The ability to have some what of a ranking in the VS Seeker that sends you against people in your ranking with similar Pokemon levels.

Hmm...while it isn't really a detailed explanation, I think it could work. But...I see some flaws.

1. What are the chances 2 or more users who want to have a battle with another random user, and have the same/similar level requirements can actually happen? Not too many users I know like battling, and those who do usually do it during an event for quick event points, and those who battle for fun might prefer just planning a time to battle (for example, type themed gyms) instead of finding somebody to battle at random.

2. Why would anybody want to use it? People I know like planned battles, with strategy. (Once again, why type themed gyms are so popular.) When you randomize it all, battling loses one of its main attractions- making a strategy. It's very hard to make a team that will win against almost every Pokemon, every battle style, every different strategy.

While I think this might really work and be fun, I think these main issues must be taken into account.
