original living shelter pokemon idea

Back before the recode (whoa that was more than a year ago already) whenever you visited the shelter, the pokemon visible would move about within the viewing box as if they were actual, living pokemon hoping to get adopted. It was actually one of my favorite features of the shelter, as it made it feel like, well, an actual Shelter rather than just somewhere to sort through the eggs and pokemon other people didn't care for. So I'm just suggesting this return as a feature of the shelter. I know some people were annoyed when they had to chase the pokemon around the box to click on them, but it really was a minor issue and in my opinion doesn't out do the immersion benefits. Positives: Makes the shelter more realistic, as if the pokemon are living and want to be adopted. Makes the shelter more dynamic and therefore more attractive to new players. Helps with the role-play feeling of the server Negatives: May be very difficult for mobile users with small screens Some people would rather be able to just click a stationary pokemon because it would be slightly quicker. Suggestions from poster's input: Some sort of toggle-off system for those whom this would cause problems for. such as mobile users. (preferred method, whether it's an item or some option in a menu, is undecided)
If you do not support living shelter pokemon, but do want to see the shelter become more attractive and lively, please feel free to share some ideas on how to do so. If you did support, but have other ideas, we'd love to hear them. The point of this suggestion is the make the shelter more lively and engaging, especially for newer players. But if you feel there are other, better ways to do so than living shelter pokemon, I'd love to hear your ideas.

Hi! I agree with the practical aspects of having Pokemon moving around in the Shelter being annoying and possibly making it harder to spot them, however I can also see where you're coming from about the lack of 'life' in the Shelter. It might not fully address the issue, but what if instead of making the 'mons move, the background had a small animation to it? Something like the flowers or grass waving in the breeze like in the GBA games? A short, simple gif-like image that repeats. Another nice touch would be having a couple of different Shelter 'areas', like a beach and a forest and a mountain, which would make sense for a place that houses all kinds of Pokemon. Every reload you get a random background, or you can choose to just stick with the default. No effect on the types of 'mons you find, obviously, but it would look nice and add some variety. Combine the two and I think it would look awesome. Lapping waves on the beach, moving dappling in the forest, stuff like that. I don't think I support moving Pokemon, but I think these alternatives might work. Cheers, DreamThief.
