Greetings, I'd like to report a small bug that's been happening to me for years on both Firefox and Chrome (PC — the issue doesn't happen on mobile since it's a touch screen), though I'm not sure if it's actually fixable in some way.
The issue is about tool tips not disappearing (or rather, appearing again) during the battle, before a turn starts.
The typical scenario is usually the following, if this can be of help:
- I choose a move or a Pokémon (not necessarily before my opponent)
- All the buttons & tooltips disappear normally, with the cancel button appearing
- When my opponent chooses their move or when the turn starts, the 4 move buttons and the 6 Pokémon buttons appear again on my screen for like a micro second (since PS is already waiting for the next turn choices to be made, I presume) before disappearing again and letting the battle animation play, and if my mouse happened to be on one of the 10 buttons at that moment, then the respective tool tip appears
- Since there is no longer a button to stop hovering on, nor other buttons to go hover on, the tool tip just doesn't disappear, requiring either a click out of it (thus putting your cursor back into the battle chat), to go hover on one of the Pokémon currently on the field, or the turn to finish so that the other buttons come back (if you moved your mouse, the "ghost" tool tip does not go away once the animations are over and your buttons are back).
For what it's worth it also happens upon sending a Pokémon out after Volt Switch/U-Turn/etc.
This is pretty annoying as it can cover the Skip/Skip to end buttons (making longer battles a bit more frustrating), it can also cover the battle screen altogether (if it's a move with a long tool tip like Metronome or a Pokémon with 24 moves for Custom Game), and that's a useless distraction to have in the middle of a battle. I don't think that the behavior is intentional, so it would be a huge quality of life fix to have these "ghost tooltips" not appear anymore, and just be able to play without needing to move the mouse and click all the time outside of when the player actually makes a choice. Apologies if anything in the description above does not sound clear, and thanks for your time!
BUG STATUS: CONFIRMED - CHAT (CLIENT), I did additional testing with Lionyx; this issue could be reproduced on both latest Chrome (
screenshot) and Firefox on their computer only. So there must be something else afoot causing the issue. Of note, it happens inconsistently. Realistically, we probably need more people who experience the same issue. (DaWoblefet)
