In [[Generation II]], the icon range became higher than in Generation I, although it still remained low. The screen was colored similarly to Pokémon Yellow, with all Pokemon icons sharing a common palette.

In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the party screen is changed again, showing the party Pokémon from left to right and top to bottom. All other things stay similar, with unique icons, but it adds condition to the summary pages. The party can also be viewed through the [[Pokétch]], to see either [[HP]] and items, or [[friendship]].

In {{g|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}, the party screen is essentially the same as in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, however, it is moved to the bottom screen. The Pokémon that leads the party [[Walking Pokémon|follows]] the player around, like {{ga|Red's Pikachu|the Pikachu from Pokémon Yellow}}.

In {{g|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}, the party screen is displayed in a more horizontal manner, with Pokémon organized in two rows of three, instead of two columns. Pokémon icons are no longer restricted to the same size, some of them (mostly those of fully evolved or Legendary Pokémon) were replaced with larger ones. The party screen now also allows direct access to [[Pokémon Storage System|boxes]].

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can only carry six {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} at a time just like in the {{pkmn|games}}. When a Trainer catches a new Pokémon while having a full party, the new Pokémon cannot be used until the Trainer switches it with a Pokémon currently in the party. In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', the Poké Ball of {{Ash}}'s newly-caught [[Ash's Kingler|Krabby]] teleported away, while in ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest!]]'', the Poké Ball in which Ash captured his brand-new [[Ash's Leavanny|Sewaddle]] simply shrank and locked itself with a red light until he had switched out one of his other Pokémon. In ''[[JN015|A Snow Day for Searching!]]'', however, [[Goh]] was seen immediately sending out his newly-caught {{TP|Goh|Cubone}} despite having six Pokémon on hand, suggesting that there are no strict party limits outside of {{pkmn|battle}} in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', similar to [[Pokémon GO]].

Unlike in the games, it is possible for Trainers to carry an {{pkmn|Egg}} while they have a full party of six Pokémon with them. This was seen in the [[original series]] when {{Ash}} traveled with {{AP|Larvitar}} while he had a full party already. (This might, however, have been because Larvitar was never ''officially'' Ash's Pokémon, as he never actually caught it in a Poké Ball.)

The concept of a full party of six Pokémon was brought up in ''[[PS402|Besting Buizel II]]'', where [[Crasher Wake]] told {{adv|Pearl}} that he should catch an additional two Pokémon to fill out his team of four before confronting [[Team Galactic]]. Pearl's full team was revealed by the end of [[PS403|the next round]].

* In the anime, only four main characters have ever held full teams of six Pokémon at any time: [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]], [[Misty (anime)|Misty]], [[Dawn (anime)|Dawn]], and [[Goh]].
