In the [[Generation I]] games, they are known as '''ability enhancers''' (Japanese: '''{{j|のうりょくをあげるアイテム}}''' ''attribute-raising items''). Starting in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, they are known as '''nutritious drinks''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|栄養|えいよう}}ドリンク}}''' ''nutritious drinks'') but they also refer to them as '''stat enhancers''' in English; Japanese versions use both the Generation I descriptor and '''{{j|のうりょくをあげるどうぐ}}''' ''attribute-raising tools'' in addition to {{j|えいようドリンク}}.
From [[Generation III]] onward, they are known as '''nutritious drinks''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|栄養|えいよう}}ドリンク}}''' ''nutritious drinks''), also being referred to as '''Pokémon drinks''' in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. They are described as '''ability enhancers''' (Japanese: '''{{j|のうりょくをあげるアイテム}}''' ''attribute-raising items'') in [[Generation I]] and as '''stat enhancers''' (Japanese: '''{{j|のうりょくをあげるどうぐ}}''' ''attribute-raising tools'') in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. In the anime, they are referred to as '''Pokémon vitamin drinks'''.
