I. Updates [UPDATE]
==============================================================================
March 23, 2013
- A code section has been added to the table of contents. I've currently
got a couple of codes there currently to unlock Pokemon in the Pro, and
will allow me to add more should they release more.
November 13, 2012
- Been working on this guide since I got the Pokedex on Friday. This
guide is a product of love for the series and the Pokedex itself. I
wrote the guide on the free one, and I'm pleased to have been able to
get this one going. I have all the basics here, so anything from here
on out is gravy. Hope you enjoy!
==============================================================================
II. About This Guide [AGUIDE]
==============================================================================
This guide is meant to provide some basic information about the Pokedex 3D
Pro software available from the eShop for 15 USD (plus tax). It is not meant
as a replacement for buying the software, and may not fully contain all the
information it does. This guide is meant to help someone learn and navigate
the software.
My previous guide -- the Pokedex 3D -- which was a free version of the
software (that is no longer available on the eShop), contained information
about the Pokemon, Egg Groups, Moves, et cetera. This guide will not
contain as in-depth information about the Pokemon themselves. I find that
it takes away from the main focus of the guide, which is to help folks figure
it out, but also, to be quite honest, would be a monumental task. This
Pokedex contains over 700 entries. The previous one only had Pokemon in it
that were in Black and White. The 727 entries includes different forms
of Pokemon and all, but it is a massive collection of data. That information
could warrant it's own guide, to be honest. Perhaps another project for
another time. Or one for a brave soul to tackle.
I will go into as in-depth as possible with this, but be aware that there
is a manual for this software as well. It provides a lot of the basic
information I will be providing here. To access this manual while within
the software, press the Home button on your 3DS, then click the Manual
button on the bottom screen.
==============================================================================
III. What's a Pokedex? [POKEDX]
==============================================================================
If you are a fan of the Pokemon games, then you'll know each game has a
Pokedex. The Pokedex in game only contains information only on the Pokemon
you have encountered, caught, or traded on that game. This Pokedex is a
piece of software that only serves its purpose as a Pokedex. You'll have
access to all the Pokemon information you could ever need on all the Pokemon.
So, what exactly is a Pokedex? It's something that is basically an
encyclopedia for Pokemon. It's just full of information on each Pokemon,
like their stats, picture (or in this case a model of the Pokemon in 3D), the
Pokemon's cry, description, et cetera. With the Pokedex 3D Pro, it contains
every Pokemon in the National Pokedex. So, if you purchase this you get all
information on all Pokemon (including all forms), right off the bat. This
is literally a full fledged Pokedex this time.
***************************************************************************
It is possible to delete your save data, should you decide you want to
start over or whatever the case may be. To delete the saved data: after
selecting the software from the Home menu, press and hold A, B, X, and Y.
You should then follow the instructions on screen to continue the deletion
process. Keep in mind that once deleted, it cannot be restored! Also,
even if the data is deleted, photos and extra data will remain intact.
***************************************************************************
==============================================================================
IV. Overview [OVRVEW]
==============================================================================
It should be noted that each section has different information on the screen
that will be displayed. I will be giving a screen over view of the main
menu here. Additional screens will be covered in their respective sections.
The main menu in this particular version of the Pokedex is pretty simple,
yet I think it is nicely laid out. It leads off into different sections,
but a few things we'll need to cover.
-=| Top Screen |=-
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| Pokemon Here |
| |
| |
| |
| |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Date Day \ Time / |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pokemon Here - This is where the Pokemon shows up on screen.
When you first start the software, the first 10
seconds or so is the Pokedex 3D Pro title screen.
After that it evolves into showing random Pokemon.
These Pokemon show up on a background that can be
changed in the Options menu.
Date - This is the date on your 3DS.
Day - The day of the date.
Time - This shows the current time on your 3DS.
-=| Bottom Screen |=-

