I really loved looking at peoples profiles and seeing what they were hunting and how many eggs they had already hatched. The new site still has the information but doesnt show the images of the Pokemon anymore. I find this disappointing because looking at other peoples Shine Recorders is boring and more time-consuming.
In the foreseeable future will the layout of user pages look like they used to, or?
Oh, and also: On the same topic, being able to view a users Shiny boxes directly from there user page was really cool too. This has also been taken away...not completely, but is, again, less fun than it used to be. Any chance these features will return?

I think it makes more sense to not not reveal what the shiny looks like before you get it. And if you see the sprites on the persons page, and they have the eggs they're hunting for, that would almost identify the egg(s) for you if you can put two and two together in terms of what pokemon comes out of what egg. The user doesn't have to have the eggs that're hunting, but they are kind of very likely to fill their parties with those eggs.

And if you wanted to view the boxes a person had set to public, it was always easier to go to the pc part of the user page, than to look at the boxes one by one. So I don't think there's that much benefit to bringing the single box with a rolldown back to the front page, the pc or now pokemon page is better anyway.

They did it on the old site, why would it make a difference now? o_O

The only reason I can think of them not wanting to do it would be stretching the Shine Recorder tab because not all the sprites are the same size. But maybe we have have them toggled at least? Like hover over and it switches to the sh sprite? That way we can only see them if we choose to. It's better than not seeing them at all.

If we had the option to switch between eggs and shine sprites, that would be huge possibility to identify eggs.

And for why the change is reasonable if it was for the reasons I mentioned. That's exactly the same kind of change they did to exploration tasks a while back. You can correct something that has not turned out to be the way things should be.

Actually, when I think about it, maybe it would be better to not show the name of the pokemon int h shine recorder when a user doesn't have that entry in their dex. Now it puts up the mystery egg sprite. But a user would be very likely, like I said, to have eggs of what they're shiny hunting. So if you could put two and two together with the name of the pokemon and the egg sprite, that's could be just as bad as looking at the hatched pokemon sprite.
