That one is a little unfair. If you've ever played with a crappy connection, you'd be peeved off too.
And Microsoft tried that too... worked like a charm :D
can you please try to make a rotation battle mode

Mmm... I understand but the IPv6 contains the whole MAC Adress, and why is not visible in the server? they need to improve his Software, banning cookies helps because no much people knows how to delete it, cookies punishments is a great idea but I think is already added because in the Privacy Policy says that "PS! uses cookies to apply punishments" so I need to ask Staff if this is true (HoeenHero) thank you for help.
PostData: VPN users really don´t need the priviledge to play, mostly of that users evade bans, and the whole evaders uses VPN to harrass staff (when locked is the only thing you can do), so is best that PS! apply an autoban instance of an autolock.
PostData2: IPv6 punishments is the next step to stop evading (is really easy to evade).
So yes, we may use both, though IPs are far more reliable than cookies (even with their flaws).PS Privacy Policy said:
On IPv6 addresses: Not everyone has an IPv6 address, so i'm unsure how feasible it is to use them at this time.
I'm very aware that evasion is possible, and how it works. Though we do what we can to prevent evasion (such as autolocking VPNs).
On VPNs: Not all VPNs are used to evade, and for those who do try to evade end up unable to speak in chats. Staff members can, and do, ignore or ban locked users who spam their PMs. We feel this prevents them from causing trouble. If one or more staff members feel this should be changed, they can propose a change of policy in the staff forums and/or room.
Hi !! I have a minor suggestion for the Custom Battles, and it is allow to customize the pokemon's stats with the IVs and EVs, let me explain:
Similar to how you can edit the Import/Export text and have a level 9999 pokemon, you can edit EVs and IVs, increasing them to any number, and see what new stats it gives to the pokemon.
But if you start the Custom Battle, using the mon with the edited EVs and IVs, those new stats don't keep with the poke.
This is because if the EVs > 252 then they equal 252, and if the IVs > 31 then they equal 31, the same applies if the IVs and EVs are negative numbers, in that case they are equal to 0, you can't have such thing as ±300 EV or ±200 IV in a battle.
I think it would be great and super fun if this were implemented for the Custom Battles, after all you can have 24 pokemons in a battle with 24 moves and other crazy stuff right now, and I think this function would be more useful than being able to use a level 9999 mon.
(by the way, I apologize if there is already a way to do all this, I find nothing when I search).
I would also like being able to edit the pokemon type in the Import/Export text, just for the Custom Battles.

IT used to be possible in BW however, with the "wonderr launcher" mode. If you don't remember, I won't blame you, this mode F* sucked.
Why one? True masters play 3+at once at all times! Wich by the way, please, make the windows a little more efficient. For example, WHY IN HELL you have to press Fly/Outrage/whatever you are using that spans multiple turns twice? It's not like you have a choice to do anything else!
OH, and add an option to either challenge yourself or allow a player to open two accounts at the same time. This would make testing for bugs and exploring new strategies and combos WAY easier.

Emphasis on normal I guess.
Open an incognito window, private window, or another browser. You will be able to login with a different name then.

Sadly, when /kick got removed, /die (kicks yourelf out and leaves a funny message) got removed too.
Wish they re-implemented it, and make the message only visible to the user so people won't spam it to troll anymore.
That said, a fake /kick (maybe a /kill, to resonate with the good ol' /die) command, only putting a message mentioning that whoever you /kill'ed died in a random way, would be a good idea to implement too.
We don't really need joke commands serverside.
An RP room, but specifically for dark-themed RPs. For people who like darker storylines but don't wanna interfere with the more lighthearted ones in the regular AmphyRP room.
The RP room and its subrooms are closing July 1st, can read more about it here.
make a way to have /ionext always on
I would like to suggest that PS application has the ability to change where the Teams Folder is located, maybe during installation if not in the options. Its something I truly believe a clean and professional application should have. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Can you make brackets viewable on mobile.
Make it so if the mobile looses signal, you don't instantly forfeit the match.
And revise the goddamn RNG... I swear it does not work the way it should. I volunteer to take a look at it myself if needed. That video game programmer degree is not just for show.

Players have 60 seconds to reconnect after disconnecting, or less if the regular timer was under 60. (If the timer was on in the first place.) We do this so that matches without a player have an end point.
PS code is open source, heres the RNG code link if you want to check it yourself. https://github.com/Zarel/Pokemon-Showdown/blob/master/sim/prng.js
As silly as this suggestion may sound, I would like for this to some day become a reality.
I am requesting for a new room that is the Theatre room.
This room is for those who want to immerse themselves within performing arts. This is a room for those who are actors and dancers and want to have casual discussion on their careers or if they would like to be more in depth. This room aspires to:
This concludes the post. I hope this receives some recognition. We may be a small community, but we are the strongest workers in our craft.

- Provide tips on acting and dancing technique and how to improve it.
- Offer advice on auditions, to explain what to do and what NOT to do at an audition, and to recommend songs that compliment your voice.
- Give fellow thespians a safe space for them to discuss their current issues within the show business.
- Confess about the recent Broadway and Hollywood news.
- Talk about musicals, plays, and movies that really showcase some brilliant actors and dancers and to also just have casual conversation on them.
- Allow freedom and creativity within the serious profession of theatre.
- Promote positivity and encourage fellow users in the chat to help each other out on acting and dancing.

Suggestion: in the same vein as my previous proposal, I suggest as small change for the old formats the replacement of current menu sprites (since the gen 6) by oldest (gen 3 to 5). This 2012 replay clearly shows that menu sprites was replaced at the arrival of XY (and they were motionless, unlike the cartridge). If we want to optimize all the way, we can even use menu sprites of gen 2 (see this battle in Crystal) and gen 1 (see this battle in Yellow). But it's more controversial to install because they are only 37 for 251 mons in gen 2 and only 11 for 151 mons in gen 1 (the risk of confusion between mons in the interface of the Showdown battles is important). To better visualize all that, I created here the list of mons by menu sprites (for compare between generations). And finally, here we have the image bank of these famous files.

Please make a way so that in custom games you can rename moves (similar to how you can make your pokemon lvl 9999) like go into import export but next to the move right the name you want your move to be. i made one just as an example and it would be more fun because you can make theme teams
example:
ness (Arcanine)
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Bashful Nature
- Toxic (pk cross)
- Agility (pk thunder)
- Flamethrower (pk fire)
- Dig (pk shield)
of course you can bame moves whatever you want i just personally wanted my arcanine to be like ness.... and i think this would be really cool and people would really like it

Is there a way for the battle timer to not be controlled by a single user? I've had some games where the my opponent would turn off the timer and turn back on the timer really quickly to refresh the timer and give himself extra time. I think a better modification for the PS layout would be that once a timer is turned on, neither player can touch it. I feel that this makes the most sense and hopefully this appeal gets through
I have experienced similar things before, as well as not being able to turn off timer when the opponent started it even though they are lagging and I wanted to wait.
Something I think might work as a solution is either player can switch off the timer, but only after they make their move - this means you can't turn off the timer to waste more time because if the opponent has made a choice then the turn happens when you click a move and if not then it isn't a waste of time because neither player has moved. Idk maybe I missed a problem with this approach though.
