You already suggested this and got pointed that there are plans and technically is in progress, but I'm unsure if there is any ETA since it's clearly low priority as an old gens exclusive mechanic.

why are there so many suggestions that are still pending

Usually, the ones that are lower priority or even devs/staff are unsure if they are worth take longer to be evaluated. Furthermore, almost only the head devs actually give the green flags, and they are quite busy to continuously evaluate suggestions.

I think I just battled against a bot, is this true? If so, is it one of the Showdown bots that's supposed to be there or a third party?

Bots are allowed in Pokémon Showdown

Bots programmed to ladder and play battles are allowed! Generally, the only benefit they have over humans is how quickly they take actions in between turns, which doesn't give them any unfair advantage. That being said, bots created with the sole purpose of worsening player experience through things like mass forfeiting or spamming in the chat are still against the rules and should be reported to staff if encountered.
 
Hey guys, anyway I can reset my password for my smogon account and showdown as I got notified by my iphone that my password was in a data leak.

so uh when i'm spectating battles, it randomly says something like "chat set to +or another symbol" and then i can't talk anymore, why is this
Click to expand...

That's called modchat, users who aren't of that rank or higher will not be able to talk. In battles, players (which are denoted by their star symbol) can promote/demote users to voice. (Edit: Them, alongside staff members, are able to set modchat.)

/modchat [off/autoconfirmed/trusted/+/%/@/*/player/#/&] - Set the level of moderated chat. Requires: % ☆ for off/autoconfirmed/+/player options, * @ # & for all the options

You'll also find that this extends to rooms sometimes. Hope this helped!

I am trying to create a custom challenge for the Free For All format that unbans all of the banned Pokemon, Abilities, and Moves in the format. I went through the readme on the showdown github for the custom rules that I could use for unbans but the mass unbanning rules don't seem to work for me, only unbanning things one at a time. Can anyone help out and let me know which custom rule I can use to allow all the mons and moves in paldea?
 
Good evening, I'm wondering what the delay is with getting the ADV 200 ladder up on Showdown for this month's RoA spotlights? It's been several days and I find it hard to remember another time when we had to wait this long. Also, will the ladder continue for a few days into May to make up for lost time?
 
Hello, I'm wondering how you can do Anything Goes Multi Battles in showdown?
Or if there's any way to do that, I want to be able to do 6&6 v 6&6 battles with my friends, as well as not be limited by the regular battle rules
 
Is an update to the teambuilder gen 8 sprites currently planned? I'm aware that the gen 9 models are still in progress, but having all the gen 8 Pokemon with 3D models stuck as 2D in the builder is kind of unfortunate...
 
Is their any plan to allow players to just make a play list with in game music. some of these tracks I absolutely dont want to hear and would love if I could just select which ones I could have on a rotation.

id also really like to see games like Colosseum, XD, and PBR get added. and yes I get "you can just mute the music and add your own" but its not the same thing and you all know that
 
Hello! I have a pokemon showdown account under the name of "SpamtonGSpamton97". I have been longing for the name "Spamton" for a while now, since the account hasn't been active for a while. User "I am Obamna", Presumably an alt of DaWoblefet, due to me winning the Bulu Bash tourney, and "meeting obamna" being the prize, said " SpamtonGSpamton97, according to my contacts at the White House, the account in question was registered and last played in September 2021, roughly 3 years ago. Should you come to acquire the name 'Spamton' on Pokemon Showdown's affliate website, Smogon, you could ask for this username given its inactivity. " So, I was wondering, is this a possibility?

Hello, I have a few questions

1. Is it possible to embed a pokemon showdown window into a website?
2. Is it possible to have a link or a similar way to start a battle with an ai bot? (let's say, i have a showdown team and an ai bot to play against using that team, and made a website and with a button "start", on clicking that button, a window could open and a battle would start with the bot with whichever team you choose for yourself)
3.If yes, is there any api or library to do that or do I have to tweak the open sourced code to implement something like this?
