We were actually just talking about that. Or at least I was with Justin. xD I'm not sure, since it's a holiday that, to my knowledge, is only celebrated in America. We might not, though. :I Especially since it's not very far away and I, the only reliably active ASB Mod, am busy all this week - too busy to organize something other than ANOTHER cheesy AIM event, which are getting boring, imo.

If someone were going to be inactive for awhile while having unfinished battles, would those battles be postponed or something until the person came back?

Majority of the time, yes, but if you say in your leaving post that you want to keep the battles open, then we probably will, unless you'll be gone for more then a few weeks.

Wanted to make sure of this so I didn't make a total nincompoop of myself before I posted...
Swift, Aerial Ace, etc always hit the target, right? Even with Double Team?

Effect of Swift in the Compendium: "Regardless of accuracy roll, this action will hit target."

I have a question. If I use Sleep Talk when my Pokemon is asleep during the battle, do I get to choose which move comes out or is there some formula to it? Sorry if this seems to be a dumb question, I'm quite new around here. ;_;

The Ref decides using the RNG.

1) What is RNG? I'm still not sure what that means.
2) Is there a place in ASB to change a Pokémon's nickname? Like if you want to change one on your team already or if you buy or trade one that already has a nickname that you don't want it to have.
3) I don't mean to sound rude, but why is there slim to no updates in the Safari Zone? Some haven't been updated in weeks.

1: RNG = Random Number Generator
2: I believe you can just change a Pokemon's nickname on your own.
3: Can't answer that one for ya.

It's short for Random Number Generator, used for random chance effects like Thunderbolt paralyzing and for accuracy.

To my knowledge, no. Nicknames aren't exactly an important thing, so I'm fairly certain, unless someone says something otherwise, you can just change a mon's nickname any time you want.

We fully understand your impatience. I personally can't say what the problem is, as I'm not generally involved in that, but I do apologize for the inconvenience.

So if I were to by a Pokémon from the Used-Pokémon Dealership that had a nickname, could I just change or get rid of it? Or would I have to register it with the nickname and then change the nickname?

You don't need to use the same nickname when registering.

When a poke is asleep, and has 6 actions left, is that total actions?

Ex: Poke A (SLP for 6 actions)
Poke B attacks (Poke A SLP - 5 actions)

or

Poke A (SLP > 6 actions)
Poke B attacks
Poke A rolls, still SLP (SLP > 5 actions)

/Adding to Nate's answer. I, personally, use Random.org. :P

I don't understand the question..?

I do believe he's asking if the Pokemon remains asleep for six actions completely without rolls or does he roll to see if the Pokemon awakens for each action.
