The second Pokédex, model HANDY808, had many improvements. Data on 251 species of Pokémon could be recorded. Pokémon could be listed in the Kanto (or National) order (referred to as the "Old Pokédex"), a [[List of Pokémon by Johto Dex number|new order]] focusing on Johto [i](refered to as the "New Pokédex"), or [[List of Pokémon by name|alphabetically by name]]. It also included an [[Unown Dex]] that can be unlocked by capturing three different forms of {{p|Unown}}. A new search option allowed users to find specific Pokémon by [[type]]. Entries were expanded to include a Pokémon's [[footprint]] (if it had feet). Also, the design of this Pokédex is markedly similar to that of Nintendo's [[Game Boy]], Game Boy Pocket, and [[Game Boy Color]].

The seventh Pokédex, like the fourth, has been given a redesign as the games return to an old region. While it is similar to the original Johto Pokédex when closed, there are many new features, such as a touch screen interface. In addition, the actual regional Pokédex numbers of the Pokémon are shown, instead of the National numbers when in regional mode. This Pokédex can come in two colors: red for males, and pink for females. Following the tradition for Pokédexes being based on recent hand-held Nintendo game consoles in real life, this Pokédex resembles the [[Nintendo DSi]].
The seventh Pokédex, like the fourth, returns to an old region for a redesign, though retains a similar outer appearance to its original incarnation when closed. Unlike the original, however, this iteration features a touch screen interface. Also unlike the older model, this shows the actual regional Pokédex numbers of the Pokémon rather than the National ones when in regional mode. In addition, similar to the [[Pokétch]], there are two palettes: red and pink.
The tradition for Pokédexes to be based on real-life hand-held Nintendo consoles that the games are played on has continued for the Gen IV Johto Pokédex, to a smaller degree (probably to make sure it remained recognisable as looking like the original Gen II Johto Pokédex). It is simply a slimmed down version of the original Johto Pokédex, with less buttons and larger screens, but when closed, appearing almost the same. (A nod to the Nintendo DSi and the changes made between itself and the Nintendo DSLite.)


For the regional Pokédex list, which is the same as the previous design used for Johto, see [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number]].
