Suggestions

[MTKEEGAN]

Hey, Zarel.
I suggested this suggestion box, so I'll start with some basic ones.
PS- I am gregor/sinister act

1. Have a group below voiced that only has moderated talk.
2. Have a (edit: seperate)chat for lower-voiced and up, so that others can converse on without the mod chat restrictions.
3. Upgrade various random people to test out new lower-voiced to admins.
4. Team builder is perfect. Do not change it at all. ;)
5. Make a /list command to find a list of all commands
6. Ask for help sometimes!
7. Be more active with randoms
8. Fix the ladders
9. Try and inform us with times more than just 'sometime today'.
10. Listen to everybody's opinion, and don't be biased.
11. Remember you are doing an amazing job.

12. THIS ONE IS BIG!!
Instead of just having a name on your account, I think we should have bios, battle preferences, activity, avatars, and more general information about person.
Remember, a name doesn't explain someone very well.
13. Email updates??
14. Pokemon Showdown ONLY forum?
15.Set up voiced+ vs regular users tourneys.
16. Get people to help code?
17. Assign a group for people who take suggestions and try and make them possible.
18. More disciplinary actions.
19. Have a designated person to take info about people who offended them and have the 'counselor' figure out a just punishment.
20. Take constructive criticism.

That's All Folks!

Great ideas except number 4, how awesome would it be to creat a pokemon and use it on a bunch of teams, like you could have a box like in the games! :D

That was posted almost two years ago ?.?

also have a tool to create your own pokemon like CAP (stats, type, moves) and have mods review them and maybe make them actual CAP if they wanted

If isn't that simple. There's a CAP Forum where you can go.

with CAP they have organized polls and submissions. what i mean is like a rom hack tool implemented in the site to make new pokemon whenever u wanted

This isnt really the place for fakemons, CAP Project is something different

i got banned for a couple of days for saying diggersby tho in a couple of chatrooms (it wasnt an unjust banning, it was my fault) but i got banned from the whole website. my suggestion is instead of banning from the whole website for getting banned from chatrooms too much, people should only not be able to talk for a few days but still be able to battle

If you got banned for saying diggersby tho, i'd assume you got banned by a bot (C.H.A.D Bot or boTTT), but they cant global ban you as they arent global mods, so it must be a Global mod that banned you, and they wouldnt ban you just for saying that. Like Kangaaroo said, you can post in the discipline appeals if you think you didnt deserve that.

I don't know if this would be simple to implement but it'd be nice. When a tournament is running, occasionally I will click on the "In-progress" link seen here and I will get redirected to the game, but it reloads PS entirely and forces me to rejoin all of the rooms I am in, unlike if I clicked on a battle start notification or opened the battle by clicking on their username then the room. Could we make it so it doesn't have to reload the window?

There's a Tournaments Script suggestion thread you can find on the Pokemon Showdown! Sub-forums.

Yeah Zeb I think that's a known bug and it's being worked on :)

X and Y battle backgrounds.

A /staff command linking to http://www.smogon.com/sim/staff_list seems like it'd be pretty useful and easy to do.

 

[Daiquiri]

I think it'd be useful to have battle formats like "vgc 2014" or other search categories like "fully evolved" (fe) to narrow the dexsearch list for easier use.

I agree, "fully evolved" or something to that effect would greatly narrow the list of desired results. Tagging TalkTakesTime

Not sure if this was already a thing when we talked about it, but "fullyevolved" is a search category (if it was sorry for the dumb tag).

A couple of things I would love to see implemented.

• Update the small team preview sprites from BW to XY
• When looking for a battle to watch, list the two player's ladder ranking

You could just do /rank username to see their ranks,

 

[Xylen]

You really think I want to do that for every single player until I find a decent battle? By then their battle will be over. Makes no sense.

It's kinda a pointless feature.

 

[Daiquiri]

I like the idea of showing people's ranks in Watch a Battle. Maybe not their individual ranks but an average of the two. Or even have the option to sort them by rank. Any way would give you an idea of the people you are going to watch.
But hey, this is still a forum, please be nice and respect each other or the point is lost and we get nowhere.

I second this, this would be a very helpful feature added into Showdown.

Also I want to bring up the Friend List option on Showdown. It would be nice to have all your friends on Showdown in one list where you can know if they are online or not. Much more convenient than searching up everyone's names.

The friends list has been suggested a ton and one has been fully developed. However, the developers decided that PS must be optimized more before putting it on.

Ah I see, then keep up the good work! :)

When you make a move set for a specific pokemon and it says that a certain move is incompatible with another move or ability, it would be nice and convienient for it to specify which move or ability it is incompatible with so that you don't have to play a guessing game.

 

[LunarWolf21]

I would like to suggest having at least 1 default moveset for each Pokemon, so someone could setup a game quickly without having to build each Pokemon from scratch. Kind of like the rental Pokemon from Pokemon Stadium. If this is not a feature worth the time, then just don't pay any mind to this suggestion. Thank you.

/learn Pokemon, move1
/learn Pokemon, move2
/learn Pokemon, move3
/learn Pokemon, move4

Check for inconsistencies and you'll find the incompatibility.

You can easily look up a pokemon's sets for B/W on http://www.smogon.com/bw/pokemon/ and on the forums you can search for your X and Y pokemon of choice and easily find some decent sets. Its all about making an effort

 

[GoldenSandslash15]

Make the PS sprites/models correspond to the game.

i.e. For Gen 1 games, use Gen 1 sprites. For Gen 2 games, use Gen 2 sprites. Etc.

We have all the sprites ready on the sim, this is fully intended to happen.

It's only a matter of someone going in and programming it, which is low priority.

 

[Arhops]

Could you guys implement a thing like Gmail has for their inboxes where the tab shows you have like 1 new message or in showdowns case 1 new highlight or challenge?
