Equalize PC battling?
I sent the following message to B0sh and decided it might be wise to get some community input: ----- @B0sh There's no easy way to do this, but I think it would be nice if PC battling could be equalized to an extent with touchscreen battling. In my view, TPK is a PC game and it kind of sucks to see Puffin dominate battles. To be fair, PC has an advantage in maps, mining, and smelting, but that's how it should be. In my opinion. I'm mostly posting this to get your opinion on the matter, to see if you have any ideas, and to post any I happen to come up with. This has been on my mind for awhile but I haven't really had time to think about it. But basically we could have two modes of battle: PC mode (a new mode) and touch mode (the same as it is now). I have the ability to accurately detect when a touchscreen is being used—even if it's a touchscreen laptop and they're using a mouse—so don't worry about proper detection. People using a touchscreen to click should experience no change. If they have a touchscreen device *but* use a mouse to click, it will use PC battle mode. Effectively we can have a variable like `didTouch`. Here is one idea I had for PC battle mode: https://i.imgur.com/f5RemvY.png Of course, under normal circumstances, the move buttons disappear when the battle is to be continued or restarted. On PC, we could keep the move buttons visible, but greyed out and disabled when you have to restart. (Not shown in the screenshot.) If the move buttons disappeared then you could click in the same spot which isn't terribly ideal. I rapidly made that screenshot using Inspect Element but can quickly make a demo if you don't think this is a horrible idea. Pretty iffy on it myself. But it's just one idea. Some other ideas include backend detection where PC users get higher EXP gains or something like that, but that doesn't seem right to me. Anyway, let me know your thoughts when you have time, and if you have any ideas. ----- Hai! ;o; I'm Clessypoo! 3 Buying Rare Candies for $4000, send a trade.

RE: Equalize PC battling?
I agree with this idea. Mobile training seems to dominate the community as of now and a few players are unable to use mobile devices for various reasons. Tpk itself is a browser game and not a mobile app so equalizing battles for PC users would be a good idea imo. ♡

RE: Equalize PC battling?
Nothing wrong with the current system I think. I trained on PC with a mouse for years before mobile mode was even a thing. But I also see nothing wrong with optimising PC to make it faster as Mobile training is dominant. Anything that makes the game easier for both PC and Mobile players is a good thing Imo Long Term TPK Goals
