'''Pokédex holder''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン図鑑所有者''', ''illustrated Pokémon encyclopedia owner''), known as '''Pokédex owner''' in [[Chuang Yi]]'s translations, is the term used by {{adv|Professor Oak}} in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}} to describe a {{pkmn|Trainer}} that has been given a [[Pokédex]]. These Trainers are often very gifted in one particular area, dubbed each's "special skill title" to the ones who received a Pokédex from a Pokémon professor in each region. Most of these Trainers have [[starter Pokémon]] from their regional [[Pokémon Professor]]s, though most already owned or trained Pokémon prior to receiving them.

Red received his Pokédex from Professor Oak after an incident in which all the Pokémon from his [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Laboratory]] were released. One of the Pokémon that escaped was a [[Saur|Bulbasaur]] that was refusing to be caught and hid inside the [[Viridian Gym]]. When Red went inside the Gym, a {{p|Machoke}} attacked. Red realized that the few beams of sunlight coming from a window would allow Bulbasaur to use {{m|Solar Beam}}, which it successfully used after Red's order, to defeat the foe. Professor Oak watched what happened and, amazed by his battling skills, gave him the Bulbasaur and a Pokédex. During the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen|fifth chapter}}, Red, along with Green and Blue, received upgraded Pokédexes. His old Pokédex was the only one not destroyed, and was given to Yellow.

The first time Green went in Professor Oak's Laboratory was when she stole his [[Blasty|Squirtle]]. Later, at the Pokémon League semi-finals, Green had a battle against Dr. O, who used a team of bird Pokémon, knowing the ornithophobia she acquired after being kidnapped by {{p|Ho-Oh|a bird Pokémon}} at the age of five. After being defeated by him, his true identity was revealed to be Professor Oak himself, who already knew of her coming from the beginning and had let her steal his Pokémon since it was already intended to be hers. Then, he handed her her own Pokédex. During the fifth chapter, she, Red, and Blue received upgraded Pokédexes. However, her old one was destroyed along with Blue's.

Yellow showed up in Professor Oak's Lab after seeing a hurt [[Pika]] to find out Red's whereabouts. The Professor refused to let Yellow go with Pika and attacked with his {{p|Spearow}}. Yellow then ordered [[Dody]] to counter in such a way that neither Pokémon was hurt. Impressed by the connection with her Pokémon and their trust in Yellow, the Professor decided that he should also trust Yellow and gives her Red's Pokédex to deliver to him. By the end of the fifth chapter, Red, Blue and Green had received upgraded Pokédexes. Since Blue's and Green's were destroyed by {{adv|Deoxys}}, Red's Pokédex was the only one still working; Red gave this Pokédex to Yellow while she was unconscious, officially making her a Pokédex holder.

When Professor Oak told how the Pokédex can be used in battle, Gold asked for one. The Professor said that Pokédexes are meant for research purposes, and the ones he trusted the device were responsible young people who were willing to help others with their strengths, unlike Gold that only cares about his goal and would reduce it to a tool in battle. After much insistence, the Professor asked how Gold sees his Pokémon, to what the boy replied that they are his "partners". For the good answer, the Pokédex was given to him. Prior to the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver|ninth chapter}}, Gold received an upgraded Pokédex.

Diamond and Pearl are childhood friends from [[Twinleaf Town]] that aim to become masters of comedy. They took part in a contest held by [[Jubilife TV]] that would reward the best stand-up comedians, but failed in their performance. However, they received a special prize for their peculiar humor, tickets for a travel. Before opening the envelope with the tickets, they bumped against Professor Rowan and his assistant (Lady Berlitz's father) in the middle of a crowd and ended up having their envelope exchanged with the one containing instructions for the Lady's bodyguards on their travel to Mt. Coronet. Arriving at the meeting point, they assumed she was a tour guide for their trip, while she thought they were her bodyguards, giving each a Pokémon, a Pokétch and a Pokédex. The trio traveled around [[Sinnoh]] until the misunderstanding was clarified, when she decided to reveal her first name, Platinum.

He went after [[Bo|one of the Pokémon]] that escaped and started his adventure, leaving Cheren and Bianca behind with two broken Pokédexes.
