VOTE if you want an In-Game Tournament Substitute Roster

Dragonfly102024 · January 27

The monthly in-game tournaments can be fun, intense and quite a challenge. We are required to register as a team if you want to play with certain friends. That's fine. However, once you pre-register your team, you cannot make changes to the roster (trainer list). Life happens. Things come up, internet goes down, server issues occur. Sometimes teammates are no-shows or they tell you in advance (but after everyone's registered) that they can't make it. When that occurs, the remaining teammates are out of luck and not allowed to play.

I suggest a simple solution to this issue. Allow a registered team of five to have a substitute list of two additional trainers. Allow teams of two to three (since they don't allow a team of four) to have one on a substitute list. The other option would be to allow the preregistered team to make EDITS to the the team up till the time they press the go button to enter the tournament.

Think about it. Pokemon games have "benches" just like real live sports. You even have a secondary "bench" when you play a TCG, called your hand. Please vote if you agree. Mods, please pass this request and feedback on to the developers.

Add a substitute list or make registered tournament teams editable.

Sigh I can't figure out how to add the vote thingy, so please just agree if you like this idea. And for those of you who don't play or don't like unite, please just ignore this post.
