Talk:DexNav

People've been saying about existence of platinum crown that apparently is for catching every Pokémon that can be caught, including post-National. Eridanus (talk) 15:02, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Search Function/Hidden Pokemon

I'm pretty sure that the hidden Pokemon show up on any tiles by themselves besides pokemon that can only be caught by fishing. Tsigma6 (talk) 03:43, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Unown sprite pattern trivia

I'm not sure if this should be noted here or on the Unown page, but in the DexNav display, the sprite changes. You see the first Unown I caught was a 'N' Unown, now I failed to see what the sprite was right after the encounter since I caught a 'B' Unown straight away (like a few steps and then bam, another encounter) When I went to use the DexNav, the 'B' sprite was in use. However, I just caught a A Unown and now the DexNav Sprite is an 'A' Unown. So it goes to reason that the Sprite defaults to the closest (alphabetically) sprite to 'A' possible. This might need further testing, but it still in interesting the sprite changes based on the form(s) encountered and/or caught. Yamitora1 (talk) 19:27, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Detector Mode

A Ranger on Route 119 describes the reactive magnifier/scope function as "Detector Mode". But given how this article is worded, I can't for the life of me make heads or tails of where that falls under. Kai * the Arc Toraph 18:24, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Search Level

Someone just added that the search level is a "red herring". This is incorrect, but I don't know how best to correct it. From what I've found, at least for lower search levels, the search level (which does correspond to the times a Pokémon is encountered) dictates HOW MUCH information about a Pokémon is shared. So, for instance, if your search level is just 2, you CAN still encounter a Pokémon with perfect IVs (just like you might if you weren't even using the DexNav) and you might even encounter something with a hidden ability, or a special item. But the lower the search level, the less information will be shown, up to the point where only the level is shown. So not a "red herring" at all, but an indicator of how much information can be determined in advance. It would probably be best if someone could try to find exactly which levels correspond to another fact or tidbit being added. —Andy^P_K^M_N (talk) 00:51, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Fair point; I was thinking from the point of view of acquiring better Pokémon. Though the search level still doesn't tell you anything new here, since you can plainly see how much information is visible  :) Eevee (talk) 02:10, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
