Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
The sound options for Pokemon Showdown are super glitchy. When I slide the options for Effect Volume and Music Volume to 0, after I close the option and reopen it, it will slide up back to normal. This needs to be fixed asap.
