Choosing who goes first before the cards are dealt.
In the Pokemon TCG, I am fairly sure the rule is that before both players view their cards, they flip a coin, and whoever calls the correct side of the flipped coin decides whether or not to go first. Now this has been established over at TCG One, and the improvements you've made have been spectacular.
However, the ruling is that you decide who goes first BEFORE you draw your cards. Right now, if I win the coin flip, I have an unfair advantage because I can see whether or not I can set up in my first turn or not, because I can see what my cards are, where as in the real game, BEFORE the cards are drawn, you decide whether or not to go first.
This change is now live with v27.

This is honestly isn't a big deal because 99% of the time you want to go first no matter what.

Yes, I have noticed this as an issue. Though the screen is darkened your hand is still visible before making your decision,which does not comply with Pokemon TCG Standard Operations. It enables decision making that is no longer allowed in the game due to abusive strategy. Seeing the change implemented would be greatly appreciated.
