Hello, I have yet another suggestion!
A More Details Button for your moves. While in the teambuilding, I think it would be very beneficial to have the ability to see the extra details. Or the details displayed in battle. It would look like this:
Basically clicking the button will have a small pop- up (depends on the amount of description put into each move). If you do not know what I mean, try joining a battle and hovering over one of your moves. Some of the small descriptions aren't enough to me and some other users on PS! . So the ability to see the extra details in battle would be very useful when making sets for Pokemon or just teambuilding in general. Even /dt (or /data) doesn't display this, so perhaps a similar feature could be applied to /dt?

It's unfortunate that the level cap of the format doesn't get automatically get communicated to the teambuilder, but I guess that for those temporary formats that default to level 50 I can build the team using that Battle Spot Doubles and then switch it when I've finished.
A little bar on the side of the teambuider to have a few notes about the team, such as possible changes for the team, what it is weak to if you just lost a game to it, etc. This will make it much easier to remember those things, instead of having like, yeah, I don't even know, a Word document about it?
In the teambuilder, it would be cool if there's a place where we can put notes about the pokemon, such as what the current EVs are designed to do. Sometimes I forget what each of my rotom-w's are meant to survive, so this would be really helpful.
It would be even cooler if we can see these notes during a battle when we hover over our pokemon, right below the current PP of moves. Add a size limit or something so that it doesn't fill the whole screen lol.

I've been on a smaller server for a while now. The amount of people on there likes to vary somewhere between a handfull and a little bit over thirty. Additionally, battles are started manually, which renders the "Look for a battle"-button pretty much useless. Another thing, is, that I'm not particularly a fan of constantly switching between that server and the one where the actual stuff happens.
That pretty much lead me to the thought, that having some kind of plugin, that allowed the "Look for a battle"-button to include other servers as well, would be a really cool thing to have. Fortunately, usernames are defined globally, anyway, so at least that part shouldn't be much of an issue.

I have a small pet peeve with watching replays, the default play button is with the music on and there is a small "play with music off" on the bottom. Why can't the replay use your current preferences for music on PS? I always forget and click play and the music catches me off guard lol
Using Command + F (Mac) or Control + F (Windows) will allow you to find your name on the ladder easily.
Yes I know this, but it finds more searches if your active in the lobby/chat I'm just saying seems like something that should have already possibly been implemented on PS.
I think that Showdown should show in battle whenever an ability is changed.
Maybe this isn't the correct way to say it but let me give an example.
I was playing a random battle against a Banette-Mega. This Banette used Shadow Claw against my Cofafrigus, and became Mummy.
The next turn, my Gligar used toxic, then he used Taunt. We both were confused on why Taunt didn't go first with Prankster (which was still showed when hovering our mouse on his Banette), until we found out it was because of Mummy.
So I think that Showdown should show that the ability is no longer Prankster but Mummy instead. I suppose that this is not implemented either for things like Simple beam, skill swap etc. and that it should be done for them too :)
Thanks in advance

It might not show when you hover over it, but during the battle it does say when mummy changes the ability. If you look at the battle log for that turn it'll be there.
Emojis are banned on PS.
I think that a way to show that certain move combinations/ability combos are illegal/vice versa would be good. It's a little annoying to say, slap Soft-Boiled on an Unaware Clef only to find it's illegal.
It would be helpful if we implemented a School/College room. A number of our younger members are in high school who may have aspirations to attend college or have questions about high school extracurriculars. Some of our senior members are attending or have attended university and can give ample guidance for our younger members. Zarel

I have a suggestion for the Damage Calculator. Could we have an option that would automatically set all pokemon to the desired level? (5/50/100/custom for example). It gets tiring after a while (especially in the middle of the battle) to manually correct the levels every time. Especially since some sets are lvl 50 while others are at 100.
Isn't there a room called 'Scholastic' for that?eaglehawk said:

I have two suggestions.
1. Would it be possible to stop searching for battles after hitting the cancel button on the ladder? It's really annoying when you accidentally hit the button, then cancel it, but then get a battle anyways.
2. A UI to code HTML in, especially for room intros. Either this, or the ability for PS to accept code written on a number of lines (The command only applies to the line it's on). Adding roomintros using the normal chat box can be really annoying and confusing.
You can always use a tool such as Notepad++ and then remove all the extra spaces and tabs. To make that easier, you could active the paragraph symbols
