PokéNav: Difference between revisions

A '''Pokémon Navigator''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンナビゲーター''' ''Pokémon Navigator''), more often referred to as '''PokéNav''' (Japanese: '''ポケナビ''' ''PokéNavi''), is an electronic device found in [[Hoenn]]. It was produced by the [[Devon Corporation]] under the orders of [[Mr. Stone]], who wanted to find a way to keep track of a Pokémon's feelings. Mr. Stone gives it to the {{Player|protagonist}} of {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} for recovering the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Devon Goods}} from [[Team Aqua]] or [[Team Magma]]. They appear to be small, compact-disc-shaped devices. It was introduced in [[Generation III]]. The counterpart to the PokéNav is the [[Pokégear]] in [[Johto]] Region, the [[Pokétch]] in [[Sinnoh]], and the [[C-Gear]] in [[Unova]].

In {{v2|Emerald}}, the Trainer's Eyes is replaced by the Match Call. In addition to the features of the Trainer's Eyes, it allows its user to call anyone who has had their PokéNav registered with theirs, similar to the cell phone feature of the [[Pokégear]]. An advantage the Match Call has over Trainer's Eyes is that after any of the unique Trainers are defeated, they identify themselves and have their number listed, which makes it easier to know where they are. The Match Call can also keep track of more Trainers than Trainer's Eyes, including having a few other non-Trainers like the player's mother and Prof. Birch listed and allows rematches with Gym Leaders.

{{adv|Ruby}} is the first main character to use this device, and first receives a PokéNav from {{adv|Wally}} as thanks for helping him catch his first Pokémon, a {{p|Kecleon}}. Like in the games, it contains information regarding the map of the [[Hoenn]] region, and can view a Pokémon's condition stats, and its current level. The latter feature was used especially by {{adv|Emerald}} for his [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Frontier]] challenges, as while he had no interest in [[Pokémon Contest]]s like Ruby did, it was needed to see levels and stats for the borrowed Pokémon from the [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)#Battle Factory|Battle Factory]].

The [[PokéNav (EX Ruby & Sapphire 88)| PokéNav]] appears as a card at [[EX Crystal Guardians]] set.

* In Emerald, Scott cannot be called while he is in the Battle Frontier because it is out of the service area. However, any Trainer except Scott may be called from the Battle Frontier, and other Trainers may call the player.
