'''Pokédex holder''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン図鑑所有者''', ''illustrated Pokémon encyclopedia owner''), known as '''Pokédex owner''' in [[Chuang Yi]]'s translations, is the term used by {{adv|Professor Oak}} in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}} to describe a {{pkmn|Trainer}} that has been given a [[Pokédex]]. These Trainers are often very gifted in one particular area, dubbed each's "special skill title" to the ones who received a Pokédex from a Pokémon professor in each region. Most of these Trainers have [[starter Pokémon]] from their regional [[Pokémon Professor]]s, though most already owned or trained Pokémon prior to receiving them.

The Pokédex holders have become a very tight knit group with many of them bonding with their cohorts in their regional adventures and later with their seniors and juniors. In the {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} the holders from [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] grouped to fight the [[Masked Man]]. During the {{MangaArc|Emerald}}, the 10 first Pokédex holders united at the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} to fight against [[Guile Hideout]].

[[Professor Juniper]] sent a package with three Pokédexes and three Pokémon to Black, {{adv|Cheren}} and {{adv|Bianca}}. The box was supposed to be delivered at Black's house, but he was so eager to receive it that waited all night outside the Juniper Pokémon Lab. When the deliveryman gave the package to him, he opened it to choose his starter before his friends. But as it rained the day before, Black was drenched and sneezed on the box, releasing the three Pokémon and letting two of the Pokédexes fall on a pond. He went after [[Bo|one of the Pokémon]] that escaped and started his adventure, leaving Cheren and Bianca behind with two broken Pokédexes.
