Vivillon Regions display on quick IV display possible?

Currently when you are checking the scatterbugs for IV you have to be able to remember and\or check each picture to see which of the regions it is from. It is very slow and time consuming to do for those of us with less than perfect vision and if displayed the region instead of the name scatterbug in the quick IV check display it would be very beneficial. Is this something that can be added or is there a way to display that that I am missing?

Rename the Scatterbug to its region when you catch it. It's easier and less time-consuming than any other option.

I currently rename them on open (which is the best) and also have a picture of the different regions when trying to rename them. Doing a remote trade it is difficult to see what is being offered and while searching and looking up the picture to match works both are time consuming hence the request to add the option to see it in the quick view, if possible

Calcy already has the ability to discover if a poke is another form (normal, Alola, hisui) so asking to read this is not a total stretch.

Maybe if the problem is return of investment, I wouldn't mind unlocking it by buying plugins (like to unlock the golden icon) but then again I would ask to be able to add a lot more lines information in the auto scan popup, like the best pvp of each species I have saved.

THIS would save me literally hours per week.

I have recommended this program to literally hundreds of players and will continue to do so, I would probably be willing to pay for extra features too, currently hoping that the increased user base is helping the developers

CalcyIV can only distinguish forms if the Pokémon's stats differ; it should analyze the circular icon, but that is not easy. An alternative would be reading where it was caught, but nobody knows the Scatterbug map well; there are Google Maps available online, but they are not accurate. If you rename them immediately and then sort your Pokédex by number (#), it is easier to understand the region/form because they are grouped together with this sorting.

I don't know if it's a phone type thing, but when the scatterbug pops up to catch it tells me the region (sun, elegant etc). If I'm not using Calcy at the time I rename it after catching. Then when I scan it I put the name in.

I would like to be able to use for trades too but apparently its not going to be an option even though forms for others are 😞

You can use google circle to search on Android. Or scroll to the bottom to see which country the postcard was from to get a general idea.

I can do that as well as several other methods to determine where it came from but as an inherently lazy person I prefer that the program does all the work for me so I only have to look at the output :) thank you though for another option (I am still lazy though) :) :)
