Solution 1: Existing icons with color selection

Solution 2: Multiple icons in marking field

Solution 3a: Dynamic 50 SV marking with stat icons

Solution 3b: Discarded alternatives to suggestion above

The current marking system in the Temdeck is insufficient for breeding purposes, as any breeder can tell you.It is currently difficult to use the marking system to recognize which step of the breeding chain you're in for breeding perfects.Here are some proposals for improvements.This would allow anyone to make specific shape-color combinations to indicate each step in the breeding chain easily. For example, one could associate the color green with the HP and STA pairings, and choose UP for HP, DOWN for STA, SQUARE for HP STA and CIRCLE for HP STA SPD. Red would go for ATK and SPATK, blue for DEF and SPDEF. Yellow could be used for SPD. A white star could be chosen to indicate a perfect normal Temtem, or a yellow star for a perfect Luma Temtem.Keep the existing markings and their static colors, but allow the user to select two markings at the same time. This could, just like the above solution, allow the user to make various combinations for each step of the breeding chain to easily recognize which SVs are present. It is less clean than the previous suggestion however and less effective than the ultimate suggestion that follows:This is my favorite solution with a mockup displayed below. It acts as a 13th icon, but is unique in that it automatically fills dependent on which SVs are maxed. In the first example below, all stats are maxed. In the second, HP, ATK and SPATK are maxed, but others have SVs of 49 or lower.The icons are arranged in accordance with the breeding gear: Speed is unique and goes in the center. HP and STA are paired with the Vigor strand, ATK and SPATK with the Mighty strand and DEF and SPDEF with the Immunity strand, and the corresponding icons are paired in a clockwise fashion. This would make it incredibly easy for breeders to recognize the step in the breeding chain with just one look at the dynamic icon.I chose a light blue color to match the gear slot on the right, which looks best in my opinion. This is the clearest implementation I could think of, providing a huge benefit to breeders while remaining completely optional and without cluttering the interface. This suggestion even works on small resolutions as you can recognize the SVs purely based on their position, even if some details of the stat icons themselves are lost. Another advantage is that the calculation is done client-sided, not increasing the server storage load.Here are some alternative implementations I explored which each leave the existing marking slot intact, but have the disadvantage of cluttering the interface more. So... yeah. Just ignore this and look at solution 3a.
