Make chosen Pokémon configurable

[kagof]

Current behaviour (optional)

If a Pokémon is added, it is added. There is no way for a user to exclude a Pokémon that they don't like or think is ugly.

Description of the desired feature (required)

We could add an appearance configuration page for this app, which lets the user decide which Pokémon to include. By default, all would be included.

Why this feature would be valuable (optional)

As more and more Pokémon get added, it is more and more likely that people will come across one that they don't want to be included.

How to implement this feature (optional)

this is JetBrains' guide for making a plugin have settings https://jetbrains.org/intellij/sdk/docs/reference_guide/settings_guide.html

• we would need to add a settings page, with a list of all Pokémon that a user can enable/disable as they please. Ideally, this list should be generated at runtime not compile time, so we don't need to manually update it every time we add a new Pokémon.
• the state of these settings would have to be persisted
• We need to consider the case where the user turns off every Pokémon. What do we do here? Maybe just a bar that fills with the colour but no Pokémon? Maybe an Easter Egg, like Red or a Pokéball, or MissingNo? Maybe we just set the progress bar back to what it was before this plugin was loaded?

Hi @kagof just stumbled over this thread while looking for a way to configure the used pokemon.
Could you add some instructions on how to do it, I can't seem to figure it out.

@fbecker-complex you're not the first person to ask about this; I think I should add to the README and the plug-in description.

But in the mean time for your reference, this setting can be found under Preferences > Appearance & Behaviour > Pokémon Progress

Thanks for the quick reply!

Yes, I think that would be nice to help people like myself.
Now it works!

Great plugin, by the way 😉
