Battle Parties
I noticed that the Party tab no longer says Beta. So that's it then? Are we gonna be limited to 5 parties forever?
Also just a tiny nitpick but there should be a Battle Party section in the new Welcome Back guide.

I think 10 battle parties would be a reasonable amount, 1 gym team, 1/2 for the current legendary boss, 2 teams of fighting & 5 for tier 3 bosses. I would definitely pay coins if we could upgrade the feature, scrolling through them all might be a problem tho so a quicker way to select them would be welcome, especially when rejoining.
I wish they had arrows you could tap to change parties instead of swiping. It's too much of a pain to go to swipe, have the game register it as a tap, go to the Pokemon selection screen, back out, and repeat two or three more times before actually swiping. It seems trivial but it's infuriating when pressed for time and you join a raid lobby with about 30 seconds on the countdown.
Seems like a less known fact but you in fact do not need to swipe. Just press the very edge of the screen and it will change the party to that direction. I always do it that way because it's much faster to scroll to the party I want by tapping a few times instead of swiping, waiting, swiping, waiting, swiping.
