'''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, which Professor Oak has dubbed each's "special skill". These Trainers all have [[starter Pokémon]] from their regional [[Pokémon Professor]]s (although [[Pika|the Pikachu]] Oak gave to {{adv|Yellow}} was {{adv|Red}}'s and she later caught [[Chuchu|her own]], though most already owned or trained Pokémon prior to receiving them.

The Pokédex holders have become a very tight knit group with many of them bonding with their cohorts in their regional adventures and later with their seniors and juniors. In the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} the holders from [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] grouped to fight the [[Masked Man]]. During the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, the Kanto Pokédex holders, plus {{adv|Silver}}, were turned to stone. Months later, they were revived by {{adv|Emerald}} in the [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Frontier]], where the 10 first Pokédex holders reunited against [[Guile Hideout]].

[[Professor Juniper]] sent a package with three Pokédexes and three Pokémon to '''{{adv|Black}}''', '''{{adv|Cheren}}''' and {{adv|Bianca}}. The box was supposed to be delivered at Black's house, but he was so eager to receive it that waited all night outside the Juniper Pokémon Lab. When the deliveryman gave the package to him, he opened it to choose his starter before Cheren and Bianca. But as it rained the day before, Black was drenched and sneezed on the box, releasing the three Pokémon and letting two of the Pokédexes fall on a pond. He went after [[Buoh|one of the Pokémon]] that escaped and started his adventure, leaving Cheren and Bianca behind with two broken Pokédexes. When Bianca's Pokédex was fixed, she gave it to '''{{adv|White}}'''.

During Black's journey, he ended up working for '''{{adv|White}}''', the president of the [[BW Agency]]. She managed Pokémon actors for movies but had never trained a single Pokémon before. Later on, White learned the qualifications of a Pokémon Trainer from the very beginning, such as catching, battling and evolving. When she already had a full team of six Pokémon, Bianca handed her Pokédex and White became a Pokédex holder.

Wally found Professor Birch's bag adrift in the sea during the flood caused by {{p|Kyogre}}'s rampage. Inside the bag was a Pokédex and a [[Emerald's Sceptile|Treecko]]. Wally temporarily used the Pokédex and the Pokémon when he was helping [[Norman]] to awaken {{p|Rayquaza}} in the [[Sky Pillar]]. After the cataclysmic battle between Kyogre and {{p|Groudon}} ceased, Wally sent the Pokédex back to Professor Birch, who gave it to its registered owner, Emerald.

Bianca and Cheren were the ones chosen by Professor Juniper to fill the Pokédex with data. A third person was needed and Cheren recommended his friend Black, who made their Pokédexes unusable. Even though, Cheren and Bianca left on their journeys, sometimes meeting with Black and/or White. When their Pokédexes were fixed, Bianca decided to give hers to White.
