== | ==Random Matchup== | ||
Random Matchup can be accessed through the [[Global Terminal]] inside the Pokémon Centers. Players are given the option to choose the battle mode between Single Battle, Double Battle, Triple Battle, Rotation Battle, or Launcher Battle. The option for Free mode and Rating mode is then given, the latter of which is the concern of the Global Battle Union. Rating mode requires players to have Black and White game synched with a corresponding Global Link account. Players start out with a 1500 Rating that increases or decreases depending on the outcome of the battle. Players are more likely to battle other players of the same rating. | |||

All players are rated according to the number of points that they have. The points are generally intended to account for the win-loss record of that player. | ||
In addition to seeing the general ratings and points of other players, players can also view an "advanced" version of their own ratings by clicking a "details" button on the page. Ratings, along with other information, can be transferred when using another [[Nintendo DS]] console by transferring Wi-Fi Connection settings. | |||
Besides being able to see the overall rankings of each player, ratings can also be filtered by battle format (Single, Double, Triple, Launcher, or Rotation Battles) as well as by location of the player. | |||
Players that end a season rated in the top 100 of the overall ratings receive a special trophy avatar on the Global Link. | |||
Players | ===Rules=== | ||
In Rating mode, players must follow a certain set of rules. Players who choose Free mode have the option to make use of these rules. The rules are subject to changes caused by the likes of glitches, world championships, and overall balance. | |||
