4th Gen Possible Pokégear features

[Mitchman]

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?

 

[Nitrous Oxide]

Poketch, you can't even freaking pronounce that.

The PokeGear will come back.

 

[Sweet Smoochum]

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.

 

[Serene Grace]

Just add the Poketch style apps to the Pokegear, I think.

 

[Tyrantrum]

And since it's on a DS... It should be Touch Screen compatible! >:D

Also, a texting idea is nice. :3

 

[Serene Grace]

Texting will take wayyy too long. Also, they would have put in custom things for your character to say. You can't just say anything at will...

 

[auragirl]

I hope they keep it the same, but with more features. And maybe let us hang up the phone when people call or at least make it so they get annoyed if we call them loads of times XD

 

[.inLOVE]

I'm hoping they'll keep the radio and the phone; those were awesome features.

 

[spike6958]

As long as the radio is back I'll be happy, but i had an idea for a DSi exclusive feature that could work using this that wouldn't put DS or DSlite players at a disadvantage, my idea is an MP3/iPod type app for the Pokégear that would allow DSi users to listen to music stored on there SD cards while in the game.

Pokegear VS Poketech

to solve that annoying call problem- make it like an actual cell phone- it says
"incoming call from some trainer no one cares about"
you get an option on the touch screen saying
"ignore" "Listen"
that's really all there is to it-
as for what i would like to see on the pokegear-

Spoiler:

The Type Of Phone Above (a real one)
The Town Map
A Radio With New Channels
#17 - Calendar This function is a simple Calendar that states the current day and month

#16 - Type Chart This little function of the Pokétch allows you to input both an attack type and the target Pokémon's types and it will output whether this is normal, super effective or not very effective. Quite handy if you're searching for attacks that can defeat a certain gym leader's Pokémon

#10 - Pokémon History This function allows you to see the last 12 Pokémon that you have captured, hatched, evolved and received through trades. When you click them, they cry.

#7 - Itemfinder This function is the item finder of Diamond & Pearl. When you touch the screen, it will make a circle as if its scanning for an item. If it finds one, the circle starts fluctuating and repeating so there is an item in that direction

#5 - Your Party This function shows you your Pokémon Party without requiring you to go to menus. Showing their health, what they are and if they are holding item. If you touch them, you can hear their cry

And
#1 - Digital Clock The first noticiable function of the Pokétch is the most obvious one for a watch; Time Management. On this function you basically see the time in 24 hour format. This is good to help you keep track of the time and make places in time for time-specific events or Wild Pokémon Captures. If you press the screen, it lights up

i liked the poketch (i just say pokeTECH).... just.... most of the things were completely useless

 

[OokamiShipper]

I want to PokeGear to return! I loove the phone <33
And I honestly like it more the the PokeTech...^^;

 

[Jran Sakarra]

DSi Only Techs?

I was thinking and you know I bet there might be some DSi only Techs that will be in the games.
I mean Nintendo has done this kind of marketing thing before.

What do you think they will be if any?

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

Mm...I don't know much of the DSi techs. Does the DSi have some sort of music storage thingy? That might come into play somewhere.

It has music capabilities can take photos has storage capabilities and the ram and cpu is double then that of the lite. So in a way if you play it on the dsi you could get extra boost in gameplay through the extra power.

 

[Chris The Nerd]

maybe there can be like a gameboy printer that instead of printing stuff saves images to your SD card

 

[ghostofherooftime]

i hope not.. i'm sick of having to buy systems over and over again

 

[Artemis]

THey could do something with the whole picture concept perhaps. The music has a possibility of playing a part as well. The only thing they would have to work on is putting place in the game for these new DSi tech features.

 

[Lukar]

If the GameFAQs forum post is correct, there'll be a DSi app that lets you trade between the DS games, but with only one DS needed. Also, I'd like to see a new feature in the radio that lets you listen to music from an SD Card.

I don't want any DSi-exclusive features, aside from those, to be honest. The game should be able to be played almost exactly the same for everyone, regardless of if they have a DS [Lite] or DSi.

That was fake the user confirmed that it was a secondary account to fake it.
Now then this is Pokemon. You can bet that they will surely do something to screw those who have no DSi over with extra features. Tell me when Nintendo never gave an opportunity like that up.

Oh. Well, crap. Atleast now I can hope that the PokeGear doesn't look like a recolored Poketch, lol.

True.