| AR Viewer [*] |
| |
| |
| |
| |
----------------------------------------------------------------
<- - Go back a page.
[Gear] - Gear icon that leads you to an options screen.
[Pokedex Entry] - This will read as "Check this Pokemon's Pokedex
entry." on screen. Every few seconds, a new
random Pokemon will show on the top screen. If
you want to read up on that Pokemon, click this
button to go straight to the Pokemon's entry.
Pokedex - Go to the Pokedex section.
Move Dex - Go to the Move Dex section.
Pokemon Challenge - Go to the Pokemon Challenge section.
Records/Album - Go to the Records/Album section.
AR Viewer - Go to the AR Viewer section.
[*] - Initially this spot is blank. However, when
you get far enough in Pokemon Challenge, it
opens up a link to Today's Challenge.
There's also some terminology you'll need to be familiar with. Not much,
as generally when I come across it, I'll explain it. But, this will come
up several times in the guide, and I'd like to start off with it so it's
not confusing when you start coming to abbreviations for the types. These
are what you will see within the Pokedex, so it's probably best to
familiarize yourself with them now.
Type Name Abbreviation
--------- ------------
Normal NRM
Fire FIR
Water WTR
Electric ELC
Grass GRS
Psychic PSY
Fighting FTG
Poison PSN
Ground GRD
Flying FLY
Dragon DRG
Bug BUG
Rock RCK
Ghost GHO
Ice ICE
Steel STL
Dark DRK
I may refer to them again in the guide with their abbreviations, but I
can't promise. So, if I fail to, please come back here if you're having
trouble remembering.
==============================================================================
V. Menu Options [MNUOPT]
==============================================================================
For the options menu, you'll be able to change some things, like the
background, language, et cetera. The top screen here is the same as if you
were on the main menu itself. It still cycles through Pokemon on top, along
with the same information (date, day, time). So we'll cover the bottom
screen here.

This is what the options menu will look like, in it's simplistic form.
What each thing does will be covered here in a moment. This is what the
window will look like though when you first go there. You can scroll
down to see more. Below is an extra long look at how it looks if you
were to keep scrolling.

----------------------------------------------------------------
X - Goes back to previous screen. In other words,
it closes the options menu.
Bookmarks - When you bookmark things in the Pokedex, this
is where they will show, depending on what was
bookmarked. . .
> Pokemon - If you bookmarked a Pokemon for quick and easy
access, then you will find its name in the list.
Just click on its name and it will bring it up.
If you press X now you will be on that Pokemon's
Pokedex entry. You can remove a Pokemon from
the list by going to Edit at the top of the
list. To register a Pokemon, go to it's entry
and click the gear icon. Click Register under
the Pokemon tab.
> Moves - Here you can register Moves to quickly access
their information. To register a move, go in a
Moves entry (via the Move Dex or through a
Pokemon's entry where it shows moves they can
learn), click the gear icon, and then click
Register under the Moves tab. To remove a
Move from the list, click the edit button.
Menu - This column contains ways to adjust how the
Pokedex displays things as well as sound.
> Scene - This allows you to change the background on
which the Pokemon appears on.
[1] Black floor with light orange Pokeball designs
on the floor. A gray sky with what looks like
bubbles in the sky arranged in near columns
and rows. (Think it's to give a relation to
a Pokemon's height.)
[2] Green floor with darker green Pokeball designs
in the ground. Fluffy clouds in a blue sky.
[3] A brownish ground with lighter color Pokeball
design in the ground. Trees, as if in a forest
type setting, with the background as if the
sun were setting.
[4] The floor is the surface of a moon. Two planets
are in the background of this space themed one.
One on the left is rusty colored and small. One
on the right is larger and resembles Earth.
[5] Ocean floor. What else can I say? It's the
ocean.
[6] Large gray circle on the flood with the design
etched in by a lighter color gray. Light pink,
blue and purple color gears float and move in
the sky area.
> Window - This changes the window color and design. As in
the top and bottom part on the top screen. You'll
notice bottom screen changes once you exit the
options menu.
[1] Black/Gray theme
[2] Green/Teal theme
[3] Red/Orange theme
[4] Purple/Blue theme
[5] Light Blue theme
[6] Yellow/Orange/Brown theme
> BGM - Changes the background music that plays while in the
software.
[1] Some sort of futuristic odd sounding music.
[2] Some uplifting, happy music.
[3] Some sort of space sounding piece.
[ON] Turns music on.
[OFF] Turns music off.
> 3D Depth - Allows you to adjust the 3D depth, should you have
it on. (Usually keep mind off to have a longer
battery life.)
[Reduced] Reduces the 3D look a bit. Might be good
for folks who enjoy the 3D but get affected
by it quickly or for long periods of time.
[Normal] Normal 3D here.
Switch Language - Allows you to switch to a different language, should
you want to. The following languages are available:
Japanese, French, Italian, English, German, and
Spanish.
Credits - For you to see who all were involved in this project.
It's a scroll through the credits yourself kind of
deal, so you can look at it at your own pace.
==============================================================================
VI. Pokedex [POKDEX]
==============================================================================
The Pokedex is the meat and bones of this software. I mean, the whole thing
is named after this part it! The rest of the things are just gravy. This
is where you'll be getting information on the Pokemon. In this version, each
time you go to a Pokemon's entry in the Pokedex, you'll hear a voice say the
name of it. That was a bit startling at first, as I wasn't expecting that.
The free version did not have that. For this example of a Pokedex entry,
we'll use the first Pokemon in the Pokedex.
-=| Top Screen |=-
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Abomasnow Frost Tree Pokemon |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| |
| |
| Pokemon Here |
| |
| |
| |
| |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| National Pokedex 460 | [GRS] [ICE] | Gender M/F |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pokemon Here - This is where the Pokemon shows up on the screen.
You can use the joystick to get a 360 degree view
on the Pokemon. You can even view it from below
and above.
I should note that if you have any pictures taken
of the Pokemon, and have attached to them to it,
that it will show your pictures here. If you have
more than one, it'll do a slideshow of them.
460 - This is the National Pokedex number for this
particular Pokemon.
[GRS] [ICE] - This area shows the type/types the Pokemon is.
In this case, this Pokemon is both Grass and Ice.
Gender - The gender this particular Pokemon can be. The
choices that can be there are obviously the male
and female options. But for some, gender can be
unknown.

