Use the camera to register Pokémon in the Zukan

(1) While viewing your surroundings with the camera, search for colors around you and touch the screen!　The colors that can be used to identify are: Red, Green, Blue, Black, and White.
(2) When a color is loaded, the screen is linked to 20 different fields that are inspired by the color! For example: (Red => volcano, sunset, Green = flower garden, grassland, Blue => pond, underwater, Black => cave, thunder, White => snowstorm, sky, etc.)

The Pokémon that can be encountered change depending on the field and can be registered in the zukan.
