==Networking==
==Networking==
PCs are networked throughout a region, but require special systems to connect between two faraway regions, as shown when [[Celio]] and [[Bill]] had to work together on the [[Pokémon Network Center#Network Machine|Network Machine]] to allow PCs in the [[Sevii Islands]] to be able to connect to [[Kanto]]'s computer network. While there was no communication issue shown to be present between Kanto and [[Johto]], it is likely that the two regions being adjacent allowed them to form a single network. However, the PC in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]] was shown to connect to the Kanto and Johto network despite not being in either region.

In almost all Pokémon games, the {{player}} can use a PC to have the [[Pokémon Professor]] of that game check the progress of the player's Pokédex. In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the professor that checks the progress of the Pokédex changes from [[Professor Rowan]] to [[Professor Oak]] upon obtaining the [[National Pokédex]]. However, in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the Pokégear serves this purpose instead.

===Item storage system===
===Item Storage System===
In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}}, {{gen|II}}, and {{gen|III}}, due to not having unlimited Bag space as in Generation IV onward, [[item]] storage is done on the player's own personal computer, noted as "<{{player|player name}}>'s PC". The system is much simpler than the Pokémon Storage System as it does not have multiple Boxes for organizing items. Also, unlike the Pokémon Storage System, when an item is found but the [[Bag]] is full in the main series games, it will not automatically be sent to this part of the PC, and instead it cannot be picked up; this does occur in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{XD}}.
In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}}, {{gen|II}}, and {{gen|III}}, due to the more limited space of the [[Bag]] when compared to [[Generation IV]] onwards, the player can use their own PC for accessing the '''Item Storage System''' (Japanese: '''どうぐのあずかりシステム''' ''tool storage system''). The system is much simpler than the [[Pokémon Storage System]] as it does not have multiple Boxes for organizing items. Also, unlike the Pokémon Storage System, when an item is found but the Bag is full in the [[core series]] games, it will not automatically be sent to this part of the PC, and instead it cannot be picked up; this does occur in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{XD}}.


[[Mail]] that is taken from a Pokémon will also be stored in the PC in the mailbox, preserving the message.

The amount of items that can be deposited is limited though. In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}}, {{gen|II}}, and {{gen|III}}, a player is only able to store 50 types of items in the PC.

In [[Generation IV]], the Item storage system is no longer necessary since the Bag has nearly unlimited space for all items. Instead, the personal PC manages only [[Mail]], [[Seal]]s, and [[photography|photos]]{{sup/4|HGSS}}.

In [[Generation V]], with the omission of Seals and photos from the games, the PC's only function is to store Mail.
