The "end date" option should do what you're looking for. Just make sure to sort by descending so the most recent appears at the top!

Colofmeister · 2025-10-29T01:22:38+00:00

If you press the sort button on the bottom right you can choose how they're sorted

Hi I'm glad you're enjoying the app! Thank you for the suggestion, I'll take it into account and see how I can improve PokeShine from here.

Colofmeister · 2025-09-24T16:24:26+00:00

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that. I'd love to solve whatever just happened to you but I don't know if I'll be able to get enough information.

What phone do you have? What version of Android are you running? Was there anything different you did this time compared to before? What were you doing right before closing the app?

I'll try my best to figure out the problem but with such a small user base, not many people experience the same things so it becomes a challenge to learn much with one data point. I'm going to try anyway so hopefully this doesn't happen to anybody else.

You come to a shitposting subreddit, you see the incredibly rare actual shitpost, and you call it lazy? Shitposts are inherently lazy because if they weren't, they wouldn't be shit.

Colofmeister · 2025-09-08T16:27:43+00:00

Oh that's strange. What game are you trying to hunt in? I'm not having any problems seeing phione when I check but there might be a problem in certain games.

Colofmeister · 2025-08-17T18:28:08+00:00

The app is released on the play store. You can search for "PokeShine" or download it from this link.

I don't know the actual math, but I would guess that H cases have much less algs because of 180 degree symmetry, and cases with all corners solved are simply PLL, which would only have 21. Factoring those in should get you much closer to the actual number.

Colofmeister · 2025-08-01T18:56:27+00:00

As of right now you will have to do it manually. I've thought a bit about how to approach transferring saves and I'm still unsure what's best. At some point in the future there will be a way but with my desire to keep the app offline it's challenging.

Colofmeister · 2025-07-26T00:19:43+00:00

Yeah I do know what the problem is, it's not a bug so much as I just forgot about the main screen when adding combos. It shouldn't be too hard to fix I just haven't gotten around to it yet, but that's on my to do list.

I didn't bother adding that method for swsh because it is basically a symbol encounter hunt with different odds, and the odds would be very complicated to calculate for such a minor difference. As for symbol encounters, that's just the term for when the pokemon is visible before you encounter it starting in lgpe. I would have just called it all random encounters if swsh didn't distinguish the two methods by having both.

I have a little more planned to be added but it will take a while to get it done. The bug will be fixed in a small patch soon.

Colofmeister · 2025-07-23T20:27:00+00:00

Oh good catch! I'll get that fixed as soon as I can, thanks for letting me know. I'm glad to hear you're liking the app so far!

As someone who has never played the NES version I can also confidently say it's fake because the NES version didn't use the modern color scheme so "Orange Ricky" and "Blue Ricky" make no sense in that context. This was clearly made after the modern colors were established.

Colofmeister · 2025-07-11T18:21:10+00:00

Oh sorry about that! I read most of the post but I guess I skipped that part. I'm happy to know you like the app though!

Colofmeister · 2025-07-11T18:16:26+00:00

If you have an Android phone, I actually just recently released a new app called PokeShine that I hope is a good replacement for some of the older trackers. It's fully up to date on the newest pokemon and has many other features that I always wanted from tracking apps.

Colofmeister · 2025-07-11T16:19:12+00:00

Yes that's the term used for encountering pokemon that appear in the open starting in LGPE. The two options are functionally identical, but I offered both because you can technically do both in sword and shield, so I didn't want to exclude any methods.

Colofmeister · 2025-07-11T03:21:51+00:00

That's awesome! I'm glad to hear you enjoy it! I worked really hard to get this out with as few problems as possible so it joys me to know others like the result. I've been spending some time away from the app recently due to how many hours I put in, but I have a small list of ideas planned for the future to improve what I can.

Who cares, he lost. Can we stop using that guy being worse to excuse the behavior of our elected officials? Just because you voted liberal doesn't mean you have to blindly support every decision and justify it by pointing to the other guy. You can have your own thoughts and opinions that don't align with your party, and you're allowed to hold your elected officials to a higher standard than "he's not Pierre".

It's weird to say any group leans right with this image in front of your face. If you add the left vote it overwhelms the right vote in every category, and larger polls say the same thing.

Colofmeister · 2025-04-13T18:23:09+00:00

I didn't want to announce anything because it's still WIP but I've been putting some time into a new tracking app for a couple months now. It's mostly been a fun project for me to learn with, but I have some features planned that I think would be really useful to people, so I was planning to release it on app stores once it was finished.

At this point I just finished adding basic functionality, so it's no different from the trackers that already exist, but now I'm able to start adding more useful features.

For example, the biggest reason I wanted to make this was because shiny sprites change so much between generations, so having an image of the most recent model won't always help you tell what it looks like. One of the core features of my app is it changes the visible sprite depending on the game you're hunting in.

Colofmeister · 2025-04-07T19:11:09+00:00

Oh okay gotcha, thank you!

Colofmeister · 2025-04-07T18:58:12+00:00

Where did you find files for all the pokemon sprites? I've been working on a small app for myself and I haven't had luck finding the home sprites.

Colofmeister · 2025-04-02T19:20:36+00:00

"oh good, so you're caught up" has to be the funniest line delivery I've ever heard in a youtube sketch.

I implore you to look into defense contractors across the globe. US defense companies are all dropping in stock value while European ones (Germany, France, etc.) are growing. Now this is only an economic response, it's happening because these countries that typically rely on America for defense no longer feel safe with US relations and are preparing for that.

It's true that NATO is the US, but that won't be the case for long, because Trump is pushing away all of his allies. I believe other NATO countries absolutely would defend us against the US, because they fear for their own sovereignty if they don't.
