Possible Pokégear features
As we all know, when the Pokegear was first implement in GSC it had dozens of features that blew every player out the water; or, like me, squealing with joy and excitement. So in anticipation with its DS remake, do you think it'll retain all it's old features? Would some be dropped or altered for our generation, or will they just remake the Pokegear all over? Personally I hope they redo the Pokegear, adding new features to keep up with the latest gen.
|
I think they'll keep the Poketch but with some Pokegear features. I'd love to see the radio and phone come back.
|
I can see a texting system replacing the phone to make use of the touch screen.
Something like this: Todd Camper: Hey Gold! Text me the word "item" any time you're wondering if I found something for you! or Mom: Just text me the word "money" anytime you want to check up on your savings, honey. |
I want them to keep the Pokegear ( Pokegear > Poketch, imo)
with the Radio, Calendar, Clock, Type Match-up, Friendship Match-up, Roulette, Calculator, Pedometer, Pokemon List, Dowsing Machine, Berry Searcher, Link Searcher, Marking Map , and Cell Phone |
Texting would be nice, but there is voice chat too.. 8D
However, the random phone calls are annoying (I've been playing my original Gold since the new games were announced). I don't care if some trainer beat a Magnemite with his Rattata, kthx. Maybe a setting to silent the phone? Heh. I would love it if the radio came back and had more channels. <3 And yes, Pokegear > Poketch. |
Everything the PokeGear had should be incorporated into the Poketch and it should be used in Hg/Ss.
|
Although the phone was annoying as hell, it was quite useful, along with other features of the PokeGear. I'd love to see it return, but with some Poketch aspects (Day Care Checker, Happiness checker, Dowsing Maching (as opposed to Itemfinder), and other essentials).

Otherwise I loved the Pokégear. |

And about the PokeGear/Poketch names... How is Poketch actually pronounced? I usually feel like I pronounced it wrong. |
I actually enjoy trainers calling me for rematches. I would just quickly switch Pokémons before destroying them again and again and again and again........ [/repeats]
I would love if they include the radio. That would really soothe me. 8D |
The Pokegear should definitely come back, with like.. the PokeTch features, and the features that the PokeGear had in GSC. ( Because like several others have said, PokeGear > PokeTch~ ♥ )
|
IMO, the Pokegear will be expanded upon and be like the Poketch (in that it is on the bottom screen, and so forth), but would still be called the Pokegear. Just a guess though.
The time and map will stay, obviously, and I hope the radio does too (and considering I find it unlikely that they will go and do away with the Radio Tower in Goldenrod, I reckon it's kinda likely the radio function will stay too). As for the phone...well, I kinda liked the feature, but unsure if it will still be called the phone as such - it could be replaced by the VS seeker and so forth, or become a key item instead. I didn't mind people calling me - gave the NPCs some more character at times. |
They'll probably make it alot like the Poketch. As stated before, they'll most likey keep the Phone and radio, as they were somewhat important in the originals. They may would also add other features in like some of the Poketch Apps.
|
I agree with several posters here - they'll likely keep the PokeGear and its current functions (clock, map, radio and phone), but add a number of new apps you could collect, similar to those of the Poketch. I don't think they'll actually swap out the PokeGear for the Poketch, though. Each region (save for Kanto) had its own "trainer's equipment". Johto's was the PokeGear, Hoenn's was the PokeNav, and Sinnoh's was the Poketch.
With the original PokeGear, you collected cards that would be inserted into the PokeGear to give it new functions (i.e. the Map Card, the Radio Card, etc.). In this game, rather than collect Poketch Apps, you could collect PokeGear cards that would give the PokeGear new applications. |
I heard that there wil be a special happiness checker that will show your face next to your pokemon, but it will be only for nintendo DSi players...:(
Here is the link of a video showing the special happiness checker and the new johto map: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WurTfXo2zk&feature=channel |
Phone system? Yes. Plus, if you have someone's friend code, you could send them messages.
Radio system? Yes. They could also add in a feature to this that lets you listen to music form an SD Card, if you're using a DSi to play the game. World map? Sure, why not. |
They should just add a radio app to the Poketch, and ditch the Pokegear. It wasn't that great, and the phone was annoying.

I hope the PokeGear comes back but it could really have a few new features. I just hope we don't get to see a PokeGearEtch :D
|
Yeah, I think it will be called Pokegear, but will have features of poketch...
|
The pokegear will most likely return the way it was before. I just hope for hot swappable cards. Like you can disable the radio for an app or something. Maybe a 4th slot for the hot swappable feature app?
|
Poketch, you can't even freaking pronounce that.
The PokeGear will come back. |
I liked the phone calls...and the radio. I personally liked the Pokegear better than all the other gadgets. (Despite the lack of features, I liked the look and simplicity of it.) The poketch (however you pronounce it) had waaay too many apps, IMO, and it took forever to go to the app you wanted. I didn't like the Pokenav either. Too much going on.
Besides, some of the trainers in GS called to inform you about a swarm. (That was better than having to always fly to Sandgem town to ask your rival's sister about a swarm.), In Crystal, some trainers called you to tell you that they found an evolution stone. I liked getting them for free rather than paying for one. (I don't want to pay money to evolve my pokemon.) I would like for them to add more radio stations and allow a little more than 10 phone numbers, but not too much. Maybe a teachy tv would be a good thing to add to the pokegear...? Idk. |
Just add the Poketch style apps to the Pokegear, I think.
|
And since it's on a DS... It should be Touch Screen compatible! >:D
Also, a texting idea is nice. :3 |
