Quotes Hello, hello, everyone." "We have some exciting news this morning. Who wants to hear it?"

"Could I trouble you for a few words introducing yourself?" "Does anyone else have a question for their new classmate?" "Well, thank you for telling us a bit about yourself, . "I'm Mr. Jacq. I teach biology here at the academy, and I'm also your homeroom teacher." "That's your seat. Second row from the front." "All right, you ragamuffins. Be nice and friendly to our new classmate!"

"I'm, uh, hehe...I'm the one who made it, you know." "Every time someone using the app catches a Pokémon, that data gets sent to me." "It's really helping with my Pokémon research!" "So be sure to catch any new Pokémon you find and work on filling in your Pokédex." "For your first goal, let's aim for, say...30! Register 30 Pokémon in your app!" "Let me know once you've done so!" If talked to again, before registering 30 Pokémon in the Paldea Pokédex "Hello, hello. Have you been out there catching lots of Pokémon?" "Aim to register 30 Pokémon species in your Pokédex! Come tell me when you're done, OK?" After registering 30 Pokémon in the Paldea Pokédex "Ah! Hello, hello, !" "I see you've already registered 30 species of Pokémon to your Pokédex for me!" "Wow! So you caught this kind of Pokémon? And this one?! All this data... This is the best!" "Ah...sorry about that. I got a little excited there." "But I get the feeling that you're going to be a great help in my Pokémon research." "Here, take these. Consider it my way of saying thanks." "You sure are good at catching Pokémon, aren't you, ?" "For your next goal, let's aim for 100 species!" "Remember—when you find a Pokémon you've never seen before, give a Poké Ball a throw!" If talked to again, before registering 100 Pokémon in the Paldea Pokédex "Hello, hello. Have you been out there catching lots of Pokémon?" "Aim to register 100 Pokémon species in your Pokédex! Come tell me when you're done, OK?" After registering 100 Pokémon in the Paldea Pokédex "Ah! Hello, hello, !" "I see you've already registered 100 species of Pokémon to your Pokédex for me!" "Wow! Little Pokémon! Big Pokémon! Whoa, you even have data on Pokémon of this specific size?! So much data! SO MUCH TO ANALYZE!" "Ah...sorry about that. I got a little excited there." "My Pokémon research is moving forward at a great pace thanks to your efforts." "Here, take these. Consider it my way of saying thanks." "You're a natural at this Pokémon catching thing, aren't you, ?" "For your next goal, let's aim for 200 species!" "I know that's a tall order, but keep tossing those Poké Balls and don't give up!" If talked to again, before registering 200 Pokémon in the Paldea Pokédex "Hello, hello. Have you been out there catching lots of Pokémon?" "Aim to register 200 Pokémon species in your Pokédex!

