The '''menu''' (Japanese: '''メニュー''' ''menu'') is the main interface in all of the [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]] that allows the player to access the game's basic features and aspects of their [[Saving|save file]], with the entries differing throughout the various games. It is accessed by pressing the '''START''' button of the [[Game Boy]]-line handheld in [[Generation I|Generations I]] to {{gen|III}} and by pressing the '''X''' button of the [[Nintendo DS]]-family or [[Nintendo 3DS]]-family handheld in [[Generation IV]] and later. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the menu is always open on the touchscreen.

[[Generation V]] sports a '''Ready button''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|便利|べんり}}ボタン''' ''handy button'') which is assigned to the '''Y''' button. It works as a shortcut for registered functions and [[item]]s and is managed by adding or removing check marks to the boxes at the bottom of the [[party]] screen, [[Pokédex]], [[Bag]], {{ga|Trainer Card}}, or [[Options]].

In [[Generation I]], the menu is darker than usual if opened in a [[cave]] or other dark location in which {{m|Flash}} has not yet been used.

As all games allow the menu to be closed by pressing the '''START''', '''X''', or '''B''' buttons, this function was somewhat redundant.
