Heard about this board on Gamefaqs from gunbladed and got the urge to get back into some competitive battling. It's been a few years since I've even played a match, so I'll be quite rusty at first but I think I remember most things so I should be able to catch on fairly quickly.
I went by Wild_Mantine at Gamefaqs and I'm (apparently) still a mod over at The Alternative which is run by the infamous GGFan. It's not very active over there anymore, but I think I'm going to try and liven it up a little.
Anyway I may recognize some people or they might ring a bell and vice versa. Good to be here, and I look forward to playing with you guys.

Hey, one of the intelligible people from GameFAQs! <3 I'm "Liikala" on there. Also, are you different from this guy? Nice to see you here. I'd like to see how some more of the oldschool players fare today. =) |

Why does EVERYONE online say "Gunbladed" instead of "Gunbladelad", lol. "GBL" or "Lad" usually suffices.
Anyway, welcome to the board.

You should go to GameFAQs more often.

Kinda funny. Thanks for the warm welcomes everyone. Be patient while I embarrassingly try to get the hang out of this game again. Hey, one of the intelligible people from GameFAQs! <3 I'm "Liikala" on there. Also, are you different from this guy? Nice to see you here. I'd like to see how some more of the oldschool players fare today. =) Ah yeah I know you! The people that know what they're talking about are quite easy to spot over there, haha. I've played a few matches and done pretty bad but I'm not gonna be too hard on myself just yet. I managed to beat waterwizard's neo team but that doesn't count at all haha. Even then he was playing exceptionally well. It's funny that you call me oldschool, because while it doesn't feel like too long ago that I stopped playing consecutively, I can definitely see how the game is being played a little differently. It's still RBY (because how much can RBY change honestly) but I saw a few neat little things that impressed. I can't remember a lot off the top of my head, but waterwizard's Dugtrio stood out to me. He utilized more efficiently than I'd usually seen. He managed to withdraw it at 3% health and later win the match with it. From what I can gather he's the kind of player that likes a lot of diversity, and that hadn't really been the norm when I played. I also played against someone I can't quite remember the name of. Consumputous or something along those lines. I think I played him twice and lost both. Another good player. So yeah, I assumed you guys would be pretty good players and it doesn't look like I was wrong. I'll definitely need some time to get more comfortable with game again, especially since I'm starting up again with a lot of formidable battlers. As a side note, if I'm not mistaken Articuno used to be borderline but she seems to be OU now. When I played I always enjoyed using her in standard play as I thought she was quite good and just seemed to inherently fit with me. Though not my favorite Pokemon or anything, she was definitely my signature. It's good to see she's getting respect lol |

It's always good to see new people, welcome  And to be fair to GameFAQs I came from there too, although I think it would be difficult to find five people who recognize me there. |

RBY has changed, but it hasn't. Really, the precision and perfection are much closer to their maximums, and those changes do affect how battles play out, but your team from before can probably hold its own now. Teams haven't changed, but gameplay has somewhat.
Also Articuno is one of the lower OUs, like Jolteon. Mostly though, our tier system is tier-based, rather than OU-based, and since Articuno was a little too good in BL, we bumped her up.
If you're interested in knowing anything, feel free to ask, and we've got quite a diverse amount of players. WaterWizard is always fun, and we have many players that play more conservatively too.

mm, I used to go by Necavi on GGfan's The Alternative. I recently downloaded Netbattle again after going through my emulat... games and found Fire Red - Touhoumon.
Now that I think of it, I never made an introduction thread myself... sorry ;o
