"[Idea] 12 Minor QOL changes that would improve the gameplay experience."


#PokemonGO: I don't claim any of these to be original ideas of my own - and, when I say 'minor', I do understand that sometimes even the smallest change can take some effort, and maybe more effort than it's worth for my nit-pickyness, but here's 12 tweaks that would be a blessing to see added to the game.1.) Consistent Exit Button Placement: A well-designed GUI usually has similar buttons in the same place. It's why in Wincrosoft Windows, the first two options on the menu bar are usually File and Edit and why there's nearly always an X in the top, right corner. But, in PoGo, sometimes, the exit button is in the bottom, middle, other times it is in the top, left. Putting this in the same place throughout the game would be handy. One of the biggest advantages of this - if you move the exit button to the top-left on the Pokemon information screen, it will no longer overlap with the evolve/power up buttons. Yay!2.) Night mode: Either as a full-time option or something that kicks in after sundown in-game, night mode would help us who play a lot in the dark. Basically, black menus. You know how you'll be playing, pull up the near by, and the dark screen will blind you with a white menu? Yeah. Dark backgrounds would really help. The "going too fast" popup is a huge annoyance, as you cannot even prepare for it like you can when you know you're about to hit a menu.3.) Persistent on-screen timers for Lucky Eggs, Star Pieces, and Incense: As much as I would like to be able to stack these, that's not really a minor QOL thing - but having them display inside every screen (particularly, inside raids and while doing evolutions) would be really useful.4.) Raid Lobby 'Ready' Button: You still have the two-minute countdown, but you can hit an "I'm Ready!" button as well. If all players hit this button, then a second timer overrides the primary timer to a ten second count-down. It's really painful that some raids take less time to complete than the lobby itself does.5.) On-screen Egg Indicator: Similar to the buddy graphic, a small indicator showing your progress on your next closest to hatch egg. This would help when you forget to put an egg on and would help a little to help plan for eggs to hatch. Pressing this could also take you direct to the egg selection screen, instead of having to go menu, Pokemon, slide over. Then, combine this with...6.) User-interaction to hatch an egg: Instead of automatically popping up the 'Oh?' screen at the most inconvienent times ever ("Oh, you just rushed to this raid that is about to end? Naw, here's your nine 10k eggs you incubated all at once instead. And six of them are Sudowoodo."), an on-screen indicator that requires the trainer to tap it to bring up the egg hatching screen would be a blessing.(Cont...) via /r/pokemongo https://ift.tt/2Gs9qxt
