You know the drill. Reply to someone whose Friend Code you want, and be sure to include your own in your post. Just FYI, because it doesn't seem to be common knowledge: Aside from adding each other's Friend Code, it is also important to connect online in Festival Plaza frequently. This is because the Battle Agency was designed by Hitler, and after 3 days of not being connected online at the same time with one of your friends, you will no longer be able to use them on your team. So in short, register friends, hop online frequently, and don't forget to VIP your best battle partners. Also, the Battle Agency gives you an absolutely insane amount of Festival Coins as you level it up. At the time of writing this, my Festival Plaza is Rank 411 and I have amassed nearly 170,000 FC. The general "Festival Plaza" buff given by the Fortune Teller Tents applies to the Battle Agency as well, so fill up your Plaza with FT Tents and try to battle most on days you get the best buff. You will start to get thousands of FC for each win. My current Rank is 46. I'll probably hit 50 today. My Friend List is getting full, but I'll try to add everyone. Hopefully this helps those of you just starting out.

new to the game, what is the battle agency, and how far in the storyline do I unlock it?

>>34667722 This guide seems to sum it up pretty well:
http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/battle-agency-guide.3622272/ I believe the Agency is unlocked after Sophocles trail, so about midway through the game.
In short, you need friends of higher ranks because your Pokemon start out at level 50 (Rank 1), but every time you rank up the computer uses Pokemon at higher levels. For example, I am Rank 46 and thus if you use me on your team, my Pokemon are level 96. Don't be confused - it's still entirely you who battles in a 3 vs 3 Single Battle format. You just get to use the Pokemon I have selected. It's very random. It could have been a great mode if Gamefreak weren't a bunch of half-assed hacks.
You get a ton of FC (Friend Coins) for winning at the Agency, which is useful for purchasing things in the Festival Plaza. Most importantly, you need a lot of FC to buy/unlock 5 Star Rare Kitchens so that you can power level your Pokemon from level 66 to 98 in minutes (catch is, only once per day). I recommend reading a guide on about that as well. Google is your friend.

Also, if you are just starting out, I should be helpful, since my Pokemon will be Level 96+. I'll always try to choose the best Pokemon I can, but keep in mind I am at the whim of whatever choices the Agency gives me, just like you.

Sorry everyone. This thread didn't really take off yesterday when I had the most time to be online. I will try my best to be online frequently tonight around/after 4PM PST. At that time, I will post again to let you know when I am actually on. And I will add everyone I haven't thus far. And yes, Festival Plaza is hot garbage. But when you put in the time, the rewards are worthwhile. I also have a 5 Star Rare Kitchen in my first slot if you need that.

I am currently online and will try to be for several hours. I'm still Rank 46, but hopefully I'll be Rank 50 (level 100 Pokemon) to help out you newcomers soon.
It gets to be bullshit the further you get because you basically need Rank 50 friends to not be at a level disadvantage, on top of the already hit or miss RNG. And then of course your Rank 50 friends don't get online for more than 3 days and you are fucked.
I'll try to be regular for you guys. But I am quite busy with school for the next several months.

I am having a hard time trying to meet people I have added online. Would meeting via GTS be better?
FC: 4570-8092-5604 IGN: Ray
>>34677635 I believe the issue might be that you need to boot up the Festival Plaza and then use the WiFi icon to actually connect to the internet. The problem is, in order to see someone in your Guest List, they have to do the exact same. The good news is, however, that once you VIP them, you're good to go.
Last catch: even after you VIP someone, if they don't connect to the internet in Festival Plaza for 3 days or more, you can no longer select them as battle partners in the Agency until they do.
Also, try to add your Friend Code and In-Game-Name to the "name" category here on 4chan (just for this thread) so it makes it easier for us to identify you.
I will try to be online as much as possible.

It's a bit confusing for me to reference all your posts going down the list, since I have already registered many of you and it would just be redundant.
So just know this: As of this post, if you have displayed your Friend Code anywhere in this thread, I have added you. Only about three of you have not added me back. I THINK those people are:
>>34678922 >>34683164 >>34683333 And now, as of this time, MY FRIEND LIST IS FULL AT 100 people. Sorry if I couldn't get to you. If the above people don't add me by tonight, I'll delete their friend cards and let the next in line add. I'll be sure to reference your post if I do.

Finally someone explains the actual way to use the FC to beat the Battle Agency I'll add everyone and will be trying to beat the Battle Factory for a bit. Little tidbit, the 'Switcheroo' Tents in Festival Plaza shuffles your Mons given by Battle Factory. But iirc you can just exit and enter the FP to reset it anyways.
