A '''Pokédex''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン{{tt|図鑑|ずかん}}''' ''illustrated Pokémon encyclopedia'') is an invaluable tool to a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in the [[Pokémon world]]. It gives information about all {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the world that are contained in its database. In the {{pkmn|games}}, it lists the number of Pokémon seen and {{pkmn2|caught}}. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, simply pointing it at a target Pokémon will give someone the Pokédex entry for that Pokémon. In both the anime and [[Pokémon Adventures]], the Pokédex also confers all the information shown by the interface in the games; that is, a Pokédex can display a Pokémon's [[stat]]s, [[level]], and [[move]]s. | A '''Pokédex''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン{{tt|図鑑|ずかん}}''' ''illustrated Pokémon encyclopedia'') is an invaluable tool to a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in the [[Pokémon world]].

The first version of the Pokédex, model number HANDY505, recorded data on the first 151 Pokémon, focusing on Pokémon mostly native to [[Kanto]]. It listed them in [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|number sequence]], and it recorded data on height, weight, number, [[species]], description, cry, and nesting area. However, in {{2v2|Red|Blue}}, Pokémon only found in [[Cerulean Cave]] and Pokémon found only by fishing would be listed as "Area Unknown". In {{game|Yellow}}, the option to print Pokédex entries using the [[Game Boy Printer]] was added. | The first version of the Pokédex, model number HANDY505, recorded data on the first 151 Pokémon, focusing on Pokémon mostly native to [[Kanto]].

In the anime, the Pokédex model's program is referred to as Dexter, as well as the programs for most models of the Pokédex. When {{an|Misty}} got {{TP|Misty|Togepi|Togetic}}, Professor Oak updated this model with new software that included data on a handful of [[Johto]] Pokémon, and its voice gets redone (via a different reverb effect). Its Japanese voice actor is 三木眞一郎 ''[[Shin'ichirō Miki]]'' and its English voice actor is [[Eric Stuart]]. It also has the ability to identify a Pokémon's moveset, as shown when it identified all of the known moves that Misty's Psyduck can learn in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Pokémon Showdown!]]''. | In the anime, the Pokédex model's program is referred to as Dexter, as well as the programs for most models of the Pokédex.

The second Pokédex, model HANDY808, had many improvements. Data on 251 species of Pokémon could be recorded. Pokémon could be listed in the Kanto (or National) order (referred to as the "Old Pokédex"), a [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|new order]] focusing on Johto (referred to as the "New Pokédex"), or [[List of Pokémon by name|alphabetically by name]]. It also included an [[Unown Dex]] that can be unlocked by catching three different forms of {{p|Unown}}. A new search option allowed users to find specific Pokémon by [[type]]. Entries were expanded to include a Pokémon's [[footprint]] (if it had feet). Additionally, Pokédex entries of caught Pokémon could be broadcast on the radio by way of the [[Pokédex Show]] on channel 4.5 in Johto in the mornings (a [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk|different show]] aired afternoons and evenings). Also, the design of this Pokédex is markedly similar to that of Nintendo's [[Game Boy]], Game Boy Pocket, and [[Game Boy Color]]. | The second Pokédex, model HANDY808, had many improvements.

The third Pokédex could record data on [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|202 species of Pokémon]] native to the [[Hoenn]] region. An upgrade called the [[National Pokédex]] was unlocked if a trade with [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Kanto]] was made in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, or if the [[Elite Four]] were defeated in {{v2|Emerald}}, which would allow 386 species to be recorded. Pokémon could also be listed by [[List of Pokémon by weight|weight]] and [[List of Pokémon by height|size]]. The search option was expanded to include the first letter of a name, as well as [[List of Pokémon by color|color]] of the Pokémon. The most interesting addition was size charts that compared {{player|a pre-teen child}} to individual Pokémon in terms of height. This allowed Trainers to get a better idea of how large individual Pokémon were, which often conflicted with depictions in the anime. The print option was removed, however, as no Game Boy Printer was made for the Game Boy Advance. | The third Pokédex could record data on [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|202 species of Pokémon]] native to the [[Hoenn]] region.

The fourth Pokédex, model HANDY909, could record data on 151 species of Pokémon native to the Kanto region. An upgrade called the National Pokédex was unlocked if the Elite Four were defeated and the player had caught 60 different Pokémon, which would allow 386 species to be recorded. In addition to the improvements made in the Hoenn version, Pokémon were all organized into [[List of Pokémon by habitat|habitat categories]], where similar Pokémon were typically listed together on the same pages (such as {{p|Jynx}} and {{p|Mr. Mime}}, for instance), and Pokémon who are [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|cross-generation evolutions]] are also displayed next to each other, such as {{p|Onix}} and {{p|Steelix}}.

The fifth Pokédex, model HANDY910is, can naturally record data on the 151 Pokémon native to [[Sinnoh]], with the National Pokédex upgrade allowing for the 493 Pokémon available to players of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} to be recorded. Strangely, some of the Pokémon first encountered in [[Generation IV]] were not initially in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex order]], such as the two new evolutions of {{p|Eevee}}.

The seventh Pokédex, like the fourth, has been given a redesign as the games return to an old region. While it is similar to the original Johto Pokédex when closed, there are many new features, such as a touch screen interface and a feature to list the separate locations of a Pokémon. In addition, the actual regional Pokédex numbers of the Pokémon are shown, instead of the National numbers when in regional mode. The listing also appears in a matrix style. This Pokédex can come in two colors: red for males and pink for females, though this is not reflected in-game as the main color is shown to be red. Unlike previous models of the Pokédex, it has no buttons, and contains a touch-screen and stylus. Due to what appears to be a camera on the back, it may be based on a [[Nintendo DSi]]. | The seventh Pokédex, like the fourth, has been given a redesign as the games return to an old region.
