Because I am a premium member my Pokeradar is on all the
time -- I think there should be an option to turn it off when it is
not in use.
I don't like the fact that it is on when I am not shiny
hunting.
Why?
Because I keep on getting random messages from people saying an egg
I got from wherever will 'break my chain'.
Or people begging me to do a shiny hunt for them -- it is
annoying.
A simple on and off switch would be nice, so we can turn it on and
off when we need or do not need it.
I don't see much of a point to this, but I still support. The
reasons you state are good. I remember seeing somebody with a chain
of 2 for Chespin and wondered how they were able to shiny hunt it.
After that, I found out you couldn't turn off your radar. This
makes stalking too easy since people can see every single thing you
hatch and ask you for it/offer on the 'shiny hunt'. It would make
things less complicated off Premium users could choose to turn off
their radar.
That is a good option as well -- making it so it doesn't show up on
your trainer page.
Either option is a good one, so long as you can 'turn it off'
somehow so others don't see it.
Felt a little awkward to click the reject button but uhh...
It seems that this is more about the notifications than the
pokeradar, i.e. if the pokeradar works, but only behind the scenes,
then there would be no complaint. So maybe the important thing is
to disable notifications for low chain numbers (say <5), as well
as have the option of not displaying it on your profile page.
I just think this would be a good idea for the premium because my
cousin tried shiny hunting only one time just to try it out and she
is prenium. She doesn't like that it stays on cause she probably
won't do another one since she likes Pokemon in the normal
look.
Plus it is really weird for it to stay on if you aren't doing one.
After every egg you watch it says you are starting a hint for that
one. I don't want premium because of that.
