    Even the client replay-viewer being improved would be a huge boon to PO, right now its replay viewing is pretty dire compared to PS's (and the PO web replays are even worse still :( )

    Could as well suggest "make PO better", "make Android Client better", "make scripts better", "make the world better", etc.

    What specifically do you think that needs to improve on the replay viewer?

    It's not intuitive in the slightest. Making it not based on the time of how the match really played out would be an improvement (or make that setting optional), make skipping to the next/previous turn easier (especially if you don't make it no longer based on real-time), fast forward is just a horrible idea when you're watching a replay you've not seen; often in tour matches you'll have a minute or two at the start where players wait for friends teammates and other spectators to join and then several turns played in quick succession which you then suddenly miss and can't skip back to. I don't remember if there's a pause button but if not add it.

    With the online replay viewer PLEASE can we have old gen sprites for the appropriate gens, no animations, and anything that I covered about the downloadable client replay viewer that applies here.

    Would be easier if the person who programmed it came back
