andreuh Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I really I would like the dex to have a second row where would be replicated but it would say "Shiny Seen: x/xxx Shiny Owned: x/xxx Shiny Caught OT: x/xxx" As well it could be nice for the small sprites to have some sort of design indicating if you have seen/owned/caught a shiny. When you have seen a new Pokémon, the Pokémon sprite becomes visible in your dex. When you see a shiny the Pokémon entry could then have a golden outline, much like the green/blue line you receive when you own/capture a new Pokémon. When you own a shiny Pokémon (not your OT, ie. buying off GTL or trading) the dex sprite could have a golden-ish background. And lastly when you capture your own OT shiny the dex sprite could show up as a shiny sprite. Just to make a quick example for each: Seen: Owned: Caught: There are other ways that this idea could be implemented but this is the way I think would make the most sense.

0 Malorne Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Interesting concept, doesn't really do fuck all but interesting regardless. Question is tho, would it recognize PvP "seen" as well Link to comment

Question is tho, would it recognize PvP "seen" as well Considering NPCs don't use shinys, the only other way you would "see" a shiny is PvP and if you see one but you are unable to catch it (it flees/you kill it/it kills its self). That would be up to the devs if PvP would count as "seen". Also, it may "do fuck all" in your opinion, but shiny hunters and people like myself who shiny hunt occasionally would like to be able to have this type of feature in our dex.

To be able to see in your dex which shines you have seen/owned/caught without having them on you/you decide to sell them. It would serve the same function as the traditional dex with more piazza. Just changing the photos for the Pokémon that you have s/o/c the shiny version of. If you s/o/c a shiny, it would also count as the regular entry anyway. Dibz 1 Link to comment

0 Dibz Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I really dig this idea! Shiny hunting is a really big postgame activity and I'm pretty sure a lot of shiny hunters including myself would appreciate this feature, whenever it may be. Also might inspire @jonulo to get a full shiny dex :p I'd understand this feature not being a priority but I'd definitely like to see it someday! andreuh 1 Link to comment

Well, it doesn't really add any feature that might affect the gameplay or an aspect of it in any way, hence "do fuck all" but sure, it can prove convenient to those whom you referred to. Problem would be integrating old shiny encounters, which is probably impossible (not sure) so the very feature's effect might have to start-off when its implemented. On a side note, i'd like to suggest a minor upgrade to this topic, which is to add total shinies owned of the said shiny globally (example ; there are currently x number of shiny rattata's owned) that way, it might also help values settle down within the shiny market as well Edited March 29, 2019 by Malorne Link to comment

Right, difference is the shiny i owned, lets say back in 2014. Would it be able to recognize it despite not having it at the present time. hence the integration and thus only making it conventient after being implemented. Making it lacking for past encounters, tho it does collide with my suggestion as well, considering the shinies that people have whom doesn't play anymore. Lots of variables Edited March 29, 2019 by Malorne Link to comment

It would still be nice to implement something like this. Even if it can't count certain shiny Pokémon players have had in the past, at least i could start recording the ones that players do own and continue to capture. 2 hours ago, Malorne said: On a side note, i'd like to suggest a minor upgrade to this topic, which is to add total shinies owned of the said shiny globally (example ; there are currently x number of shiny rattata's owned) that way, it might also help values settle down within the shiny market as well I would suggest posting this as a suggestion on its own if you would like it to be seen by others/devs. Dibz 1 Link to comment

Question
andreuh
I really I would like the dex to have a second row where
would be replicated but it would say
"Shiny Seen: x/xxx Shiny Owned: x/xxx Shiny Caught OT: x/xxx"
As well it could be nice for the small sprites to have some sort of design indicating if you have seen/owned/caught a shiny.
When you have seen a new Pokémon, the Pokémon sprite becomes visible in your dex.
When you see a shiny the Pokémon entry could then have a golden outline,
much like the green/blue line you receive when you own/capture a new Pokémon.
When you own a shiny Pokémon (not your OT, ie. buying off GTL or trading)
the dex sprite could have a golden-ish background.
And lastly when you capture your own OT shiny the dex sprite could show up as a shiny sprite.
Just to make a quick example for each:
Seen: Owned: Caught:
There are other ways that this idea could be implemented but this is the way I think would make the most sense.
