Functions to Combat Possible Toxic Behavior

Hi devs, recently I met a player who spammed the "thumbs down" emote throughout the game. That's where I realized this game does not have functions to combat these type of toxic behaviors compared to other card games.

Some suggestions are:

1) Mute button to mute the other player's emotes, this can prevent them from spamming emotes.

2) Report button to report toxic / offensive behaviors or names.


Anyone who has any other suggestions feel free to add on to this list.

    Yep I second this, really annoying the animations don't help either as they look sarcastic. Should be limited to 1 per 5 minutes etc..

    its sadly in every game online, the only thing we can do is ignore it. (well at least its still beter than that people can text toxic behaviour)

    I agree that there should be a mute player option. Thanks.

    The mute button should be either permanently pressed, or once per game options.

    I'm in Poke League, and am getting a lot of players (2 in a row just a minute ago, actually) that purposely draw out the game by ending their turn just before they time out their turn (which takes about 60-90 seconds) once they know they are losing. I even have the Screen Name of one of the players who did it committed to memory. I'm seriously considering posting that player's name here regardless of the rules (which I have not read yet, but I assume public defamation, although deserved, is a warnable offense, like other similar games, such as PTCGO), because this guy REALLY irked me. I ended up being patient enough that he conceded after 6 and a half minutes of doing it, but it was hard, I'm telling you.

    By the way, I know that he was doing it on purpose, because 2 turns into doing it he emoted with double thumbs up. >.>

    I don't understand how there isn't even an option for muting toxic players.

    I agree it's not very appropriate/nice / and it's annoying sitting there spamming them for 30 seconds at a time till the time gets low. You need to add a shut-off button like in the original app so if people are abusing it they cant use it from the other players' choice. I know The pokemon company is hiring challenged people nowadays but come one look at the old version it's 100% better.

    Fully agree, or an option to turn off the animations so nothing displays.
