Ditto Can't Be Played

Putting Ditto onto the field totally stops play, regardless of if it's put in from the deck, hand or discard pile. It also does not matter if there are other Pokemon for it to copy the attack of, or not. Once on the field the game stops, and you are unable to make any other actions even ending your turn.
