Save data for shiny pokemon the instant they are encountered

Since the servers are very prone to crashing, i suggest as soon as a special pokemon be it event, pink or shiny appears, immediately give it an ID and OT and activate a flag. Once the battle with the pokemon is over, remove the flag. If server crashes, while someone unlucky is in the middle of a battle with a special form pokemon, it will be detected (as the pokemon will still have the flag) and the player can be offered a new chance to battle the exact same pokemon in a place similar to the mysterious captain. Just a suggestion that will make everyone happy and feel safer playing on servers!
