Help, great doubt.

Hi, I am new, I am starting the pokemon platinum and I have noticed something strange. When you weaken a rival pokemon and it will attract another, shouldn't it be asking you if you want to switch just like the original pokemon? That makes the game very difficult. Or do I have to activate it somewhere?

I have been playing pokemon for a long time and this seems strange to me.

You're not wrong. That is how this game works. You can't switch out your Pokemon after you faint every opposing Pokemon.

This is intentional as the AI in PokeMMO is different from the base games.

If you've been playing Pokemon for a long time then you should know about the Set and Switch option. PokeMMO uses Set, most likely because Switch makes the game too easy and doesn't really prepare you for PvP.
