[[File:Platinum menu.png|frame|{{v2|Platinum}}'s menu]] | |||
[[File:Platinum menu.png|frame| | 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 [[Saving|save file]]. The menu's entries differ throughout the various games. | ||
''' | |||
It was | In [[Generation I]], the menu is darker than usual if opened in a [[cave]] or other dark location in which {{m|Flash}} has not yet been used. | ||
==Access== | |||
===Generations I-III=== | |||
The menu is accessed from the '''START''' button of the [[Game Boy]]-line handheld. | |||
===Generation IV onwards=== | |||
The '''X''' button of the [[Nintendo DS]]-family or [[Nintendo 3DS]]-family handheld is used instead. | |||
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the menu is always open on the touchscreen. | |||
[[Generation V]] introduced a new feature to the menu: a shortcut list that can be accessed from the '''Y''' button. It is managed by (un)ticking the checkbox at the bottom of the [[party]] screen, [[Pokédex]], [[Bag]], {{ga|Trainer Card}}, or [[Options]]. | |||
==List of entries== | |||
===Pokémon=== | |||
{{main|Party}} | |||
This entry loads the player's party. | |||
It is called ''Pokémon'' (Japanese: ポケモン ''Pokémon'') in the menu. The shortcut list of the [[Generation V]] games instead calls it the '''Pokémon List''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンリスト''' ''Pokémon list''). | |||
===Pokédex=== | |||
{{main|Pokédex}} | |||
This entry loads the player's Pokédex. | |||
===Bag=== | |||
{{main|Bag}} | |||
This entry loads the player's Bag. | |||
Its name is ''Bag'' (Japanese: バッグ ''bag'') since [[Generation III]] but it was also called ''Item''{{sup/1|RBY}} (Japanese: どうぐ{{sup/1|RGBY}} ''tool'') and ''Pack''{{sup/2|GSC}} (Japanese: リュック{{sup/2|GSC}} ''pack'') in older games. | |||
===Devices and features=== | |||
This entry is reserved for the different game-exclusive devices and features that assist the player in his or her {{pkmn|journey}}. | |||
* [[Pokégear]]{{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/4|HGSS}} | |||
* [[PokéNav]]{{sup/3|RSE}} | |||
* [[Pokétch]]{{sup/4|DPPt}} | |||

In [[Generation II|Generations II]] and {{gen|III}}, these are part of the menu itself. Starting in [[Generation IV]], they are featured on the touchscreen of the [[Nintendo DS]]-family or [[Nintendo 3DS]]-family handheld. | |||
===Trainer Card=== | |||
{{main|Trainer Card (game)}} | |||
This entry displays the player's Trainer Card and its title is always replaced by his or her name. | |||
===Save=== | |||
{{main|Saving}} | |||
This entry loads the command used to create or overwrite the [[Saving|save file]]. | |||
===Options=== | |||
{{main|Options}} | |||
This entry opens a menu for managing settings that the player can modify to change some behaviors of the game. The available settings differ throughout the various games. | |||
===Exit=== | |||
This was the final entry in the menu up to {{game|Platinum}} and is also present in the menu of {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and later games, it was replaced by a graphical X button that can be tapped on to close the menu. | |||
As all games allow the menu to be closed by pressing the '''START''', '''X''', or '''B''' buttons, this function is somewhat redundant. | |||
