'''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. | ||
They 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]]. | |||

When Professor Oak told how the Pokédex can be used in battle, Gold asked for one. The Professor said that Pokédexes are meant for research purposes, and the ones he trusted the device were responsible young people who were willing to help others with their strengths, unlike Gold that only cares about his goal and would reduce it to a tool in battle. After much insistence, the Professor asked how Gold sees his Pokémon, to what the boy replied that they are his "partners". For the good answer, the Pokédex was given to him. During the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver|ninth chapter}}, Gold received an upgraded Pokédex. | When Professor Oak told how the Pokédex can be used in battle, Gold asked for one.

Gold's ability as a Pokédex holder was the last to be revealed. While he desperately wondered what was his specialty, the egg he was holding hatched given his {{pkmn|breeding|will to protect it}}. Due to his skill, he is defined as the '''Hatcher''' (Japanese: '''孵す者''' ''Hatcher''), known as '''Breeder''' in [[Chuang Yi]]'s translations. | Gold's ability as a Pokédex holder was the last to be revealed.

Emerald was recommended by the [[Trick Master]] to live in Earl Dervish's Pokémon academy, to overcome the bullying he suffered, which made him reluctant to interact with other children and with Pokémon. When Emerald arrived at the academy, he was impressed by Crystal's dedication for others, working hard to fulfill the Pokédex for Professor Oak to get repairs in the building and new clothes for the homeless children in return. He then decided to ask for a Pokédex so that he could also help others. In the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], Emerald called the Professor with a message saying that he wanted a Pokédex so that he could live together with Pokémon. Yet, Professor Oak registered Emerald as the owner of the Pokédex but didn't give it to him, saying that he lied about wanting to be with Pokémon, since Earl declared that he avoids any contact with them. Only when Emerald found his own path in relating with Pokémon, the Professor accepted to give him the Pokédex. He then had to head to Hoenn, where his Pokédex was with Professor Birch. | Emerald was recommended by the [[Trick Master]] to live in Earl Dervish's Pokémon academy, to overcome the bullying he suffered, which made him reluctant to interact with other children and with Pokémon.

As a member of nobelty, {{adv|Platinum|Lady Berlitz}} must meet the tradition of making an artifact from materials found on the peak of [[Mt. Coronet]], as the other heirs of her family.

'''{{adv|Diamond}}''' and '''{{adv|Pearl}}''' are childhood friends from [[Twinleaf Town]] that aim to become masters of comedy. They took part in a contest held by [[Jubilife TV]] that would reward the best stand-up comedians, but failed in their performance. However, they received a special prize for their peculiar humor, tickets for a travel. Before opening the envelope with the tickets, they bumped against Professor Rowan and his assistant (Lady Berlitz's father) in the middle of a crowd and ended up having their envelope exchanged with the one containing instructions for the Lady's bodyguards on their travel to Mt.

[[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 one of the Pokémon that escaped and started his adventure, leaving Cheren and Bianca behind with two broken Pokédexes. Currently, he is the only one with a working Pokédex. | [[Professor Juniper]] sent a package with three Pokédexes and three Pokémon to '''{{adv|Black}}''', '''{{adv|Cheren}}''' and '''{{adv|Bianca}}'''.
