Another small feature included with the 7th Generation Pokemon Games is the concept of Alerts. At the beginning of the game, if you click the X Button to see your in-game menu, all the new applications and features that are new to you will have a blinking icon that won't leave until you check them out. This is very similar to what happens in your bag when you get a new item, which won't stop blinking until you toggle over them. This is a friendly reminder to all players, but one that was primarily built for younger players to remind and show them what each item is and can do.
