How to access the PC

Technically speaking, you don’t really have a PC to access anymore, not really. Shocking to know, taking away such a main stable of the games after decades of it being the same. However, the good news is this really is MUCH easier.

The boxes to access your captured Pokemon and transfer to your main party are now in the Main Menu! Isn’t that amazing!? All your Pokemon Party needs and PC functions are now immediately available by pressing the Main Menu button. After pressing the button just go to the label that says Boxes and there you go!

Finally, all of your caught Pokemon are available anywhere anytime! It feels like a miracle for long-time players. No more running off from where you were all the way back to the nearest Pokemon Center. Even better, you also have the option to swap out your newly caught Pokemon into your party first thing after catching it. So you don’t even have to boot up the boxes if you’re already keeping up with who you want in your party! Finally, the days of running back and forth to the PC are behind us.
