reason why that code probably didnt work is cause i dont have brawl+ i got regular brawl.
That doesn't matter. Brawl+ is just the name for a set of codes, and you're using codes. It's not like it's a different game that only certain codes work for.
I use tons of Brawl+ codes, but brawl+ is silly, so i basically pulled bits and pieces here and there so i could keep good brawl but still have some of the good things b+ has. I use both of the codes listed above and my independent pokemon work.
You probably don't have independent on your css. If you do, then i don't know what's up.
But i definately second the notion that i want PT to stop switching out fainted pokemon and solely rely on VB. I've never heard it existed until now.
