In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, there are 25 available apps, four of which are included with the Pokétch. The rest are not available at the start but can be received at a later time, and a few must be obtained by showing a certain species of Pokémon to another character. Listed in each section below is the [[Pokémon games|in-game]] description of its app, followed by its in-game location and further information about it. In {{v2|Platinum}}, the apps are ordered in the same order as they are on the Pokétch in Diamond and Pearl. | In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, there are 25 available apps, four of which are included with the Pokétch.

In | In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, the Pokétch now lies in the top-right hand corner of the screen, and can be magnified by tapping the R button. Pressing the R button again minimizes the screen to the top-right corner, while holding the R button for longer removes the Pokétch from the screen. A new Hidden Moves app replaces the function of [[HM]]s. | ||

The calculator can only display up to 10 characters in the number: For integers it can display up to 10 digits, but for non-integers it can only display up to 9 digits due to the decimal point occupying one of the displays. In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, if a calculation results in a number that would require more than 10 characters to display, decimal digits are truncated until the number fits in the display (with the truncated digits discarded from the actual number, not just the display); if there are more than 10 digits in the integer part of the calculated number, a sequence of question marks are displayed instead of the number. In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, decimal digits are truncated in the same way for the display, but the truncated digits remain in number itself and continue to be used in future calculations using that number. | The calculator can only display up to 10 characters in the number: For integers it can display up to 10 digits, but for non-integers it can only display up to 9 digits due to the decimal point occupying one of the displays.