----------------------------------------------------------------
<- - Go back a page.
[Pokeball] - This brings you back to the main menu.
[Gear] - Gear icon that leads you to the options screen.
HP - Stands for Hit Points. This is the Pokemon's
health. The higher this stat is, the more HP
it has.
Sp. Atk - Stands for Special Attack. The higher this stat
is, the more damage it deals with special moves.
Height - The Pokemon's height.
Attack - The higher this stat is, the more damage it deals
with physical moves.
Sp. Def - Stands for Special Defense. The higher this stat
is, the less damage it takes from special moves.
Weight - The Pokemon's weight.
Defense - The higher this stat is, the less damage it takes
from physical moves.
Speed - The higher this stat is, the better chance it has
a chance to go first in combat.
AR Marker - Picture of the AR Marker to view it through an
AR Viewer.
[action] - The clapperboard is to get the Pokemon in the
top screen to do an action.
[music] - This musical note is to get the Pokemon to let
out its cry.
[stop] - This pauses the Pokemon in the top screen. If it
was in the middle of an action, you may have just
gotten a great action pose! Press again to allow
it to move again.
Egg Group - This is the egg group(s) the Pokemon is in. There
are 15 egg groups. All Pokemon belong to at least
one. Some can belong to more than one, as our
example above does. Or, they may be in one that
has not yet been identified. The Egg Groups are:
- Monster
- Water 1
- Water 2
- Water 3
- Bug
- Flying
- Field
- Fairy
- Grass
- Human-like
- Mineral
- Amorphous
- Ditto
- Dragon
- Undiscovered
[Pokemon Description] - This is the area where the Pokemon's Pokedex
entry description goes. In the above example
is what it says in Abomasnow's.
/\ - Pressing this button will bring up the mini menu
next to it.
( ) - Press this circle will also cause the menu to
spring up.
The bars are a measure of a Pokemon's stat. The less bars it has, the
less it has of it. So, from the above example, we can see Abomasnow's
Speed and Defense are kind of low, but its Attack and Special Attack are
kind of high. Meaning he's a bit more set up to kill fast than worry
about taking hits. But, the above is just a piece of the whole entry.
Now let us take a look at an extended view of the Pokemon's entry. . .

Ability - Special powers that are activated automatically.
Your Pokemon will have one of the abilities.
Abilities in Yellow (or in the case of only text
with no color, marked by the asterisk by Soundproof)
are hidden abilities that the Pokemon do not usually
have.
Evolution - These are conditions required for evolution. If a
Pokemon has other form(e)s, they will display here
as well, with conditions required to get them. You
can tap the Pokemon to go to its Pokedex entry.
Also, within the arrow it will tell you the level,
or other requirements, needed to evolve.
Matchup by Type - You use this section to see how well a Pokemon's
move will fare against it. Look at the moves type
you are trying to use against it to see where it
falls. x4 is massive damage, while at the opposite
end it does little damage. The two above the table
are the type(s) the Pokemon's entry you are viewing.
Moves - These are moves that the Pokemon can learn in
Pokemon Black Version 2 and Pokemon White Version 2.
For more information on the headings under Moves,
please refer to the Move Dex section. [MOVDEX]
Under the Kind heading, Physical will be represented
by a Yellow jaggy bubble on an orange background,
Special will be represented by white circles on a
purple background, and Status will be represented by
a half gray/half white yingyang looking symbol on a
gray background.
Under the left side, where there is no actual heading,
there lies some information about how/when a Pokemon
learns the move. The following should help with that
information:
Lxx = Moves learned while leveling up. The xx
will have the level it's learned at.
TMxx = Moves learned from Technical Machines. The
xx will be replaced by the number of the
Technical Machine it's learned from.
HMxx = Moves learned from Hidden Machines. The
xx will be replaced by the number of the
Hidden Machine it's learned from.
Tutor = Moves that are taught by people to your
Pokemon.
Let's take a look at the menu at the bottom though. If we press the
arrow or the circle, a menu comes up. This gives us the option to
browse the list. We can do a search, sort by, or swipe through the
list to find the Pokemon we're interested in.

