The '''Bag''' (Japanese: '''バッグ''' ''bag''), referred to on the [[menu]] as '''Item''' (Japanese: '''どうぐ''' ''tool'') in [[Generation I]] and '''Pack''' (Japanese: '''リュック''' ''ruck'') in [[Generation II]], is a vital tool in all [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]]. It holds all of the player's [[item]]s, storing them for later use. By opening the Bag, players can use, arrange, and toss most items, and [[Feature registration|register]] [[Key Item]]s for easy access.

In the [[Help System]] of the [[Generation V]] games, it is called the '''Bag function''' (Japanese: '''バッグの{{ruby|機|き}}{{ruby|能|のう}}''' ''bag function'').
==In the core series==
===Overview===
====Outside of battle====
[[File:SwShBag.png|thumb|200px|right|The Bag menu in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]]]
The Bag appears as part of the [[menu|start menu]] in all [[core series]] games, as well as in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}.

All [[items]] that the player has on hand will be located in the Bag and, after [[Generation I]], being placed in the appropriate pocket automatically. Prior to [[Generation IV]], the items pocket had limited spaces for items, while the other pockets had space for any and all items that would go there. The limit is 20 up through {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, 30 in {{v2|Emerald}}, and 42 in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. If an item to be picked up would be placed into the items pocket, however, and the pocket was full, it could not be picked up until the player had deposited some items into the [[PC]]. This problem no longer exists in Generation IV and beyond, where all pockets have enough space for every item.

Inside of the Bag menu, the player will find a list of all their items, ordered by default from the first kind obtained to the most recently obtained. Players may rearrange these items with the select button, except in the [[Berry|Berries]] and [[TM]]s and [[HM]]s pockets, which are automatically ordered. Depending on the type of item, and sometimes on the item itself, options exist when it is selected that allow players to use the item, throw the item away, [[Feature registration|register]] it to the Select/Y button for use on the field, or have a Pokémon [[held item|hold]] it.

In Generation II-III, if the bag is full, the message will state that the player found an item, but the next message will state that the bag is full. In Generation I, if the bag is full and the player finds an item, it will immediately state that the bag is full.
{{-}}

====In battle====
[[File:Pokémon battle items SM.png|thumb|200px|right|Bag menu during a Pokémon battle in Generation VII.]]
The Bag is also one of the four menu selections during a [[Pokémon battle]], and allows the player to use items that can be used in battle, such as [[Poké Ball]]s, [[Potion]]s, and items like [[X Attack]]. Prior to Generation IV, the Bag menu during battle was the same as that outside of battle, allowing inventory checking of items that are unrelated to battle during it. In Generation IV, however, it became a completely different menu on the touch screen, split into four categories of use:

* [[:Category:HP-restoring items|HP]]/[[:Category:PP-restoring items|PP]] Restore
* [[Status condition healing item|Status Restore]]
* [[Poké Ball]]s
* [[Battle item|Battle Items]]

Using an item while in battle uses up a turn. Prior to Generation VII, this only occurs if the item that the player tries to use has an effect during the battle (for example, attempting to use an [[Hyper Potion]] on the Pokémon while its HP is full will result in the "It won't have any effect" message). In Generation VII, attempting to use an item that would have no effect takes a turn, but does not consume the item. Items cannot be used in linked battles or in facilities such as the [[Battle Tower]].

The item that was last used during battle, if there were multiple copies of it in the Bag, can be easily used again. The selection cursor will remain on it in Generation I-III and VII games, while a shortcut menu will exist at the lower left corner of the screen to the last used item in Generation IV-VI.
{{-}}

===Differences between generations===
While the Bag has remained a consistent part of the menu screen for all generations, significant changes have been made to its structure in each succeeding generation, with most welcomed as improvements.

