In ''[[EP001|Pokemon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash receives his first Pokédex, apparently nicknamed "Dexter". Throughout the series, Ash uses it to either identify Pokémon he isn't familiar with, check a Pokémon's moves, or identify Pokémon on request. Occasionally, though, Ash will scan Pokémon he has already seen, likely to either refresh his memory or out of curiosity.

In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', [[Brock (anime)|Brock]] tells Ash that a trainer can use his Pokédex to exchange his Pokémon.


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 a true encyclopedia than a data recording device. However, it should be noted that information relayed to the user may vary from time to time. This may happen even if the Pokédex remains unchanged in any way.
