"The need for a Pokédex overhaul"

#PokemonGO: Right now, the Pokédex just feels like a missed opportunity to me. The whole idea of a Pokédex is to help you feel more familiar with the Pokemon and get to know them better. Right now, the Pokédex is mostly a big loading screen after which you only find mostly disappointing results. Yet, I feel like there is a lot that could be done to improve the Pokédex!First things first, it is pretty rough for most players around me to search for any Pokémon in the Pokédex. A search function just like in the Pokémon storage would be an huge help! Especially typing filters would be great.Furthermore, it would be awesome if we could get more data out of the Pokédex, as well as a better visualization. For example, the typings are just written in words out at the moment, while everywhere else, icons/symbols are used to express what type a certain move is for example. My idea would be to implement the icons together with the words so it becomes clearer what typing the Pokémon exactly is.Another thing I would love to see in a new version of the Pokédex, would be the option to see what kind of moves the Pokémon could learn. Either having a Pokémon with the move, or battling against one should allow the Pokédex to pick up the move and add it to the seen data. Also allowing to search for moves in the Pokédex would be amazing.Other things I can imagine, is that you are able to see what shiny or lucky Pokémons you have already encountered/caught. Would be an useful feature for those who are trying to collect a shiny/lucky dex.Oh yeah, also, making it so that you don't have to load the entire Pokédex anymore everytime you try to open it would be quite a help. This just makes searching for a Pokemon even harder, which sounds pretty counter-intuitive to me.I'm curious to know what you think about the ideas? Do you agree? Or do you perhaps have a different idea how to change the Pokédex? Would love to hear your ideas!TLDR; Right now, the Pokédex just feels like a missed opportunity. The whole idea of a Pokédex is to help you feel more familiar with the Pokemon and get to know them better. Right now, the Pokédex is mostly a big loading screen with dissappointing results. Furthermore, the entire Pokédex could really use a search filter and added functionality. via /r/TheSilphRoad http://bit.ly/2SbhfST
