Pokemon Black White Version 2 – The Habitat List and the Pokedex

The Habitat List
This is a completely new feature in the game, but a very welcome one. For many there is a lot of emphasis on catching all the Pokemon you can in a single area. What this does it make it easier to do just that. It will create a list that is very easily accessible through the Pokedex and break down what Pokemon you have caught and encountered from each of the area. Occasionally you will find people who give you rewards based on completing particular habitats.

Locations:
The habitat guide itself only explains some of how it works but does not fully break things down. Over time things become apparent if you look at it regular. On the Habitat screen you will see a locations name and up to 3 colored tabs to the left of it. The tabs will appear as you encounter and catch Pokemon over the course of the game.

Here is how the colors break done:
Green: Pokemon found in the tall grass
Pale Blue: Pokemon found on the water's surface
Dark Blue: Pokemon found by fishing (Available after clearing the Elite Four for the first time)

Tab Symbols:
Exclamation Point: Updated List – You have found Pokemon not previous listed
Grey Pokeball: Seen All Pokemon in that habitat
Red Pokeball: Captured All Pokemon in that habitat
