[[File:Poketch2.png‎|thumb|250px|The latest model of Pokétch]]
The '''Pokémon Watch''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンウォッチ''' ''Pokémon Watch''), or '''Pokétch''' (Japanese: '''ポケッチ''' ''Pokétch'') for short, is an electronic device found in [[Sinnoh]]. It was manufactured by the [[Pokétch Company]] and appears to be a watch with a {{wp|Dot-matrix display|dot-matrix}} touch screen.

In {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|Brilliant Diamond|Shining Pearl}}, the {{player}} obtains it in [[Jubilife City]] after obtaining three [[Coupon]]s from {{tc|Clown}}s. The Pokétch was redesigned for Pokémon Platinum. This revision added another button to the Pokétch; the bottom button has the same function as the Pokétch button in Diamond and Pearl, while the top button cycles backwards through the various apps.

Similar devices are the [[Pokégear]], the [[PokéNav]], and the [[C-Gear]].

==Apps==
The Pokétch's functionality comes from the applications, or Pokétch apps, that are installed in it, making it extensible. The Pokétch Company, as well as independent developers, periodically create new apps. The user scrolls through a Pokétch's apps by tapping a button on the side of its screen.

In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, there are 25 available apps, four of which are included with the Pokétch. The rest are not available at the start but can be received at a later time, and a few must be obtained by showing a certain species of Pokémon to another character. Listed in each section below is the [[Pokémon games|in-game]] description of its app, followed by its in-game location and further information about it. In {{v2|Platinum}}, the apps are ordered in the same order as they are on the Pokétch in Diamond and Pearl.

In [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], the Pokétch now lies in the top-right hand corner of the screen, and can be magnified by tapping the R button. Pressing the R button again minimizes the screen to the top-right corner, while holding the R button for longer removes the Pokétch from the screen. A new Hidden Moves app replaces the function of [[HM]]s.

===Digital Watch===
[[File:Digital Watch App.png|frame|The Digital Watch in {{game|Platinum}}]]
''"The Digital Watch displays the current time. Don't be late for meetings with your friends!"''

The '''Digital Watch''' (Japanese: '''デジタルどけい''' ''Digital Clock'') is a {{wp|digital clock}} app that displays the time of day in {{wp|24-hour clock|24-hour format}}. It runs off the [[Nintendo DS]] or [[Nintendo Switch]]'s internal clock. It is included with the Pokétch.

There is also an [[#Analog Watch|analog clock app]], but that app must be unlocked separately.

While the screen is being touched, it brightens slightly, as if a backlight were turned on.

===Calculator===
[[File:Calculator App.png|frame|The Calculator in {{game|Platinum}}]]
''"The Calculator can handle up to ten digits. It's perfect for figuring out math questions that might pop up."''

The '''Calculator''' (Japanese: '''けいさんき''' ''Calculator'') is a basic calculator app that includes addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It is included with the Pokétch.

The calculator can only display up to 10 characters in the number: For integers it can display up to 10 digits, but for non-integers it can only display up to 9 digits due to the decimal point occupying one of the displays. In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, if a calculation results in a number that would require more than 10 characters to display, decimal digits are truncated until the number fits in the display (with the truncated digits discarded from the actual number, not just the display); if there are more than 10 digits in the integer part of the calculated number, or the calculator attempts to divide by zero, a sequence of question marks are displayed instead of the number. In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, decimal digits are truncated in the same way for the display, but the truncated digits remain in number itself and continue to be used in future calculations using that number.

In [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], it has been reported to [[List of glitches (Generation VIII)#Calculator|exhibit wonky behavior]].

When an answer is displayed, if the player has a Pokémon registered as "Seen" in their Pokédex whose Pokédex number is equal to the result (rounded down to the nearest integer), the calculator will play that Pokémon's [[cry]]. In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, this is based on [[Sinnoh Pokédex]] number at first, but changes to [[National Pokédex]] once the player obtains the National Pokédex. In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, it is always based on National Pokédex number.

In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl<!--, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl-->, as part of the [[Hearthome Gym]]'s puzzle, the player is asked to calculate some basic mathematical questions. Getting these questions wrong results in Trainer battles, during which the Trainers often wonder why the player did not use the Calculator app to get the right answer.

===Pokémon List===
[[File:Pokémon List App.png|frame|The Pokémon List in {{game|Platinum}}]]

The '''Pokémon List''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンリスト''' ''Pokémon List'') is an app that displays basic information about the player's [[party]]. It is included with the Pokétch.

