Alternative Programs to Netbattle for RBY?

[Underboss]

I like Netbattle, but sometimes there's no RBYers on. I was wondering if there is any other good programs for RBY around that anyone knows about. Cause I think RBY 2k10 shouldn't be just about Netbattle. It should be in every RBY online battle program. So does anyone know about any others? Or is Netbattle the best by far?

Edit: Also, I wanna make sure it's legit before I download in case it's just a virus or something

if you want to get oldschool there's PBS

porygon.math.miami.edu:7137/

but that has even less people (about 0 on any given day) and is even more glitchy than netbattle. Other than that I don't think there are any RBY battle simulators Netbattle is about all you'll get.

What Dexter said.

Most simulators old enough to run RBY are either dead, completely inactive, buggy or taken down by the original server administrators.

Netbattle is the ideal choice.

What's wrong with Netbattle? It would be nice if it had the animations, but that's not exactly an easy thing to put in.

By the way, what is the difference between NB and Shoddy Battle? I know Shoddy can only do RSE and DPP, but what are other differences? Is it just the ranking thing?

Damn, so we really are pretty much the only ones left in competitive RBY then aren't we? Wow that's kinda a downer. The only problem I had with NetBattle was that I thought it wasn't everything in RBY. I wanted to challenge as many people as can in as many programs as can. But I guess NetBattle is all there is, as you guys tell me. *sigh*

Well, this forum has new members pretty often. The community is actually growing now, which I think is pretty cool. Icy did a nice job creating some interest in RBY.

There's still Smogon that plays RBY once in a great while, but their average player isn't superb, since they're more involved with later generations. There are a few good players though.

There's also a few random people nobody really knows.

And then there's our tightly-knit little group.

So, we are probably the biggest RBY community still active aren't we? I suppose this is reason to celebrate. Nice work Icy and others!!! I'm trying to get a lot of my friends to join btw .
