"Being able to keep the "postcards" friends send to you via gifts!"


#PokemonGO: I just thought of this neat and small idea. It wouldn't be anything huge or game changing, but I think some would like it.In Ingress, there are portal keys, which are used to link to and recharge far away portals, and some people, like myself, like to keep a few of them from portals in placed they've visited as "souvenir keys", because not only are they used for those essential gameplay purposes I said earlier, you can also look at the portal images, description, and even the surrounding area.In Pokemon GO, when someone sends you a gift it comes with a "postcard" attached, which has the pokestop cover photo, it's general location, and who sent it to you. This got me thinking... why not be able to keep that postcard?It could work this way:While similar in nature, it would be completely separate from gym badges.They would get sent to you via gifts, exactly like they already do.Postcards would be stored inside an album of sorts, in the player profile.This would then display every different one you've received.They would not take up inventory space.Tapping one displays it in full, just like it does when you receive a gift.Tapping a button, or scrolling down, displays a list of friends who have sent you that same card, to prevent duplicates from "cluttering" the main album.If you already have that postcard, and the name of who sent it to you on the list, nothing would change.The person sending the gift can choose not to have their name sent to the list.Instead of having someone send it to you, you could also keep one for yourself if you are visiting somewhere, for example, as a souvenir. It would be given to you in a 100% chance the first time you spin it, like gym badges. Your own name would not be displayed on the list.You could keep a metric of total times it has been sent to you, and even one where it showed how many times you've spun that specific pokestop.You'd be able to sort them by distance, name, etc... Or even search for a specific one.I know this might not be perfect, at all, but it's just an idea for a concept. It can surely be improved upon, but overall, I think it would make a neat feature. What do you think?Edit: Minor text fixes via /r/pokemongo http://bit.ly/2PdSi4z
