Wow, it sure has been a while since I've come online here! I've been busy with other things. Now here's my suggestion. Whenever I'm on chat, there is always at least one or two people who are idle. If I recall correctly, moderators also tend to be idle from time to time. Now, there are times when people don't check chat. Why don't we add Ping phrases? For those who don't know what a Ping phrase is, it is a certain phrase (for example, mine could be "Victini Victory" or "VV") that you can set yourself. When someone says your name on chat, a sound usually comes or you will receive a notification that will let you know someone has spoken one of your ping phrases.

Here are some reasons why I would want it:

  1. One can easily alert a moderator or even Pokemaster when needed.

  2. It will encourage more activity on chat.

  3. Professional chatting networks, including Skype and Wikia's chatting service, use it and it works well for them.

  4. If someone is idle on chat, then they'll know when other members have arrived.

  5. I really want it :3

What do you guys think? I would love this feature to be implemented.

I swear I suggested this before but I can't find the question so whatever. Something to do with chat highlights. Anyway yeah this would be cool.
I like it. (filler)
Maybe coloured text to. Like on Showdown!
Yeah...the message can be colored red if one of your phrases are spoken in it, that way you know which one it is.
