Duplicate Pokemon forms

Requested by darkfire006:

Currently all forms are listed in the forms section, it would be nice to atleast have an option to hide one form per pokemon ex: hide the male forms in the gendered section, hide normal rotom form but leave the Appliance forms, etc

Since one of each form will be in the main dex it makes it very redundant for tracking and less easy to match against what I have in my boxes

    At this point, that would require completely re-factoring how the boxes and pokemon are added to the page. I’ll keep this open to be voted on by other users, though.

    New add-on from another user:

    For organization purposes, I would recommend under the alternate forms and such for different pokemon that the base form not be included, so it doesn’t confuse box layout. For example, only having Red Floette in the live dex, and the other colors under the alt forms. Similar with the gendered forms, either the male in the livedex, or whatever the official art’s default is while the others are under the alt forms. If unclear like with Mamowswine/Rhydon, I’d just default to male.

    For me, this is easily the best Home living dex tracker out there. UI is super easy, looks great and feels great to use. But the duplicated forms (such as male forms in the ‘form’ boxes) mean doubling down on some work, which is a much larger issue when attempting a shiny living dex.

    I’d love to see a change to either make it so duplicates (usually male or primary forms) are not included in the boxes belonging to Gender / Alt forms 👍

    Site is amazing though, genuinely thankyou!

    Taking a quick look at the gender alts boxes, I think part of my original thought process was to be able to show the differences between them. Given that the sprites aren’t all that big though this may be a moot point. And since each Pokémon’s info card will show its gender.

    Yeah that makes complete sense, fully get the approach. I guess it’s really only tricky for the rare mons or when trying to use this for the shiny dex.

    For example, playing Legends Arceus 3 times (which is a fairly long game) to catch the normal and therian form of Enamorus multiple times (one for the main box and two for the alt) is painful when you only need two forms. Some people might prefer it I guess but it can be a pain for rare forms. It’s not enough to make me swap to any other site though because again, this site is just so good!

    That makes complete sense, yeah. Another user suggested a compact mode toggle, which may be a good way to have the best of both worlds. It’ll likely require quite a bit of time to overhaul the way the UI is coded though so I’ll need to think about the best way to implement this and play around with a few options.

    Had an idea about a way to implement this - we already have Grid View and List View, what about adding a third Compact View? It would mean minimal time overhead on my part, I wouldn’t have to completely rejigger the code, and people could easily choose which view to use.

    Seems reasonable to me, there will definitely be people who want to use it in current form so a 3rd option to allow this choice sounds great! Especially if it’s easier for you as well 👍
