Suggestions for Pokémon Showdown

[Aeonic]

Would it be possible to add the ability to retroactively add alts to a user with a logged ban/bl in a room? It gets somewhat annoying when you want to check something in /sp or /showbl and there are 20 alts of one evader clogging everything up. Also the /blacklistname command doesn't properly add alts sometimes, so being able to easily fix that would be neat.

Change how challenges are laid out so that challenges received aren't identical to challenges sent. Have had too many instances where both my opponent and I have challenged at the same time and either resulted in using the wrong team or even getting two battles up at the same time.

Perhaps something like putting the accept and reject buttons for challenges received above the team while the challenge and cancel buttons for sending challenges remain below the team?

Could there be a zmove/!zmove parameter added to /ms?

Can there be a tie option where both players have to agree to tie, I have been in way too many 1000 turn stall fests lol

This is being worked on here.
It was merged and will be live within the next server restart,

Hey, I was wondering if it would be possible to make an iOS Pokémon Showdown app.

From the OP of this thread, which is otherwise great to read for common suggestions that others have already suggested before you:

Common suggestions in which the answer is complicated:

- Mobile app (we'll make the web app better and more mobile-app-like, but a real mobile app is not happening)

So, the web address should be functional on mobile browsers (unlike, say, non-YouTube Flash videos and games)?

It does, yes

Hey, i suggest a private room list that all users can see.
I alredy asked this, but the people respond me that some rooms want to be private. Then i suggest the opcion to the RO to add their room to the list or not.

well, the issue with that is that a list of private rooms really rather defeats the purpose of them being private.

Well, rooms that wish to remain private can state their desire to remain private or be hidden rooms. I forget what the difference was, but I'm pretty sure they are different things.

Take the Board Games room, for example. If they wanted to be a properly "private" room, then there probably wouldn't be a publicly visible event for them in the News, as we have currently.

 

[Kalalokki]

Hidden rooms function essentially the same as public rooms, with global ranks and rules still in place in them, and they're often either subrooms to a bigger room or being ran very much alike to a public room. Private rooms are often just private hangouts of friends, where you often can't even join them without being invited there first, so there's not going to be a list of them public to others as they're private for a reason.

 

[sumwun]

In that case, can Showdown! users see a list of hidden rooms?

Could Return and Frustration show their base powers when mousing over your party members? It would really help Hackmons Cup players.

We now have a Suggestions Forum! I skimmed through every post in this thread and moved those with 4 or more likes into their own thread in the new forum, provided it was actually a suggestion, hasn't been done yet, and isn't already on a list of things to be done. This left surprisingly few suggestions, so if your suggestion fits those criteria and wasn't moved, please consider reposting it as a thread in the new forum! And make sure to read the stickied thread first!
