Pending Teambuilder Suggestions

[mixnite]

first things first, I really wanna thank the developers for all their work on Showdown! it truly is the best way to play Pokémon and it gets better and better with each update. I only have these two suggestions for now which would make teambuilding a whole lot easier and convenient.

#1 - easier importing and deleting

make it so that teams can be easily copy pasted or deleted from the "Backup all teams from this folder" section for each tier/ category of teams. it's really annoying having to click the delete button 100+ times or having to go all the way to the main "backup all teams" of the builder to import or delete teams and have them be extremely disorganised in the "all" section of the builder.

# 2 - easier sorting

adding a hashtag system in the builder would make it so much easier to sort teams. While the folder system is great, it tends to get very cluttered and you end up having way more folders than you should. having a hashtag system would provide flexibility in sorting teams since you can do things such as create hashtags for certain team styles like balance or stall or hyper offense. you could also make hashtags for tournament teams which would make it easier to find the teams that are "tournament ready" instead of having to create your 800th folder. another cool thing that could be done is that the hashtags can be stackable so you can add multiple hashtags onto a team to make it even easier to sort through your teams.

i think these suggestions while not perfect would make it easier for us builders and would make the experience even better than it already is. (please take as many creative liberties with the second suggestion it has near boundless potential and could very well be the greatest feature on the site aside from replays >x<)

I'm not quite sure what you mean by #1. Are you suggesting that the backup tool could (for example) provide navigational tools or some other tools to copy specific parts of the folder rather than the entire folder?

Regarding #2: You can accomplish a hashtag system by putting the tags into your teams' names and then using your browser's find tool (e.g. CTRL+F) to search by tag. It should work fine (besides that one time where it didn't for a Mac(?) user). I do suppose that this is still limited, though:

1. you have to manually tag every team, especially imported teams;
2. you'd have to manually manage tags, which can quickly get miserable if you're dealing with near-identical tags clogging up the system (e.g. #gen9 vs #generation9 vs #sv vs #scarletviolet vs #scarletandviolet)

I'd be up for something like this if the tagging system was implemented image-board-style since they're generally very easy to handle and come bundled with cheat sheets.

i'm talking about the backup section for individual metagames/ tiers. you can only copy what's there since there's no option to paste or delete

Regarding #2: You can accomplish a hashtag system by putting the tags into your teams' names and then using your browser's find tool (e.g. CTRL+F) to search by tag.

what i'm asking for is a system similar to the search option when building teams where you type in specifics such as the name of an ability or a specific move

I do suppose that this is still limited, though:

1. you have to manually tag every team, especially imported teams;
2. you'd have to manually manage tags, which can quickly get miserable if you're dealing with near-identical tags clogging up the system (e.g. #gen9 vs #generation9 vs #sv vs #scarletviolet vs #scarletandviolet)

the tags i'm suggesting are custom tags users make for themselves. for example, if I have a lot of teams made by a player, lets say john for example, and I want to find them I'd just put #john as a tag on the john teams
