Support for slash commands

[shatindle]

In April of 2022 (a few months from now), Discord will be shutting of the message intent unless the bot developers apply for the intent and is approved for the intent (or the bot is in less than 75 servers). Discord is pushing hard in this direction and recently released support for permissions in slash commands. Further, although this decision has been a massive controversy in the bot development community, Discord has stated that refusal to go to slash commands will not be enough of a reason for them to grant the intent.

Slash commands do actually improve knowledge of what commands are available. What's the plan for slash commands in Zeppelin? I know they don't exist yet on r/PokemonUnite. Would like to know the timeline for it or if there is any plan to convert from message based commands to slash commands.

This is probably also relevant.

Hi @shatindle sorry for the delay on this.
Slash commands are definitely planned but at this time we still don't have an ETA or any more info that we can share.

Seems like with #455 it's something actively being worked on by Lily.
