Trivia

 * Journal page unlike any other scrollable page in the game cannot be quit by swiping page downwards at its very top to make X mark appear above the content.
 * Due to some bugs, player can sometimes see recently Pokémon hatched from egg, before even seeing the hatching animation in the first place. However, quiting journal and profile pages triggers hatching animation as it can be only started from Map View screen.
