ability to search certain pokemon species in fields from Daycare
Forum Index > Core > Suggestions > Rejected >
Pretty basic suggestion, I'd like to be able to search for pokemon species in the daycare instead of having to switch between fields and daycare to see what fields my pokemon I want to breed are.
Positives: makes making breeding pairs so much easier!!
Cons: I literally can't think of any, this would save soo much time

Yes. I'd absolutely love this idea. I thought it was weird that you couldn't search your fields during trades or daycare. It would save so much time and hassle not having to open another tab just to find one pokemon. I'd be thrilled if this could extend to trades as well so dex trading becomes much easier.
I don't see any downside to this and it seems fairly easy to implement, it would be a big quality of life update. I figured a button could be added right next to the allign to grid option that just says something along the lines of search. There's plenty of space and it wouldn't add too much clutter.
Any time I see a suggestion with no cons and the reasoning of "I couldn't think of any", I cringe. While you might not see any on the surface, looking deeper I can think of one:
How would this work, exactly? In the fields we have the menu in the corner with tons of different options in it, but in the daycare we only have Align to Grid. Would the search function be able to work the same? This is a question you really need to consider.
I don't know of the background workings of the site, but there's a bit of a hesitation to support without knowing if such a feature can actually work.

Landscape mode. Brings up normal sized sprites on mobile. Also, click "align to grid" and you can select the pokemon from that.

I agree with you. I don't think "landscape mode/auto rotate exists" is a good enough reason for a suggestion like this to not exist. Sure, it does exist, but it's a hassle. You can't view an entire field in landscape mode and you have to scroll, and then your phone thinks you want a toolbar and the toolbar comes up and blocks more of the screen. Yes, it does show the full sprite instead of the minisprite, but a suggestion like this is just helpful.
I can think of another example of when this might be useful that's pretty relevant to me right now: Unown. To breed those things you need specific ones, and it would be so much easier if I could search for, say, my P form from the DayCare instead of searching through many similar-looking Unown for it.
If you ask me, really, we should be able to search fields period, everywhere, whether we're searching ours for a multitude of reasons, or other peoples'. There are over a thousand Pokemon now and many people have thousands more atop that.
