[Feature Request] improve the Pokemon balloon infos for bike hunting

Open philcerf opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

Hey.

As you may imagine,... I do hunt a lot ;-) Most of the time, shiny hunting by bike, where I have the phone in one hand... and a 2nd phone with the map in my jacket. I plan an "optimised" order in which I drive from Pokemon to Pokemon, and once I've visited a few, I remove them from the map, so that I can keep a good overview on where to go next.

For this I click the Pokemon I've already checked out and in the balloon info, click the trash icon.

Now here comes the problem(s): a) For a smartphone screen, the whole balloon info is pretty big, with lots of information, most of which I don't care when hunting for shinys (in contrast to when hunting IV 100% or other cases). From the infos, I'm basically only interesting in the pokemon name, the times and maybe the IV (the later would be enough in tiny letters).... moveset, weight, cp,... all irrelevant for shiny hunting.

Making the balloon info smaller, would have the advantage, that my map doesn't move when I click on on.

even (much) more important:

b) The link and symbols for notify, hide, remove and view. The really important one here is just remove... especially notify, hide and view are completely irrelevant when one is one the go doing shiny hunting.

In fact,... the are extremely annoying. Why? The icons are pretty small, when it's cold and one has to wear gloves during hunting... clicking those icons is already pretty tough (since they're small) and often one accidentally clicks on the neighbour, which requires one to stop driving, and re-set the map.

What would be nice here.... drop the notify, hide and info buttons altogether.... make the trash icon much bigger... and maybe some more space to the link (which is most of the times IMO irrelevant when shiny hunting.... but well)

Maybe all this could be done by adding something like an interface mode option... where one can select "standard" where everything is as it's now... and "some-well-fitting-name" which implements my suggestions from (a) and (b).

Thanks :-)