[Name] - This is there by default for the Sort By feature.
In fact, you can Sort By several options: Name,
No., Height, Weight, or Evolution. When sorting
by name, you can press up or down on the D-Pad to
skip forward or back by a letter.
Name - Sorts by alphabetical order.
No. - Sorts by National Pokedex number.
Height - Sorts from shortest to tallest.
Weight - Sorts from lightest to heaviest.
Evolution - Displays Pokemon in evolutionary
groups.
[Search] - A search function to allow you to browse through
the Move Dex a little more quickly. You can search
by Name, Type (one or two types), Egg Group,
Ability, Registered Moves, and Region. You can also
from this menu choose to Hide Form(e)s.
Name - If you search by Name, it'll ask you to
tap the first letter of the name of the
Move.
Type - This will give you a wheel with all the
elemental types listed. Get the type
you want highlighted by red to search.
The -- means nullify the search.
Egg Group - This option will also give you a wheel
choosing from the different egg groups
to use as a search. The -- means
nothing will be searched and nullify
that search option.
Ability - Allows you use a huge wheel to alpha-
-betically search (top of wheel
starting at A) the Ability you want
to look up.
Registered Moves - Limits list to Pokemon that
can learn the Registered Move
on your Bookmark list for Moves.
Regional - Allows you to search for Pokemon by
region the Pokemon were first discovered
in. Regions appear on a wheel to choose
from.
Hide Form(e)s - When checked, other form(e)s of
that Pokemon are not displayed.
? - This represents a color on the top of each tab.
But what does the color mean? It's telling you the
elemental type the Pokemon is. Two colors on top
means it's a dual-type and both should be on top if
it is a dual-type. If not, just one color will appear.
(NRM) Normal - Light Gray
(FIR) Fire - Orange

AR Markers
----------
If you're interested in getting all the AR markers for the Pokemon to tag
as found, then take the time and head over to Serebii.net.
http://www.serebii.net/pokedex3dpro/pokemon.shtml
You can fill it out with a bit of time. Just make sure you're 3DS's
outer camera is far enough away and slowly start scrolling through. If
you want a larger picture of the Pokemon, click the AR Marker and a larger
one will appear in the middle of your screen.
Do note that Meloetta, oddly enough, is NOT in this Pokedex as of current
writing. As such, you will be unable to scan the Meloetta AR Markers.
Everything else, including different colors, different form(e)s, and
different symbols (for example Unown) are all on the site.

VII. Move Dex [MOVDEX]
==============================================================================
The Move Dex has a lot of great information regarding the moves that Pokemon
can learn. It might seem a little intimidating at first glance, but it's
really easy. Hopefully by now you know the terminology. Even if not though,
I'll be including full names and as much information as possible to help out.
I do realize not everyone may know it. Let's take a look at the screen when
we hop into the Move Dex.
-=| Top Screen |=-
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| [Move Name] [Move Type] |
----------------------------------------------------------------------

| Pow. xx Acc. xx PP xx |
| Long xx DA xx |
| Kind yyy |
| Range zzz |

| [Move Description] |

----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Move Dex |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
[Move Name] - This is the name of the Move you're looking at.
[Move Type] - This is the elemental type the move is.
Pow. - Stands for Power. This is the attack power of
the move. Basically gives you an idea of how
much damage it can inflict.
Acc. - Stands for Accuracy. This is how often it can
hit. The higher the number, the better for your
accuracy.
PP - Stands for Power Points. This is basically how
many times you can use that move. (Before you
bring your Pokemon to a Pokemon Center to rest,
or provide your Pokemon an item that restores it.)
Long - Stands for Long-Range. A long-range move can hit
any enemy regardless of their placement in a
triple battle.
DA - Stands for Direct Attack. A move that makes
physical contact with the enemy. Some abilities
or other things may activate when a move involves
physical contact.
Kind - This describe the kind of attack. There are three
types of moves: Physical, Special, and Status.
Range - This shows the number and type of targets it can
affect in battle at one time.
[Move Description] - This is the description of the move. It should
give you an idea of what the move is about.
xx - Numbers will appear in these slots. If a - appears
then it means not applicable for that particular
move.
yyy - This will be replaced with the kind of move it is.
The three move types are: Physical, Special, and
Status.
zzz - This will tell you the range of the move.

elemental types listed. Get the type

The -- means nullify the search.
Kind - This option will also give you a wheel,
albeit a smaller one than the Type search
gives you. Basically here you only need
one side of the wheel, because it lists
Physical, Special, and Status. The other
half lists the same thing. The -- means
nullify the search.

