feat: Changeable background color for Pokémon in boxes

[Myldym]

It would be great to have the ability to change the background color of individual Pokémon in a box.

This could be used to highlight favorites or mark specific Pokémon with different colors.

@Myldym Would this be something that is stored with the box information or with the mon? In other words if you a move a mon does its background color move with it?

[Myldym]

Well yeah it might be tricky to do, but i think with the mon

[evanwporter]

Actually I don't think it would be that difficult to do if you just store the info with the pokemon. It would just another attribute in this file: https://github.com/andrewbenington/OpenHome/blob/main/src/types/pkm/OHPKM.ts.

Then in addition to that you need to add a visual difference to the pokemon in the box. The biggest thing is thinking about we place the options to mark the pokemon? Where would you put it @Myldym?

[Myldym]

i don't know much about coding, but maybe in those markings

like ability to change the markings in OpenHome

[evanwporter]

Those markings are the ingame markings, but I guess we could add an optional visual indicator like in top right corner or something

[andrewbenington]

honestly the easiest solution would be to store a 4-byte RGBA value in the OHPKM file. the hardest part would be finding a UI library for color picking

I'd jump on that little suggestion to bring something similar I had in mind : Being able to find fast which type of pokemon file it's from start (Generation 1 file, Generation 2 file etc) that way we don't mess up too much.

I thought of a little number in a corner or a color (maybe default thing ?)
