A little disappointed by a certain rated wifi match on x&y.

So in the end even though he would've lost because I could wall Rotom all day and Gourgeist was to low to switch in because I had spikes up he won because the timer ran out and he had one more pokemon then me, even though I would've won if he wasn't trying to time out the clock.
I guess you could say that's just another tactic to win, but I think that's really cheap. I didn't know the timer gives the win to the person with more pokemon, I thought it would draw. Otherwise the moment I noticed he was stalling the timer I wouldn't have sacrificed Skarmory. It was a really sad lose...
So how do you feel about it? Is it okay to stall out a stall team by stalling out a timer?

>>16272034 He was Japanese so at first I though maybe it was just connection issues, but when he does it constantly and never misses a turn until the last second it seemed kind of intentional.

>>16272047 That wouldn't have happened had you played a Korean player. Those Japanese are up to no good. Everything from shitmons to this.

>>16272036 Sorry, I didn't save it. I should've have, I do save battles I lose, but this one aggravated me so I didn't bother and hadn't considered that anyone else would want to see. Though if someone does something like that again I will save it.
>>16272066 No, I met plenty of really cool Japanese trainers, and their's people who would do anything to win in any country.

>>16272170 I haven't come across anyone like that. I don't even mind people running mega blaizaken, mega kangaskhan or any uber/pokemon/moveset for that matter. If they have a team of ubers eviolite Chansey can handle them pretty well. I do lose because I still have a lot to learn, but I have all the roles and bases covered, so it's very rarely been a one sided match no matter what anyone runs, it just never occurred to me someone would timestall, but I'll keep that in mind from now on, and try to keep myself at least even in pokemon if someone is stalling the clock. I guess I learned a lesson so something came of it.

also, those moves usually are pretty weak. chanseys will just stall the PP out.

I just forfeit when the opponent stalls for like 5 turns with Substitute Protect or something. Why waste my time with that. Then again I mainly play on Free Battles.

Oh you're going to stall me out and don't have your phazer out? Okay then I'll set up all over you. People just don't plan their team out to incorporate a few moves and then get mad at the other person about it.
I run a stall team, but I can name three things that counter them of the top of my head, Taunt(big time), smart setting up, or heal bell which I hear heals parties status problems though never seen the move used.
Pokemon that are super effective can knock out stallers, and so on, so their's a lot of counters to them but I find them really fun, and the game goes to the person who can outsmart the other regardless of the type of team anyone runs as long as it's well planned out.

It's interesting you bring this up...since I'm actually living in Japan right now (blahblahblah whatever) I've had the opportunity to SEE japanese players as they play.

Actually for me the battle begins before we throw out a pokemon. I spend nearly all the time at the team selection screen narrowing down what three would be a good composition based on what they can send out, and sometimes this happens to me move wise as well as the opponent, where a couple turns you might really think it through.
I try to give people the benefit of the doubt so I don't mind it, but when the other guy is doing it 15 minutes straight down to the last 5-10 seconds without missing a turn, it gets really boring and obvious.

>>16272513 Fun part: had a guy once who took nearly the full time for a 6-on-6 match.
This means he basically spent a whole 2 minutes deciding who to throw out first.

And if you HAVE to carry those moves or some other direct counter to minimize or you'll lose every single time against it, then something is unbalanced and needs to be fixed.

Something i've noticed that could just be purely coincidental, I run a team of five online and whenever the opponent is NA they usually handicap themselves to five Pokemon as well, however foreigners (mainly Japanese) will always, ALWAYS take the 5v6. Honestly I think people become less compassionate in online gaming when they mix with other nationalities. I play a lot of MOBAs and communicating with South Americans and Europeans can be hard because they barely acknowledge, or they flat out grief you if the game isn't going collectively well.
