Ideas to Improve Raid System

Raid Pass Transfer - give up the current raid and join another without double spending. Solve the "can't see how many players are in the lobby" issue. Trainer Nickname displayed on the top of the Pokémon during battle (can also apply to regular gym) Don't reset damage contribution upon rejoining. Current way is just BS Trainer Damage ranking after raid. Let everybody see it. Top 1/Top 3/Top 5 Being able to battle the Raid boss after the Raid is completed. Need a different type of rooms. No reward or second chance to catch the boss. Just for fun. Add the minimum number of players record of defeating the Raid Boss on trainer's page. For example, if you have SOLOed Arcanine, everyone will see "1" in your page in the future Arcanine raids. *Chat system in lobby

What do you think?

I love no 7. Can copy and paste- "please don't use blisseys or out "in every single raid.

People are gonna spam bad language and stuff like ad .... that's why I put a * before
You never know

Definitely yes: 1, 3, 7
Maybe: 4, 5, 6
Never: 2

There is no "can't see how many players are in the lobby" issue. At a raid, you see people standing around, you talk with them, you coordinate the groups. What there is, is a "can't see how many players are in the lobby because I am spoofing or am relying on spoofers" issue.

There is. Just because they are standing there playing doesn't mean they are waiting in the lobby. They could be already battling or catching it.

You are right, they could already be battling it. That's why you can ask when arriving there who is still waiting to join the raid. So I don't really see what the problem is.

Try "hello, have you started yet"

They might also sit in their cars, or on a bench you can't see - some gyms reach quite a distance. And not everyone is very social or comfortable talking to strangers.

How do you do that in a city, were people play from their houses or offices?

What I really want is a general open chat channel, limited by distance (like in Ingress). Where you can write things like "Are you all coming to the Moltres raid I am waiting at? Or are you all converging at the other Moltres raid that started at the same time 1 km away?"

If Niantic managed that for Ingress, why not here?! That would really be great.

I think 1 and 3 are mandatory, ASAP!
Suggestion 4 It's good. Don't care much about 7....

I would also add, on the screen where we see the Raid Boss (before battle), how many people are in lobby or battling.

Also, for selecting pokemons in battle, I would like a different view. Instead of the 3x4 pokemon portefolio, it would be good a 1x6 or 1x8 (like a list), with the pokemon and it's moves.

Why would you need a chat system in the lobby. You can just talk to them, can't you?

I like nr. 3, 4 and 6 though. Especially number 3, it really doesn't make sense the way it is now.

3, 4 and 6 seem pretty good.

Why can't you just talk to People ? Cheaper, more reliable etc.

I'd pay for 4,5 and 6 :).

But 6 with an addition, a general entry for how many lvl 3 you soloed. Even lvl 2 for smaller level players.

I'd like 10 minutes to solo a tier 3, 15 minutes for tier 4, and 20 minutes for tier 5. At least I'd be able to burn through these 150 max potions with no use. I'd be able to do something instead of going past those raids I cannot hope to try.

I like 3,4,5. That would be cool to see how my choice of counter affects my placement in 4.

One thing I would add is being able to set a back-up lineup in the event of fainting so you can rejoin quickly (having to rename guys before/after the raid sucks). For solos, and other low player raids where time is of the essence, getting back in as quickly as possible can be the difference between winning and losing. Having to switch out Blissey and Wobbuffett mid-raid pretty much guarantees failure.
