POGO NEEEDS some major QOL updates in regards to gifting/pinning postcards

Complaint

Especially if you're a Vivillion collector, pinning postcards is the worst.

▪︎When you receive a gift, it should just tell you what region it's from instead of having to look at a teeny tiny map and guessing if the closest vivillion is correct. Honestly, there's no reason that the map isn't clearly divided to begin with.

▪︎It should tell you how many postcards you've pinned for a certain region, when you pin it. Having to go all the way back to the vivillion medal and try to keep track of quantities for each, so you don't accidentally have one waiting to spawn and wasting more pins (since they don't continue counting when there's one ready to catch.)

▪︎And there should be a visible counter for the gift limit. It's frankly ridiculous there's one at all (but they want that $$$$ when people run out of items)

I have nearly 150 friends and I can only open gifts from maybe half of them. And just being part of this sub, people not opening your gifts is apparently rage-inducing and grounds for deletion (RIP for any suburban/rural players who don't have enough pokestops around to send enough, either.)

▪︎While I'm at it, pre-set statuses on your page would be immensely helpful to communicate with friends (not a single person I've ever DM'd about trading has been on campfire, no matter the level.)

Things like "out of gifts", "hit gift limit", "unable to raid", "happy to raid!", "can't play today", "Looking for [Pokemon]", "dont want to trade" etc.

Right now you can name your buddy and hope your friends see it. Which is also annoying because maybe I don't want my shiny Volcarona to be named "2Busy2Play:(" in order to prevent longtime friends from getting upset that I can't raid/trade/gift/whatever daily.

Rant concluded.
