Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Haha have had much time to play these past few months, sadly. As of late I've been (trying to) ladder on showdown and since I liked a team I built I'm trying to replicate it on wifi. Ditto will definitely help out!
My general timeframe for this stuff is 8.30-9.30pm GMT+1 but could come online around 1pm (or 2pm) my time (i think/hope). That's 7/8 am for you I believe?
