As the title says, freely switching Pokemon will be removed from the game. Too many unintended factors arise from this. The whole team mechanic will be revised. Instead of switching whenever you want, you must go to a PC to select a lead Pokemon, which you play for the remainder of the time you stay . If you faint, you can then switch. You are also limited to a party of four Pokemon instead of six(Not sure about this part). In PvP, mainly organized matches, you can choose to set up a party of Pokemon. It becomes 1v1(if only 2 players battle each other) until you or the opponent faints, which is when the round ends and both opponent can choose to be another Pokemon. Items such as Red Card will force the round to immediately in PvP, but nothing in PvE. Volt Switch, U-turn, etc. will not force any switching, and will act as regular attacks. Got any ideas, suggestions, objections?

Hmm. I suppose that attacks like Spikes would simply become damaging obstacles then. U-turn could function like in old PAX (ramming attack that jumps back), and Volt Switch could work similarly (fires a projectile while moving backwards at the same time). I agree with the party being limited to 4. What problems were the switching mechanic causing?

i'd like to know about the switching problem why not have a gui for switching and then if you use u-turn/volt switch you are stuck in place if you hit and then you just click and choose another pokemon :/ is it a script problem? if so just have u-turn/volt switch be normal attacks for the time being
