You hear the screeching of the brakes, and you step out of the train into a whole new world. Welcome to the Global Train Station! The Global Train Station is a huge cyber reality hub, where trainers come from across the world to battle and trade with their Pokémon. By using your C-gear, you can now easily teleport to the right train at any time, any where! The Global Train Station is a separate entity, so if you are currently involved in any other cities or routes, you can be at the Global Train Station at the same time if you so choose.
What can I do here?: Well, as you have already been told, you can battle and trade your Pokémon here with other Trainers, no matter where they are on the map. There is a special trading section, as well as numerous battling sections for different battling formats. You may also use the battling simulator, where you can test out Pokémon teams before deciding which Pokémon to capture in the wild, and you can battle using the horde format, which isn't available anywhere else!
How to battle: To battle other trainers, first you'll need to decide what type of battle you want. When you've done that, you can go to the board that has the corresponding battle type. Then you can either get a random battle with the battle matchup thread, and get any referee with the referee search thread, or you can set it up any other way you want by contacting the members you want to battle with or have as your referee. When you are ready to start, the referee should post the match with the following title:
Trainer 1 vs. Trainer 2: Date
Then you will follow normal battle rules to perform a battle, and the referee acts a temporary guardian of sorts. Remember that items cannot be used in trainer battles unless specified, and you will automatically have the Pokémon in your battle box when in one of these battles, unless otherwise stated. You may also use Pokemon from your party or Pokemon from your PC. Pokemon from your PC must be given moves within the normal limit and may not evolve or devolve while in the PC. The winner of a battle gets a battle point for every Pokémon the opponent had in the battle. By default, the losing trainer will also gain one point for battling. These points can be used to show off your skills to other trainers. You may choose to put them in your stats profile if you wish.
How to use the random matchup thread: When posting in the random matchup thread, you will need to specify several things to get the battle you want. You can use the following form to post in the thread:
---
# of Pokemon each side is allowed to use: (You must have at least two in double battles, three in triple battles, and six in horde battles, and you may not have more than six Pokemon for any battle. Must be the same for both sides.)
Battle Points: (You can choose the difficulty of opponents you battle by setting a limit on the number of battle points. Set a high limit, a low limit, or just a certain number. Or you can choose to go against any number.)
Your Battle Points: (Tell how many battle points you currently have.)
Battle Box: (Use battle box Pokémon or other Pokémon? If other Pokémon, please name the Pokémon and their stats.)

You do not have to actually display this form when posting the thread, just the info. If you see a battle you are willing to accept and you meet the requirements for its battle points, please quote the original post and then tell that you are taking the battle. Then you will need to post in the referee search thread.
How to use the referee search thread: The person accepting the battle challenge from the random matchup thread should take it to the referee search thread. Tell who is involved and then how many battle points each trainer has. If you have signed up as a guardian and are willing to ref the battle, quote the battle post and then create the thread. You know what to do after that!
Refs: After you have reffed a battle, please make sure to post the results in the guardian reports section, so that character's battle points can be updated.

How to use the Trading Machine: The Trading Machine is the place to trade both items and Pokemon with friends and strangers alike. Each trainer can create their own thread where they can show their wants, things they are willing to trade, and any other info you want. Other trainers may then post in the thread to make offers to that person. When two trainers have agreed on something, the trainer who owns the thread should take the trade to the completed trades thread. Mods will then update stats accordingly.
