'''Foreign Pokédex entries''' are a feature introduced in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the first Pokémon games to officially support trading between languages. Originally limited to a select group of Pokémon, multilingual Pokédex entries are now accessible for every Pokémon in nine different languages.


The '''Meister''' is a character in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} that upgrades the player's [[Pokédex]] with the ability to store entries in foreign languages for fourteen different Pokémon. He lives in a small house on {{rt|226}} in the middle of the water.

===Generation IV===
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.


The foreign Pokédex entry is in fact from the {{v|LeafGreen}} of the language in question.
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.

====Platinum====
In {{game|Platinum}}, the Meister's upgrade allows the player to record foreign Pokédex entries for all 493 Pokémon. These entries used are from {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond|s}} in that language.
 
====HeartGold and SoulSilver====
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the foreign Pokédex entries are the same as in Platinum. Unlike the previous games, the ability to collect foreign Pokédex entries is available from the start.
 
===Generation V===
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 VIII===
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==
*Wobbuffet is the only fully evolved Pokémon that is part of a multi-stage evolution line as of [[Generation IV]] that one can collect a foreign Pokédex entry for.
* 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}}.
*TCG-wise, all of the Pokémon listed here are [[basic Pokémon (TCG)|basic Pokémon]].
* The Meister's [[Trainer ID number]] is 53277.
*It is not possible to collect any foreign Pokédex entries of any [[Generation IV]] Pokémon even though, ironically, this feature of the [[Pokémon games]] debuted in Generation IV. This may be due to the entries not having been translated into other languages yet. [[Gender differences]] face a similar issue, though only with the [[starter Pokémon]] families of that generation versus those of the previous three.
* 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".

Foreign Pokédex entries are a feature introduced in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the first Pokémon games to officially support trading between languages. Originally limited to a select group of Pokémon, multilingual Pokédex entries are now accessible for every Pokémon in nine different languages.

Pokémon with foreign Pokédex entries

Generation IV

In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, a Hiker in a small house on Route 226 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, the Meister offers to trade the player a Magikarp in exchange for a 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.

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.

Pokémon Diamond and Pearl

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

HeartGold and SoulSilver

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the foreign Pokédex entries are the same as in Platinum. Unlike the previous games, the ability to collect foreign Pokédex entries is available from the start.

Generation V

In Black, White, Black 2, and White 2, 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 VIII

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).
