Give IV to nickname

Open alawing opened this issue 8 years ago • 17 comments

Is that possible give IV to nicknames so after running we could manually by client to make decisions for the pokemons.

Setting the nickname of pokemon to the IV values so that the player can choose what to do from the client.

Great idea, that's very useful! just to be sure - you mean something like: 'Mewtwo-87%' , right?

maybe some pokemon's names are too long, so maybe Mewtwo87 or direct give 87

Love this idea, obviously optional as some will hate it. I believe the longest pokemon name in first generation is 10 characters (kangaskhan i.e.) With the max length of 12 characters in nicknames, This should make it possible to add two more characters behind it, but just to be safe you could add the percentage in front of the nickname (i.e. 87kangaskhan, or 100kangaskha) in case the name is too long anyway, it would just cut off a few letters of the pokemon's name.

Would conflict with the feature that prevents named pokemon to not get dropped.

Need to find a way to make both work then

@jabbink I think it would be nice to have it like this:

  • Prevent Pokemons which are favorite from getting dropped
  • Add IV to Pokemon name

-> Conflict resolved Toggle switch in config file would work, too.

I think it would be kinda cool to have this feature soon, because now as i left the bot on for days, and i have huge amounts for stardust but do not know which of my Pokemon to use it on because i don't know their IV values.

To set a nickname, the bot should send a request for each pokemon, less the favorite ones, to the server; and it will do it in less than a second. A solution would be to send a request every 5-10 seconds, but it will take a long time if you have many pkmns.

You can use http://www.pokemongonexus.com/ as a temporary solution for your problem. Doesn't give the pokemon names but shows you a list of all Pokemon with their names, CP and Strength/Defense/Stamina IVs.

Any support API for this?

alawing avatar Jul 27 '16 15:07 alawing

Could have a config to set nickname append with IV if iv>80?

Any ideas how to solve that without confusing every user?
