{{../Edit}}
In all [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]] since {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, players can '''register''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|登録|とうろく}}''' ''register'') and '''deselect''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|解除|かいじょ}}''' ''deselect'') certain functionality and/or [[Key Item]]s to/from the hardware buttons '''SELECT''' or '''Y''' for use in the overworld without navigating to the [[menu]] and selecting the appropriate category.

Starting in [[Generation V]], this function has been referred to as the '''Ready button''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|便利|べんり}}ボタン''' ''handy button''). In the [[Help System]], the function to remove registration is instead called '''unregister''' in English.

==Registrable features==
* [[Key Item]]s that bring up an interface (such as the [[Town Map]] or [[Dowsing Machine]])
* Key Items that can be used in the overworld (such as [[watering cans]], {{DL|Fishing|Equipment|fishing rods}}, and [[bicycle]]s)
* Some [[menu]] entries{{sup/5|BWB2W2}}

==Differences between generations==
===Generations II–III===
One [[Key Item]] can be registered to the '''SELECT''' Button.

===Generation IV===
====Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum====
One [[Key Item]] can be registered to the '''Y''' Button.

====Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver====
Up to two [[Key Item]]s can be registered at a time. The first item registered can be accessed through the '''Y''' Button, while both can be accessed on the outer area of the [[menu]], which is always open on the Touch Screen.

===Generation V===
[[File:Ready Button BW B2W2.png|thumb|128px|Page 1 of the Ready button's documentation in the [[Help System]]]]
The Ready button allows access to registered functions and [[item]]s. It is managed by adding or removing '''check marks''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|四角|しかく}}いマーク''' ''square marks'') to the boxes at the bottom of the [[Party|Pokémon List]], [[Pokédex]], [[Bag]], {{ga|Trainer Card}}, or [[Options]]. Registrable [[Key Item]]s also have a box next to the item in the [[Bag]]. It is accessed using the '''Y''' Button.

If only one function or item is registered, it acts the same as in previous [[generation]]s and does not bring up the Ready button interface. The button's list is limited to 34 entries which can be rearranged by pressing '''SELECT'''.

===Generation VI===
Up to four [[Key Item]]s to be registered to the '''Y''' Button. If more than one item is registered, the '''D-Pad''' or '''Circle Pad''' can be used to choose one of the items from the menu.
