"The Pokédex, a portmanteau of "Pokémon" and "index," is an electronic encyclopedia used to record information about the types of Pokémon that a trainer encounters on their journey. In the original game, the player is given a prototype of the device by the researcher Professor Oak, who wants a comprehensive database of all the Kanto region's Pokémon."
Pokémon celebrates 30 years since its 1996 debut, revolutionizing video games and popular culture. While Pokémon games and their host consoles evolved from Game Boy to Nintendo Switch 2, fundamental gameplay elements persisted. Two core constants define the franchise: catching all regional Pokémon and recording them in the Pokédex. The Pokédex, a portmanteau combining Pokémon and index, functions as an electronic encyclopedia documenting information about encountered Pokémon species. Players receive this device from Professor Oak in the original game to build a comprehensive database of Kanto region Pokémon. For many players, the Game Boy or Game Boy Advance served as their first electronic device.
