I was able to understand that, and it seems like a fine ideal, but it might be a bit confusing for younger competitive battlers. Maybe have something to "dumb it down" a bit?Pokemon Showdown! and Smogon doesn't have it on site, but for the Glicko2 ratings you can see it here.
Noticing that PS! has been down for most of the day, I was wondering if maybe there was a way on the PS! forum here to indicate when it's down, why it's down (if you know/are willing to explain) and when you're expecting it to be back up. I think this kind of information would be very helpful if you could make it available. Maybe a 'current status' sticky on the forum or something like that. It would at least cut down on people posting threads asking if it's down, eh?
From what I know from IRC, another DDoS attack, this time on the server which allows people to come into the sim, or anything PS related for that matter, rather than the Smogon server. Apparently it was down midnight today, open for a short period of time about three or so hours ago, then got closed again for a reason I'm not 100% sure about. Zarel is working to get it fixed.ever since 9/22/12 around 6:00pm i have not bin able to get in the showdown servers i dont know if its a site problem or my computer bieng gay :/ plz respond if you have answers
I've suggested this myself before but mainly for tablet users (which have the chat turned off as default)Zarel, here are my ideas:
*Allow people to be able to not view the chat. Basically, allow each user to close their view of the chat. I know from fact that this feature has its merits.
I believe this has been suggested before, but not sure. The problem is making a new tier that's not a carbon copy of another one (or close e.g. suspect ou) takes time, so don't expect it to soon. Although I'm sure you could code it yourself and ask Zarel to put in your code which I believe has been done before.*Creation of a Middle Cup, where any #2 Pokemon in a 3-evolutionary Pokemon line (ie. Quilava, Pupitar) is allowed to participate. All Pokemon are level 50 or lower, because Deino evolves into Zweilous at level 50. The only Ubers banlist I can think of right off the bat is Chansey, and maybe Pikachu as well.
This will eventually be implemented and has been suggested many many many (many) times before. However this is quite difficult to code as the battle engine needs to be half redone for it to work. Things such as bugs with wonder room and such are a priority for the moment.*Double and Triple Battles are available.
Since PS! is now affiliated with Smogon, this really isn't a Zarel decision, it's a Smogon decision. The decision to create an official tier is up to the people here, and if they think that Middle Cup is deserving enough, it will be made an official tier with an official ladder. Though there are a few exceptions, like Balanced Hackmons, which was made before the PS!-Smogon merger, in general something like the decision to add Middle Cup would needed to be voted on. That's how Little Cup became an official tier, if I heard correctly.*Creation of a Middle Cup, where any #2 Pokemon in a 3-evolutionary Pokemon line (ie. Quilava, Pupitar) is allowed to participate. All Pokemon are level 50 or lower, because Deino evolves into Zweilous at level 50. The only Ubers banlist I can think of right off the bat is Chansey, and maybe Pikachu as well.
Most people I know mute the battle music (the button in the top right) and listen to their own music or nothing.You know what i really think is a nice idea...adding B/W 2 Music into the battles so that we wont have to listen to the very same thing every battle
