"Let's Talk Quality of Life Enhancements"


#PokemonGO: We all know that there will eventually be big updates coming to the core structure of the game, with additions of features from the mainline series such as trading, PvP, and new Pokemon.What I'd really like to focus on, however, is changes that can be made to the existing structure of the game that make it more convenient or generally more fun to play.Some of the ones that I would like to see include:Save Battle Lineups: The current system of suggesting battle lineups is often nonsensical. I would like to see the ability to set your own six, and perhaps save several configurations that you could select with just one button from the gym screen.Grace Period for Adding Pokemon to Gyms: People sniping gym slots is highly annoying, especially, for example, when you have spent a lot of time building a gym from level 9 to level 10. This problem is compounded by the fact that whenever you defeat a Pokemon while training, the prestige gain is implemented immediately, even if you continue to battle the next Pokemon. Furthermore, when you complete the battle, it boots you out of the gym screen and you have to reopen it to add a Pokemon. This could all be fixed if for a short period of time after defeating an opposing gym or raising the level of an allied gym, e.g. 2 minutes, you are the only person who can add a Pokemon to the gym.Improve Healing of Pokemon: Perhaps PokeStops could give you the option of choosing to receive Pokeballs or Potions, or Pokemon Centers where you could go to fully heal your party could be implemented.Toss Unwanted Eggs: I see this as highly unlikely to happen because the current system strongly incentivizes people to buy incubators. But it would be nice to be able to toss all those 5km eggs if you no longer want them so that you can potentially pick up 10km eggs.Edit: I think there are a lot of good comments criticizing this particular ideaRecall Pokemon from Gyms: Currently, you cannot get a Pokemon back from a gym unless an opposing player kicks it out. I know it is truly a first-world problem to have a Pokemon sitting on a gym forever that you can't have back, but it would be nice to at least have the option to use that Pokemon again. Not a brag--just for an example--I put my maxed Water Gun/Hydro Pump Blastoise on a gym a few weeks ago and it is still there. At the time, I didn't have many high CP defending options; since then, I've picked up more duplicate Exeggutors, Slowbros, etc. that I prefer to defend with, and I'd like my Blastoise back for battles.Map Viewing Function: The current viewing range is restrictive. It would be nice to be able to be able to have a world (or at least regional) map to view, in order to find PokeStops and gyms. If you could view what team owns a particular gym and what Pokemon are on it, you could use that information to plan a route, especially if you are planning on driving.Adjust Audio Volume: This is just a little pet peeve of mine, but I'd like to be able to independently adjust the SFX and music volume levels. The first thing I do for every game I play is to go into the options and adjust the volume levels so that they are voice>music>SFX.Add More Audio Tracks: Pretty self-explanatoryWhat ideas do you guys have, and/or what thoughts do you have about what I'd like to see? via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2bokIq4
