add a chat!

I'm not sure why we cant have an active chat when we battle someone. There have been times that i want to congratulate someone on a good strategy or maybe complain to them how broken the coin flipping system is after i manage to flip tails 5 attack turns in a row, lol. allowing us to communicate would bring the community together and allow us to have more personality instead of just being "X" level with these emblems… i want to actually know the people i add to my friends list!

    I was just gonna make a post about how lonely a game this is.

    For being a social 1v1 TCG in real life, this doesn’t really feel like that.

    You can barely communicate with each other, there’s no easy way to add friends without remembering their screen name. No way to share deck builds or collection. Not even any sort of leaderboards or community in game

    It barely feels like you’re playing another person.

    Hi, @GRussek! Welcome to the Pokémon Community!

    The "chat" feature may be bad, too — a small part of people may abuse it to send spam emojis and/or bad sentences. If the developers still want to add the "chat" feature anyway, I think that they should add the "quick chat" feature instead of "free chat".

    It's a child-focused franchise. They aren't going to let randos on the internet talk to them.

    And even if you did find a way to ensure that only adults could use it, it would still be used primarily to trade abuse and insults rather than compliments. It would need to be heavily moderated and necessitate a report function.

    No one involved will deem it worth the hassle.
