Here goes nothing
In the lab and shelter, you should be able to have a small list, of maybe 5-10 pokemon/eggs adopted. It would say *users* Egg/Name of pokemon, and clicking on it would take you to the pokemons page, and it refreshes every time you refresh the page. Much like the "Recently infected" list. BUT IT'LL CAUSE RAGE! Not really. So you go to the recently infected list and rage at some guy who got Pokerus that wasn't you? No, you don't. Yes, it may cause a little rage, "OMFG THAT GUY GOT A MEW" But I wouldn't go spamming him acting all angry... I'd personally add him to my Pal Pad. I think it would be interesting to see what was just adopted, as who hasn't had those moments where you see the number in the Shelter go down and wonder "Darn what was that..." Just my opinion... tl;dr: Recently adopted list in lab and shelter |

I'd personally like this, although it would make it possible to tell who had claimed your summon.

being able to see who claimed your summon pokemon might result in some bad things lol

I personally don't imagine this to be terribly functional. The amount to eggs/pokemon grabbed from the shelter every few minutes is huge. You'd need a very long list to be able to actually have enough time to snoop over to the list and see who got what, and that is sort of an invasion of privacy (could you imagine all of the annoying mails a person who grabbed a legend/good novelty would get?), I certainly wouldn't want that.
Pokerus is a bit different. The list is there to aid people who want to try to pick it up themselves (you can stalk the page and click whenever a new infected shows up). It also don't have to change all that frequently, maybe a few times a hour depending on user activity. Besides, conceptually an infinite number of people could get pokerus a day, as far as I know there is no set limit, just because someone else got it doesn't take your chances away, unlike when it comes to eggs, if someone else got that egg, you obviously didn't, and that is where people rage. I do think it might be interesting to have a summon related list, or at least be able to possibly know who summoned an egg if you grabbed theirs (but possibly only have it so the owner of the egg can see who the summoner was, not the general public), or vice versa. A list for people who summoned an egg and see who ended up with it, but not have it public unless the individual wants to (some people summon for others after all). Though that'd still be bordering on privacy issues, especially the later (since an angry summoner might then write some hate-mail). I don't see quite as many issues from the other side, a person could write and say thank you or something, they have nothing to be mad about.

I'd personally like this, although it would make it possible to tell who had claimed your summon. Yes, but it would just say *Persons* Egg. You'd have to spend more time looking for the egg then you did summoning it. being able to see who claimed your summon pokemon might result in some bad things lol See above, but if needed, you just can't see eggs summoned by you in said list. Just a possibility. I personally don't imagine this to be terribly functional. The amount to eggs/pokemon grabbed from the shelter every few minutes is huge.

You do make some good points, you really do, but if need be, it can be a list like the "Stop pokemon from moving" button, you click it, and it goes to like the last 100. As addressed in all posts, you are right. It may cause rage, but it may also be more helpful then rage inducing. Again, it may not be a good idea, but I appreciate the criticism. |

I like this idea. A lot of the time when I'm shelterhunting I see that there are more things than usual, so when the number goes down I'm curious to see what it was.

If you are part of the 10% that would die laughing, copy and paste this into your signature. If you play Justin Bieber songs backwards, you can hear messages from Satan. Even worse, if you play them forwards you hear Justin Bieber. Groups (click to show ) |

What about recently adopted species instead, rather than individual eggs? Then you could see what species were in the shelter or lab, but there wouldn't be an individual user's name included with the eggs, so that users can't RAEG about a summon/novelty that was 'theirs' they missed. (for example, instead of *Person's* Egg, it'd be more like Adopted *Giratina* *3*)

I really like this idea, and if youre worried about people getting mad at someone taking the egg they wanted maybe it could just show the species and not the username of whoever adopted it. (sorry if this was already said)

(sorry if this was already said) Possilbe egg identification. How about just a picture of the egg/pokemon? Then you can find out what it was without identification. -------------------- Click to go to my party. 90% of teens would die if MySpace had a system failure and crashed.
