When I decide I want a certain pokemon, I usually look for it in the Pokemon Rankings link by searching it's name so I know who has one because it's easier than searching all over the place to find it. One problem I do have though is being able to tell which of those trainers in possession of that pokemon is currently online. I thought of this, there could be some kind of indicator in most of the places that our names show up letting others know if we are online or not kind of like how it is on the Friends list, but taking up little to no more space on the page. It could be a green or red dot next to the name or a box with a check mark or "x" in it or just make the name green or red.* It would make it easier to see if a certain person was online from pages such as the rankings pages, the Auction House, the Inbox, and others that may have slipped my mind.

*Having the names change green and red would probably interfere with some names like the names of the staff being different colors.

If you go onto there profile you can see if there on or off but a little green X for on and red for off would also be very helpful i guess :)

I think this is a great idea, I do the exact same thing and never know which person is online at that moment. This would be very useful :)

This doesn't really serve much purpose as we know there is an offline and online indicator on the individual profile.

If someone sends you a PM, usually you'd reply regardless or whether or not they're online. Even if they're not online, they'll still get it when they come online.
The Pokemon Rankings real purpose is to see who has the highest level Pokemon; whether or not the trainer is online really doesn't mean anything. Even if you use it to search for Pokemon, you can still PM someone that's not online.

One of the more specific suggestions. Even though it wouldn't help much, if a user's username were in game like this evverywhere, it would help.

same no ?

Would like the idea.. Maybe met green(light) boxes and red boxes.. So you can see who's online at that moment and who is not, since people/kids cant wait to get their pokemon obviously haha.. 9/10!

your text is very very long and it is true that online offline indicator is not good

Advantage and disadvantages like the AH online indicator it is bit interesting if you dont know if you have enemy to counter your offer

I think its a good idea.
I checked so many times that infront of my friends name there i saw the signal of online. But after seeing his stat he was online before 52 min. Thats the problem. This could be very useful. Thanks 10/10.

i think that online/offline indecater player is online indicater should show green like the cars when it start it increased that only if the player is sitting for almost half an hour it should full shadow of green and if the player is offline for an hour the indicater should show full red like an car indecater

yeah that would be really useful i know what you mean cause i do that all the time so this is a great idea 9/10

This idea is good and nice i like it well yeah really i saw many people offline for months and some are for years
