[Idea] What do you guys think?

I hit 35 recently and my collection is growing. So I was thinking how best to organize these pokés... What if we had multiple favourites - ★1, ★2, ★3, ★4, ★5. You could tap the ★ to favourite a pokemon additional times. Sorting by favourite on the Pokémon screen would sort all ★1's to the top of the list by CP followed by ★2's, etc... This would us to group attackers separate from defenders or anyway that suits the player.

TL;DR - What if we had multiple favourites - ★1, ★2, ★3, ★4, ★5.

I keep reloading my app but Niantic hasn't added this yet. Why haven't they added it yet?!

Could see 0-3 stars or 0-7. It's running on a binary device, right? That's why stats go 0-15. Nice idea, but not holding my breath for Niantic to implement it.

Well arrays start at 0, right? The numbering system shown to the player can still start at 1 (doesn't have to).
Fair enough but that's why I'm putting it out there.

Yes, but every pokemon needs to have a star field, and for the ones that you choose not to star, well, they should get a zero, shouldn't they?

And yes, you can start the numbering system shown to the player anywhere you want, and give it any scale you want. You know, math, and all that.

All I'm saying is that, as long as we're proposing moving away from a no-star/star system (or 0/1), it would likely be a power of two number of choices.

I would rather see different 'tags' rather than numbering the same tag....it is an old request that was made by players a lot in the past, but we have given up on hoping that Niantic listen to what it is that we want as QoL updates.

With different tags I could tag them as I see fit and have a tag for attackers, a tag for defenders, a tag for my collection of my choice (lvl1, CP666, legacy or what ever personal collections people have), a tag for trade bait etc.

These could just be single different 'icons' rather than the same icon with a number next to it, which would just get messy on screen.

It would also mean that each mon could carry multiple tags, if it fits multiple criteria.

A better "name" editor would help a lot.
With Copy/Paste and ability to add text at the beginning without erasing everything.

I just add !! and sort by A-Z.

Totally support such a system. I do not enjoy adding symbols to my Pokemon's nicknames to differentiate them from each other, and favouriting is currently a catch-all system I use for anything that isn't meant to be transferred at a later date.

The real games referred to them as markings.you could mark with a star circle square or triangle. Yes I think it would be a welcome addition
