I am not sure if this has been mentioned before or how much work it would take to implement. But I think you guys should make an IOS app for mobile devices. I would pay for it if there was such a thing.
You can run PS in the iOS browser, making an app would take a lot of time and effort which is currently being spent on other things (such as gen 6).
Sorry if this was already asked (im not searching 43 pages), but could there possibly be a way to organize the team list better? I have a lot of teams (like... a lot) and going through the stack is annoying when I am in a rush. This could be solved by the ability to drag the individual teams up and down to sort them or by an optional folder system. As an organized person, this would be really awesome for me, and I am sure others would enjoy this as well.
Sorry if this was already asked, but could we update this Hidden Power move animation, like:
Thanks!
HP Normal: Current Hidden Power animation
HP Fighting: Focus Blast
HP Fire: Flamethrower
HP Grass: Leaf Storm
HP Ice: Ice Beam
HP Bug: Bug Buzz
HP Dark: Dark Pulse
HP Dragon: Dragon Pulse
HP Flying: Air Slash
HP Ghost: Shadow Ball
HP Ground: Earth Power
HP Poison: Sludge Bomb
HP Psychic: Psyshock
HP Rock: Ancient Power
HP Steel: Flash Cannon
HP Water: Surf
HP Fairy: Moonblast
HP Fighting: Focus Blast
HP Fire: Flamethrower
HP Grass: Leaf Storm
HP Ice: Ice Beam
HP Bug: Bug Buzz
HP Dark: Dark Pulse
HP Dragon: Dragon Pulse
HP Flying: Air Slash
HP Ghost: Shadow Ball
HP Ground: Earth Power
HP Poison: Sludge Bomb
HP Psychic: Psyshock
HP Rock: Ancient Power
HP Steel: Flash Cannon
HP Water: Surf
HP Fairy: Moonblast

Problem here.
The type of hidden power is meant to be unknown to the opponent, if you get what I mean. Changing the animations would be a dead giveaway.
Eg. I want to fake hidden power fire on magnemite, when in reality I'm carrying Hp ice for gligar. Changing the animations would ruin the surprise
I suggested this a while ago and nobody responded: A display of each user's ACRE rating underneath their screen name in the "Watch Battles" menu. It would be great if I could find high-ranked players by just skimming through that menu, rather than manually checking each person's rating, which is a pain in the ass because I need to exit out of the menu in order to do that. Thanks!

See my Sig (In a nutshell, put gastrodon-east in PS). I understand that X and Y have to be coded in, but seriously, why hasn't this been done yet? Some of us like the east forme better. If not now, please do it when x and y have been fully implemented, if possible. Thanks.
it would be incredibly easy to make this on a custom server, although i can see it being incredibly spammy and thus implausible on main
The only formes that are implemented on the server actually have competitive differences from their other formes (see: Rotom formes having different movepools, stats, and typing; Basculin formes having different abilities; Kyurem formes having different stats). Gastrodon, Sawsbuck, Unown, (maybe more but those are the ones that come to mind), are purely aesthetic and thus make no difference in terms of battling, and as far as I know, there's no plan to add them for this very reason. If I'm wrong on that, they're at least very, very low priority, and you can survive with pink Gastrodon until then.
Okay, I understand.
It is to ease prediction, so technically it isn't useless.
Technically, Keldeo-R is required if you want to use it with one of the Therians in BW2. I'm not sure how X and Y will handle Keldeo-R, as is true with everybody else.
Someone reminded me of a really really ancient IRC bot that played Pokemon that had one fun mode in particular.
It had a custom made Pokemon called Randhax that changed each of its four moves to a random one every turn. So we would have Randhax battles (often four players, 2vs2) and have the greatest time, especially since a ton of the moves in the bot were made up (it was also a custom Pokemon project thing) so we would make the bot lag by looking up every move. Good times.
Seeing Randhax return on Pokemon Showdown would be totally amazing. Just a custom Pokemon that changes each of its moves and I guess its dual type/ability/item if we want to make it extra hilarious to a random new one every turn.
Obviously it would be banned from the regular ladder.

that sounds fantastic, but I don't know how easy it would be to implement. Joim The Immortal if you've got time/care to, it'd be sweet if that could be looked into. Tagging you because it sounds very OM-esque.
Variety for the sake of variety is not indicative of a greater level of strategy. If I want to run a sub/disable gengar as well as a blissey, am I really supposed to use something other than lefties on one of them, just for the sake of variety?
Clauses are there to prevent people relying on luck, or using overpowered things. Neither of these are the case with items. I generally use 4-5 different items on a team (usually 2 lefties, and often 2 life orbs), so it's not much of an issue for me, but not once have I ever been frustrated in a game thinking "Oh my god, this guy has lefties/life orb on everything. This makes this battle far less fun, and he has an unfair advantage because of it."
Two other things:
-It would be nice if you could choose which side to view a battle from, whether it be live or in a replay.
-It would be helpful to have descriptions of the rules for each format available somewhere obvious in the simulator, especially with the formats that change frequently.
Yeah, that'd be an OM (that I would aprove), the only problem is that it wouldn't be easy to do that. Let me run some tests first and I'll tell you on IRC if it's easily implementable, Treecko. Just keep me pinging about it just in case xD
Any chance of Contrary being banned on the Snivy line in Pokebank OU? Since it hasn't been released.
noticed that there is an updated gen 6 calc out now. It would be nice if the !calc command could redirect to this one instead