====Generation I====
In [[Generation I]], the Bag is a list of up to 20 different kinds of items, with no separation into different pockets. The player cannot obtain new items if they do not have room in their Bag. The player can hold up to 99 of each item; if obtaining an item would result in the player having more than 99 of a single item, the excess items are placed in a new stack if the player has room for another item stack in their Bag (otherwise they cannot be obtained). (Some [[glitch]]es, such as [[MissingNo.]]'s [[item duplication glitch]], allow the player to hold up to 255 items in a single Bag slot.)

Due to the limited space in their Bag, additional items can be stored in the [[PC]]'s {{DL|PC|Item Storage System}}. However, if the player's Bag is full, they cannot pick up new items, even if they have room in their Item Storage System, as the player can only move items between their Bag and Item Storage System by using a PC.

Despite the lack of pockets, there is still a distinction between [[Key Item]]s and other items. Key Items have no quantity displayed next to them (since the player can only ever have one instance of each Key Item at a time) and cannot be sold or tossed.

====Generation II====
[[File:Bag artwork.png|thumb|100px|Bag artwork from Pokémon Gold and Silver]]
{{incomplete|section|needs=Whether items can still form new stacks if the first stack exceeds capacity, Stadium 2 icons}}
In [[Generation II]], the Bag is now split into four different pockets. There are three specialized pockets for specific types of items, as well as the items pocket for all other items. While the specialized pockets now are each large enough to hold all items of their type, the items pocket still has a size limit, so additional items can be stored in the [[PC]]'s {{DL|PC|Item Storage System}}.

Each pocket can hold up to 20 different types of item, except the [[TM]] and [[HM]] pocket which can hold all 50 TMs and 7 HMs. The player cannot obtain more items if their Bag is full, even if there is room in their PC's Item Storage System.

The player can hold up to 99 of each item. <!--If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 99 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items.-->

Starting in Generation II, each item has a description, which provides the player information about its function.

| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybr|5px}}" | Contains all [[TM]]s and [[HM]]s.
|}

====Generation III====
{{incomplete|section|needs=Colosseum and XD details}}
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{XD}}, there is one more pocket than in Generation II, the {{Berries}} pocket. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, there are three pockets, with the Berries and TMs & HMs pockets being replaced by the [[Key Item]]s the [[Berry Pouch]] and [[TM Case]] respectively. While the specialized pockets are each large enough to hold all items of their type, the items pocket still has a size limit, so additional items can be stored in the [[PC]]'s {{DL|PC|Item Storage System}}.

The items pocket can hold up to 30 different items in Pokémon {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} (42 in Pokémon {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}). In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, and LeafGreen, the player cannot obtain more items if their Bag is full, even if there is room in their PC's Item Storage System. In Pokémon Colosseum and XD, if the player would obtain an item while their Bag is full, it will be sent to their PC instead.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items. The [[Key Item]]s pocket does not display the item quantity, because the player is unable to find more than one of each Key Item in normal gameplay. However, each Key Item actually has a hidden quantity value in the game data, therefore the Bag is able to store multiple repeated Key Items in the same line as well (like in any other pocket).

The Berries and TMs & HMs pockets, and their counterparts the Berry Pouch and TM Case, have a pre-defined order in which they are always sorted, unlike other pockets. The Berries pocket and Berry Pouch are sorted by Berry number. The TMs & HMs pocket and TM Case are sorted by TM and HM number; the TMs & HMs pocket sorts TMs above HMs, whereas the TM Case sorts HMs above TMs.

In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the player may store Key Items in the [[PC]]. However, this is not possible in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen]], and [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]]; in these games, all Key Item remains indefinitely in the Bag, except those items that are eventually delivered to [[non-player character|NPCs]].

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen introduced images of each item, which can be seen from the player's Bag. These images were retained in Pokémon Emerald as well as later generations, but were not used in Pokémon Colosseum and XD.

A visual of the Bag itself is visible while browsing its contents. Male and female player characters have different Bag designs. In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the Bags are yellow; in {{game|Emerald}}, they are green. In the catching tutorials, the {{ka|old man}} and [[Wally]] use the same Bag that the male player would use, even if the player is female. No visual representation of the player's Bag appears in Pokémon Colosseum and XD.

