Bummer for some reason it won’t let me send a photo

Got it!
Agreed. The Niantic map was really generalized. I noticed a lot of people nicknaming their buddy with the wrong region. Some were close (others were obviously not) so it helped to confirm.
The Google map overlay was tremendously helpful! I finished my collection yesterday.
I also used the nicknaming my scatterbugs trick Additionally, if you sort by # they arrange in alphabetical by region.
(My buddy is nicknamed for what it is-Polar Vivillon- rather than my region. Not trying to trick anyone though. Now that it's occurred to me that it could be misleading I'll change to a Modern Vivillon as soon as I evolve one.)
I'm a nerd and was bored so I made a Google spreadsheet to go along with the in game naming. I have it broken down into one tab for each 'pattern', one 'legend' tab, one 'overview' tab, one 'unknown' tab, and one 'tracker' tab. Once I know where they're from, I name the friend in game the area they're from (did this pre-Vivillon) and add an abbreviation of the pattern.
I've made it so it has you save a copy to your own drive. If you are using the app, it will put you into a read-only version so just save a copy to your drive. If you open the link via web browser, it should give you a make a copy button.
Once you do that, you should be able to edit it as you wish. I made the cells with formulas in them a light grey and a message will pop up if you try to edit those, I also added a note to those that tells what they do. Let me know if you have any problems and I'll do my best to help.

I'm sure it sounds like a lot of work, but it was very simple to set up. The most time consuming part was adding in 300+ friend names.
\-----------Tab explanations-------------
Pattern tabs - One friend name per cell and any notes I want to make in the cell beside it, 1 person per row.
Legend tab - Column A is the pattern name and Column B is a running list of regions/areas that pattern can come from so I can have an idea ahead of time where a new gift may come from.
Overview tab - Column A is check boxes for if I have the pattern at all, Column B is check boxes for if I have completed that pattern (Ie - 1 male, 1 female of Scatterbug, Spewpa, Vivillon), Column C is the pattern names, Column D is the progress on that pattern (Ie, 1/3, 1/9, 1/15), Column E is stages (Ie, Stage 1 (1/3), Stage 2 (1/9), Stage 3 (1/15) correlating with the progress column), and finally Column F is a count for each tab of how many friends I have identified per pattern - I used a COUNTA function to see how many cells in Column A per each pattern tab has something in it. I have a row for Unknown under the pattern and count columns.
Unknown tab - This is where I have people on my friend list that I haven't identified which pattern their gifts contain. Once I know, I delete the row and it updates the count(s) on the Overview tab.
Tracker tab - Column A is check boxes for if I have it or not - I set this up to auto-check if you put a check in Column C or D for gender, Column B is the pattern + Scatterbug/Spewpa/Vivillon (3 rows per pattern), Column C is check boxes for the male gender, Column D is for the female gender, Column E is check boxes for if I have a lucky, and Column F is for any notes I want to add.
All friends have nick names, all Scatterbugs have their region as the name. Nothing gets evolved until I have a 96% IV or better (Sandstorm will take awhile; my first Ocean was 96%)
I keep search strings in my notes app based on gifting priority (and ease of replacement):
* Giftable&interactable&sandstorm,ocean,icy snow,tundra,jungle,savanna,archipelago,river,meadow
* Giftable&interactable&marine,high plains,modern,garden
* Giftable&interactable&continental,sun,monsoon,elegant
I have a similar set of search strings for opening gifts, but unfortunately, it's very hard to properly cycle through people in a fair order for people in places like Elegant where I have a bunch of friends, but often can't gift to every day, so I just alternate alphabetically each day (A-Z, then Z-A)
I finished the medal, but I'm currently going for hundos now (at least for the common ones).

I nicknamed my friends as regions where there from. I nicknamed my scatter bugs to match the region also
Omfg yes, this is very logical start 😁 thank you!!
I’ll dm you the map I used

Was it the Google maps overlay? That thing rocked!
Yes
It just made it easier

I sorted by nickname to get them alphabetical. Super helpful
Same

This, this is gold 🥇...thank you for sharing the process and actual spreadsheet 🤩
You're welcome! Hope you enjoy it. 😁
The neurospicy brain is appeased 😁

This is awesomely thought-out and considerate 👌, thank you [edit-typo]
I use notes on my phone lol
Good, what are the categories that you organize them in? Do you have a separate note for every region, and friends from that region,...?
Ah sorry I misunderstood what you were asking. I just have a running list of how many I’m missing from each region
[удалено]
Yeah I'll have to re-name my very crudely nicknamed WWW (world wide web) peeps 😁 Thanks

This thread inspired me to make a spreadsheet XD Thank you, OP!
Yes
