Suggestion: allow users locked on the same IP to PM each other.

Pro: allows users in schools to continue to talk to each other (a common point in school lock appeals) when "that guy" gets the entire school locked.
Con: "that guy" can harass the other users at the school free of penalty.

Command /Highlight Autojoin
Moderator Only (Private rooms would easily be discovered if not)

What does it do: Automatically Redirects the moderator to rooms that his/her highlights are said that are listed (not the moderators name).
What is the purpose: Moderators can easily find Porn links, Commonly said spam phrases and other things by putting them on highlight
Using the command once turns it on, to turn it off type the command again.

Like I told you in PM before you posted this, no staff would use this. Imagine trying to talk in a room and then every minute or so you get autojoined into a room while in the middle of typing something else. Or perhaps someone starts spamming lobby and right as you're about to ban them, you get joined into another room and they get away with an entire 5 seconds more of spam (which would be a lot of lines). Some staff have "mods" and variations of it on highlight so we'd get joined into a room every time someone mentions mods or staff. You aren't staff so I'm not sure you'd get how annoying it would be in actuality. Room staff can usually deal with trolls anyway.

I don't know if it was already asked but when we choose a team in teambuilder and after have click on "Team List" we are directed each time at the beginning of our teams this which is very boring if we have a lot teams, every time up and down ...
Is it possible to do something to stay where we are when we click on "team list"?
 
I have two (hopefully) considerable suggestions:
1. Team Folders, this would be nice for competitive players with dozens of team to organize their teams in folders (probably off of tiers).
2. A three-way or more PM chat. i know there's skype and chatting sites and such, but not everyone has skype, more less chatzy or something of the sort. i think it would also be very convenient for FFA's (free for all's) and staff chats, because atm our non third party alternative for having a multiple user chat is creating a battle and chatting in there.

thanks for hearing me out. n.n
 
I'd like to see a friend register sort of thing, so you send a request and they can accept or even block them from sending further requests. You could see when they're online and it would make it easier to find them. I think it would be fun to be able to add people who i make friends with on there so we could battle again.
 
This would be really helpful for me: Putting in a command called /strong. what it does is show you the types that the typing or move (in the case of flying press) that it is strong (super effective) against, weak (not very effective) against, and things it can't touch (immunities). I don't want to go to bulbapedia to look up everything that resists flying!

TI edit: /coverage

Done

There should be a command that is just for one room, so you can take off highlights in that single room. do /highlights off. something along those lines. for the rooms you wish to lurk in. I think that would be quite helpful.
 
hi, not a big thing, but when using /dt attack , add the gen when it was added.
Ex: /dt body slam

Body Slam
Power
85Accuracy
100%PP
2430% chance to paralyze the ta

I might have said this before, but I'll say it again, it would be extremely helpful if you could drag the chat room tabs to reorder your rooms. I often use it in chrome and it is just very helpful for a few reasons. Primarily, you can order your rooms in a way that you like and are familiar with, and when your rooms get out of order accidentally or by redirect, you can just reopen it and drag it back to place. Another reason would be that when you are in a battle, the sidebar only shows a couple rooms, so you could bring one over that you wanted to monitor.

Dex search update
/ds Special attack/Attack> 110 should work, what that would do is search for Pokémon with over 110 Attack OR Special Attack
this could also work with moves ex /ds Mach Punch/Vacuum Wave
another idea is that you could do this
/ds Special attack/Attack > 110 (1-2), Vacuum Wave, Mach Punch (1-2)
the 1 links with Special Attack and Vacuum Wave
the 2 links with Attack and Mach punch
So the search displays all Pokémon with 110 special attack and Vacuum Wave or 110 attack and Mach Punch.
 
Small idea but I think it would be helpful if you could save PM's or conversations you had. An example is when you log off instead of having to track down the user you were talking to you can continue your conversation where you picked up from. This would help me when I am trying to help someone build a team but I have to go offline for a little and then come back online only to see that my conversation or pm is gone.

edit: if this feature is already in showdown then I am sorry and if so can someone correct me and help me out.

I've been wanting to add an OR operator for a long time but that is rather challenging. It would require changing much of the structure of the current command and also would need to have some restrictions to avoid causing too much lag to the server due to the number of iterations over the dex it would need to do. I've been working on some optimizations in preparation for this so hopefully it will happen one day! Maybe not soon but I'm trying to get there! :'3
 
Would like to recommend a command that hides the battle links listed when you click on a users name. Being a member of staff in both public and private rooms means that I constantly have people joining and talking in my game which can be really off putting and annoying at times, and also usually forces me to to do "/hiddenroom". Adding this command is an easy way to avoid users constantly having to use commands every game they play and also allows them to play on there main account without disturbances. Kind of a minor issue, but would greatly appreciate it if it was implemented!

/Battles Hide
/Battles show
in battle, i believe you can do /modjoin to hide your battle and do various other features.
 
I am aware of "/modjoin", but This command would prementental hide your battles (another command would be used to disable this) without the constant need of using a command every battle to do so and would also enable you to hide your battles whilst on your mobile device!
Ah I see, that would be quite helpful, especially for administrators & people on top of the user list to keep their battles private.
 
Ah, finally i find a suggestions for PS thread!
so i have 2 Suggestions.
  1. Add an offline fearure where instead of battling other people, you battle AIs, robots, etc
  2. If your working on a gen 1 team, only show gen 1 pokes, and moves avaliable, etc. lel i just saw you guys were working on this on another post. :/
Thanks! i hope you guys can do these things That one thing!
 
One of my (many) gripes with PS is that it doesn't indicate that you've found a battle.

This is particularly an issue with old gens due to the fact that the ladders are relatively inactive- finding a battle takes so long that it's natural to just do other stuff while waiting for a battle. When you do find a battle, you'll often not notice it.

So even if it just flashed where it appears in the taskbar would be good also a teambuilder that isn't total ass (not just talking old gens either)

Edit @ below: Woops, didn't know that, sorry for wasting your time then

edit2: help i am retard and cannot get the thing to work

If you have desktop notifications active it says "Your Turn" or something like that when it starts :/