====Generation IV====
The Bag was revamped once again in Generation IV, not only removing the space limit (and making the PC item storage system for items obsolete, resulting in its discontinuation) but also splitting the pockets up further than in Generation III. Three new pockets were split off from the Items pocket, making for a total of eight pockets. The Bags are yellow in Diamond and Pearl, but gray/silver in Platinum.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items.

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the Bag retained the list-like format from Generation III, with pocket-changing controls as well as a Poké Ball-shaped scrollwheel being present on the bottom screen. {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, by contrast, groups the items into six-cell pages. Additionally these games have Ethan/Lyra holding the bag with the pocket being highlighted, while other games just show pockets.

====Generation V====
In {{2v2|Black|White}}, the Bag was overhauled again, with eight pockets being condensed into five, much like in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. The pockets are called Cases in these games, and are labeled '''Items''', '''Medicine''', '''TMs & HMs''', '''Berries''' and '''Key Items''', with [[Poké Ball]]s, [[Mail]], [[held item]]s and other items all being placed in the ''Items'' pocket. Held items, Mail and Poké Balls are indicated as such by an icon displayed to the immediate left of the item that corresponds to what type of item it is.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items.

In these games, recently acquired items (other than TMs) are added at the top of their respective item list (rather than the bottom, as in previous generations), and players can sort a pocket automatically by pressing Start, in addition to manual sorting with Select.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, a '''Free Space''' section was added to the Bag, and the icon takes on the appearance of a smaller Bag. Players can select items they use most and add them to Free Space for easy access. Manual sorting cannot be performed in this section, and items are always placed in alphabetical order. However, the player can filter the kind of items they want to see with the sorting button.

Unlike in the first pairs, new items go at the bottom of the item list like in previous generations rather than the top, including TMs and HMs. More sorting options were also added.

====Generation VI====
Generation VI saw the least amount of changes to the Bag. Items may be picked up by pressing and holding with the stylus, which allows for manual sorting; Start and Select both open the automatic sorting menu. In addition, the Items slot no longer has icons indicating items' types, though they are still grouped together when automatically sorted. <!--A new item type was added for the Strange Souvenir and event-exclusive Discount Coupon.--> The Free Space slot from {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} was removed, once again giving the Bag five slots, and each slot can be dragged to rearrange the order. A clock icon was also added at the bottom of the screen, which will show a list of the last twelve items used. An icon resembling two arrows rotating between was added at the bottom of the screen, also to open the automatic sorting menu.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items.

While the physical shape of the Bag did not change, it is now possible to customize the color and patterning of the bag due to it being an article of [[List of clothing (X and Y)|clothing]] as a part of [[Trainer customization]]. This is not in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] due to the lack of Trainer customization in those titles, otherwise the bag works functionally the same as it did in [[Pokémon X and Y]].

====Generation VII====
In Generation VII, the Bag retained most of its functions found in Generation VI except for the removal of the clock function and the reordering of pockets. While the five sections from Generation VI remain, two new sections were added.

The '''Free Space''' section, previously seen in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, makes a return and allows the player to store any items they want from other sections for convenience. A new section called '''Z-Crystals''' is also added, which stores all [[Z-Crystal]]s found in the game. The Z-Crystals section will only be available once the player has obtained a Z-Crystal and the [[Z-Ring]]{{sup/7|SM}} or [[Z-Power Ring]]{{sup/7|USUM}}. Due to the removal of HMs from the games, the '''TMs & HMs''' section has been renamed to '''TMs''' only.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items.

