Fox and I just invented a new battle mode: RANDOM BATTLE. Best played on a cluttered cart with an old and well used savegame. It's very simple - you use a random number generator to pick six pokemon off your game, then train them up (if applicable) and form a team. ANY six pokemon off your game.
This means if you land on five HM slaves and a ditto, you use them. No welshing.
House rules: sleep clause, evade clause, item clause, no full-flawless RNG stuff (but randomly landing on your TRU arceus/regigigas is permitted). If landed on a known hack (mostly applies to Tara's gamefaqs shiny legends junk box) inform the other player that a pokemon on your team may be hacked. Rerolls not permitted unless extenuating circumstances apply.
