Although this is a minor adjustment, this issue absolutely annoys me to no end.

What I suggest is that we change the obtained and hatch date in a Pokemon’s profile from it’s current format (1 Year 3 Months ago, etc.) to a static date (27 April 2020, 08:42)

Why?

While our current system doesn’t really have any glaring issues, it would help immensely for people who keep a diary on the site to better keep track of dates, especially for their older Pokemon. I can attest to how infuriating it is to forget to record the hatch/obtained date of a Pokemon and come back to it later none-the-wiser, especially so for shinies that were caught outside of a chain, and hence can’t be properly traced using the Pokeradar history. It would also help to prevent such a situation from happening to new players who are interested in making their own diary as well.

I’m not quite sure how it is currently being calculated, or how difficult it would be to make this QoL adjustment, but if it can be done I would be immensely grateful.

We can instead provide the exact date below the current display, as seen below:

Agreed.

Just displaying the Date/Time and then (X Years, X Months, X Days Ago) similar to how a user profile displays join date would make finding the date not a huge hassle or make you accidentally skip up by a day or 2.

i like the idea but i think the exact time should also be on the pokemon profile
maybe something like this?

Honestly, that would be equally as useful as well for a compromise, to help retain the current style of design while also relaying information needed. May I have permission to use the image?

Bump!
