'''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. | '''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]].

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]]. | |||