It displays the menu sprites of the Pokémon in the player's party, each with their HP bar and an icon if they are holding an [[item]]. Tapping on a Pokémon plays that Pokémon's [[cry]]. If a Pokémon has a [[status condition]], it is displayed with gray silhouette and has an altered cry. If the Pokémon has fainted, it is displayed with the same gray sprite as if it has a status condition, but does not respond when touched.

In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, the party list does not automatically update if a Pokémon's status or HP changes without entering a battle or opening a menu (e.g. healing at a Pokémon Center or taking {{status|poison}} damage). The display can be refreshed by tapping the screen or switching apps.
{{-}}
===Friendship Checker===
[[File:Friendship Checker App.png|frame|The Friendship Checker in {{game|Platinum}}]]
''"The Friendship Checker indicates how [[friendship|friendly]] your {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are to you. Touch the screen. The Pokémon that like you will come closer."''

It is obtained from a woman in [[Eterna City]]'s [[Pokémon Center]].

The Pokémon in the player's party, represented by their menu sprites, are depicted milling about the screen. Touching and holding on a Pokémon will play its [[cry]] and display zero, one, or two large or small hearts around it corresponding to its [[friendship]]. If a Pokémon is at maximum friendship, it will have 2 giant hearts; if a Pokémon has low friendship, it will move away from the point where the screen is being touched.

Double-tapping makes all the Pokémon displayed jump.

===Dowsing Machine===
[[File:Dowsing Machine App.png|frame|The Dowsing Machine in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}]]
''"The Dowsing Machine searches for hidden or obscured [[item]]s. Touch the radar screen. If there is an item nearby, it will respond."''

The '''Dowsing Machine''' (Japanese: '''ダウジングマシン''' ''Dowsing Machine'') is an app that indicates the location of nearby hidden items. In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl, it is received from {{ga|Dawn}}/{{ga|Lucas}} on {{rt|207|Sinnoh}} near the {{rt|206|Sinnoh}} junction; in Pokémon Platinum, it is received from them on Route 207 at the entrance to [[Mount Coronet|Mt. Coronet]]. It is the equivalent of the [[Dowsing Machine]] item that appears in other games.

It represents a 15×17 grid of tiles around the player, with the tile the player is standing on at the center. Touching anywhere on the screen sends out a ping with a radius of 4 tiles, originating from the point touched. If any hidden items are in the pinged area, a blinking dot will appear at the item's location on the app; if a hidden item is near the ping but not inside it, the ping will repeat several times rather than disappearing instantly (like it usually would).

To obtain a hidden item, the player must face the item and press "A". Standing on top of the item does not allow the player to obtain it until they move.

Some hidden items can only be revealed by touching their exact location on the Dowsing Machine, instead of just nearby it. These include the [[Odd Keystone]] hidden in [[Twinleaf Town]], the [[Suite Key]] at the [[Hotel Grand Lake]], and hidden [[Max Revive]]s.

In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, it is received from a girl in the [[Berry Master]]'s house in {{rt|208|Sinnoh}} after answering "yes" to her question. This app is not present in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, presumably due to being made redundant by the new functions of the [[Town Map]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Dawn Pokétch.png|thumb|250px|Dawn's Pokétch]]
The Pokétch debuted in the {{pkmn|anime}} in ''[[DP010|Not on MY Watch Ya Don't!]]'', where {{an|Dawn}} obtained one. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} also visited the [[Pokétch Company]], where they learned from the [[Pokétch Co. President]] that the Friendship Checker app was in the works and were allowed to test it with their Pokémon.

Since obtaining her Pokétch, Dawn has used it many times throughout ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''. In this [[canon]], the Pokétch is a popular device among [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s. Besides Dawn, her [[rival]]s [[Zoey]] and {{si|Kenny}} have been shown to own Pokétches as well, and [[Top Coordinator]] {{jo|Marina}} was seen on a [[Magazines in the Pokémon world|magazine]] in an advertisement for the product.

In ''[[DP025|Oh Do You Know The Poffin Plan!]]'', Dawn was shown using the Kitchen Timer during a [[Poffin]] cooking class taught by [[Forsythia]]. She used the application again in ''[[DP084|Hungry for the Good Life!]]'' while preparing Poffins for {{cat|Dawn's Pokémon|her Pokémon}} at [[Mr. Backlot]]'s {{si|Pokémon Mansion|mansion}}.

