Trivia

  • Journal page unlike most of scrollable page in the game cannot be quit by swiping page downwards at its very top to make X mark appear above the content.
  • Due to some bugs, player can sometimes see recently Pokémon hatched from egg, before even seeing the hatching animation in the first place. However, quitting journal and profile pages triggers hatching animation as it can start only in the Map View.
