[Feature Request] A way to know who's going first, besides the quick-fading initial message

As of right now, it doesn't appear to be any indicator of who's starting, besides the "You/Your opponent will go first" on the coinflip. There's the yellow bar surrounding each active Pokémon, but that always is on for your opponent no matter what (which might be a bug, considering it's behaviour during the rest of the game). The yellow bars on the right, on the other hand, are both turned on during setup and until the first turn actually begins.

It'd be nice to get some visual feedback of this during set-up, either:

  • Have the large yellow bar glow for the one player who's going first.
  • Have the small yellow bar update once the player going first is determined.
  • (Long term solution) Adding a log feature, being able to see how the initial coinflip/choice ended up. This would also help in several other needed features, including being able to get logs for when reporting bugs during gameplay.

Thanks for reading, hopefully a solution can eventually be figured out!

    Hey trainer,

    Thanks for the feedback. I'll let the development team know about this. In the meantime, please let us know if you have any additional insight about things like this.