But what does the color mean? It's telling you the

you to that Moves entry.

--------------------------------------------------
--------------> Keyword Challenges <--------------
--------------------------------------------------
You'll notice, if you open the manual on page 20, that it discusses Keyword
Challenges. The Challenges in green, Challenges 37-39, are based on
Keywords. (So don't worry if your last three Challenges don't have the
same as mine above!) To delete a keyword, just tap the Delete button to
the right, and then you can write a new one.
The chart below is the one the manual shows:
------------------------------------------------
| First || Z | Fixed |
| Character || | |
------------------------------------------------
| Second || Characters A | Diffiulty |
| Character || through C | |
------------------------------------------------
| Third || Characters 2 | Number of |
| Character || through 9 | Questions |
------------------------------------------------
| Characters || Any | Types of |
| 4 - 8 || Characters | Questions |
------------------------------------------------
According to it, characters 4-8 decide things like the types of questions
and the order. They do state that you should enter characters into all
eight spaces the challenges allow for. If you enter "222222" for
characters in slots 4-8, the Challenge will have new questions every day.
Also, there are unique keywords for special questions. From the manual:
"Specific characters must be entered for these unique keywords to work."
So what's the table telling us? Well, for the first character, it always
has to be Z. That is a given. The second character can be A, B, or C.
That will affect it's difficulty. The third character in the keyword
should be one of the following: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9. This will
affect the number of questions the challenge has to offer. The last five
characters of the keyword can be any characters. These affect the type
of questions asked.
Each challenge is predetermined. So, if you have a friend, you both can
enter the same keyword in your Pokedex's and you'll both end up with the
same challenge. Perhaps then you can find out then who is the Pokemon
Trivia master!
***************************************************************************
Before deleting a Keyword Challenge, it's advised you be aware that data
for it is attached to the keyword. Entering a new one will reset the top
score and average.
***************************************************************************
While I've not tinkered with keywords and have settled in with the ones
they gave me at start, I am willing to add a section in for Unique Passwords
if the demand is up and the Challenges are interesting. Please contact me
if you think you've found something worth sharing.

IX. Records/Album [RECRDS]
==============================================================================
This area has a couple of things going for it. And if you guessed both
Records and Album, then we have ourselves a winner! We'll first take a look
at the Records area, then we'll delve into the Album part. Covering the
screens for both as well as some other information. So without further
ado. . .
---------------------------------------
--------------> Records <--------------
---------------------------------------
Since clicking the Records/Album button brings us straight into the Records
area, with a side area of the Album, we'll cover this first. Let's take a
look at what the screens will be showing us for the Records area.
***************************************************************************
The numbers below are going to represent my current numbers as of writing
this. Obviously these numbers will change and yours won't reflect the same
numbers I have.
***************************************************************************

| |
| Remembered / 615 84% |
| |
| |
| Challenges Available / 35 100% |
| Perfect / 19 54% |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Entries Read - This refers to the number of Pokedex entries
you have currently read. First number is
actual number of them you've read.
Found - This refers to the number of Pokemon you've
viewed in the AR Viewer.
Remembered - This refers to the number of Pokemon you have
correctly answered questions about. Only
certain questions, according to the manual,
can increase this number.
Challenges Available - This refers to the number of Challenges you've
currently got opened.
Perfect - This refers to the number of Pokemon
Challenges you've received a perfect score in.

