DoubleJ Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 So in the recent update, there was a tweak to the battle timer which removed the return of time when you switch a pokemon. This to me is beneficial, but early on in a match it is not uncommon to swap several times before even making a move. During this time players scout their opponent's team in the match and also run calcs to see when an attack would be of benefit. In all, a lot of time is lost during this period of a match and not gaining time with switches really hinders the progression of a match. I would suggest changing the current system to implement the timer change we just got to when the timer hits 30 minutes. BlackJovi, aftershocker, SweeTforU and 8 others 11 Link to comment

I agree but like it would be better to happen when it hits 20 minutes, it's already a lot of time and it makes stall battles don't last for an hour. This changed also hurts people who play by themselves, yesterday I lost to timer cause I was calcing and battling by myself and didn't even realize my time was running low, when I realized made a switch and it was over cause the switch didn't add anything back. Maybe when u have support of friends could be better cause they can at least calc for u and let u know the timer is running out but a lonely player struggles a lot with the timer how it is right now ShadowGary and DoubleJ 2 Link to comment
RysPicz Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 There is one more thing to consider- I remember when I was literally only making switches in the battle to force my opponet into switching as well, to maximize the spikes damage. I was not attacking for many turns, but I kept wearing my opponet down thanks to spikes. Link to comment
KaynineXL Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Lmao, I swear to god... This timer is really bad. I was just watching a game, and you can literally keep forcing your opponent to switch if you have momentum and you could win using the timer or force them to do risky stuff because they're panicking about the time.

Toast Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 this needs a fix asap. you can literally force an opponent to keep switching if you can double switch correctly and putting the pressure up, its broken af fix asap aftershocker, DoubleJ, ShadowGary and 2 others 5 Link to comment

Frag Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I agree, the new timer only force people to make moves they don't want, just to get more time. if it get active after 35-45 min mark would be fine. Arimanius, DoubleJ, Liberalisme and 4 others 7 Link to comment
Kyu Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 The "switches not giving turn time" has been disabled on Live while we look at addressing its flaws. Thanks for bringing it up. Arimanius, KaynineXL, RysPicz and 2 others 5 Link to comment
