In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the PC is not frequently used by {{pkmn|Trainer}}s as it is by {{player}}s in the {{pkmn|games}}, since most characters are shown to leave their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a person they trust rather than using the [[Pokémon Storage System]]. {{Ash}}, for instance, tends to keep {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his Pokémon}} at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], and {{an|May}} has left some of {{cat|May's Pokémon|her Pokémon}} under the care of her [[mother]], [[Caroline]], at the [[Petalburg Gym]]. | |||

PCs are sometimes used for communication rather than by calling on a {{wp|videophone}}. For example, in ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'', {{an|Brock}} is shown using an {{wp|email}} account on the PC to keep in contact with [[Suzie]]; in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]'', Brock asks {{jo|Liza}} for her email address; and in ''[[AG121|Hi Ho Silver Wind]]'', {{an|May}} mentions to her mother that she keeps in touch with her friends by e-mail, in addition to phone calls and letters. | PCs are sometimes used for communication rather than by calling on a {{wp|videophone}}.

In ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'', Ash was shown using a PC to look up {{Gary}}'s profile. In ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]'', [[James]] used his laptop to look up information on {{ho|Robert}} and his Pokémon. | In ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', the people taking the [[Pokémon League Admissions Exam]] had to answer true or false questions on a computer as a way to test their knowledge on Pokémon.

PCs were used more often in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. In ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', [[Zoey]] used her laptop to access the official [[Pokémon Contest]] website and show {{an|Dawn}} a video of a [[Double Performance]] delivered by [[Top Coordinator]] {{jo|Marina}}. In ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'', {{Ash}} used the PC of a library inside the [[Lake Acuity]] [[Pokémon Center]] to search information on the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Uxie}}. | PCs were used more often in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}.