[[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] added a new section called '''Rotom Powers''', which stores {{DL|Rotom Pokédex|Rotom Powers}} received from befriending the [[Rotom Pokédex]]. The Rotom Powers works similarly to [[Pass Power]]s and [[O-Power]]s.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], with far fewer kinds of obtainable items, the bag is overhauled into being essentially a list of items displayed as a grid, similar to that of [[Pokémon Go]]. At the top of the list are eight pockets that are programmed as items that contain other items, like the [[TM Case]] from FireRed and LeafGreen. Many items do not belong in any category, such as [[Key Item]]s, [[valuable item]]s and [[Repel]]s, and are instead listed in the same level as pockets.

====Generation VIII====
In Generation VIII, the Bag retained most of its functions found in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon. The ability to manually reorder items and the Free Space were replaced by the ability to mark an item as favorite and sort a pocket so that favorites are at the top. While the five sections from Generation VI remain, the new sections from Generation VII were removed and four sections were added.

The '''Poké Balls''' and '''Battle Items''' Pockets last seen in the [[Generation IV]] games have returned. The '''Items''' Pocket has been renamed to the '''Other Items''' Pocket, with [[valuable item]]s split off to the new '''Treasures''' Pocket. A new '''Ingredients''' Pocket has also been added, which stores food used to make [[curry]].

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items.

In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the Bag is briefly unavailable from the [[menu]] at the start of the game; the player must pick it up from their room first before leaving their [[Player's house|home]].

{{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} retain all functionality from {{g|Sword and Shield}}, as well as all pockets with the exception of the Ingredients Pocket. The visual representation of the Bag itself returns from Generation IV, now changing to match the player's current Bag if changed through [[Trainer customization]].

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, with far fewer kinds of obtainable items, the bag is overhauled into being essentially a list of items displayed as a grid. At the top of the list are two pockets:  one that contain Everyday Items and other for Key Items.

====Generation IX====
In Generation IX, the Bag retained its functions found in Pokémon Sword and Shield. While the nine sections from {{g|Sword and Shield}} remain, a new section was added. The ability to manually reorder items was replaced by the ability to automatically sort items in four different ways:
* Sort by type (Sort by number in TMs)
* Sort by name
* Newest first
* Favorites first

The '''Ingredients''' Pocket has been renamed to the '''Picnic Items''' Pocket, which stores ingredients used to make [[sandwich]]es, sandwich picks and other picnic items. A new '''TM Materials''' Pocket has been added, which stores TM materials to craft [[TM]]s.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items. In the case of the [[Gimmighoul Coin]], the excess quantity of the item is sent to a man in [[Medali]].

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the Bag is briefly unavailable from the [[menu]] at the start of the game; the player must pick it up after [[Clavell]] enters their [[Player's house|home]].

==In the spin-off games==
{{incomplete|section|Console games (Colo/XD, Oak's lab in the Stadium series).}}
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], items are stored in the [[Toolbox]]. It has a capacity of 20.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], items are stored in the [[Treasure Bag]]. It initially has a capacity of 16, being expanded incrementally throughout the story, up to a capacity of 48.

===Pokémon GO===
[[File:GO Bag Upgrade.png|thumb|100px|The Bag in Pokémon GO]]
In {{g|GO}}, the player's Bag initially has a capacity of 350 [[List of items (GO)|items]]. Bag Upgrades can be purchased in the [[PokéCoin|Shop]] for {{PCoin}}200, which expand the capacity by 50 items per upgrade. The maximum upgradeable capacity is 6,800 items.

The player can hold more items than the Bag's capacity if they acquire multiple items at once that put them over the capacity, but if already over capacity, they will not be able to acquire more, such as from [[PokéStop]]s, [[Gift]]s, and Boxes available in the shop. If the player would start a {{OBP|Trainer Battle|GO}} with a full Bag, the game warns the player beforehand that they will not receive any rewards unless they make room. Rewards from {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}}s, [[Field Research|Field]] or [[Special Research]], [[Adventure Sync]], [[Trainer level|leveling up]], and promotional codes are not affected by the Bag's capacity.

