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.
When clicking a link for "share replay", I end up with my team on the opposite side of the battlefield about half the time. Is there any way to switch sides, so that I can view from my own perspective?
Currently, there is not. If Zarel wants to make this, then of course he's welcome to, but considering perspective causes no information loss, there seem to be many much more worthwhile things to focus on.
