In [[Generation I]]'s Pokédex (model HANDY505), the entries are simple and each individual section can be accessed directly from the listing. The first, and main option—"Data"—includes an image of the Pokémon, its number, name, [[species]], height, weight, and a short blurb. The second option—"[[Cry]]"—does not open a new screen; selecting it simply plays the Pokémon's cry. The last option—"Area"—displays the [[map]], along with flashing indicators at each location where the selected Pokémon can be found; in cases where the Pokémon is not available in the {{pkmn2|wild}}, is only available [[Legendary Pokémon|once]], or can only be found by [[fishing]] or in [[Cerulean Cave]], the message "Area Unknown" will be displayed over the center of the map instead. {{game|Yellow}} allows players to print entries using the [[Game Boy Printer]]. | In [[Generation I]]'s Pokédex (model HANDY505), the entries are simple and each individual section can be accessed directly from the listing.

In these games, entries that would normally display "Area Unknown" on the map simply display an unmarked map. | In these games, entries that would normally display "Area Unknown" on the map simply display an unmarked map. | ||

{{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}'s Pokédex (model HANDY909) displays entries in a much different format from Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. It was the first Pokédex to actually display a Pokémon's type in its entry, as well as its menu sprite. However, the Cry visuals were removed. Entries for Kanto Pokémon were taken from Red/Green for FireRed and Red/Blue for LeafGreen. Johto Pokémon entries were taken from Silver for FireRed and Gold for LeafGreen. Additionally, in the international versions, it is the first Pokédex to show long Pokédex entries in full, instead of splitting them into two pages. This was carried over to later games, including Emerald. | {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}'s Pokédex (model HANDY909) displays entries in a much different format from Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald.

{{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} changed the formatting again, now displaying the list on the lower screen and the actual entry on the top screen. Cry's page was again removed. By selecting "view details", players can view Area, Size and Forms. Area no longer defaults to the current time or differentiated for Honey due to it no longer being a mechanic, Size now utilized both screens to display both Height and Weight at the same time, and Forms added a Compare option to see different forms side by side instead of having to scroll between them. Entries for Johto and Kanto Pokémon were taken from Gold for HeartGold and Silver for SoulSilver. Players can collect foreign Pokédex entries without the need to update their Pokédex. Also, while artwork shows a pink Pokédex for females, the in-game interface does not reflect this. | {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} changed the formatting again, now displaying the list on the lower screen and the actual entry on the top screen.
