Pokédex - Features

Hello world!.... *medium size wall of text hits you, its not very effective*
Wouldn't it be awesome if you could use your pokedex the same way Ash does in the anime series?
You come across a Pokemon, and your not exactly sure what it is, so you use your Dex to scan it.
Getting some basic info, like type and personality, etc.
I didn't find anything similar posted, so I hope this hasn't been discussed :).
So thoughts on this?

No the data is collected as usual. Once you encounter or Catch a pokemon, data will be stored. But if you for some reason need to actually SEE that data right there and then, you could use your pokedex.
Do you understand what I´m getting at?
About the move set info, No.
In that case only VS wild Pokémon or it would give the "scouting" Player to much information on how to effectively counter.
(to clarify, this would become available during battle)
You might argue that seeing the type also gives away to much.
But consider this; You are a total newb at Pokémon, maybe you just played the first games?
Maybe finished the game once or twice.
Its almost impossible for any player thats not a hardcore fan to learn all types, of all pokemon.
(If you only played the 4th gen games, its possible you haven't seen them all yet)
Knowing types in Pokemon is essential to you being successful in battle, this information should be available to everyone.
Without this, players would also sometimes during battle have to go to a "pokedex site", if they are unsure about opponents pokemon type. This would lessen the battling pace considerably.
Or are we looking to have the exact same pace we sometimes see on wifi?
I thought this was an MMO with fast-paced strategic action...

Doesnt the pokedex already do this?? I havent played any of the newer handhelds and I cant find anything online that says that the data changes from series to series.
Basic info like type, personality, height, weight, species is pretty standard isnt it?

Yes but... Not as a "scan feature" during PVP battles, or just battle in general.
You face a Pokemon you don´t know what it is, so you press the "Pokédex scan" button.
Maybe some small effect of the Pokemon being scanned or something, I don´t know.
You get to see the pokes, its name, type, personality etc.
This would make the Pokédex feel a lot more interactive and fun, hell I might even scan a Pokemon the first time I see it in game, even if I know what it is, for that RP feel :).
While you can access this information outside battle very easy, the ability to do so mid battle is non-existent.
Read my first post again, I hope you understand what I´m getting at.

Wouldn't this slow down the pace of the battle?
Maybe you could do it audibly and kind of multitask it ?

It wont slow down the battle, since people that dont have to use it wont, and those that have to use it, will use it instead of "pokedex sites" which would require you to change from your playing window to another etc.
And that is way slower than the Dex application I´m suggesting
