In non-Japanese releases of Gold, Silver, and Crystal and non-Korean releases of Gold and Silver, the player's [[Mom|mother]] will set {{wp|daylight saving time}} accordingly, except if it's between 11:00 PM and 12:59 AM in-game, in which the game prevents this due to the day of the week changing. When this occurs, she will claim that she lost the instruction booklet for the Pokégear, although not during the initial setup process.

The phone can also store numbers of other important people, like the player's [[mom]] or [[Professor Elm]]. Mom will also ring every so often, telling the {{player}} about the money she has saved (if opted for by the player) and occasionally spending that money on decorations for the player's [[bedroom]] or items such as {{DL|Potion|Super Potion}}s for the player. In Generation II, the phone function has a memory bank that can store the numbers for up to ten people.

After acquiring a Radio Card from a quiz host at the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], the Radio function of the Pokégear can now be used. It allows the player to tune in to the various radio stations being broadcast from the two Radio Towers in [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Goldenrod (Johto)]] and [[Lavender Town#Kanto Radio Tower|Lavender (Kanto)]]. When traveling to Kanto, however, the '''EXPN Card''' (Japanese: '''かくちょうカード''' ''expansion card'') must be obtained from the manager of the Kanto Radio Tower before all Kanto stations can be played in {{v|Crystal}}, and the Poké Flute station can be played in {{game3|Gold and Silver|Gold, Silver,|s}} {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold, and SoulSilver|s}} versions.

| When the player is at the [[Ruins of Alph]], strange noises will play and there will be no reception from other stations. It also increases the chance of encountering an {{p|Unown}} [[Form differences#Unown|shape]] the player has not yet encountered. Sounds similar to the [[Azure Flute]]. <br>'''Tuning instructions:''' somewhere in the center.

* {{mov|Lisa}} lent hers to Ash so that he could keep in contact with Professor Oak in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]''.

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}}, [[Ultima]], [[Mr. Briney]], [[Misty]], [[Erika]], [[Norman]], [[Juan]], [[Scott]], [[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.
