Navigear*DA

My ultimate uselessness at the current topic of work, has brought on my ultimate creation, our games' gear!

Essentially, when you press start, this is what you're opening. Most of the regular features of the start menu are in the gear section "features". What remains outside..-

Features- Menu Below
Save
Options
Screenshot - Are we sure?
Close PO

-Pokedex (Works like the old ones, maybe a extra function...)
-Berrydex (When you get a berry for the first time, you
scan the berry tag)
-Unowndex (Like in GSC, but split into Alpha, Greek
Alpha and Gramatical, should be obtained at some moment, maybe from a scientist or what)
-Itemdex (Works like the Berry dex, but you can "download" info from Mart (this should be a installable function. First Mart, you enter, shopkeeper offers)
-Vs Seeker (You must install - fourth settlement?)
-Teachy TV (You must install, at the very start of the game)
-Fame Checker (You must install, rather early)
-Radio (You install early, second settlement should be fine)
-Map (You start with Taion, you get others later, possibly through... the feature below...)
-E-mail (should be like the P*DA's. With a choosable sound, and how about the ability to get Pokedex, Berrydex and Itemdex descriptions through it? And maybe Fame Checker stuff too...)
-Entry Call
-Contest (Ribbons and "status", should be obtained inside or just outside the first Contest Hall, maybe before, as a 'teaser' with a explanation)
-Portable PC (Only available during tournaments, but your PARTY Pokemon will heal after battles.) - Er... just not this one...
-Tourney Info (Info on Trainers you will battle next in a tourney, and those you have battled)
-Trainers (Another Trainers eyes, custom by actual players
-Friends list
-Stats (Your results in Battles, Contest, events etc.)
-Diplomas (Trainer School achievments. We could even update these often. This would for sure include that rather nice RS Pokedex completion one! Also, how about ones for entering the Hall Of Fame?)
-Battle/Contest Results
-Jot pad (Important things you hear people say are recorded here, as well as personal notes can be... installation: home town)
-Weather forecast (possible weather in the area, installable feature, second setllement?)
-Help
-Connect to Server/ Disconnect from server (Login/out)
-Global Union Room (Connect to the Global server and
battle players from other games!)
-Trainer Cards (3regions, badges, Pokedex and time ONLY FOR THAT REGION. The rest is the same)/ Battle Frontier Card/ Global Card (One card with all badges, total time, dex. Only other pieces is the ID No., and the back remains the same)
-Pokecoupons (with the Pokecoupon available item list of region the player is in... installable: sixth setllement should be fine
-About PT/credits/little adnotation/Navigear*DA Info... CPU, RAM...

What it will look like? Try and combine all 4 dexes (RBY, GSC, RS, FRLG. I have all the pics for who is willing to try) both gears, and FRLG's three extra items (FameCheck, VsSeek, TeachTV) As well as an E-card thing on top. When doing so, try to keep a max of two screens (DS style) with lotsa buttons.

The optional features (undecided)
- Data Network Access (installable (one person, only person who talks about this in the entire game) and randomised messages appear when activated, as in a command prompt or what "POTIONS are cool!" "556t", mostly blabber, but a bit of good stuff...) which only works in Pokemon Centres. "Out Of Range" appears when activated elsewhere.
- Games... PokePong, BalloonSweeper...
- Digital Camera (built-in... Destiny Deoxys laptop-like... it captures FPV's that are seen. They are stored into a album, and upon completion... how about a diplomma?)

Laptop. It's a laptop. Has to be... palmtop is too small... and can we brainstorm on MSN about other features? I have a few ideas...

[mattgcn]

OK It's a laptop. The Teachy TV will be half of the main monitor, the other two FRLG Items will be merged and hooked up with a cable. Traces of the Pokedexes will reside in the other half of the monitor. The keyboard will have all the buttons of the standard keyboard below the F's. Not containing them of course. It will contain buttons lining the top, of the main menu, and several button pertaining to the Pokedex. The arrow pad, will look this this..

----Up
Left Select Right
----Down

The part that usually contains Home and such will have one of those handtouch mousepads. There. All described.

[KARR]

A touchpad?! NO! I officialy hate those. Either give it a trackpoint, or make the screen a touchscreen! And Teachy TV should be a application, not a part of it!

I'll modify your post with where I think the extras should be found... then you can correct me. XD

And what about the two more we talked about?

[mattgcn]

Teachy TV will still be a part of it, however, to view shows, you must obtain cards. Oh, and the "E-reader" on it is at the back side of the keyboard (behind the screen) Much like it would on an SP.

[KARR]

The card reader should be like a PCMCIA card slot. On the side, there is a hole in which cards fit just right, and you put it in there.

And lets make a lot more shows for the Teachy TV. I can even write the scenarios!
