First of all, I'm sorry if I posted this at the wrong forum - it's just that I've searched every thread and discussion and couldn't find the right place to ask my questions. I offer my deepest apologies to the moderators if I've caused any inconvenience.
My brother and I enjoy pokemon battling very much, and we look forward to battle each other someday. Unfortunately, we only have one NDS in our house (and out of order as well). So we had to resort to imaginary battles - for example, we play rock paper scissors to decide whether our moves hit the opponent or the infliction of a status condition, etc. (Yup, it's pretty childish :P)
So I am really glad I discovered showdown a few days ago! I finally found a high quality pokemon battle simulator I've always dreamed of; my brother is excited, too. The teambuilder is very convenient and considerate! (The suggested spread function is awesome~!) May all my respect and gratitude be bestowed upon the great developers of the showdown simulator :)
But there are some doubts lingering in my mind, and I would be grateful if my questions can be answered:
1) Team format: I see that there are a lot of restrictions in pokemon selection for battling (XY singles, OU, Metagames, etc.) Is there a possible way for me to enjoy the simulation without such rules? I have a favorite team, and I would like to use it in my battles; but these rules don't allow me to do so.
2) Levels: I see that it is feasible for a player to set their pokemon's levels at their own will. Wouldn't this be unfair in a pokemon battle? For example, I set all my pokemon to lvl. 50, but what if I meet a an opponent whose pokemon are all lvl. 100?
3) Is is possible to set up a server which I can set my own battle rules (All pokemon lvl 50, no legendaries, no switching out, etc.)?
I am sorry if the questions above sound retarded; but I've looked through countless threads and couldn't get my problems solved. (Aaaand, the simple question thread wouldn't let me post >.<)
Once again, thanks to all the fellow creators of this simulator ^*^ Now I have the chance to be indulged in pokemon battling again~~!!!