<- - Go back a page.
[Pokeball] - This takes you back to the main menu.
[gray] - This is referring to when you click on the blank
area to the right of the Pokeball. If you click
that, it will allow you to sort your list,
ascending or descending. When you click else-
where it goes back to being the background color.
[read] - This has the same list looking icon that appears
in the top screen for Entries Read. This marks
each entry by each Pokemon with that icon if
you've read the entry for it. From what I can
tell, if you click this icon it sorts them by
National Pokedex number. But, I imagine if you've
not read all the entries, then it'll bring the ones
you have to top first.
[found] - This has the same round, green icon from the top
screen that is attached to Found. Pokemon entries
are marked with this symbol if you've scanned them
with the AR Viewer. If you click this button, it
brings all the Pokemon you've scanned with the AR
Viewer to the top.
[star] - This star corresponds with Remembered from the top
screen. It puts a Star symbol under this column
for getting the "Remembered (Pokemon)" here during
Pokemon Challenges. Clicking this button will bring
the Pokemon with the highest count of being
remembered. Click it again will reverse the order.
[Album] - This goes to your Album. Check the next section
below for more information.
The "snap shot" of the above screen is me sorting by Remembered. (rd) is
there to represent the icon it's been read, and the (star) is to represent
the star icon and the amount of times the Pokemon has been remembered next
to it. (f) represents the Found icon.
***************************************************************************
AR Markers
----------
Interested in how I have all the found markers for the example above? I
actually have scanned all of the Pokemon in the Pokedex. If you'd like to
fill our your Pokedex for this without much trouble, take the time and
head over to Serebii.net.
http://www.serebii.net/pokedex3dpro/pokemon.shtml
You can fill it out with a bit of time. Just make sure you're 3DS's
outer camera is far enough away and slowly start scrolling through. If
you want a larger picture of the Pokemon, click the AR Marker and a larger
one will appear in the middle of your screen.
Do note that Meloetta, oddly enough, is NOT in this Pokedex as of current
writing. As such, you will be unable to scan the Meloetta AR Markers.
Everything else, including different colors, different form(e)s, and
different symbols (for example Unown) are all on the site.
***************************************************************************
---------------------------------------
---------------> Album <---------------
---------------------------------------
So, now let's get to the Album, shall we? The Album is pretty simple.
Here you'll be able to organize the photos you've got registered in the
Pokedex. Let's take a look. . .
-=| Top Screen |=-
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Album |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| Photos Registered to Pokedex |
| 0 |
| |
| Registered Pokemon |
| 0 |
| |
| Photos Remaining |
| 2975 |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Photos Registered - This is the photos registered to your Pokedex.
Registered Pokemon - This is the photos of your Pokemon registered.
Say you have 5 photos total: 2 of Landorus,
1 of Wailord, and 2 of Pikachu. Your total
here would read as 3, because while you have
5 pictures, there are only three Pokemon
total represented in them. (Obviously you
would need to check the register check box
when saving a photo to get it to register.)
Photos Remaining - The number of photos that can be saved to the
SD card.

<- - Go back a page.
[Pokeball] - This takes you back to the main menu.
[Delete] - This will not show if you currently do not have
any pictures here. Click this button will allow
you to enter Delete mode. Tap it, then hit the X
on the top right of the pictures you'd like to
delete. Tap it again to get out of Delete mode.
[Records] - Takes you to the Records section. (See
previous section for more information.)
[Pokemon Pic] - This is a picture of the Pokemon from the
software.
[Pokemon Name] - The name of the Pokemon under its picture.
[Pic] - Depending on how many pictures you have
[ 1 ] registered for the Pokemon will depend on how
many of these you see. Remember, you can see up
to five per Pokemon if you've taken that many.
==============================================================================
Each row will have a new Pokemon, depending on how many you have
registered at the time. So if you like to take a lot of pictures, you may
have enough where you have to scroll down to see them all. This is fine!
Or, if you're like me, it'll probably be pretty empty. Unless I can get
a sweet picture of like Lugia or Umbreon.
Like I said, the album is pretty easy to get around and understand. And
you may not ever really need to go there or play with anything. Or, you
may love taking pictures and being there. Either way, it's pretty easy
to get things done here.
==============================================================================
X. AR Viewer [ARVWER]
==============================================================================
The AR Viewer is the section of the Pokedex that will allow you to read the
codes for Pokemon. This will allow you to interact with the Pokemon, take a
picture, and other things. First, let's take a look at the screen we'll be
seeing in this section.

