You know what I'm talking about.
Introduced in RSE, the marking system allowed you to mark your Pokemon with any or all of up to 4 different shapes, for whatever reason you feel like. In DPPt, they upgraded that marking system to six: Circle, Triangle, Square, Heart, Star, and Diamond.
With all those 6 marks, you'd think they'd be useful for something. Or they could go ignored for years and the trainer would rely just on memory.
But do you guys use the marking system at all, in any fashion? And if so, how do you use it?

I actually started using the marking system in DPPt, and I find it incredibly useful. I use each of the six marks for a different purpose, to help me remember things. Here's what I use them for:
Circle = This Pokemon is used exclusively for breeding (usually for a nature or ability, or possibly even a 31).
Triangle = This Pokemon is EV trained.
Square = This Pokemon does not list me as the OT in the game that it's currently living in.
Heart = Used for variable purposes. in Diamond, the mark meant that the Pokemon was 100% legit.
Star = This Pokemon is shiny. (Kind of a no-brainer, I know, but I still use it.)
Diamond = Used for variable purposes. in Black, I use it when I have multiple children at level 1, and am considering which one of them to EV train. in Diamond, it was used for those Pokemon who had nicknames that all had a certain theme.
