The '''C-Gear''' (Japanese: '''Ｃギア''' ''C-Gear'') is a feature introduced in [[Generation V]], which is used for various purposes. It was set up by [[Fennel]] in order to collate lots of different [[Save|report]]s. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the {{player}} obtains it in [[Striaton City]] after assisting Fennel. In {{game|Black and White|s|4=2}}, [[Bianca]] gives it away in [[Aspertia City]] after the player has defeated [[Cheren]]. Similar devices are the [[Pokégear]], the [[PokéNav]], and the [[Pokétch]]. | |||
While enabled, it maintains a list of players which are encountered using the DS's wireless capabilities, and various surveys can be conducted, which can lead to rewards at [[Castelia City]]'s [[Passerby Analytics HQ]]. | While enabled, it maintains a list of players which are encountered using the DS's wireless capabilities, and various surveys can be conducted, which can lead to rewards at [[Castelia City]]'s [[Passerby Analytics HQ]]. | ||

In a Feeling Check, players are shown how compatible they are by performing the Rhythm Check and the Sync Check. Players are required to tap 10 times at the touch screen for the Rhythm Check, and press both their thumbs against the touch screen for the Sync Check. At the end, the player's compatibility is given a score and a ranking. Both players get [[Sweet Heart]]s which can be collected and exchanged for a {{DL|Exchangeable item|Heart Scale}} at [[Mistralton City]] (10 Sweet Hearts for 1 Heart Scale). | In a Feeling Check, players are shown how compatible they are by performing the Rhythm Check and the Sync Check.

In the bottom-left corner of the C-Gear is a pie chart icon which opens the Survey Radar. In the Survey Radar, the player may select the active [[Passerby Analytics HQ|survey]], which they will receive answers to from players passing by. | |||
The player may also analyze the previously collected results of the currently selected survey. By tapping different text boxes on the touch screen, the player may switch between the questions in the survey, to analyze them all; switch between answers for the currently analyzed question, to see how many and what percentage of people gave that answer; and switch between viewing only answers from the people the player has met that day and viewing all the answers the player has collected for that question. | |||
