Custom Pokemon Healthbars (I HAVE A VISION)

As I lay deep in slumber, a booming vision swept my dreams away and caused me fixation on nothing but itself.
Pokemon Champions will be developed by ILCA, the creators of Pokemon Home, and Pokemon Home has a ton of stickers and backgrounds that can be used for your profile, which is insane because I don't even know how to look at someone else's profile. I think it would be much cooler to be able to use these on your Pokemon. Plus, Pokemon have a lot of data stored in them, like their moveset and gender and stuff, but there's actually a lot of really interesting data stored in each Pokemon that isn't showed often, and sometimes isn't shown at all.

Ribbons are a really cool way to show your loyalty to a certain Pokemon, but you can really only show off one at a time via selecting a ribbon to use as it's title. I think you should be able to display up to three ribbons or marks on your Pokemon's banner, they're just too cool to not be displayed.

Something else not many people know is that the exact game a Pokemon comes from is actually stored within it in a short hexidecimal code, but you can only see the region in the summary screen. Each Pokemon you have has the information stored within it to tell you if it's from games from Gen III - Gen IX, the virtual console games, Pokemon Go, it even knows if it's from Colosseum or XD, it knows everything. That should definitely be displayed, it's just such a cool tidbit.

I couldn't get the idea out of my head so I turned my idea into reality.
Each Pokemon has their basic information displayed; Level, gender, HP, and name, but I wanted more info to be viewable to everyone in battle to not only give those stickers and backgrounds a purpose, but also to make use of all the cool information stored in a Pokemon that's never shown to anyone who isn't very closely looking for it.

Now, each Pokemon displays their:
Pokeball -
A simple icon in the top left corner displaying what Pokeball they were caught in
Ribbons - Up to three ribbons can be displayed near the top right
Title - The ribbon chosen for the Pokemon's title will also be displayed next to their name
Original Game - Near the bottom left, you'll see a faded icon that's connected to what game it's from.

And, their banner can be decorated using the backgrounds and stickers from Pokemon Home.
Here are a few examples I have crafted with my own two hands
Dragonite.png

A Dragonite from Ultra Moon with the Alola Champion title, the Tower Master ribbon, Galar Champion ribbon, and Alola Champion ribbon.
Ogerpon.png

An Ogerpon from Scarlet with the Paldea Champion title, the Master Rank ribbon, and Paldea Champion ribbon.

Mawile.png

A Shiny Mega-Evolved Mawile from XD: Gale of Darkness with the 100x Victorious title, the Champion ribbon, National ribbon, and Earth ribbon.


I kinda just got bored today and decided to make these banners, there's no way in hell ILCA would do something as cool as this because they'd be shot down by Gamefreak even if they tried
It does leave the banner a little cluttered and the important text could definitely use some bigger outlines for clarity, but what do you guys think?
i think they should let me direct pokemon champions
let me know if i should make more i am unemployed

I personally think the idea of seeing the medals and the title is awesome! I do think it looks a bit cluttered for my personal taste with the stickers? But I LOVE the style and customization you could have with something like this. It would really make it feel personal and customization in Pokemon is one of the best parts in my opinion.

Love the idea and your banners look great!! :sphearical:

Receiving a single nice comment has justified the day I spent making this and I will now permanently log out from smogon to avoid the risk of potentially seeing a negative comment which would cancel it out

also yeah I definitely agree the stickers are a bit much but that might just be a result of me not really knowing how best to decorate a banner like this and kinda just throwing them around, if this were a real thing and someone else who was good at decorating and was more conservative with the stickers it'd probably look a lot better

Don’t worry, if anyone’s mean about their criticism (“constructive” or otherwise) they’ll get bonked! It’s a shame to see someone drop a cool idea and leave to never return, please do consider coming back with more concepts :)

I quite like the concept of the custom name plates, the examples you created look like they would really work great, I can imagine sitting down and spending a long time customizing my team’s plates to better represent their personalities.
I agree that the right user can really make it work with their individual skill, and any amount of customization for a battle is good, since the creatures themselves universally look the same. We’re long overdue for a feature like this!

I don’t have any concerns about these, the only thing I can think of is really a non-issue, with the prospect of someone using the type symbol stickers deceptively. If that’s the only problem, you’re good!!
