Below you'll find a short list of the possible Information this Feature can provide you.
This Feature has various settings for you to modify and are all explained in Extended Preview Settins page.
HintOne thing you should keep in mind is that the Map Names are used from the map_metadata.txt PBS file for the Locations. You can use the LinkPoiToMap Setting to change the Name of your Maps. This will only apply for visual purpose in the Extended Preview and won't affect anything else outside the Region Map.
When Extended Preview is enabled and a Location Preview is shown on the Region Map, you'll be able to open the Extended Preview for this Location.
Like usual, the Button Preview will tell you which button to press.

Main Page
The Main Page can give you following information.
If there's no information available for the current Location then it'll say "No Date for this Location".

When there are multiple Locations with the same Map Position, you can press Left or Right to change Pages. The Location Name is shown on the top left and the page number is shown on the bottom left.
On the screenshot above, it shows 2 as the total pages, since I have the Setting NoUnvisitedMapInfo
set to true
, the 3rd and 4th maps aren't shown yet. If that Setting is false
, it'll show 4 as the total pages right away.

Wild Enounter Counter
This counter includes 3 individual counters showing the following (only when you can find Encounters on that Map).
- Seen: Shows how many different Species you've Seen on this Game Map.
- Caught: Shows how many different Species you've Caught on this Game Map.
- Defeated: Shows how many different Species you've Defeated on this Game Map.
Trainer Counter
This counter shows how many Trainers you have defeated out of the Total defeatable Trainers on this Game Map. When there are no Trainer on the map, it'll say "No Trainers to defeat".
Item Counter
This counter shows how many Items you have found/received out of the total Items that are findable/receivable on this Game Map. When there are no Items on the map, it'll say "No Items to find".
Examples

Sub Page
If there are no Encounters on the current Location, the Sub Page is not available. (See Cedolan City Gym in the examples above.)
If there is more than 1 Encounter Type for this Location, you can change the Encounter Type Page by pressing Left or Right.

The Encounter Type is shown on the bottom right.
This Sub Page can give you following information.
Encounter Table
This shows a table of all available Species for the current selected Encounter Type. As indicated above, these are the Species for the current Encounter Type Page available for the Selected Location.

Rattata can also be found on Route 1, so there's the option to reveal seen Species (these are the Species Seen and Caught on other Locations.)

You can turn this Button off in the Extended Preview Settings, it'll then always show all species seen.

Species Overview
This will show the cursor on the first revealed Species and will show you the following information:
Page 1
- Species Type: shows what Type the current selected Species is.
- Catch Rate: shows the Catch Rate of the current selected Species.
- Encounter Rate: shows all Encounter Rates (if more than 1) of the current selected Species.

- Counters
- Seen Counter: shows how many you've seen on this Game Map.
When you've seen the Species on 1 other or more Game Maps, it'll also give you the total number. - Caught Counter: shows how many you've caught on this Game Map.
When you've caught the Species on 1 other or more Game Maps, it'll also give you the total number. - Defeated Counter: shows how many you've defated on this Game Map.
When you've defeated the Species on 1 other or more Game Maps, it'll also give you the total number.

Rattata was seen on Route 2, so it'll give you the total number of seen Rattata on all Routes. The total number will not be shown if it's the same or 0.

Once you have caught a Species on a Location, the species will be shown in Color.