button to go straight to the Pokemon's entry.
\ AR Viewer / - Title on top of the bottom screen. Below it is
where the Pokemon from the AR code
[Gear] - Gear icon that leads you to the AR Viewer options
screen.
[Pokemon Info] - Where the information will show when your camera
is reading a code for a Pokemon.
[Action] - The icon is of a clapperboard. (If you didn't
know the name of it, you do now!) This gets your
Pokemon to perform an action.
[Stop] - The icon is of a stop watch. This will freeze
your Pokemon. So if he's in the middle of an
action shot, you might get a pretty cool pose.
[Music] - The icon is of a musical note. It's not that it
does music, but gets your Pokemon to use its cry.
[Explosion] - Okay, so that's the best thing I could come up with
to explain this icon. It's the icon for a Type
check. Tap a type and see how effective it would
be if you used a move with that type against it.
[Podium] - The podium here is for comparing two or more Pokemon
within the cameras view. Click on the stat and it
will tell you which is first in that, which is
second, and which is third.
[Camera] - This is to take a picture of the Pokemon. (Or
what ever may be in your cameras view.) You can
press the left or right shoulder button to take a
picture. You can also press the button itself to
take one.
Before we move on, let's take a moment to see what the bottom screen would
look like if I had a Pokemon within my outer cameras view. In this example,
it will be Tornadus. It just happened to be the AR Marker easier to
recognize in the room I was in with the light.

[!] - This is where a small picture of the Pokemon you
are currently viewing will show up. The (Fly)
next to it is telling you its type.
[View Details] - This is a large button here. Clicking this takes
you to the Pokedex entry to read up more about it.
---------------------------------------
------> AR Viewer: Options Menu <------
---------------------------------------
The options menu is different for the AR Viewer. It has its own set of
options, dealing with how the Pokemon in the Viewer appear, as well as
a chance to head over and photo manage, should you need to. Let's take
a look at the bottom screen for the options menu.

