It's not an issue just more of a slight nuisance :
The PM system works in such a way that whenever you open a new "window/tab" on Showdown, the chat scrolls all the way to the top forcing you to constantly scroll back down to see messages. Sounds trivial but its the small details that make a whole lotta difference~
And I was wondering if the PM system could be altered in a way that you can have the battle screen and PM screen open at the same time. This will encourage people to use PM more often especially when its just a group of friends spectating each others' battles and wanting to make funny, critical, stupid comments at each other.
Considering how many sensitive and butthurt people exist on the server, who find it necessary to explode at every comment that occurs in the general battle chat, having a more accessible PM system would be nice.

Quick suggestion: have a /peak, (user) command similar to the /rank command.
This would simply show the highest ladder ranking (and maybe ladder placement?) that the user has reached in each tier.
Unfortunately I know this would require more server usage as data on peaks would have to be stored for each user.
However it's just one number per tier per user, it shouldn't be too much space.

Make a new Battle Format: Challenge Cup 2-vs-2, same as Challenge 1-vs-1 but Doubles, Is pretty fun, you can make some good strategies between your 2 choices. I suggested this already on a Hispanic Server and works perfectly.

Hope you may implement this on Official Showdown!

See ya!

i love the thing that allows you to see to see the stats, especcially in randbats, but when your poke dies, you cannot see there stats which annoys me especcially when im wondering for speed. So can you can see dead pokes stats please?
You guys have been great with suggestions so far :)

Can you make it possible to rearrange your entire team and not only who's gonna go first?
It may not be a big thing for most people, but primarly that's how the game works, and it would also help those who run Zoroark on their teams.

Unless it was changed recently that should still work. At any time you have Illusion on your team, you always get to pick your entire team position to my experience. For any other situation, rearranging the importable switches positions in your team already.

The really major suggestion I have for Pokemon Showdown is to have the Teambuilder be aware of the team format you've chosen and restrict you to the Pokemon that aply. As of now, if you choose to make a UU team, the Teambuilder allows you to use OU and Uber Pokemon without letting you know until you try to look for a battle. This often gets annoying. I do a lot of oldgens and I don't like having to sift through all of these X/Y Pokemon and moves if I'm making a gen 3 team. Also, the EV/IV system needs to be changed and abilities removed for Gen 1 and 2 in Teambuilder.

This too!
Also, a shiny animation would be nice.
I must say, I am extremely impressed with Pokemon Showdown so far. Kudos to the developers for doing such a great job and listening to the suggestions.

I'm 99% positive that shiny animations have been implemented.

for gsc/rby, you don't need to do anything re: evs and ivs. just leave them blank/unchanged and showdown automatically maxes out evs and dvs.

How does this prevent spammers?

That would require us to comply with COPPA, which would disappoint a large portion of the userbase.

I really like the new April fools sprites, way more than the 3D ones that make my computer lag! would it be possible to make a setting for PS users to choose which sprites they want to use? Choices being 3D, 2D, and April Fools? Just a suggestion. PS is by far the best site I've ever played pokemon and I appreciate that they actually take into account suggestions from even lowly users like me :3

Thanks!,
Dat Carl

2 new suggestions,

1. A new sort of banning system. People always get unbanned after a reset which is very, very dumb in my opinion. There is guy that ALWAYS say: lol [short link to his youtube video] people like that shouldn't even be unbanned, he knows he breaking the rules yet he does it. But there are so many porn spammer and such and they get an easy chance to do it again. You should try to make it so they get banned for a period of time and not for when the server restarts. I don't know, might just be me.

2. The possibility to get the old sprites back, the 3D ones cool but I prefer the older ones. Or maybe even possibily to keep the April Fools day sprites. Arkeis did an AMAZING job, and I want all of her sprites replaced with the official ones. That Gastrodon ;-; I fucking love it. Please do this, or tell me how I can personally change my sprites to the ones she made! n_n

Also @ DatCarl, even the April fools sprites make mine lag, and it wasn't just me, the majority of the Dutch room had this problem.

Use this link for the April Fools sprites.

Please!

The ability to tab names when you use the shift + enter function?

 

[Bean]

Friends list!
Please!

It's being worked on iirc.

 

[Vacate]

Friends list!
Please!

It has already been completed by Quinella, but it would currently put too much strain on the server.

You see, when someone is banned, their IP is banned (I think you know this by now). When the server restarts, all of that data is cleared for the purpose to make the server run faster. However, there are Perma-Banned users that Mods/Drivers will lock etc. on sight. Its not entirely full proof, but I believe it would take up too much space on the server to permaban each IP that would be banned.

New suggestion: Please, please, PLEASE make a /modnote. I'm auth in 2 rooms so far and that'd make it easier to keep me up with recent changes. Like .... is perm ban. etc.

This would not only help me, but also all the other rooms. Like if you type /modnote a screen, like /roomauth, pops up and allows you to write in a box for updates for other staff. Hope this becomes a thing, would make it alot easier.

Hey, I know this is super minor, and possibly at the bottom of the priority list, but I'd just like to request more trainer sprites.

Don't get me wrong I know there are a ton, but some of the best are missing, like the 3rd gen trainer. And many sprites that are double sprites in game have been split into single sprites, such as the subway bosses from B/W.
If it's possible I would love to see these sprites added, or maybe even the ability to upload and use custom sprites.

Other than that, no complaints, I absolutely love everything you guys do to keep PS running. Thank you so much!

Modnote is available for global Drivers and up. However I do agree it could be useful to be able to use it in Unofficial rooms as well.

I would Like to suggest Group Messaging on the Main Site. The same style as in battle chat, but In PM so that more than two people can chat privately. It's not that hard to go from one message to the other, and then back again, but it would be easier if one could invite another person. Maybe a 5 person limit. Command would be

/grouppm, Test 1, Test 2, Test 3

Please reply when you can with your opinions.

Or you could just make an option to disable getting added to Group Chats.
Otherwise, this sounds great. But eventually these could turn into Mini-Chatrooms....
