P★DA: Difference between revisions

While only certain Trainers can receive a Pokédex from a [[Pokémon Professor]], it appears that just about anyone can own a P★DA, at least in [[Orre]].

In Pokémon Colosseum, the P★DA can also be used to send and receive e-mail and keep track of the Trainer's [[Poké Coupon]]s. It also has a ringtone that can be customized to the preferences of the user. Additionally, Wes's P★DA was upgraded with the [[Snag List]], a list of the [[Shadow Pokémon]] created by [[Cipher]].

Another feature of the P★DA is the [[Strategy Memo]], which is awarded to Wes by a teacher inside of the [[Prestige Precept Center|Pre Gym]]. It contains a list of all Pokémon encountered, giving the user their type, Ability, height, weight, and appearance. The only drawbacks are the inability to use it in battle, and the fact that one must update regularly with the teacher who awarded Wes with the device.

When the player has obtained a certain number of [[Poké Coupon]]s, the {{i|Poké Ball}} symbol in the P★DA will change colors, identical to a rank system. This is similar to the [[Trainer Card level]] mechanic from the main series games.

In Pokémon XD, the P★DA has a new interface, along with a new feature. As in Colosseum, the device keeps track of Poké Coupons, has a [[Strategy Memo]] and e-mail, and can be upgraded to keep track of [[Shadow Pokémon]]. Its new feature is a Spot Monitor, which alerts the player whenever there is activity by [[wild Pokémon]] at one of the three [[Poké Spot]]s.

A new feature for the P★DA is the ability to register special titles to Michael when he participates in the [[Orre Colosseum]] and defeats the {{tc|Cipher Admin}}s along with [[Chobin]] & [[Robo Groudon]], and [[Gonzap]]. The last title is given to Michael after defeating [[Eldes]], fulfilling his request for a battle without having to be enemies after defeating [[Greevil]].

The Spot Monitor is an addition to the P★DA in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}. It is given to [[Michael]] by [[Duking]] at the Rock [[Poké Spot]] after a TV broadcast. It allows Michael to monitor how many [[Poké Snack]]s are left at a Poké Spot, and see if any Pokémon can be found at one. It is fitted with an alarm which triggers when there is activity at any Poké Spot. Most of the time it is a [[Wild Pokémon]] that is found at one of the Poké Spots, but sometimes it is a mischievous {{p|Munchlax}} that belongs to a fellow [[Orre]] citizen.
