The '''menu''' is something used in the main series of the [[Pokémon games]] that allows the player to select what they wish to do. The menu's contents have changed through [[generations]], and also change depending on the player's progression through the game. In every game the menu is accessed by pressing the start button, except in [[Generation IV]] in which it is accessed by pressing the X button.

The menu commands and their functions are
*[[Pokédex]] - Displays the {{player}}'s Pokédex.
*Pokémon - Displays the player's current [[party]].
*Bag or Pack - Displays the player's bag and the items inside.
*[[PokéGear]] ([[Generation II]]) or [[PokéNav]] ([[Generation III]]) - Displays the PokéGear or PokéNav to provide players with a map of the region and names of previously fought trainers, among other features that differ between generations.
*Player's name - Displays the [[Trainer Card]] where the player can view their current money, play time, badges, and other features.
*Save - Saves the player's current progress.
*[[Options]] - Allows the player to change various in-game features.
*Exit - Closes the menu.
In [[Generation I]], the menu screen would be darker than usual if the menu was opened in a cave or other place that was very dark and {{m|Flash}} had not yet been used.


The menu in Generation IV has a different variation when the player enters [[The Underground]]. The background of it is black instead of white, and multiple new things may be selected such as "goods" and "go up".
