Talk:Pokémon battle
"Forfeit half your cash"
The statement that you will forfeit half your cash if you lose may not be entirely correct. I was playing Leaf Green earlier today and beat Lorelei with 0 cash, leaving with me with a total of 5400. However, Bruno then took all of my money (5400), leaving me with 0 again. Additionally, before I have had a situation where Bruno has taken all my cash, despite the fact that I have had a little more than 5400 when starting the battle with him.

- Certain games have changed the mechanic where the lost cash is a set total instead of a fraction. Trust me, there are times where I intentionally blow as much cash as possible in XD so that I can abuse gender-setting against foes with lots of shadows (I once faced Ardos for the first time with just $7 to my name). --Shiningpikablu252 22:35, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Wild Pokemon
I vaguely recall reading that wild Pokemon don't battle for reasons other than territory, food, and mating. Is there any reference in the games, anime, or manga, for this? Redstar 03:41, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
Japanese kana
At the top of the page, the kana for "Pokémon Kettou" just says "Pokémon". I'd do it myself but I don't know which Japanese alphabet is needed. Flicky1991 09:40, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
Link battling
I want to find a way to merge link battling onto the page. I've created a prototype here, but it still needs work. Can I get some input? Thanks! --rockersk08 16:52, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
Trivia
Should it be noted that the maximum Pokémon allowed to be in the battle at a time from one side has increased by 1 in every odd generation? Generation I introduced 1 on 1 (standard battles), Generation III introduced 2 on 2 (double battles), and now Generation V introduced three on three (triple battles).

- I myself would do this, but I guess the page is protected or something. Pokered4000 22:31, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
Volleyball is a conception to the rotation battle.
Testimony by developer. http://weekly.ascii.jp/elem/000/000/024/24648/
Information is put with the Talk because there is no item of the rotation battle. Sawamular101 16:39, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
"Call" in Colosseum
In Pokemon Colosseum, there's another option, "Call", instead of "Run" (not sure about XD). It wakes up a pokemon, and returns a shadow pokemon in Hyper Mode to normal condition. Seem to have an increased priority. Should it be mentioned in the article? Kelenius (talk) 14:45, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
