Not sure if this has already been suggested or not.. but perhaps for registered players have an option for a set gameplay. That way once they join, they don't have to scroll for their preferred gameplay each time. I.e: Always have it set to a Random Singles Battle once chosen by the user. Thanks. :)

I've probably suggested this already, but I forget. So...
In doubles formats (or in all formats), could you make "Hits Adjacent Foes" a searchable term in the search box, just like searching a Pokemon, move, ability, type. etc.? It would be extremely useful in doubles teambuilding.
Pokemon Showdown aims to emulate the cartridge games as closely as possible. There's no way in hell they would be nerfed.

total cockhead
dont lie to me
Is artificial intelligence something that can be added to showdown? I like being able to not rely on real people to play, and it would make it easier and faster to test.
You can just use an alt to test a new team. Simply use the command /nick followed by any username of choice. There are a few bots who battle, but I think it's mainly randomized formats, such as Random Battles, CC1v1, Hackmons cup etc.
this used to be a thing, but it was removed with the timer changes to make it harder to timerstall, so it’s unlikely to come back.

Gen 6 Ubers format.
this exists. It's just challenge/tournament only because it's not used very much.

Could they/we make it on the main battle selection choice, I'd be down to play. RoA might want in as well. I guess.
Old gen Ubers and UU ladders were removed due to being quite inactive. Instead we now have rotational Ubers/UU ladders - one will always be there and switch every month. If I didn't miscount, ORAS Ubers should be up during November.
We also host it occasionally in ROA tour nights (watch out for ORAS Saturday or Spotlight Sunday Ubers tour nights).
When offline, the validate button in the teambuilder does nothing. Making it reconnect and then validate would be good, or even just feedback like a popup saying "you can't validate while offline"
Multi Battles. iirc they said it was planned, and it's been around 3 years since then.

The DOU community has been having some discussion about public vs private tournament matches and some of the anxiety that can come with being watched live, and I had an idea for a permanent "Ignore Spectators" setting, so that people could play multiple games without having to click the button each time. This doesn't entirely relieve the anxiety of having spectators, and I know it's already just one click of a button, but this feels like something that could be nice to have. It would also let people ladder in peace, if they feel annoyed enough by people joining their ladder games. It's not really a huge deal (like I said, you just have to make one click" or something that is at all a high priority, but it could be something to consider simply as an ease of use thing.

Would it be possible to make all entries in battle chats automatically fit so that they don't require horizontal scrolling?
It's annoying having that scroll bar at the bottom of the chat for the entire battle whenever someone does any kind of !dt

Suggesting the ability to /hideroom after uploading a replay on accident from a public room, then have that said public replay be moved to private replays of that account.
For example, user A uploads a replay while the room is public. Replay is public. User A then uses /hideroom and uploads the replay once more. Now it's only private.

You have banned the subject "Friend List" from the chat. I wanted to know why but no one had a good answer to it and I wasn't allowed to talk about it anymore and was sent here. This suggestion has nothing to do with Friend List directly, but to do with PS's democracy, subject bans and auto-messaging.
When writing the words "Friend List" in the chat, an automated message appears:
"PS does not have a friends list feature, and there are no immediate plans to add them. Please do not talk about this subject in the help room."
This Indicates that you are not planning to add the feature, and we are not allowed to talk about it. If you don't see what's wrong with this principle, let me explain:
Democracy works pretty simple, if enough people want something and request it, the faster the change will appear. If the leaders tell the people; "it is now forbidden to talk about this subject, and we are not planning to change it." Then there is no democracy, and the people have been silenced.
I know now, after discovering this page, that you are in fact, actually working on the friend list, now that is a contradiction. Here are some direct suggestion: What about updating the automated message so that it says you are working on it instead? That way anyone who is asking about it get a proper answer that doesn't remove democracy. If you actually have no plans to add it, then here is another suggestion: You should really work on getting it fast, because it has been requested far too long and it would benefit the site considerably. If that is the case, you should also update the automated message to explain why you have decided to ban the subject, that way the person who asks understands why and is left without more questions. I still don't know the reason behind it.
Not being able to ask about this in the chat frustrated me, as this is important stuff. You should be able to talk about anything you need assistance with, without being told off. Complaints are important for progression, and dialogue creates discussion, which then again creates awareness. I hope someone will see the importance in this matter and give it some thought.

This is banned only from the Help Room. I can tell you as help staff, it’s mainly banned because it was asked way too much, contributes nothing, and it gets annoying to repeat - it’s much easier to give a default answer by automation. Discussion of a friends list isn’t banned elsewhere, and you can discuss elsewhere.
Edit: as I recall being told, the friends list is also on hold until a client refactor is complete.
Hello,
I had an idea about having a spectating mode where it watches random battles and when the battle completes, it will automatically switch to an in progress game or a game thats about to start. This would be great to watch if I am not able to interact with the browser every 2 minutes but still would like to watch the battles happening. You could even add filtering to it (Uber spectating only, OU spectating only, etc.) if you wanted in the future as well.

Would like to suggest making warns not stack if a reason is provided. Common examples include someone posting a link and getting lb'd twice or more. It's just a bit of a weird thing that it happens, though it's not really a high relevance issue beyond the modlog showing 2 warns when only 1 was infraction or issue was present.
Can someone update the Necrozma-Dusk-Mane picture!!!?and the graphic on it!!! and the PS [Pokemon showdown] site...!!!?? Like make it look really cool! And the Pokemon be picture perfect!!
If we had google cloud access, sure. Otherwise, yeah no.

Can Xerneas be banned from Gen 7 Random Battle? Even if it's the 1st slot it just wins most of the time due to the nature of Xerneas and most randomized Pokemon not being Ubers. (Obviously.) https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/battle-gen7randombattle-904778969 For example, even if it was his 1st party member, I would've lost die to the fact my team isn't prepared to fight the 2nd or 3rd best Pokemon in the game.
