Originally limited to a select group of Pokémon, multilingual Pokédex entries are now accessible for every Pokémon in seven different languages.

===In Generation IV===
===Generation IV===
The Meister (Japanese: '''マイスター''' ''Meister'') is a character in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} who upgrades the player's [[Pokédex]] with the ability to store entries in foreign languages. He lives in a small house on an island on {{rt|226|Sinnoh}}. His sprite is the same as the {{tc|Hiker}} Trainer class.
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, a {{tc|Hiker}} in a small house on {{rt|226|Sinnoh}} named the Meister (Japanese: マイスター ''Meister'') will upgrade the player's [[Pokédex]] with the ability to store entries in foreign languages. If the player obtains an applicable Pokémon whose [[language of origin]] is different to their game's language, a Pokédex entry in its language of origin is registered for that Pokémon.


After he upgrades a player's Pokédex, he offers to trade the player a German {{p|Magikarp}} in exchange for a {{p|Finneon}}. This adds Magikarp's German entry to the player's Pokédex.  
After he upgrades a player's Pokédex, the Meister offers to trade the player a {{p|Magikarp}} in exchange for a {{p|Finneon}}. His Magikarp is German (except in the German games, in which it is Japanese), so performing this trade registers the German or Japanese Pokédex entry for Magikarp in the player's Pokédex.


In the {{pmin|Germany|German-language}} versions of the games, the Meister will trade an English Magikarp. His name in these games is English in origin: The Master.
Although the Korean Generation IV games are not compatible with other language Generation IV games, Pokémon with other languages of origin can still be migrated from [[Pal Park]] or obtained in in-game trades to unlock the corresponding Pokédex entries in a Korean game.

In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, fourteen Pokémon can have foreign Pokédex entries registered. The entries come from [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed or LeafGreen]].

In {{game|Platinum}}, Meister's upgrade instead allows the player to record foreign Pokédex entries for all 493 Pokémon. These entries are the ones used in that language's version of {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Diamond|s}}.

===In [[Generation V]]===
===Generation V===
In {{4v|Black|White}}, the foreign Pokédex entries are also the same as in Platinum, just like native entries. However, only non-[[Unova]] Pokémon receive foreign Pokédex entries. For Black and White this is likely because foreign entries and names of Unova Pokémon had not been finalized yet at the time of the Japanese release of Black and White. However it is unknown why they were not included for Black 2 and White 2 as foreign Pokédex entries for Unova Pokémon would have been available from international releases of Black and White. The player is now able to collect Korean entries.
In {{4v|Black|White}}, the player can register foreign Pokédex entries for the first 493 Pokémon (i.e. Pokémon from Generations I to IV). The entries used are from Pokémon Diamond. Western and Japanese games are now able to collect Korean entries—while the Generation IV games were released in Korean, they were not compatible with other language Generation IV games.
 
===Generation VI onward===
Due to all the copies of the game now including all languages in which the game is released, it is now possible to collect foreign Pokédex entries for all Pokémon. The Pokédex entries are from that language of the same game.
 
===Generation VII onward===
Due to the games now be available in Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese, there are now nine languages of foreign Pokédex entries that can be registered.


===[[Generation VI]] onward===
===Generation VIII===
Every Pokémon now has collectible foreign entries in all seven of the game's languages, due to the simultaneous international release.
In [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], foreign Pokédex entries are available as soon as the player obtain their Pokédex (unlike in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl). The Meister will attempt to upgrade the player's Pokédex, but comments that it has already been upgraded with the foreign Pokédex entry feature. Like in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the Meister offers to trade his German Magikarp (Japanese in the German version).


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* It is not possible to collect any foreign Pokédex entries of any [[Generation IV]] Pokémon in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} even though this feature of the [[Pokémon games]] debuted in those games. This may be due to the entries not having been translated into other languages yet. This is addressed in {{game|Platinum}}, where foreign Pokédex entries for all Pokémon are present, and are also present in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and {{game|Black and White|s}}.
* A [[Global Terminal|GTS]] event in 2007 involved foreign Pokémon, allowing players to trade an American {{p|Ponyta}} for a Japanese {{DL|List of GTS event Pokémon|Psyduck}} and a Japanese {{p|Roselia}} for an American {{DL|List of GTS event Pokémon|Heracross}}.
* A [[Global Terminal|GTS]] event in 2007 involved foreign Pokémon, allowing players to trade an American {{p|Ponyta}} for a Japanese {{DL|List of GTS event Pokémon|Psyduck}} and a Japanese {{p|Roselia}} for an American {{DL|List of GTS event Pokémon|Heracross}}.
* It is possible to become stranded on the Meister's island after trading with him. If the traded Finneon was the only member of the player's party that could learn {{m|Surf}}, and no Pokémon in the player's party have {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Fly}}, or {{m|Teleport}}, the only ways to leave would be by fainting in a fishing battle to return to the last Pokémon Center or by levelling up "Foppa" (by fishing for battles or using Rare Candies) until it evolves and can learn Surf as a Gyarados. As it is possible to progress through the game fully without picking up ''any'' [[fishing]] rods and to reach the island without having any Poké Balls or Rare Candies, players can become stranded on the island until they restart their game or use a [[cheating|cheat code]] to leave.
* The Meister's [[Trainer ID number]] is 53277.
* The Meister's [[Trainer ID number]] is 53277.
* It is possible that the reasons why any Pokémon traded from Korean language cartridges of the fourth generation games do not maintain their original names in their own languages once they are traded into the English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, or the Japanese versions is because none of these versions support any languages outside of the six given languages. This is also why they do not appear in the foreign language categories in the Pokédex. This was fixed in [[Generation V]].
* In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the Meister's speech contains a French grammatical error; the words "Je suis desolee" should be "Je suis désolé".
