    Alright, this Generation brought forth a new battling option- The Wonder Launcher. Using this, you can use items during Multiplayer battles. However, there is a catch. Now, to use those items, you need to gain Points. How do you get Points?
    Simple. Each turn, you will automatically get 1 Point. If you save up enough points, you can purchase an item and use it. You can also buy something that isn't an item, but helps your Pokemon, like making there ability activate by force. You can only use the items available in the Wonder Launcher. A list of items and Boosts:
    Spoiler:

    So what do you think of this Feature?
    Do you like it or not?
    What would you edit or add to it?
     
    I haven't really used this yet but it sounds interesting to use items in wi-fi matches...though some battles are over before 14 turns so getting a Max revive seems rare...or maybe that's why they gave it such a high point count in the first place xD
     
    Saved my skin twice in the currently running Casual Tournament, mainly due to the surprise element; I don't think it even occurred to my opponents that I might try healing (or defrosting in the second case).
     
    I think it is cool that you can use items and stuff in multiplayer. It sounds really helpful!
     
    The Wonder Launcher annoys me for a few reasons. One main one being that it makes matches with my friends go for way longer than they need to be >.<. Plus I never stop using it once it is turned on. Most of the time my friends and I turn it off.
     
    I personally hate the thing.
    It changes the dynamic of competitive battles, because now there's this whole healing thing.
    Not to mention if you accumulate points you can get your pokemon a free belly drum - the HP loss.
    Whenever me and my friends play we don't allow it's use.
