In ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]'' it was mentioned that the Pokédex entries were written by [[Professor Westwood V]] of the [[Seafoam Islands]]. Unlike the games, entries in the anime are pre-programmed into the database and do not require catching to give full information. In this way, they act more as a true encyclopedia than a data recording device. However, it should be noted that information relayed to the user may vary from time to time. This may happen even if the Pokédex remains unchanged in any way. | In ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]'' it was mentioned that the Pokédex entries were written by [[Professor Westwood V]] of the [[Seafoam Islands]].

To look up information on a particular species, Trainers may simply point the Pokédex at an individual or manually enter it in. The Pokédex will then display a picture and read the entry out loud. In the {{series|Diamond and Pearl}}, it was revealed that it can identify the Pokémon's [[level]] and learned [[move]]s, even for wild Pokémon. Apparently, a picture or video recording of sufficient quality can also be scanned for information. | To look up information on a particular species, Trainers may simply point the Pokédex at an individual or manually enter it in.

Attempting to identify a Pokémon not native to the region the Pokédex was designed for yields the message "no data" and a question mark in the display, as seen in ''[[BW134|The Journalist from Another Region]]'' when Ash scanned [[Kalos]] natives {{p|Helioptile}} and {{p|Gogoat}} with a [[Unova]] Pokédex. | ||
In [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Unova]], the Pokédex has a male voice, while in [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Kalos]] it has a female voice. | In [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Unova]], the Pokédex has a male voice, while in [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Kalos]] it has a female voice. | ||
