Rejected Officially Implement Sample Teams in teambuilder

[PokeChess]

I believe a lot of people ask for sample teams quite often in tier rooms like OU, UU, etc. I think it's a good idea to have a session below the Ladder button or inside TeamBuilder or somewhere in Showdown, a place where sample teams of different tiers are placed, making life easier for the player and the staff.

A similar idea is that sample teams are already built into TeamBuilder as usual (being part of the team build itself, it may be more viable for developers to apply the idea). Thus, you will be able to change the tier on the ladder and select which team you want to use. This could even increase the frequency of matches in lower tiers, because it would require a minimum effort for everyone to play that tier if just selects the format between Uber, OU, UU, RU, NU, PU, ZU, LC, etc, and the person will have the option to select which team to play. And best of all...no matter where you access the Pokémon Showdown website from, you'll always have sample teams at your disposal for quick play without having to enter any room (and this legitimately increases the practicality of playing tiers on mobile).

Have a place for the team of the week, also within TeamBuilder. Some box for example. These boxes can be updated automatically in everyone's TeamBuilder.

I really believe that it would be beneficial and would optimize to incorporate sample teams in the TeamBuilder in an official way, without having to copy and paste teams. This idea can be over-created/adapted in any way that is best for everyone to enjoy.

UPDATE: To clarify, it's like opening the Pokémon Showdown and already having in your teambuilder teams samples from different tiers (it would be the default).

Important additions to be said. That would remove the explanatory text from the team, correct? correct. So an additional addition would be to put an explanatory text along with each team, in the teambuilder. I'm not so clear on what's harder and what's easier, in general terms, when it comes to programming. But an explanatory text somewhere might not be too complex to make, but I'm not sure.

Another way to approach this too:

Just have a link to the forum post with the team. That way you can import the sample team but if you want more information on how to actually use it, its also right there. If there was a button to say import the team in the team builder, maybe have another with the forum post about how to use the team.

Another way too, keep my idea and put in the title of the teambuilder team a link to the pokepast explaining the team, or to the post on smogon. Or even create a redirect, similar with smogon's automatic sets in team builder.

This idea can be adapted in different ways, but in the end, the end goal is to somehow optimize the sample teams and make them more accessible.

Just use /sampleteams in chat.
Closing since we have tools with similar functions.
