First: thanks to everybody who's been working on this project. It's super cool that it's in the works and I really appreciate y'all listening to community feedback and undertaking what seems to be a difficult project for us.
Second, some suggestions;
1) A 'team chat' of some sort in the battle would be awesome. This could be an entirely separate chat, an in-battle PM or just a message only your partner can see. This would help people strategize and communicate more effectively and overall up the level of play.
This isn't super urgent because people can obviously always just PM each other, but it should make it easier to plan and work as a team without constantly switching screens.
2) Multiple metas using the multi battle format would be awesome. I was thinking Multi 1v1 (2v2? w/e same community), Random Multi Battles, and every OM being able to be multi-battled. Last one is just me being into mashing OMs with other things x_x, but I imagine the first two should be pretty popular and not terribly hard to code once Multi Battles themselves are coded. You can steal sets for Randbats right from Doubles presumably.
It would be lit if we could apply the format in challenges and tours similar to others, but IDK the technical restrictions there. I don't even know how you would challenge to a Multi Battle, given 4 people have to be involved, but y'all know better than me there.
That's it stay safe lmk if I should elaborate on or clarify anything or if I'm out of place
