    So lately, I've been losing to dickish timestallers (yes I know I should've reported or something) because while I'm waiting for them to run out, they make a sneaky move and just let me drain time while I don't notice.
    So what I'm proposing is that PO installates a Flash mechanic that happens whenever a move in the Battle Window occurs.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this.

    It might be useful but if it pings/flashes the Player every time a move is picked, it might get annoying and complaints. Also if someone is timestalling, if obv that they want you to ragequit so they get points. But I guess I give a +1

    I've been thinking the same thing. It only needs to flash when the window is inactive, and there can easily be an option to turn it on or off.

    Yeah. It should only flash when it's inactive. Also if this does get accepted, the Turn Off/On should be by the "Save Log" and "Music", when battling. (:

    Glad to see some weighted people that agree with this.

    I hope to see this implemented in later versions!

    Cheers.

    Well what we could do is "Enable ping when opponent moves" and leave it unchecked by default. Make it like saving battle logs, where there's an option to always save logs and an option to disallow and save individual logs.

    +1 And feature done. Thread can be closed.

    Will be on * possibly * next release.

    It'll flash when a move / send out / send back is done. Can be turned off / on.
