When a young [[Sam|"Sammy"]] Oak was accidentally warped to a future of his own time, {{Ash}} explained to him how the Pokédex works, unknowingly giving him an idea. In ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]'' it was mentioned that the Pokédex entries were written by [[Professor Westwood V]] of the [[Seafoam Islands]]. Unlike the games, entries in the anime are pre-programmed into the database and do not require catching to give full information. In this way, they act more as an aide or guide than a recording instrument. | When a young [[Sam|"Sammy"]] Oak was accidentally warped to a future of his own time, {{Ash}} explained to him how the Pokédex works, unknowingly giving him an idea. | ||

To look up information on a particular species, Trainers may simply point the Pokédex at an individual or manually enter it in. The Pokédex will then display a picture and read the entry out loud. It can also give more information on individuals on request, such as [[level]] and learned [[move]]s. Apparently, a picture or video recording of sufficient quality can also be scanned for information. | To look up information on a particular species, Trainers may simply point the Pokédex at an individual or manually enter it in.
