Sorry if there's already an idea like this but I didn't saw any ^^'''

I guess the most of you know the following problem/s:
You are trading a lot of items with another user and want to take the items from the traded pokemon. But you can't remember all pokemon so you have to search for it some time.
Or: You want to give some of your "new" pokemons an everstone, cuz you hatched a lot of pokemon in last time. but now you have to click at some pokemon to see if they already have an everstone or not.

Suggestion:
A small symbol for the Items in the Storrage Boxes near the pokemon.

I made a little example:



Pros:
-You can see very quickly which of your pokemon is holding an Item
-You can see which of your pokemon needs an everstone
(any more pros or maybe some cons?)

So what do you think? Do we need it or is it a waste of time?


Other suggestion:
BlueAbsol: "May I suggest something else? Not exactly an icon representing the actual item but a symbol so we know the Pokemon holds an item. Less coding, not many new mini sprites, blah blah."

thats a Great idea that way we can find the items much faster but why not the symbol be a mini picture of the item?

@Yveltal_King_Death
I'm not pretty sure if there's enough space for a mini picture. that's why i suggested it this way. (well.. and because of the time you need to pixel every single item in a smaller version)
I'll edit the idea as far as I know more ;)
Edited the post!

Full support!
I can find this being very useful for when people have lots of pokémon that need everstones on them.

I like the idea of you being able to see that the Pokemon has an item on it, but I don't like the one part you mentioned that every item should have their own symbol. If you're using a symbol for each item, I can tell that someone else could mix it up with a different item that starts with that letter.
Unless people would rather it be between a general "I" for item and "E" for everetone.

I also like the idea that maybe an mini image of the item the Pokemon is holding would be shown. I'm sure if it was fixed to a tiny image, there would be room for that image to fit. When looking through storage boxes at least.
But, the only way you can take an item from a Pokemon is if you go to their summary page.

Where are you suggesting that the image would be shown? Storage boxes, boxes (from user page), pop up box that shows all Pokemon, etc.?

I edited the previous post a lot and added an example (you were right there was enough space for the little images :D also added a more complicated image - a fossil- to see if it's big enough ^^)

Perfect. The visual really helped c:
It's not too crowded, and the images of the items fit, and aren't blurry so you can tell what is what.
This could help a lot.

I like your suggestion. Support from me cx

That does sound like a good idea but there are people who actually only use everstone on there pokemon so i dont find it a real good idea if you get what i mean

@Professor_Joe: I know what you mean
But what if you buy i huge amount of item from another users at once? (rare candies, fossils, boxes, keys etc)
You have to search for a very long time until you find the pokemon with those items, because a lot of users have more than 100 pokemon in a box (and all in all maybe 800+ pokemon)

or
you can easily miss a pokemon if you want to give every of your pokemon an everstone
(or to those which needs one), because you have to click on a pokemon before you see if it's holding an everstone.

I suggested it because it makes things easier. also for the people who just put everstones to their pokemon.
And I see a lot of people who are looking for huge amounts of items (and i don't mean gems). Yes, you can remember the pokemon if you trade just 1-3 items.. but it gets difficult if you trade 5, 8 or more items at once.

(i guess i made a lot of mistakes in this text >.< sorry)

Full support. I always forget to grab items off of Pokémon right away, then it's often a chore to find them even if I remember the Pokémon, because I have a lot of doubles. Item icons would be nice!

Thank you all for your support ^^

(And yes it'll need some coding and stuff but I'm willing to help with the spiriting if my little images are good enough. ^^)

I love this idea, and even having a tiny box near the pokemon to show if they are holding an item is better than nothing.

Like a small gift box next to the pokemon's sprite.

(sorry for the non transparency and tiny size, I was guesstimating and the blue keeps adding itself)

This would also be useful if you decided to send an item via wondertrade. The person could see that there is a held item prior to (for example) releasing the pokemon

If you can read this, you know how to read.

I agree with the idea, because basically, I tend to give other stuff like gems for my pokemon and, despite the fact that I'm a forgetful dunce, I can't remember where I put the map or anything else I give to the pokemon. I really agree that this should be implemented, even despite the fact that some, if not many, give only everstones to their pokemon, but the minority, like you and me, give other things to the pokemon to carry.

AMAZING IDEA
I have found a lot of really useful items in random pokemon, i got -for example- in WT, GTS... and i must click 200 pokemon one by one to see which of them haves an item.
You can know which of your pokemons needs en everstone, too, that's really good for people who is massclicked many times and loses Dex entries while he doesn't know why .3.

I fully support this idea and I think this would be very useful. One time I forgot one of my pokemon had a mystery key so this would be really useful. I know that if this idea was implemented into the website it would help all the users. I hope this idea gets enough support, as it may be implemented into the website if you gain enough support from other users.
