We won't make it dependent on hunger/happiness - as others mentioned, that would complicate things a lot, plus some people aren't battling as often as they train.

The idea of being able to choose what pets show up around the site is nice but would be a lot of work to implement, and we'd have to make changes to the database for it, meaning it's not likely right now.

However I'm happy to take suggestions on making the training page better/easier to use. Here are some of my ideas:

• Be able to "collapse" pets, similar to how you can collapse sidebar widgets. Like the widgets, this setting will be remembered by your browser (meaning it will forget your preference if you clear the cache, log out, use a different browser, etc) So this would be one way to "hide" specific pets, at least until your browser logs you out.

• Instead of a separate form for every pet on the page, you select all the pets you want to train (and in what stat), and then submit them all at once with a single button at the bottom of the page. I think of it like this: each pet has a checkbox, in addition to the current dropdown with the stats to choose from. And when you submit the button, it just puts all the pets you checked into training. This idea could do with some fleshing out but perhaps it has potential?

To be fair, that thread (and the admin response) is from 2014. That was three years ago, and a lot has changed since then, so the answer may be different now and it doesn't mean the old answer was wrong per se. And I'd definitely be discussing any changes to the training functionality with the battle admins first :) They may have reasons I hadn't thought of for not wanting a mass training button.

But collapsible pets are easy enough and could totally happen! It's just a UI thing too, unlike the mass training button, this wouldn't change the functionality at all since you'd still have to train pets one at a time. So I'll discuss that with the others and maybe one day's sprint you'll see it happen.
