Bored, did a quick search and couldn't find it. So what if we had a Ribbons box on the actual Pokemon's page? Other than being purely aesthetic to obtain for individual pokemon - it could potentially open ideas for a 5th set of badges. Ribbons obtained could be from milestones, achievements, or even quirky/funny mishaps.



Examples;
- Friendship Ribbon: Been together for X year(s) without intermission/being traded. (Removed when traded)
- Onsite Ribbon: 1st OS to 10th OS
- Onsite Shiny Ribbon: 1st OS to 10th OS
- Level Ribbon: 100, 250, 500, 1000... (retroactively upgrades to reduce ribbon clutter)
- Popular Ribbon: Received 1,000,000 Interactions
- Well Fed Ribbon: Fed 1,000,000 Berries
- Top Percentage Ribbon: Max IV's.
- Sweet Tooth Ribbon: Fed 100 Rare Candies
- EV Ribbon: Max EV's.
- Explorer Ribbon: Rumbled 500 Times
- Defeated [Insert Rumble Legendary] Ribbon
- Beauty Ribbon: Placed Top 3 in Beauty Contest
- Big Bug Ribbon: Placed Top 3 in Bug Catching
- Wonder Trade Ribbon: This Shiny Gyarados pokemon has been Wonder Traded 25 times.
- Battle Ribbon: 100 Battles
- Evil Magikarp Ribbon: Fainted 25 Times
- Event Ribbon: Hatched from Event Distribution..
- Ducklett Ribbon: This pokemon was interacted by Riako.
- Hidden Ribbons: Meeting ??? criteria for hidden ribbons.


Main Points:
- Additional Content/Feature that can be presented in a fun way.
- Leaves room for upgrading and implementing other features into it.
- Sense of accomplishment and added value not only extrinsically, but most importantly intrinsically. Provides Pokemon with a little bit more individualism.
- The coveted Ducklett Ribbon. Refer to Riako's last post - the joke.
Quote from RiakoOkay, okay, I have returned all interactions. Stop reporting me, jeez. I'm only one warning away from a perm-ban.



Then bam instant content like Ramen as well as segwaying into more possibilities & new badge(s). Collected X ribbons across your Pokemon. Apologies if I got a bit colorful with the Ribbons, obviously numbers and names may have to be changed too lol

Thank you if you read this far and if you support the idea. Feel free to comment on any "must-have" or funny ribbons you may have thought up, as well as any improvements.

Possible Ideas/Example:

- Open Box Displaying all possible Ribbons that can be obtained (like Badges Showcase on Profile)? Hints?

- Remove box lines/Don't display grey'd out Ribbons? Display only Ribbons obtained, no hints? Especially since no one Pokemon can obtain every single ribbon.

- Possibly add a feature to predominately display a specific Ribbon to the right-side of Level & EXP thus adding customization for the user?

- Create a new page directing to the Pokemon's Ribbon Box?

- Someone that isn't bad make the example?

Yes, this is a wonderful idea. It would make these virtual pokemon closer to us. Especially the friendship ribbon.

People often think the PH sprites are bland. Do they shade? Well, yes they do. You'll be surprised how much care is taken for these sprites.

Seriously though, I support it. It looks pretty cool, although it could have some changes...

Full support! This would be useful for trainers like me who aren't quite as skilled as Medal Ralliers and want to feel the satisfaction of receiving an award for our Pokemon.

@meme
Thanks for your support. To clear your concerns;

Quote[Insert Limited Time Ribbon Here] isn't explained very well

Generic block for generic event ribbons that is an idea that could be implemented for future events. Such as 'Santa Helper Ribbon': Did a thing during Christmas 2018, thus "[Insert Limited Time Ribbon Here]: Did stuff at a certain time of the year."

Quote-Im not sure if EVs are a thing here, plus getting perfect IVs or EVs is kiiinda hard

EVs exist and can be improved through Interaction/Vitamins/Salon. IVs also exist however there is currently no way to calculate/see them.
Like badges, they're not intended to be easy. They're milestones/achievements that an individual Pokemon has obtained - otherwise what's special if everyone has them? Due to the nature of the many ways we can receive Pokemon - it's impossible that any 1 Pokemon will have them all and that's fine.

Quote-"Trust me I'm a Doctor" Ribbon's name is too big
-Burn it with Fire Ribbon's name is kinda...harsh?

Contained in the second to last paragraph in my post for the "obviously numbers and names may have to be changed too lol". I threw in random names that I thought were funny or couldn't think of anything. :P

Please note that these Ribbons were simply examples and may or may not be added even if this was approved. Staff could completely keep the Ribbon Feature but leave out the rest and create their own Ribbons. :(

Also lol
