DexNav: Difference between revisions

The catching progress view is the default view of the DexNav. When in this view, the tabs for the other PokéNav Plus applications are still visible along the side, allowing the player to switch at will.

This view shows which wild Pokémon in an area the player has already owned or seen. Those that have been owned have their full menu sprite displayed, while those that have only been seen only have their silhouette displayed. These sprites are placed on a unique and representative snapshot of the area rendered using Generation III tiles, with the name of the current location shown in the bottom-right corner. Different rooms in a [[cave]] or building are considered separate areas by the DexNav.

Each Pokémon's sprite is placed over the type of tile the Pokémon is found in, with Pokémon encountered via [[fishing]] distinguished from those encountered by {{m|Surf}}ing by being placed over deep water tiles (with no distinctions made for different rods) as opposed to over normal water tiles. Pokémon that are encountered via fishing will not be shown if the player does not have a fishing rod, while Pokémon encountered via Surfing require the {{badge|Balance}}. Any Pokémon in the area that have not been seen anywhere are also not shown in this view.

If no wild Pokémon appear in a particular location, a red background with an image of a [[Poké Ball]] logo and a {{p|Pikachu}} menu sprite are displayed. Tapping on the DexNav's screen will display the message, "There are no wild Pokémon in this area."

When there are wild Pokémon, tapping anywhere on the progress view's map (the parts not covered by owned Pokémon's sprites, that is) will display a message reflecting the amount of Pokémon in the area that the player has owned. This message only evaluates the encounter types currently available to the player. This means, for example, that if the player has encountered all Pokémon in [[tall grass]] on {{rt|102|Hoenn}} and does not have a rod or the Balance Badge, the area will be considered complete. The default message is: "There are still Pokémon in this area that you have not caught!" If the player is only missing one Pokémon, the message will be, "Nearly complete!" If the player is missing no Pokémon, then the message, "Good job! You've caught them all!" will be displayed if the player has not yet overcome Groudon/Kyogre, or the message, "Amazing! Fantastic! You caught every possible Pokémon in this area!" will be displayed if the player has.

The Pokémon tab of the AreaNav shows a view very similar to the DexNav's progress view, except that, where a location has multiple areas (such as the rooms of a cave), its view condenses all different areas into one.

After defeating or capturing {{p|Groudon}}/{{p|Kyogre}}, Pokémon not in the [[List of Pokémon by New Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] will begin showing up on the catching progress view of the DexNav. These Pokémon will not be recognized as appearing in that area in the [[Pokédex]]'s habitat view.

If the player has owned all wild Pokémon that appear in an area by one or more methods, its progress view will show a crown in the upper-right hand corner as a mark of completion. In any area, there are up to four different types of encounters possible.

*Land-based encounters or [[seaweed]]

*[[Fishing]] (with no distinction between rods)

The crown shown will have different colors depending on the number of encounter types in the area the player has completed. These colors are (in order) bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. If the player has not completed one of the methods above, the crown will be gold; if the player has not completed two methods, it will be silver; and if the player has not completed three, the crown will be bronze. If the player has completed all available methods in an area and {{p|Groudon}}/{{p|Kyogre}} have been defeated or captured, the crown will be platinum. Prior to overcoming Groudon/Kyogre, however, the highest color the player's crown can be is gold, even if the player has captured all Pokémon that can possibly appear in the area.
