Undoubtedly the doubles community has been growing for the past months (there is almost no tournament that doesn't fill), yet the support doubles players have is relatively zero. While singles players (except LC, which has the same issue) have matchmaking to be able to train, doubles lacks any kind of automated match finder.
There is no point in saying it would be difficult to implement or whatever reason of that kind, since we had it in the past. Don't know why it was removed, but it was definitely a mistake. Just adding it back will give doubles tournaments a bit more of consistensy, since there are still too many unexperienced players that sign up without knowing basic doubles reasoning. They try to apply singles strategies when they don't usually work in this enviroment.
Another suggestion is the implementation of VGC format. Being the official Pokémon format, it is known by many, and all the time playing in IRL tournaments could be extrapolated to MMO. Since the official rules are usually BO3 (with the exception of small tournaments, which can run BO1) + a top cut single elimination for medium to big events, playing with 4 out of 6 mons from your team, etc, I can see this being a hard task for the devs. However, it would give PokeMMO another level of competitiveness. Being a fast paced format, every turn can be decisive; your team picks are quite important, and reading your opponent is a must.
Dunno what the Community/Staff think about this, will edit later if I think of anything worth adding.
