Like a Boss



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?

Removing even the name from the shine recorder's page would really go too far. If someone is smart enough to deduce which egg in the party is which in the recorder or deduce from the shiny sprite which egg is which species, he's smart enough to do that without the recorder showing sprites of the Pokemon or name of the eggs, by just looking at them anyway. That is really pushing it WAY too far.

The point is that for someone that doesn't have much clue about the way egg sprites match up to the pokemon, looking at users' shine recorders could be a potential help. Let's say that the user is shiny hunting corphish and some other eggs. And the user has some corphish eggs. If a user looked at those eggs before knowing anything anything, they could as well think that egg could be something else. So since the user is hunting a set of pokemon, the chance of those eggs that the user has several of to be something the user is shiny hunting is very high. So putting the names in is about as revealing as putting in the sprite of the hatched pokemon, which leads me to actually thinking that this is not the reason we see eggs instead of pokemon on that page. Maybe it's just because the shine recorder on the user page is matching more up to the one in the poketch.

Also, you can't use Arceus as an example that this doesn't work. The reason identifying works is because the user has the eggs in their party most of the time, which nobody usually do with legendaries.

Anyway, the way I think censoring should be done on the pokemon name and not on the egg sprite.
