Search for a pokemon in your feild

Support This is useful when new mega stones come out and you try to find the pokemon it mega evolves. I leveled a shroomish up by five before finding my Beloom. This is also useful if you decide to start breeding a pokemon and need to look for one of the opposite gender as it is hard looking through fields to find the same kind, even with align to grid as my eyes have looked past a pokemon I was looking for without realizing it before.

This has been rejected before, due to the instense strain it would put on Sally. Computers are not the smartest things ever, and unlike a human, Sally would have to check every pokemon on the site to see if it belongs to you, and then use that pool to find the pokemon that you're looking for, possibly returning hundreds or thousand results. If you're having a problem finding a pokemon, and you're having this problem a lot, then, well, sort your fields.

I don't know where this idea came from, but Databases have a thing called Indexes, which are basically lookup tables for quickly accessing data. User ID is an index, species is an index. There's nothing wrong with finding the data, but presenting you with potentially hundreds or thousands of Pokémon is the problem. There's a reason Fields are capped to 40, you know?

Thanks for the correction, Niet. I guess I misremembered that part of the explanation. I just remembered something about Sally having to make sure the pokemon was actually in your field and belonging to you before presenting that result, but obviously I'm not solid (or anything near, if I misremembered that badly) on how that works.

If I remember correctly, something like this was in the very first site and I have never used it. EVER. Minus the fact that it was rejected, I don't think I would ever use a search feature like that. It hurts the system from the fact there might be possibly millions of that certain pokemon you are trying to look for and create lag. I'm pretty sure, like a normal person, you would dislike that and complain about that. To me, it's not a bother at all to search through my fields. Also, BONUS fact, there is now a thing call the align to grid button in your fields. Before that button's existence, I saved nearly 99.9% of searching time through my fields. As long as you don't have as much fields as Eltafez does, I think searching through your fields manually wouldn't put a strain through your eyes. No support. EDIT: Nevertheless, you are a NEW member of the site. So I am positive you won't hurt your eyes and brain to go through your field. :)

The output could say "Your Beloom are: 1 in 'Field 1' 5 in 'Field 4' 2 in 'Field 9' 1 in 'UFT' 9 Beloom in total"

Now try that with thousands. That's a long list right there.

Your list will only be 202 long

Still wouldn't be useful in finding one Pokémon in particular though.
