The Pokégear's functionality comes from the several features and applications that can be installed in it, making it extensible. Many people are willing to give away special expansion cards to upgrade the Pokégear with other functions. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, there are 4 available functions, two of which are included with the Pokégear. The rest are not available at the start but can be received at a later time. | The Pokégear's functionality comes from the several features and applications that can be installed in it, making it extensible.

Included in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} with the Pokégear, the time function is the most basic feature. The Pokégear will {{wp|digital clock|digitally}} display the [[time|time of day]] using the {{wp|12-hour clock|12-hour AM/PM format}} as well as the [[day of the week]].

A glitch in Gold and Silver will change the day if the functions are scrolled through; this was addressed in Crystal. A function in Gold and Silver that allowed players to reset the game's time in the title screen was also removed from Crystal. | A glitch in Gold and Silver will change the day if the functions are scrolled through; this was addressed in Crystal.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the radio function makes a return, but the interface changed drastically from [[Generation II]]. Most of the dialog and the reception icon is now shown at the top screen, while tuning can be done at the bottom screens. Tuning is done in two ways: moving a rounded indicator around the circular area using the stylus, or by selecting one of the four buttons at the side of the circular area, which directly tunes the radio to a pre-set Radio Station. (The Mysterious Transmission and the Poké Flute have to be manually tuned using the stylus.) | In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the radio function makes a return, but the interface changed drastically from [[Generation II]].

Programs in HeartGold and SoulSilver are now more varied; Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk will update the player on recent [[Pokémon outbreak|swarm]], while a [[Variety Channel]] features a documentary and radio play. The broadcast timings for [[Buena's Password]] have also been changed, allowing her program to be received for one out of every three hours. Most programs are also not limited to their respective broadcast regions; the four main stations can be heard in both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]. | Programs in HeartGold and SoulSilver are now more varied; Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk will update the player on recent [[Pokémon outbreak|swarm]], while a [[Variety Channel]] features a documentary and radio play.

The Pokégear is often used in Pokémon Adventures, first appearing in the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}. The Pokégear is the Pokémon world's equivalent of a cellular phone, albeit with more functions such as a Map Card. In addition to the [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]] [[Pokédex holder]]s, {{adv|Ruby}} also possesses one. {{adv|Bill}}, [[Kimberly]], [[Mr. Briney]], [[Misty]], [[Erika]], [[Norman]], [[Juan]], [[Byron]], [[Riley]], [[Wallace]], [[Volkner]], and {{EF|Flint}} are also seen to own a Pokégear. [[Cyrus]] was seen with a special Pokégear that had the [[Team Galactic]] symbol around the screen. | The Pokégear is often used in Pokémon Adventures, first appearing in the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}.

In addition to its role as a cellular phone, the Pokégear can also be used as a remote control. It played a large role in the development of the [[Masked Man]]; this gadget was used to send signals to his Pokémon so that the Masked Man and his alter ego could be in "two places at one time." | In addition to its role as a cellular phone, the Pokégear can also be used as a remote control.
