Practicality of PRO on Android devices

[Furtifk]

 

 

I have a few simple suggestions which I hope shouldn't be too hard to set up and shouldn't make staff have to dedicate too many ressources into. These suggestions are for mobile devices especially android devices to make them more practical to use and less esthetic if needed since the game is graphically very pleasing.

-Making scrolling through bag much easier to do

This may seem easy on other pc and wide screen devices but for android devices which will mostly be small screen it's very hard to get hold of the scroll down/up bar. For fixing this I'd suggest you make the bar bigger even if the bag has to cover up the majority of the center of screen as I'm sure most people can't play in the background at the same as scrolling through bag anyways.

 

The very same applies for the pokedex:

 

 

- Another thing is the shortcut tab in the bottom left of the screen. Make it so we get only 3 but make them take up 6 spaces (enlargement).

The issue here is when we oftenly use an item from it such as all mounts/fishing rod/max repels, like 1/10times it will consider it as dragging it off the slot and remove it from the hotbar instead of using it. Even making sure to just tap it without holding down at all can remove it and it becomes very frustrating since you have to go through bag to put it back in the hotbar whilst also going through the trouble of trying to get hold of the scroll down bar in bag. This problem becomes quite annoying when you start fishing.

 

 

Overall:

The game on these devices runs very well and is graphically very good to look at and satisfying to play on however I think the game lacks in practicality making it sometimes very hard to accomplish a simple task. I think maybe trading a few esthetically pleasing aspects of the game such as small windows for bags for us to still be able to play in the background should be cut down and making way for some easier manoeuvring through bag and other pop up screens.

 

 

This is not such an important feature I guess but I'm pretty sure it would be nice and would benefit many and especially the users who only play on android. I've occasionally been playing on phone recently due to exams and travels which made me aware of these issues so I do not know of many struggles on android devices a part from those I mentioned. Feel free if you have an issue with similar things and would like to suggest it be changed, post it as reply :).

Also please note my phone isn't the best but it's screen is not that small either (11.1 X 6.3cm).

On a side note though the game runs very smoothly on these devices.

Yepp that in android its a problem

[Basanta]

1) map route nagivations

2) pokes base stat indications

3) items and tm description

4) keys like gba in pro up down left right

 

OR the one like in ppsspp emulator the circle one

5) zoom out service like that of pc /staffview1,2

Plz if this things be fixed in android it would be great

Items descriptions and map route navigations i think have already been discussed in a previous thread. Poke base stat display might be the same problem as them also since they don't want to display too much. But the keys coudl be a good idea although I prefer the way it is currently but could be good toggle option. Zoom out might make it even less practical since more elements to display on the screen :/

gba controls are a good idea, I agree there's a big problem with PRO UI on Android and it needs to be reworked. make windows like bag larger (like make it fill the whole screen) would be a good fix already. And for the scrolling there's no need for a scrollbar actually, they could implement the scrolling by dragging down and up like there is on every app I know of.

100% agree with this. scrolling is always a pain and im never able to see item descriptions.

Hi

In the pokedex when you want to see when your pokemon will learn a capacity, you just have to "unwind"? All capacity maybe it's possible to do the same with bag and pokedex ?

 

Have a nice day

The problem with dragging down to scroll down is that the feature is already used to move items from your bag to make a pokemon hold it or to drag it into your hotbar bottom left.

I see your point, but there's a way around it :holding longer before dragging to drag an item, just drag to scroll. this feature already exists in other apps
