Teambuilder format overwriter (browser extension)

https://github.com/swordfishtr/ps_format_overwrite

A small utility that changes the format of the currently viewed team to whatever you want. Usage and install instructions in the github.

The issue with the format selection that Showdown provides is that it can't contain all the formats, that would be way too much on the screen (although the new collapsing categories would help this a lot methinks). Anyway, some of the more niche metas like BDSP lower tiers get removed from the selection even though teams remain in the builder, usually with full support, and the playerbase still exists. Players from back then can simply duplicate their old teams if they kept them, otherwise they have to hunt down a viable pokepaste or just live with the pain that is scrolling down to get a view of the legal mons. Even worse if you're on mobile.

Some metas have it worse than the others. Imagine scrolling from OU all the way to the babies and then having to adjust their level every time. This extension is for you ... and for those that want to make their teambuilder suffer.

As it happens, someone forgot to add a sanity check for specifically the display of each team's format, meaning that you can put arbitrary HTML into your list of teams and it will stay there. A patch for this is already on its way (thankfully pokepaste isn't vulnerable to attacks using this) so if you want to mess around, BACKUP YOUR TEAMS and grab from the unsafe branch. Or you can do this directly from the backup menu if you have good understanding of packed teams.

To recover from a mutilated teambuilder, run these in the console (this deletes all your teams):
Storage.teams.length = 0;
Storage.saveTeams();
