The models that were added to Showdown are a cool addition, but I don't know why, sometimes I feel like I want the gen 5 sprites back. And what about those gen 6 fan-sprites? People put work into those, and I would love to see them in action outside of the team building preview. Do you think an option that lets you view the old sprites in battle would be a neat addition?

Zarel, there are a lot of problems with the Pokemon Showdown app, such as the music not playing, not being able to link to your battle, and not being able to paste any text whatsoever. Is there any way to fix these problems?
We really need to be able to like profile posts and conversation posts because having to add an alert to everyone by having to type ^ is not very fun.
That'd be cool, maybe it could be like the AFD server http://showdown-afd.psim.us/
This isn't the place to ask about Smogon-related suggestions. You can go to the Suggestion Box, which I believe is in the Contributions subforum.
It keeps bothering me that when you're in a battle you can only see 2 rooms. Even if you're in like 4.
My suggestion is to move the room tabs to another spot so we can see if we get highlighted in other rooms that are not on the screen.
And an option to move the order of the rooms you're in would be much appreciated as well.
We'll see how far this goes.

As pokemon showdown is getting quite large, I think there should be an increase to the ladder. Top 500 when there's usually ~9000 people online seems quite small. Maybe this isn't necessary for all tiers. I think it'd be fun to see horrible rankings like say 8327th place in OU - it would show off the large amount of users and encourage competition for rankings.
(I am in the top 300 rand bats - I'm not suggesting this because I can't get a ranking.)

While it seems impractical to have a list go to something like 8000, it may be a cool feature to add that when you do /rank to a user or to yourself. Ie if I do /rank I'll get the Format, Elo, GXE, Glicko-1, COIL, W, L, T but also # which would be some number of how you compare to everyone else.
Nice Idea and you have come to correct place in my opinion i would love it if it would be there
This has been requested multiple times. And several people gave it a try. But they either stopped or failed to make one. You'll have to be patient for another person who knows things about coding and such.
Wow, um, i'd like to see the Middle Cup room back! I loved that tier so much and ever if it doesn't become a tier it would be a hell of a room! It would bring something new to the meta game and i just feel like it would be interesting to see how it would develop with the X and Y changes. :)
The Other Metas room acts as the room for all OMs. There's no need to create this.
Four things :3
1) A command, or area of the site where you can view different user's profiles. There could be ladder stats, their bio, and chosen replays for a given person.
/profile
/profile [user]
2) A friend system! I think that this could just be cool to have, and useful.
/friend [user] (add/delete)
/friend list
3) Custom backgrounds, or at least some more cool ones. When you go to select one of the defaults, you could add a "Import" button.
4) An area in which you can type up an application for rank. There would be a lot of default questions, and requirements. So if you just joined, you can't already apply. Here's some question defaults.
a) Which room are you applying for? [select one]
b) What rank are you applying for? [select one]
c) Why do you want to be ranked?
d) What can you contribute to the server?
e) If any, what experience do you have with rank? ( On or off PS )
f) Do you know how to use your power correctly? [yes / no]
Then you would send it in, wait, and receive an email or something stating if you did or did not get accepted.
Thanks for reading ^-^

I actually agree to this! It seems like the friend system would be awesome, but maybe too much for the system to handle? An option to turn off requests would be cool too.
1. There are profiles like this already, but they could be expanded with replays I suppose.
2. Quinella has completed it, but it would currently put too much strain on the server.
3. It has been suggested, but I don't know if it's in the works.
4. This will never happen. Follow the Staff FAQ and you should be on the right track. Sometimes we release "mod applications" as jokes, but we'll never do them properly.
Woah, i actually got something right! xD Showdown has a too smaller system atm.
Staff is decided on by the other staff. Applications like this are pretty much asking for auth (which is advised against) and would change the promotion system entirely, when the one we have is fine. Also there would be so many applications to go through and most of them would be by either users we've never seen and don't know if they're telling the truth about being good users, so this wouldn't really work. It's a nice idea, but I don't think it's an efficient way to promote people if all we have to go off of is an application. Like Vacate said, just follow the staff FAQ and try to be the best user you can be.
Yeah, an expansion was that I was going for. I was thinking about a more "relaxed" feel to the profiles. You could maybe have a little status, and list current battles, exc.
Ah, server strain makes sense. Do you think that something could be implemented like a Favorite Users thing? It'd put a little symbol alongside their names in the chats, and maybe have a tab. There you could see your favorites list, and it would show if the users were online, or offline. Just an idea, as I know that a lot of people want a friend system :c
Ah. Thank you!
Don't know if this has been suggested or not, but it would be cool to see a random tiered battle, ie a random OU ladder, a random UU ladder etc with teams made for each tier....
Good idea, but you should remention that here. You'll have a better chance of being noticed, and it's specifically for new metagame ideas. Try and add more details, and you'll probably get a strong thread running.

Hi people. c:
I don't know if this was ever suggested or not, but I think there should be a /data command for natures.
A lot of people ask what X nature does, and for a lot of new users, it would be really helpful! For example, /data timid nature or something can bring up "This nature adds Speed and lowers Attack" or something similar!

I had a command like this on my server coded by blizzardq. I could look into putting it onto the main server
Edit: I asked BlizzardQ if I could add the command and he said it was fine, so I made a pull request.
Edit 2: The command as rejected, but hopefully it will be implemented into /data in the future.
