Tabs in Pokemon Summary Timeline
Forum Index > Core > Suggestions >
As some may know, the Timeline section of a Pokemon's Summary page can get a bit unruly. Especially for those who offer dex trades. Just look at my poor Eclipse here! I legitimately cannot find the message for her reaching level 100 without Control+F. It can be a deterrant to trading Pokemon, as some people like "clean" timelines.
So my suggestion. Divide the timeline into two tabs: "Main" or "Lifetime" and "Trading History". The first tab would have the Pokemon's life milestones; creation, obtainment, hatching, if it hatched shiny/albino, evolution, and reaching level 100. The second tab would have all the times it had been traded.
Pros:
- Easier to find specific timeline entries.
- Cleaner overall look.
- Less endless scrolling to get to early timeline entries.
- May make Pokemon that have been traded repeatedly more desirable to potential buyers.
Cons:
- May not matter to some people, who will still consider a busy Trading History section to be a "ruined" timeline.
I do not believe this exact thing has been suggested before, but if I'm wrong, let me know. Also let me know if you can think of any more pros or cons.
I've been thinking about this and I kinda have to wonder if we *really* need the entire trade history, or if just the most recent trade is good enough for timeline purposes, y'know?
Some people do purposefully try to get as many names in a timeline as possible, sending a Pokemon on a "journey" and removing the trade section altogether would prevent that. Something like that could be arranged/tracked via the description instead however... *shrug*
The trade history would still exist server-side for in the event someone tries to claim ownership of a traded Pokemon that isn't actually theirs, right? That's the only major issue I can think of.
Yes. Basically make the trade history be a separate thing perhaps.
Support, just look at some of my Pokemon's histories. It may be nice to have a record of all the trades, but not mixed in with thing like hatch date.
I like to see the trade history because it is like the pokemon's journey around the site. I wouldn't want this erased completely.
It might be nice to have them in a separate tab/accordion like the battle stats and contest stats and such.
