Teachers

Teacher Info

Teachers are an important part of your school. When a teacher teaches in a class, the stats of students in that room may raise. Having 1 teacher for each classroom is preferable. You can only have 2 teacher rooms total, for a total of 8 teachers.

Career Paths

Careers are what your students strive to be after the graduate. While more difficult careers have a higher chance of a student failing to graduate, they often pay considerably more, of which you then get a bonus. Unlike other things in the game, there seem to be many ways to unlock different careers paths, possibly based on what map is chosen, or other criteria.

Couples

This section is a stub. Please help expand it.

Couples can be formed with any number of hearts between them, but chances increase a lot the higher the heart count. Students gain hearts as they do activities with other students, and increase faster in areas with high spirit (so these should be common if you want to form couples). Auras also increase the odds of a couple successfully forming when a student asks another out (thus it's wise to wait until a student has an aura before using a Cupid arrow-pocket academy Cupid Arrow on them).

Structures

Structures come in three types: Environment, Facilities, and Special. Special structures have a finite amount that can be placed at any one time, while environment and facility structures have an infinite amount that can be placed.

Some structures can only be unlocked on specific maps, and are in no way attainable on others.

Spots

Spots are an important aspect of your school as they can, especially when used together at once, greatly boost the effectiveness of your structures.

Items

Items are special object that may be used on student to active a specific effect, with half of all items changing a stat, and the others forcing a specific change or event for the student.

Clubs

Clubs helps students meet other students, go on group events, and are also a requirement to unlock the "legendary" rank.


Challenges

Challenges are important in the long term term, as they increase the tuition gained by all students permanently. Some challenges you start out with, while other must be unlocked through specific criteria.

Events

Events take place two time a year, with each season having different events. During an event, you pick a student to recruit people for that event, and then a month later host the event with the people that were recruited. Events are key in raising the range of potential student types and gaining research points. Rewards listed below are a 1-time effect.

  • Summer Event - Starts annually on Month 6 Week 1
  • Autumn Event - Starts annually on Month 11 Week 1

Bugs & Cheats

Bug-game dev story Bugs and cheats listed below can be replicated on a device without the need of cheat tools.

Bugs

  • The description for the gold statue says "a impressive bronze statue", which is also grammatically incorrect.
    • At year 30 and 50 when you are awarded additional statues, it refers to all of them as "bronze statues" despite the fact that two of them are gold.
  • If a student enters an area that can only be accessed with a boat / skis, they may occasionally get stuck, often until the semester ends (although occasionally they will get unstuck and go back). Creating a way for the student(s) to get back across the water will usually make them move again.
  • Your event organizer (for spring / autumn events) can receive an invitation for an event, causing them not to be at school.
    • They might also change their clothes right after you ask them to be the event organizer.
      • This means there is a possible chance that no students have changed and no one is ready to participate in the event.
  • When skating is unlocked, students can sometimes change into tracksuits and travel on water even when it is not winter. They will use skateboards (not skates) or sometimes even just walk across water.
  • Right after an event ends, female students who are wearing blue tracksuits may appear to be using movement items.
  • On ver 1.1.0, the first time a student triggers an aura after a special class, "special" in the dialogue will be misspelled as "specal".
  • On ver 1.1.0, when hiring a teacher, certain applicants such as Jim Payne will have their Japanese name along with their English name.
  • No matter which personality you choose for your named student, he or she will appear to be "average".
  • If you attempt to use a Devil Arrow on a student who does not have a boyfriend or girlfriend, the error message displays in Japanese.

Cheats

  • If you fail a challenge, you can reload the game to reattempt it, as this game has no auto-save feature.
    • This also works for graduating students if they fail to get their chosen careers, though this is risky as other students may then fail their job on the second try.
  • If you compete in a club contest after the final tests but before the class leaves the classroom at the end of the 2nd semester, as soon as you come back to school the club will come back with the rest of the class,missing no time and you can send them again.
  • If you hold a special class before a student has gained any points after a transfer or on the first day,the 90 point classes you get from Legendary status will max those subjects out with just one class.(typically the student starts with 85)
  • It seems that the students are most likely to gain points in special classes if you use the points from the symbol that has the most points. Maybe it's to keep the symbol amounts as even as possible.

Summer Event

Starts before the summer holidays.

Autumn Event

Starts before the winter holidays.

Trivia

  • If you look at some of the Japanese titles, there appears to be a "Pocket Academy 2". However, what we have in English as "Pocket Academy" is, in fact, Pocket Academy 2. Because Kairosoft never released the first installment in the English app market, they simply dropped the "2" for the English release.
  • In the same sprite sheet as the other 3 "Research point" images (Hum, Sci, PE), A Book-pocket academy forth image with the same background as the others is there. When looking at the localization text there's a line right under the names of the other three that says "Materials". So this icon may be an unreleased but planned fourth research point type.
  • You may change your school's outfit at any time by going to Menu > School > School Info > hit arrow to go to "School Info 2/3".
  • In some versions, the color of the hair of the students is brown or blonde.
