* For ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', [[Professor Oak]]'s lecture is about the Pokédex. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: こまったら ひらいてみよう ポケモンずかん ''Komattara hiraite miyō, Pokémon zukan'' "When troubled, let's open the Pokédex".

* Most of the Pokédexes appear similar to one of Nintendo's handhelds. The Johto Pokédex resembles a [[Game Boy Color]], the Hoenn Pokédex appears similar to the [[Game Boy Advance]], the Generation III Kanto Pokédex resembles a [[Game Boy Advance SP]], the Sinnoh Pokédex resembles [[Nintendo DS Lite]], and the Generation IV Johto Pokédex is in similar appearance to a [[Nintendo DSi]]. However, the Generation V Unova Pokédex does not look like the next handheld, the [[Nintendo 3DS]], but rather a {{wp|form factor (mobile phones)#Slider|slide phone}}. The Generation VI [[Kalos]] Pokédex also seems to have basis on a tablet, or possibly the {{wp|Wii U GamePad}} and/or the [[Nintendo 2DS]].

** Though the original Kanto Pokédex doesn't resemble any Nintendo handheld devices, the Generation III Kanto Pokédex resembles a [[Game Boy Advance SP]].
** The Johto Pokédex resembles a [[Game Boy Color]], whilst the Generation IV Johto Pokédex is in similar appearance to a [[Nintendo DSi]].
** Both versions of the Hoenn Pokédex appears similar to the [[Game Boy Advance]].
** The Sinnoh Pokédex resembles [[Nintendo DS Lite]]

* In most canons, the Pokédex is evidently encased in material that is invulnerable to almost anything within reason. It has been soaked in water and (in the anime) electrocuted and exposed to high-temperature flames, all with no ill effect. It is also voice-sensitive. There are some limitations to its ability; certain circumstances can prevent the Pokédex from accurately identifying its target:

** A Pokédex which has not received a [[National Pokédex|National Mode]] upgrade will not display any information on Pokémon not usually found in its home region, even if those Pokémon have been caught, and if captured, its number will be listed as "???" in the [[Party|summary]] screen.
