In [[Pokémon Adventures]], the starter Pokémon featured in the games are reserved for the few people who hold a Pokédex. [[Professor Oak]] produces three Pokédexes for each region, and gives out the three starter Pokémon in each region along with the Pokédex to Trainers he thinks are talented. He has colleagues and friends like Professor Birch do this for him in regions in which he isn't present.

He has colleagues and friends like Professor Birch do this for him in regions in which he isn't present. In the Unova refion, two sets of starter Pokémon are given out to six trainers, but still with only three Pokédexes. Professor Oak also gave Red's Pikachu as a special starter to Yellow. The only starter given out by professors in the game but not in the manga is {{p|Eevee}}. However, it is shown to be the starter of an antagonist, [[Karen]]. Karen later evolved the Eevee into an Umbreon. | ||
Most characters in the manga do not start out with one of the Pokédex-related starter Pokémon. Instead, they usually have a Pokémon they were given by their parents when they were infants that they use as their starter Pokémon. Occasionally, it is not directly stated which Pokémon were their starter Pokémon in the manga, but in profiles of their teams, their starter Pokémon is marked with a star and is among the highest level in the party, even if they acquired more than one Pokémon at first. | Most characters in the manga do not start out with one of the Pokédex-related starter Pokémon.
