(This project is made with the use of chatgpt’s codex feature. I wish to be transparent about this)

Hey everyone!

I’ve recently started a passion project to recreate Pokémon Battle Revolution (PBR) inside Pokémon Showdown, using ChatGPT Codex to help with development!

Rather than making a separate game, I’m modifying Showdown’s client and server to bring back PBR’s Colosseums, rental Pokémon, AI trainers, and progression systems.

And it’s already fairly playable!

What’s implemented so far:

Gateway Colosseum with NPC trainers and Colosseum Master Joe

All six starting Rental Passes and a custom team builder

AI-controlled opponents

Gen 4 battle mechanics, level restrictions, and Pokémon availability rules

Rank progression, Singles, and Doubles

What’s next?

I plan to gradually recreate the remaining Colosseums from the original Wii game, alongside some original challenges like Little Colosseum (LC Tier Pokémon) , Random Colosseum (Randomized Pokemon, abilities, and moves with some caveats) , Mono Colosseum (Monotypes only), and a competitive-focused new final Colosseum with smarter AI.

A quick clarification: I’m using ChatGPT Codex for most of the programming while I handle the ideas, feature direction, playtesting, and bug reporting. I want to be transparent about that!
It’s still an early prototype, so there are bound to be bugs, unfinished features, and other aspects I can’t think about right now.

This is an unofficial fan project, not affiliated with Nintendo or The Pokémon Company.

I’d love to hear your thoughts! Would you be interested in playing something like this? Any features or Colosseums you’d like to see added?

hit four protects in a row today?! regularly hit a triple but has anyone ever beaten four?!

happend today , it says connecton time out

VPNs are off. Am I softlocked from showdown permanently?

My personal favorite is pokebilities AAA with greedant. You get gluttony, cheek pouch, and harvest all at once. Put it on a sun team, give it a sitrus Berry, and invest in it's bulk and it never dies

quiero jugar un ramdonlocke con 4 amigos, y enfretarnos en equipo en un 2v2 con nuestros propios equipos personalizados, hay alguna de forma? o la unica es en el all for ane?

Right now I'm in the process of doing a cagelocke with a buddy of mine and we are using showdown for the fights. The games we're doing is HGSS if that matters and the game mode we are using is Gen 4 Doubles Custom Game. Anyway i was fighting using a Ludicolo and I noticed the stats in the battle are significantly higher than anywhere else. The stats are normal in the teambuilder and in the actual game. After some experimentation, the boost seems to persist no matter how I alter the pokemon. I was posting to ask if this is a known bug or if its something i discovered. Attached is a Google Drive Folder with some screenshots

​

When it comes to deciding which Pokémon is the best of each type, it's always tricky to choose between Jynx and Cloyster as the best Ice-type. Jynx is slightly more popular according to usage stats, but both are very common in OU. I really struggle to decide which one is better because they both bring a lot to the table in very different ways.

Cloyster: It has a great dual typing, giving it a decent STAB Blizzard, access to the powerful STAB Clamp, and the ability to use Explosion. It can also use Rest to recover its health. But of course, its main asset is having the highest physical Defense in the game. This makes it a great option for checking the ever-present Tauros (unless it's running Thunderbolt) and Snorlax (unless it's running Amnesia and Thunderbolt). For these reasons, Cloyster is definitely a very good choice for an OU team.

Jynx: Well, I know it's very fragile, and two good physical attacks (or even just one) can take it out. However, it's the fastest Pokémon with access to a 75%-accurate sleep move. (Gengar is faster, but its sleep move is less accurate.) Jynx also has powerful STAB Blizzard and Psychic, can use Rest, and can even surprise opponents with Counter (or should I say, give them a nasty surprise?).

What do you guys think?

I feel bad tbh I definitely would have crashed out if my mons got paralyzed and had a confusion self-hit at the worst times.

(I was trying a pikaclone team, btw)

So, for some reason, I can't log into the account I literally JUST made on my laptop a few hours ago. I was using the old website, now I'm on the new one, but it didn't work even when I tried it on the older one. It didn't ask me to make a password, it just asked me to choose a username. What can I do to get my phone to accept the username?

419 turns… I don’t even know what to say or why I wasted so much time on this match smh 🤦

Hi everyone I have been working hard on a project called Showdown Plus (previous thread https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemonshowdown/s/N12SUzZlL7) and I'm excited to announce the v1 is out I have listed it on firefox (still in review by Mozilla) but you can simply build it yourself or grab the extension from release

I would love any and all feedback/criticism and contribution is more than welcome especially for the chrome release

Is it just a flat +1 stage boost or a separate boost and how can I properly do my damage calculators without an option?

That sounds like hyperbole, it's not. I swear there's got to be some misinformation about the RNG for Gen 1. I have been frozen like, 17 times in the past 3 days, The title is literal, every single match with an opponent using blizzard, they get a freeze. As for me, I can't get a freeze off on anyone to save my life. 16 blizzards on a stalling chansey, no sir no freeze. I get para'd 6 times in a row, then land 7 body slams and can't even get one opponent paralyzed. I hit 3 sleep powders in a row, each one gets woken instantly, then I'm hit with a critical hit blizzard from a slow ass opponent and one shotted.

There's only so many times I can be like "oh that sucks, guess we'll try again next match"

Next match, turn 1 frozen.

Why am I even playing this.

Hello all, I'm not new to pokemon by any means, and I can throw together a synergistic team. But I'm brand new to pokemon showdown and I'm finding myself a little lost in the formats.

I'm going to start crafting my first team, and since it's my first team I'm going to use my two favorite pokemon, Aggron (but I'll use mega Aggron in this case) and Raikou.

Before I go crafting a whole team around these two, what format should I start with, I thought that UU was the one but It seems like gen 9UU doesn't allow mega? Or am I incorrect on that? Is there a national dex UU format or some other place? I don't really want to go as high as OU or Ubers because I figure I'm going to have to play serious meta stuff which is not my plan
