Compass

[neoman782]

While I know that a map system has already been mentioned for this game, I still think navigating may be difficult. Since the Pokemon maps are always oriented north to south, and your characterplayer characters in Pokemon3D can face and orient their screen in all directions, I feel that there should either be a compass, or the map should be oriented the way the player is facing when it is opened. I would personally prefer the compass.

A compass could be useful though I would rather have a mini map that appears in the corner of the screen while playing Pokemon 3D. A mini map could show what your surroundings look like from above and possibly include a compass as well.

Maybe there could be hidden pokemon jumping around and there could be a thing that you can unlock and when you have it it tells you where they are
9/10 cause some people dont know how a compass works because they might be lazy (like me)

I did consider a minimap at first, but that seems to take the fun out of not being able to see from above. My favorite aspect of the game is that you cannot always see the hidden items like in the main games. Your point about the compass does make sense, but it would not be that hard to figure out that the way the arrow is pointing is up or north. I am not referring to a minecraft style compass. Rather, I meant that it would be nice to have a compass that you could toggle on or off in the top right corner or somewhere out of the way. It could even be incorporated in the map as well.

first we need a map, and when it would be ready, we need to view the suggestion to it. Maybe the map in development has a "compass" incorporated

A map would still need to be added at some point. The reason is the move "Fly." Unless the creator would rather have a list of towns rather than the traditional over world map.

The map is integrated, there is one in the player's room.

I know a map is integrated in the player's room, what I am referring to is the ton map feature, and the idea that if it is the same one as the map in your room, it will not tell you which way you are facing. The version you take with you either needs to tell you which way you are facing, or a compass somewhere either on the map or on your gamescreen needs to tell you which way is north in relation to your current direction you are facing.

the sun and moon could be added to the skybox, so the sun is in the east in the morning, west in the afternoon, and the moon could be in the east at night. then you can just look up and there's something to get your bearings with. i know its not as fancy as a compass but that'd be a really easy way to add, and it doesnt require any big changes to the hud

I thought of that as well, I just did not want to suggest it because I have seen some complaints in other threads that the game is too much like minecraft. I personally would really like this idea, but an at least optional compass would allow for those not as familiar with directions to just use the designated letters. When I made my post, I considered that the average gamer wants an easy navigation system. Still, I would probably just use the sun or moon if your suggestion made it through, so why don't you post it as a separate suggestion.

I really don't understand people...

Fair enough. XD
