yeah, I used to play netbattle on IRC also. I was never that good, but I used crazy teams. I was pretty well known in the community. Occasionally I still play, but its slightly improved.

You have to go to the forums and register to get the beta version w/ all the ruby/sapphire pokemon on it. If you want to play me come on sometime, or pm me. I always use the same team just cause I think its fun.
PS - getting beat by 12 year olds sucks.
So that netbattle thing is basically just pokemon played over irc?
i.e. no graphics or anything?
No, it has graphics (no animation). And sound I believe too (I turn it off). It is a fairly accurate representation of the video game.
This guy made bots on IRC a while back like early 2002 I think, and you made your teams and movesets and everything and yuou battled over the bots. It was fucking awesome because all the best players were on, and all the little kids who won nintendo tournaments and thought they were hot shit got their asses handed to them.
Netbattle is a program where you battle through that, it has an interface much easier to use but I got bored so quick of killing little kids with a few rare people that were in the same league as me.
lol, mman I think I remember beating you.
Its entirely possible. Did you have a different name on IRC back in the day? And do you remember any of the guys that were really active in that scene?
On NB borkedspork or somethin with spork in it I used with different teams.
On IRC it was this name and somethin else I can't really remember.
Umm, shit I did the IRC thing so long ago its hard to remember. Kevin, articuno64, rexinator, celia, green pikachu, redian, vineon.... I know theres a bunch more can't think of the names.
Hah, I'm gonna d/l this new version of NB just for kicks.
Stop reading my mind.Quote:
