Does anybody else want to get in on this? We could pick a night that works good for the most people and do a round-robin, or double round-robin depending on how many we have. ---

How does the leveling work in online battles? Is everyone bumped up to 100? ---

> [@RandMcnally](#): > > How does the leveling work in online battles? Is everyone bumped up to 100? There are choices. Trion and I did a flat battle, which means that every Pokemon above level 50 is reduced to level 50, with their stats modified accordingly (but the IVs and EVs unchanged). There is also the option of an unrestricted battle, in which your actual levels are used. ---

Well, **Bricker** , it looks like it’s just you and me. I am available both tonight and tomorrow night for battling. Tomorrow night is actually better for me, but I know that’s Friday night and some people have lives. Again I’m hoping for 9pm. ---

I’d love to, but I’m still a ways from getting a team together (Just beat the 8th gym yesterday!). So once I have a team of at least lvl 50’s, I’ll post back here. ---

Tomorrow night is actually better for me, but I know that’s Friday night and some people have lives. Again I’m hoping for 9pm. 9 PM Friday is very workable. Would you like a rematch against the team that beat you or a new team challenge? ---

That’s cool **Koldanar**. I look forward to having you join us. > [@Bricker](#): > > 9 PM Friday is very workable. Would you like a rematch against the team that beat you or a new team challenge? Whatever you want to bring is fine with me. I’m still learning to battle actual people and I don’t want to take anything for granted. I’ll probably be bringing a new team myself and getting a feel for what works and what doesn’t. See you tomorrow night. ---

I’ll probably be bringing a new team myself and getting a feel for what works and what doesn’t. In a sense, that’s true for me as well, but I have had the benefit of tutelage from my son, who at nine is a very well-versed and accomplished battler… so I might just have an edge 🙂 ---

And here I thought you had been Raptured early. No problem, we can try again another time. Hope you’re feeling better. ---

My son, ever the die-hard battler, points out that technically, since the WiFi signal reaches into the bathroom, I could have handled both problems at the same time. :o Tonight? Tomorrow? ---

I think competition rules say that you are only allowed to use Trubbish or Garbodor in that situation. > [@](#): > > Tonight? Tomorrow? We have company this weekend so I don’t have a time I’m confident of. I’m going to fall back on the standby of a weeknight at nine. Any one you’d like to pick should be OK. ---
