Hello! It was a mechanic that I liked in Pokemon, and I really miss it in MG. Something like "Opponent is about to summon XX, would you like to change guardians?"

I find myself wasting a lot more energy and hitpoints than I am comfortable with. A typical fight might go like this:

Me: start with Nature Opponent: Fire
I switch to Water (-1 energy)
Water takes a free hit, I can do nothing.
Attack with Water (-some energy)
Opponent defeated, he summons Nature
I switch to Fire (-1 energy)
Fire takes a free hit, I can do nothing.

It's the combination of the -1 energy AND the free damage that I take which saddens me. One, or the other, but I am taking 2 negatives for 1 action.

And I don't just switch to pull out a better element. Perhaps it's been a tough fight, and I want to protect the nearly fainted guardian I have so it can receive some XP. If the opponent's new guardian has a first-strike ability, it'll kill my guardian before I can put it away. That has been happening a lot lately, and it's very frustrating.

One more point that I'd like to make. Just because the opponent's guardian is a weak element vs mine, doesn't always mean it'll lose. it seems they all are equipped with Pummel, and hit HARD. If their free hit against me is a Pummel, I don't always win.

Thank you for reading. I hope you can see my point of view.

Guess I'll need to put a support ticket in then. Because mine still is.