Pokémon from the mountains! Pokémon from the sea! Wait, what?! No way! You even found Pokémon in a place like this?!" "Ah...sorry about that. I got a little excited there." "My Pokémon research is moving along super-duper splendidly thanks to you!" "Here, take this. Consider it my way of saying thanks." "You're a bona fide Pokémon catching professional, !" "For your next goal, it's finally time to go for a completed Pokédex! Aim for 400 species!" "This is no easy feat, but I'm sure you can do it." "Keep tossing those Poké Balls, and don't give up!" If talked to again, before registering 400 Pokémon in the Paldea Pokédex "Hello, hello. Have you been out there catching lots of Pokémon?" "Aim to register 400 Pokémon species in your Pokédex!" "Once you do, press the X Button in your Pokédex app and you'll get a nice little completion mark! I'd love if you could show me when you get it." After registering 400 Pokémon in the Paldea Pokédex "Ah! Hello, hello, !" "What?! Are you telling me you've already registered 400 species of Pokémon to your Pokédex?!" "Wow! WOW! You did it! You completed the Pokédex! That's amazing! REALLY amazing!" "Research on the Pokémon of the Paldea region is moving ahead like never before! And it's all thanks to you, !" "You know, I visited this strange shop the other day and happened to pick up a little something..." "Might not seem like much to get a secondhand gift, but here! From me to you!" "I wish I could give you something a bit better for your efforts..." "Ah! Director Clavell! This student of mine COMPLETED their Pokédex!" "He/She really surprised me too, pulling off a feat like this." "Programming is another of Director Clavell's skills, you know." "But anyway, you sure did great with the Pokédex, ." "If completing the Pokédex was one of the treasures you were after, then I'd say you've had a resounding success on your Treasure Hunt!" "Hehe... Well, I am his/her homeroom teacher, after all. Got to act like it from time to time, I guess." "You may have completed your Pokédex, but there is still plenty of adventure to be had!" "I hope you'll keep looking for new Pokémon to befriend here in Paldea!" Pokédex Evaluation "Try exploring the Paldea region on foot if you want to encounter lots of different Pokémon!" "Remember—Pokémon can be found in tall grass, caves, oceans, and all sorts of other places!" "Battle lots of Trainers to encounter more species of Pokémon and register them in your Pokédex!" "Once a Pokémon is registered as "battled," you can look up its habitat and find it for yourself!" "Trading Pokémon with other Trainers can also help you fill up your Pokédex!" "With Surprise Trades, you can trade with players from all over the world!" "Different Pokémon species prefer to be out and about at different times of day!" "Try visiting the same place during the morning, afternoon, evening, and night to encounter a variety of Pokémon!" "Are you evolving your Pokémon? There are quite a few species you can encounter this way!" "Let your Pokémon battle to gain experience, or use certain items on them to have them evolve!" "There are many Pokémon you can only encounter through trades!" "Why not try trading Pokémon with Trainers from a different academy than your own?" "Just a bit more to complete that Pokédex! You can do it!" "Congratulations! Your Pokédex now contains x volumes!" "In celebration of your achievement, please take this item/here are items!" After the player completes the Paldea Pokédex "You've encountered all the Pokémon in the region and completed the Pokédex!" "Congratulations on all your hard work coming to fruition, !" After the player completes the Kitakami Pokédex "A-amazing! You completed the Kitakami Pokédex!" "That means you've encountered every single Pokémon there is to find in the land of Kitakami!" "Exploring new places on your own two feet is a real treasure of an experience, isn't it?" "You know, I think you deserve a special diploma in recognition of this magnificent achievement..." "Come find me in the tall grass on Reveler's Road when you have some time!" After the player completes the Blueberry Pokédex "Amazing! You completed the Blueberry Pokédex!" "That means you've encountered every single Pokémon there is to find at Blueberry Academy!" "Exploring new places on your own two feet is a real treasure of an experience, isn't it?" "You know, I think you deserve a special diploma in recognition of this magnificent achievement..." "Go see Director Cyrano over at Blueberry Academy's entrance when you have some time!" In the staff room, with Salvatore "Hmm...yeah. It's feeling better, but this particular Pawmi may just be a bit meek, I suppose?" "I had Nurse Miriam take a look as well, and she says there's nothing wrong with it healthwise!" "So it shouldn't have any injuries, ailments, or the like." "Sorry that I couldn't be of any help..." Biology classes Biology (1) "Hello, hello. My name's Jacq, and I'll be your Pokémon biology teacher." "In my class, we'll all learn about the various quirks of our beloved Pokémon together!" "I hope you all come to love Pokémon even more from the things you learn here." "In today's class, I'll teach you a great way to get to know Pokémon in more depth." "If you'd like to become better friends with your Pokémon... you can let them come out of their Poké Ball and walk along with you! Sounds great, huh?" "You can use the ZR Button to throw a Poké Ball and let out the Pokémon inside." "Nothing cuter than watching your Pokémon run around underfoot, if you ask me." "Once you let your Pokémon out, try speaking to them—they're sure to respond in some way. It's a great way to get to know them better!" "However! Letting your Pokémon out of its ball isn't such a great idea in some locations. "Can anyone tell me where it is that you shouldn't have your Pokémon walk along with you?" Near the water: "It's certainly true that some Pokémon aren't fond of water, but we do have floating platforms they can use, so being near water isn't an issue." Inside buildings: "That's right! Great job, . I see you did your homework." In tall grass: "Pokémon love tall grass! I can't see them having any problem walking with you there." "The correct answer is that we should not walk with our Pokémon indoors. How about that!" "Some Pokémon might damage walls, desks, and other things walking around inside buildings, so it's not allowed regardless of the species." "Therefore, please only let your Pokémon out of their Poké Balls while outdoors. OK, everyone?" "I think I see them out and about in classrooms from time to time, but still..." "Anyway, you may become even closer friends with your Pokémon pals by walking together!" "Oh! I almost forgot—keep in mind that you can only walk together with your lead Pokémon." "Remember—use the ZR Button to throw a ball and let out the Pokémon inside." "You'll also want to remember that throwing a ball at a wild Pokémon will start a battle!" "It looks like that's all the time we have for today. See you all next class!
