I was going to say that the presence of these elements feels a bit like an 'Easter Egg', except that they are rather obvious and designed to draw the user's attention. It wouldn't make much sense if not for the Pokemon Go craze, but I still think it is a breath of fresh air, especially for a large corporation like a bank. | |

| Oct 20, 2016 at 18:04 | comment | added | DasBeasto | While I'm all for delightful non-functional components on a website (also a pokemon fan) I find that Omanyte wildly out of place and I'd find it confusing. If you we're in a module for say "copying/pasting" and there we're a Ditto next to the copy instructions then it would clearly be a joke and I'd find it amusing. | |