[[File:Zoey poketch.png|thumb|left|250px|Zoey's Pokétch]]
In ''[[DP046|A Maze-ing Race!]]'', Dawn obtained the Coin Toss application for her Pokétch after turning in a coupon at a [[Pokémon Center]]. She used the Coin Toss numerous times during her {{pkmn|journey}} with Ash and {{an|Brock}}. For instance, in ''[[DP093|Playing The Leveling Field!]]'', both Dawn and Ash wanted to have a battle with [[Fantina]], and when she said that she would only face off against one of them, Dawn used the app to decide who would get the chance to battle her.

[[Rosebay]], a character who appeared in ''[[DP013|A Staravia Is Born!]]'', owns a Pokétch.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}====
The Pokétch was used by three main characters, {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}}. In ''[[PS338|Stagestruck Starly]]'', Diamond and Pearl received Pokétches, together with [[starter Pokémon]] and [[Pokédex]]es, from Platinum for their {{pkmn|journey}}, as she mistook them for [[Paka and Uji|her bodyguards]].

The trio's Pokétches were manufactured specifically for Platinum's journey, and are, by request of [[Professor Rowan]], each colored differently so that they wouldn't get mixed up by their users. Diamond's Pokétch is blue, Pearl's is orange, and Platinum's is red. The Pokétches had functions similar to those in other media, and were used by the main characters a few times. For example, Diamond used the [[Dowsing Machine]] app to track down a {{pkmn2|wild}} [[Kit|Lickilicky]]'s hiding place and traced its movements with the pedometer in order to defeat and {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it in ''[[PS391|Luring in a Lickilicky]]''.

===={{chap|Platinum}}====
In ''[[PS423|Tackling Togekiss]]'', the trio was revealed to have received the updated models of the Pokétch.

==Trivia==
* Officially, as stated by the owner of the [[Pokétch Company]], there are two models of the Pokétch: a blue one for boys and a pink one for girls. However, the official art, sprites, and models of {{ga|Barry}} show him wearing an orange Pokétch. His {{an|Barry|anime}} and {{adv|Pearl|manga}} counterparts also wear the orange Pokétch in its Platinum design.
** The color of his Pokémon Adventures counterpart's Pokétch is explained, however. Professor Rowan asked the [[Pokétch Co. President]] to produce an orange one so that the three Pokétches wouldn't get mixed up by {{adv|Platinum}} and her [[Paka and Uji|bodyguards]] who were originally going to receive the Pokédexes and Pokétches instead of {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}}.
* For ''[[DP010|Not on MY Watch Ya Don't!]]'', [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] is about the Pokétch. He writes this {{wp|senryū}} about it: 「ポケッチに　まだまだふえる　アプリかな」 ''"For the Pokétch, an ever-growing Application."''
* The father of the company's president remarks on the Pokétch: "''Pokémon Watch! That's Pokétch for short. Say it the long way and... What does Pokémon stand for again?''" This is the first time that the fact that [[Pokémon]] is short for Pocket Monsters is referenced in the English translation. Essentially, this would also mean that the ''real'', long way to say "Pokétch" would be to say Pocket Monster Watch, which the Japanese games themselves explicitly state.
* The games show the Pokétch with a traditional LCD, reminiscent of the [[Game Boy]], while the anime switches between an LCD display and a full-color LED display.
* In {{game|Platinum}}, [[Jubilife TV]] has a program starring [[Ketch Appy]], a detective who uses the Pokétch to solve crimes and gives tips for using the Pokétch.
* In function, a very close real-life analog to the Pokétch is the {{wp|Timex Datalink|Timex Datalink USB}} watch, more accurately described as a programmable wrist computer, used by astronauts and cosmonauts in space.
* In Generation IV, the English, German, and Spanish names of the Trainer Counter is mistranslated: in Japanese, it is known as the ポケトレカウンター''Pokétore Counter'', referring to the [[Poké Radar|Poké Trace]], not to a Pokémon Trainer.
* When wearing the Platinum Style in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Pokémon Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl]] the Pokétch will have the body of the first model while the strap match the Pokétch model of [[Pokémon Platinum]] as noted by the concept art. 
[[File:Company PhoneCase Pokétch.png|thumb|75px|Pokétch case for the Rotom Phone]]
* In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], if the player has [[Save data bonus|save data]] from [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Pokémon Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl]], a woman in [[Mesagoza]] will give them a [[Rotom Phone]] case modeled after the Pokétch.
* {{SSB|Pokémon Trainer}}'s yellow alternate costume in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', which closely resembles the design of {{ga|Lucas}}, recolors his bracelets blue, matching that of the male design of the Pokétch.
