I am new to the game and have played a few hours in. Everything about it looks amazing. However, the battle system not allowing for a free switch of your pokemon when your opponent faints or when one of your own mons faint is really bothering me. This is not how I am used to battling and I don't understand why the devs chose to code the battle system in this way. I've looked through the forum a little bit but havent seen any mention of this anywhere, not even in the post specifically detailing the differences between PRO and the official pokemon titles. Am I the only one bothered by this? More importantly is this a mechanic that is intended to be a permanent feature of the game, or is it maybe something that they might be changing at some point?
