The game's UI provides all the information you need to manage your Pokémon, items, and progress. Here's a quick overview of key UI elements:
- Top Screen: Primarily displays the overworld map, battle animations, and dialogue. During battles, it shows Pokémon sprites, HP bars, and status conditions.
- Bottom Screen: This is your interactive screen. In the overworld, it displays the Pokétch (Pokémon Watch), which has various apps. During battles, it shows your move options, item choices, and the ability to switch Pokémon.
- Main Menu (X Button): Accesses your Pokémon party, Bag (items), Trainer Card (your profile), Save option, and Game Options.
- Pokémon Summary Screen: Accessed from the Pokémon menu, this shows a Pokémon's stats, moves, ability, nature, and held item. Crucial for planning your team.
- Bag: Organizes your items into categories like Medicine, Poké Balls, TMs, Berries, and Key Items. Use L/R to switch categories.
Familiarize yourself with these screens, as you'll be using them constantly throughout your journey to manage your team and resources effectively.
