[[Image:HGSS_Pokédex_anime.png|thumb|right|{{Ash}}'s Pokédex and stylus]] | |||
When a young [[Sam|"Sammy"]] Oak was accidentally warped to a future of his own time, {{Ash}} explained to him how the Pokédex works, unknowingly giving him an idea. 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 aide or guide than a recording instrument. | |||
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. It may also be able give more information on individuals, such as [[level]] and learned [[move]]s. | |||

Much as in the anime, the Pokédex in Pokémon Adventures displays the known moves by an individual Pokémon, as well as its current health, but unlike in the show counterpart, the Dex Entries are usually taken directly from the games and as such contains readable text, cries, and area-tracking functions rather than vocal functions. The Pikachu interaction feature featured in {{game|Yellow}} was added to {{adv|Red}}'s Pokédex, allowing him to see its mood (though he never is seen making much use of it, as {{adv|Yellow}} was in possession of his Pokédex for most of the [[Yellow chapter (Adventures)|chapter]], and could tell [[Pika]]'s mood on her own anyway). The Pokédex's function takes over much of the control the games give to the player, being able to prevent a Pokémon's evolution, whereas Trainers without a Pokédex have no choice in the matter. As seen in ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]'', the Pokédex can discover where a Pokémon was first met by its Trainer, much as the Gen III-added feature allows one to view a Pokémon's origin. | Much as in the anime, the Pokédex in Pokémon Adventures displays the known moves by an individual Pokémon, as well as its current health, but unlike in the show counterpart, the Dex Entries are usually taken directly from the games and as such contains readable text, cries, and area-tracking functions rather than vocal functions.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu=== | |||
In the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Pokémon Trainers receive their Pokédexes when their application to become a Pokémon Trainer is accepted. A Pokédex contains information on a Pokémon's moves and abilities, as well as general information (such as how some Pokémon, like {{AP|Pikachu}}, dislike [[Poké Ball]]s) and the ability to tell if a Pokémon has critically low [[Stats#Hit points|HP]]. In addition, all Pokédexes contain a copy of the Trainer's licence. | |||
Updated versions of the Pokédex are released from time to time: in ''[[ET03|Clefairy Tale]]'', [[Professor Oak]] gives {{Ash}} a beta version of the latest model of the Pokédex. | |||

This listing is of cards mentioning or featuring the Pokédex in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. The Hoenn region's model did not receive a TCG card, and the Generation I and Generation II Pokédexes, which featured model numbers on the Japanese card, did not show these model numbers on the English card. Every card has allowed the player to look at a certain number of cards from the top of their deck and then either arranging them as they like, or in the case of Pokédex HANDY910is, choosing one to put in their hand. | This listing is of cards mentioning or featuring the Pokédex in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].
