[[Generation IV]]'s Pokédex (model HANDY910) added numerous features, but of FireRed and LeafGreen's changes, it kept only type. Area now changes its highlight color depending on whether a Pokémon is found normally or exclusively using [[Honey]], and the player can view the differences between morning, day and night, with the default being the current [[time]]. Cry's display returned, with a bar display in addition to the wave display, and the ability to modify the cry via Chorus/Pan, Reverb/Filter and Loop. Weight was added to the Size section, which puts the Pokémon and the player character on either side of a balance scale. A new Forms section allows players to see gender and form differences within species, but only for forms they have already seen. For a small list of Pokémon, if the player obtains a Pokémon from another country, they can [[Foreign Pokédex entries|change the language]] of that Pokémon's entry after meeting Meister. In Platinum, this function was expanded to all Pokémon, although it still requires Meister to update the Pokédex. | [[Generation IV]]'s Pokédex (model HANDY910) added numerous features, but of FireRed and LeafGreen's changes, it kept only type.

{{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} changed the formatting again, now displaying the list on the lower screen and the actual entry on the top screen. Cry's page was again removed. By selecting "view details", players can view Area, Size and Forms. Area no longer defaults to the current time or differentiated for Honey due to it no longer being a mechanic, Size now utilized both screens to display both Height and Weight at the same time, and Forms added a Compare option to see different forms side by side instead of having to scroll between them. Entries for Johto and Kanto Pokémon were taken from Gold for HeartGold and Silver for SoulSilver. Players can collect foreign Pokédex entries without the need to update their Pokédex. Also, while artwork shows a pink Pokédex for females, the in-game interface does not reflect this. | {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} changed the formatting again, now displaying the list on the lower screen and the actual entry on the top screen.

The [[Generation VII]] Pokédex consists of a device specially-designed to be inhabited by a {{p|Rotom}}, an innovation that gives the Pokédex its own personality and is intended as a new way for humans and Pokémon to communicate. In addition to a standard Pokédex function, the [[Rotom Pokédex]] includes a detailed map that can point out nearby locations of interest, and remind the player of the next objective based on recent conversations with NPCs. The Rotom Pokédex is a rare model even in the [[Alola]] region where it was created. | The [[Generation VII]] Pokédex consists of a device specially-designed to be inhabited by a {{p|Rotom}}, an innovation that gives the Pokédex its own personality and is intended as a new way for humans and Pokémon to communicate.

Like the Kalos Pokédex, the Alola Pokédex is divided into several categories, with a section for each of the four main islands of the region. Unlike the Kalos Pokédex, Pokémon in Alola can be found in more than one section of the Pokédex. In addition to the number of Pokémon seen and owned, it also displays the total percentage of Pokédex completion. The player can also scan QR codes to add Pokémon they haven't encountered yet to the Pokédex, allowing them to check the Pokémon's location in Alola. | Like the Kalos Pokédex, the Alola Pokédex is divided into several categories, with a section for each of the four main islands of the region.
