The PSS system needs an update. Fresh fom Reddit


Firstly, don't get me wrong but the PSS system is the greatest thing to be added into the Pokemon franchise so far, but there are a few things I've noticed that make it less useful than it could be.


Firstly, the language barrier. Usually I look for 6v6 battles with passerbys, what makes this extremely difficult is the amount of Asians that come up as passerbys. This itself is not a problem but the fact that their message is only in their native writing (normally characters) doesn't allow me to tell what they want to do meaning that instead of challenging someone to a battle that I know wants to do so, it's basically just a lucky dip. If a translator were to be added this would solve the problem, possibly by having a button that alternates between your language and the passerby you're looking at.


The fact that you can be challenged to battles whilst in a battle is unusual due to fact that if you have an acquaintance or friend in a trade or a battle you cannot interact with them with either request. What I believe is happening is that passerbys do not show if they are doing something, meaning you could see that they want to battle, but they don't respond due to the fact that they are possibly already in a battle/trade, hence why you are sometimes sent requests whilst already in a battle.


I'm sure there are other little flaws with the PSS but aside from that, it is still one of the best additions to online Pokemon in my opinion.


PS: sorry for bad formatting and possibly grammar errors I'm on mobile.
