Habitat List

The Habitat List in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2

The Habitat List (Japanese: せいそくちリスト Habitat List) is a Pokédex feature introduced in Black 2 and White 2. It lists each area the player has visited, along with every Pokémon the player has seen or caught that can be found in each area.

Each area's entry is divided into three parts: a main section, a Surfing section, and a fishing section. The main section aggregates all Pokémon found in tall grass, dark grass, rustling grass, walking in caves, dust clouds, and Flying Pokémon's shadows. The Surfing and fishing sections aggregate Pokémon found in the water normally and those found in rippling water. The Habitat List only includes Pokémon that can be found via random encounter; gift Pokémon and Pokémon that are found by interacting with them on the overworld, such as the Mandibuzz^B2 and Braviary^W2 on Route 4, are not included. Version-exclusive Pokémon are only part of the Habitat List in the version in which they can appear.

When the player has seen every Pokémon available in the main section, Surfing section, or fishing section of an area, that section's entry will be decorated with a gray icon of a Poké Ball. After the player catches every Pokémon available in a section, an exclamation mark will appear to notify the player that the section has been completed; once the player checks the section, the exclamation mark will disappear and the Poké Ball outline will be colored in with the usual red and white. When a player has caught every Pokémon available in all three sections of an area, that area's name on the list of areas will be decorated with a large gray shadow resembling a Poké Ball.
