Also, remember, if you haven't already, vote for the type I'll use for the next Monotype Monday!
Click this to view the long post!
Step 1: Go onto Showdown.
Click here for a quick link to Showdown.
Once the page is loaded, you should get something that looks like this:
Got that? Great.
Assuming you haven't gone onto Showdown before or even know what it is. I'll first tell you how to get an account.
Step 2: Get a username and register it.
Go to "Choose name" in the top right corner and find a username that hasn't been registered.
As you can see, once you find a username, it will show up. Next, you want to click that gear. If you go to the bottom, you will find a button that says "Register".
.
If you want, you can change around some of the settings, but I'll leave those for now. Click register, and you'll go through a simple registration process that I won't bother showing. No email, Facebook, Twitter, Google+ garbage, just a password and a simple question. If you can't figure that out, you don't belong on the Internet.
Step 3: Making your team
Here on Showdown, you don't catch Pokemon. You can just make them with a few clever button clicks.
First things first, go to the Teambuilder.
Following that, you want to make a new team.
Now, you'll see a screen like this:
Before doing this, you should really try to understand the Smogon Tier System. At the moment, all of the tiers aren't constructed yet, so I'll give you a quick crash course in the current tiers.

Quick crash course? That took me like 45 minutes to write!
Whew! Now, we can get started making a team. I'll be making a sample OU Team.
Make sure you are in the right format. At the moment, you probably don't have any Pokemon. Click the "Add pokemon" button.
As you can see, there are Pokemon for you to choose from. I'm going to be choosing Azumarill because Azumarill is cool.
Once you have selected you Pokemon, you will work on the the assets of your Pokemon. I find this Teambuilder easy to use, but I'll guide you through how to make a proper Pokemon.
As you can see, you can change the nickname, give your Pokemon an item, change the ability, and give moves. These are basic things you want to do. I'll do those quickly, and...
Voila! An Azumarill!
Now, you're probably wondering what all those weird numbers mean. Unless you're like me and are really picky about your EVs and IVs, I recommend you click that button I circled in red.
After you do that, click the plus sign and add five more Pokemon to your team. I'll just take care of that...
Oh! I forgot to mention that if you want a Mega-Evolution on your team, that's fine. Showdown has full access to all of the megas.
Let's say you want a Mega-Venusaur. You'd go into the search box...
You DO NOT click the Venusaur-Mega. You click the Venusaur and give it the Venusaurite.
Seems odd, but that's the way you have to do it or your team will be invalid.
Speaking of invalid things, make sure you are choosing moves that are legal!
Don't be dumb and do this!
Anyways, back to finishing my sample team...
Unfortunately, Azumarill got a little cut off...
So now I'm done, so I need to go back to the Home Tab.
Then, you'll select the tier that you made your team in.
Ignore the fact that Zygarde looks like a Victreebel. Just a programming error!
Once you're ready, you can look for a battle! Good luck and have fun!
