But then again if you "/dt vacuum wave" it does say "Usually goes first."

get on my level
I know, I just figured that the description would be too long or something if that was added, and was pointing out that the information is there, even if not blatantly obvious. I do agree it should be fixed for the sake of correctness, if it is possible to do so, but it's not like there was any misinformation presented.
I imagine it is so since only giving each side one Pokemon to choose would make matches much less skill-based and much more matchup-based. If your one Pokemon is a Mega Mawile and your opponents one Pokemon is a Mega Charizard Y, no amount of skill can save you. Also, in 3v3 formats, you can use all Pokemon and switch from one to another, neither of which you can do in 1v1. If you think your idea still has merit as an Other Metagame, though, you can refer to the Other Metagame submission rules here.

Is it possible to increase the time before a person who deconnected loses? The current one is completely unrealistic as it's virtually impossible if your connection times out to rejoin the battle in time, yet alone think of a correct play.
Often I've already lost before I realised I've been deco, it's fucking ridiculous.
Losing connection for 5 seconds means losing the game which quite frankly, is completely retarded considering the time to pick a move is like 5 hours.

I had actually been thinking of a system where the disconnect timer is partially separate from the move timer, so that if someone disconnects for 40 seconds while they still have 120 seconds on their move timer, they would have 80 seconds to pick a move instead of 20 upon reconnecting. However, being disconnected for a total of 60 seconds without making a move would still result in a loss. To put it simply, the disconnect timer would be counted separately from the move timer, but the move timer would still count down while the player is disconnected so as not to allow players to give themselves more time to move, or to make timerstalling worse.
Edit: to be clear, the disconnect timer would not reset every time a player reconnects
You don't have Zygarde's new alternate form cries. Why not?
I'm triggered really hard rn because i get mad at the overly stupid lock mechanic. It's not bad like from the concept of it the concept "i want that this dude cant talk in pubblic crooms and annoy random ppl but he can also ladder and play for a tour" is ok but holy shit how annoying is that you are impossibilited to comunicate even in the slightest margin and every update made on lock lowers your possibilities to communicate and is incoherent with the major utility that this mechanic offers. Another thing that makes me MAD AF are autolocks words: the pure concept of banword "if you say this word for w/ever reason you get punished even if we don't tell you what are the bws" is stupid, just make play the message "you cant say that word" dont LOCK me for that shit. My solution for this problem would be to have "feeds" that you can open to certain people in order for them to chat/battle with you even if you're locked like an another "ignore" feature with the difference that a user is "ignored" by default if locked but you can "unignore" him and he/she is able to interact with you.
Suggestion: So I think that the random battle system needs a change in how Pokemon are assigned. As of now, some random battle games are decided not on skill, but on what Pokemon that you and the other person were given. I was playing this one game, and I was given a team of : Xatu, Carbrink, Torterra, Kecleon, Ninjask, and Heliolisk. While the other person was given a team of : Wishiwashi, Deoxys (Normal), Tornadus (Therian), Persian, Togetic, and Reshiram! There was no way that I could win against that team considering what I was given. So here is my change, which is inspired by the battle factory mode. My change would be that Pokemon would be assigned based on tiers, so that teams could be more even. So for each Pokemon slot, a tier would be assigned, and then a random Pokemon from that tier would be assigned to each player until 6 Pokemon were reached.
Example: The tiers assigned are Ubers, PU, RU, OU, RU, and OU. So each player would receive one Ubers, one PU, two RU, and two OU Pokemon.
Thoughts on this?

Not sure if this has been suggested, but can you make the tournament brackets scrollable with the mouse wheel? Would make viewing the bracket much easier.
You know when your in other tab and appears this message?
Or even this message:
PS could have an "You Lose" Pop-Up like: You lost against **** or "You Win" Pop-Up: You won against ****
And also Gens in /ms. Please! We need Gens in /ms to create in theory teams from other gens. And you can put shorter ladders like /ladder OU and it shows your OU ladder. Variations like /ladder gen6ou etc. Thank you for reading!

I doubt this will be added because that (alongside magnitude and bulldoze) would make the description too long. When length issues like this happen, the extra information is always in the PS Dex.
My reply is concerning the Random-Battle-Section. Could you possibly add some balance into how teams are built? I just lost to a combination of Zekrom and Mega-Salamence and all I got was a Tapu-Fini in "comparison". Not sure if this is the right threat to drop this, pls tell me were this has to go, if it's wrong, but I was pretty confident that this would be the right one ;P
I do like this suggestion! In the meantime, Lady Monita (bot) has a mail service that will PM a user what you send, when they next come online.
The viabilities of Gen7 Pokémon haven't stabilised yet so you'll just have to make do for now.
Sometimes you just get bad luck, on top of the fact that Gen 7 tiers aren't really in place yet.
In addition, please use the following thread for all Random Battle suggestions in the future. http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/pokemon-sun-moon-random-battle-sets.3591157/
Thx for the thread-advice, I still want to leave this replay here, I won my most fullfilling random-battle right now xD http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7randombattle-511891617 this kinda made me think about my suggestion aswell xP

Show the Move type effectiveness directly, just like in SM

I don't know if that would really be useful since the /weak command mostly does the same thing if you're willing to spend another 10 seconds to write the name of the Pokémon