[Album] - Click this button takes you to the Album section.
A good way to manage your photos if you feel like
you need to from here.
[Load from] - This button allows you to access your SD card to
[ SD Card ] pull images off of it.
Microphone Spin - With this on, if you blow into the microphone while
in the AR Viewer, the Pokemon you have up will spin.
Turn this off if you don't want it to spin or some
wind is causing your Pokemon to move without you
wanting it to.
Base Effects - This is just an On/Off switch for the base that
appears below the Pokemon in the AR Viewer. If you
prefer not to have a base, just turn it to Off.
Scale Settings - This adjusts the size of the Pokemon. In the ON
position, small Pokemon are made larger and large
Pokemon are made smaller. In the OFF position,
Pokemon are displayed at the size with respect to
the AR marker.
Slider - The Slider is a Scale-Settings Slider. It changes
the size of Pokemon from one-third to three times
their size depending on where the slider is. RESET
places the slider back to normal size.
---------------------------------------
----> AR Viewer: Other Information <---
---------------------------------------
There's some other information that one might need or want to know. I
will include that information here. But also, don't be afraid to check
the manual that comes with the software. It may cover some things I
don't.
- Photos taken with the camera are only in 2D.
- When you take a picture, it'll ask you to Save Photo. The top choice
is Cancel, and the bottom choice is to Save to SD Card. Below that
will be a check box that will say "Register in Pokedex [Pokemon
(form)]". Where (form) is if it has a particular form. Using
Tornadus as an example from above, when I took a picture, it read
"Register in Pokedex [Tornadus Incarnate Forme]".
- When you save a photo taken with the Viewer and a marker, it is
registered to the Pokedex and added to the images of the Pokemon.
You can store up to 5 photos for the same Pokemon at once. If
you wish to remove some, you'll need to do so through the Album.
- You can save photos without registering to them with the Pokemon
in the Pokedex. Just uncheck the box as you save it.
- If a Pokemon is already registered with a photo, a Photo button
will be displayed. Tap it to open the Album, if you need to
manage your photos or check out to see what photo(s) the Pokemon
has.
- This next part is taken straight from the manual on page 14.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
See Life-Size Pokemon
When the Scale Settings are OFF, Pokemon are displayed in their
actual proportions.
Make an AR Marker that is one square meter (approx. 3ft. 3in.)
in size, and use the following settings:
(1) Scale Settings are set to OFF.
(2) Scale Settings Slider is reset.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
- According to the manual: "the AR Viewer can recognized hand-drawn
Pokemon AR Markers. [. . .] Pictures of Pokemon AR Markers that were
taken with a digital camera can also be recognized. If a friend has
the application, you can recognize the Pokemon AR Markers displayed on
your friend's screen." (Manual page 15) This of course also recognizes
any AR Markers you've printed as well. This page also provides tips on
how to get one you've drawn recognized by the Viewer.
==============================================================================
XI. Pokemon Codes [PKCODE]
==============================================================================
So, it's come to my attention there are codes to unlock Pokemon within the
Pokedex Pro that weren't in there by default. To access these Pokemon, you
will need to go to the Pokemon Challenge section, then go to the bottom.
Remember the green ones down below, that you can change? You'll need to do
so here. I deleted one that I didn't care about then entered the code. Once
you've entered the code, you'll then need to tackle the Challenge. It
doesn't matter how many you get. All that matters is that you try, from my
understanding. (I always do, so you know, hard to tell otherwise.) Then, at
the end you will be congratulated on completing the challenge and that you've
unlocked the Pokemon whose code you put in.
Here are ones that are currently available:
Meloetta's keyword is: TTQALFHN
Genesect's keyword is: PHSKUTDF
==============================================================================
XII. Verdict [VRDICT]
==============================================================================
This is a bit of a leap from the norm for me. I don't make a section in
my guides giving my verdict on whether something is worth purchasing or not.
Honestly? Because to each their own. And if I make a guide on it, it
probably means I like it. However, this was kind of a leap of faith in
Nintendo on this. It was easier to jump on board on the free one, because,
well, who doesn't like free?! But, I feel for 15 USD (plus tax), it probably
warrants a bit of an opinion piece. Especially since it's not a game. It's
a reference tool, and that can be a bit of an expense not knowing how well
together something is put together. So, below I will give my opinion on
the Pokedex 3D Pro. Take it for what you will.
My Opinion
----------
My initial reaction on hearing they were discontinuing the free Pokedex in
favor of putting up a paid one was a bit of irritation. I am a pretty cheap
person, to be honest. I had always hoped they'd update the free one to
include all Pokemon, but honestly in the end I feel like it was a dip in
the water to them. To see how it would do, and to test it out. But, upon
hearing that this paid one would contain all Pokemon, I was a bit happy.
Just felt like they could have added them to the old one, but I know there
could have been many reasons they didn't. I'm not here to speculate on that.
There have been some changes, that which are interesting. I really like the
main menu in this particular version. It's simple yet effective. And they
give you a button to press to go back to it if you want, along side with the
previous page button. Quite nice. The voice saying the name on each Pokemon
data entry is quite interesting. I guess it settles if you should have a
debate with someone on how something is pronounced. I know a few of them I
pronounced one way, the voice said it a different way.
Obviously, another change, is the addition of all the other Pokemon. That
is a huge change. Making this Pokedex a behemoth. It's all the information
that the previous Pokedex had, but for all of them now. It's nice to be able
to check the stats out that way. I quite liked the way they presented the
stats in the first Pokedex, and carried it over to this one.
They also added some information to the Pokedex entries that the last one
didn't have. Specifically the Matchup by Type. That is quite a nice
addition to it. It's great for a visual indication if you're looking to
find something that is good to use against it. Actually something that
was sorely needed I think.
The Challenges are the most fun for me. I love them. I am not really
good at Pokemon cries (I second guess myself and end up finding my first
answer is usually right, when I even think I have a guess), and I'm still
working on the whole weight and height thing. But, I have noticed for
Pokemon I don't know all that well, I'm slowly remembering things about
them. It's definitely great to work on remembering more, because it
definitely helps in battle with trying to think types of moves to use
against a target. By far my favorite thing, and if you like quizzing
yourself on Pokemon stuff, I think you'll enjoy it too. Enough of a
wide variety of how difficult challenges can get depending on how
confident you are.
With that said, would I actually use this? Well, it depends on what you
mean by use. I would use it for entertainment purposes. Specifically
challenging myself with the Challenges. But use it while playing my
game? No. I imagine this is meant to be used as a learning tool, but
could be used along side the game should you choose to. For me it
would work since the Pokemon games right now aren't 3DS specific, I
play them on the DSi LL. But, honestly, if I need quick information,
I'm probably more likely to bring up a FAQ or guide on GameFAQs and
leave it up on my computer while I do so. Like say for a type FAQ or
something. But we all have our own ways of handling things. And
sometimes they end up being ways we've just done so long, that they're
hard habits to break.
I can say I have gotten my monies worth out of it so far. The
challenges have kept me busy, and I've actually enjoyed using the AR
Viewer. I can see myself continuing to use it to strengthen my Pokemon
knowledge.
Ultimately, the Pokedex is a great tool. Just don't expect it to be its
own game or anything. This is great for Pokemon fans, new and old. It
mainly is all about what you want to get out of it. For me, it's the
trivia, but also to really get in and learn some of those Pokemon that
I didn't either bother to learn or didn't encounter often enough to do
so. It'll definitely help me in the long run playing Pokemon Black 2.
But even if you aren't a fan but interested, it might be worth a look.
Just don't expect more than a Pokedex and I think it'll be fine. For
the cost, versus the amount of information, I think it's a worthy buy.
