Hello, Please read this suggestion entirely and tell me what you think and what should i add to it :)
Hello, We all spent counteless minutes looking trough our storage boxes to find one pokemon. And most times it slips trough our eyes and we can't even see it, So this is a solution to solve it.
Insert the Pokemon search function for Storage boxes !

As the image above shows, it is pretty simple, An input box and a search button to find the pokemon i'm looking for, This is very similar to the search function in the pokedex!
Let's say, i couldn't find my charizard in my storage boxes, Just a simple type et Voila!

Do you like my suggestion? were the screenshot helpful enough to let you understand my suggestion? Please support this suggestion

For sure that's a good Idea (even if it has been suggested thousands of times before, but still). The only thing you can add I think is something to say in which box the pokémons are, because, you know, many of us are trying to complete their Dex and are sorting their boxes ..

I'm pretty sure that the Pokemon are organized in their respective PokeDex number. If you're trying to find a Pokemon with a large PokeDex number (eg; Latios is #381), then it makes sense to scroll to the place where you think that number will be, making the search easier.

I don't mind having this, but it's already cramped up in the Boxes itself. I, and maybe others, are not fond of this.

However in the end I'm neutral.

You can always work with the search function that comes with each browser. Simply hit CTRL + F (Command + F for Mac) and you'll be given a search box, usually at either the bottom or the top of your browser. Then start typing the name of the Pokémon you're looking for. If one or more of the species are located in the box you're browsing, it'll jump to there.

The only handicap; you have to search boxes manually/separately.

(This also works on mobile devices, though not via key commands (obviously). You'd have to check your mobile browser for the 'search site' feature (or something among these lines).)

@Liirah
Yes, it is possible to go trough boxes and use CTRL + F to find them but it is so annoying to click each box seperatly and write the pokemon again...
I know this sounds like a lazy option, i don't think its a priority tbh, but just taught this shoumld be made someday.

Thankfully, on most browsers all you have to do is bring up the search menu again and press enter because what you searched previously. I don't see how this would have much impact on things unless you had a huge amount of boxes- but if so, you'd probably have already organized them.

I personally like it, but i'd put it below the boxes not above for space reasons.

if you're not sure if you have a pokemon or of it's dex number it is easiest and faster to be able to type in it's name then to have to search each box by hitting keys that not everyone will remember, it would also make seeing if another user already has a specific pokemon easier when trading in the GTS and they ask for something they don't have.

Simple and Unnecessary sure but it would get plenty of use to be worth it in the long run. Also, I read the key thing about 5 times and already couldn't tell you what keys they were for my computer type, I don't imagine younger users to want to have to remember that either.

As said by Liirah we have the Ctrl+F feature where we can search any pokemon in storage boxes.
