I think that would be best.
Better chat UI.

That's a good idea.

I agree with the tabs, but disagree with the "ghosted chat". As much as it works in Haven and the like, I feel it'll prove to be a nuisance in PvE and PvP parties. Mainly because you're not focusing on the chat. A party member might say something important, but you fail to notice it. The chat never tells you something was said after it's "ghosted". I highly doubt anyone would want to press Enter every time they wanted to check if someone said something.
On that note, I'd recommend the chat doesn't "auto-hide", as it were. Rather, you can toggle to hide it. In other words, pressing the key representing the tab you're currently on, will automatically hide the chat. Pressing it again, re-shows the chat. Pressing a key for another tab shows the chat and changes the tab.
OR, have a universal "hide/show chat" key, alongside the tab keys (to avoid confusion). Noting that a "party tab" will be needed.
If you're on, say, the guild tab, if someone speaks in the party tab, the party tab is highlighted in some way. Which applies for all tabs. Highlights do not disappear until AFTER you're in the text box for the respective tab (so the system confirms that you've actually read it).
Just my 2 cents.

Yes, I agree, I never pay attention to these type of chat boxes.. I don't think the chat is as big of a problem as the fact that it covers up people's names and hp bars in LD.

While you have a point we can make the tab button show all the chat at once and check for your important message.
And i feel it is very unlikely that one wouldn't see an important message as you surely don't afk in a danger mission.
And naturally if the message is of great importance it is said before the party button is pressed and so hitting enter to see what people said isn't too much of a pain.

Liking it, but maybe trade and zone could be spaced together as /G and /o are?
People are already complaining that with the battlepokémons and shield bash there is an abundance of buttons gonna be needed.
Especially those with controlled would suffer