Prior to an update on February 17, 2017, the Bag was also available on the encounter screen, so that it could be used to select the camera, Berries, and other Poké Balls; it has since been replaced by separate buttons for these items.

The maximum upgradeable capacity has increased over time.

===Pokémon Masters EX===
{{main|List of items (Masters)}}
In {{g|Masters EX}}, the bag is accessible from the Poryphone Menu and the [[training area]] menu. There are seven different sections, which are further divided into several categories based on item type.

==In the anime==
{{incomplete|section|Needs information and pictures of all of Ash's traveling companions' Bags}}
[[File:Johanna Dawn Bag.png|thumb|250px|Johanna giving Dawn a small backpack]]
All of the {{ashfr|main characters}} in the {{pkmn|anime}} own a Bag to store their supplies like a sleeping bag or tent, [[outfits]], and [[Poké Ball]]s. Generally, the main characters' Bags have little to do with their {{pkmn|games|game}} counterparts, with {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Serena}} taking a backpack rather than the actual Bags used by their game counterparts, and Ash's other companions having no Bags in the games.

Unlike other main characters, {{Ash}} carries his Poké Balls on his belt. Ash's Bag in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' is based on {{ga|Lucas}}'s, but colored green instead. During ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', {{AP|Rowlet}} tends to rest inside Ash's Bag.

{{an|Misty}} used her pull string style Bag to carry her Poké Balls, sleeping bag, [[Fishing Rod]], and a case full of [[Misty's special lure|lures]]. {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} also preferred to travel and sleep inside Misty's Bag. Misty's later appearances during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' show her owning a {{p|Spheal}} Bag.

The seemingly endless capacity of the characters' Bags can be only be described as the result of [[anime physics]]. By far, {{an|Brock}}'s Bag has been shown to be the most spacious, having a full tea-set and table inside in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', as well as containing, presumably, everything he needed to cook meals on the road for his friends. Brock also carried the group's medicinal supplies and maps while they traveled through the [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]s. His Bag was blue, with only the bedroll being removed during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''.

As a [[Pokémon Watcher]], {{Tracey}} carried around numerous sketchbooks, pencils, and a set of binoculars in his orange Bag.

Both of {{an|May}}'s Bags were based on the ones worn by {{ga|May|her game counterpart}} in [[Generation III]]. Throughout ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'', she wore a {{wp|fanny pack|ket Bag}} that stayed on her waist like a belt. It was used to hold her Poke Balls, [[Pokédex]], [[Contest Pass]], and [[Ribbon]]s. During her brief return from ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' to ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]'', May was shown to have two Bags, one a green ket Bag and the other a yellow Bag.

[[Max]] carried around a yellow Bag that held his [[PokéNav]].

It was shown in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'' that Dawn had planned to take a large suitcase full of various [[List of clothing (anime)|clothing and accessories]] with her. However, [[Johanna]] made her leave it at home and gave her a small Bag instead, containing only the items that she would need on her {{pkmn|journey}}.

{{an|Iris}} wore a pink Bag.

{{an|Cilan}} owned a brown Bag, and like Brock, he carried the group's supplies around.

{{an|Serena}} stored her belongings in a pink Bag. Her second Bag had a [[Heal Ball]] design on it.

{{an|Clemont}} stored many of his "[[Clemontic Gear]]" inventions inside his black and white Bag. His younger sister {{an|Bonnie}} wore a yellow satchel-style Bag around her shoulder, which {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} and later [[Squishy]] rest in.

{{an|Mallow}}'s schoolbag is based on the [[Forage Bag]].

Both of {{an|Lillie}}'s Bags were based on the ones worn by [[Lillie|her game counterpart]].

[[Goh]] has a brown and black Bag resembling a suitcase. As shown in ''[[JN010|A Test in Paradise!]]'', it has a high capacity to keep his [[Poké Ball]]s.

[[Roy]] has a grayish blue sack bag to hold his belongings.

[[Liko]] has a yellow crossbody bag and a black backpack.
