The '''menu''' (Japanese: '''メニュー''' ''menu'') is the main interface in all of the [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]] that allows the player to access the game's basic features and aspects of their [[Save|save file]], with the entries differing throughout the various games. It is accessed by pressing the '''START''' button of the [[Game Boy]]-line handheld in [[Generation I|Generations I]] to {{gen|III}} and by pressing the '''X''' button of the [[Nintendo DS]]-family or [[Nintendo 3DS]]-family handheld in [[Generation IV]] and later. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the menu is always open on the touchscreen.
