The Pokédex (Japanese: ポケモン図鑑 illustrated Pokémon encyclopedia) is a digital encyclopedia created by Professor Oak as an invaluable tool to Trainers in the Pokémon world. It gives information about all Pokémon in the world that are contained in its database, although it differs in how it acquires and presents information over the different media. However, they are also only given to a few Trainers at a time, generally to the ones that are felt to have exceptional potential and skill. Regional Pokédexes give information about Pokémon native to its particular region, while the National Pokédex records information about all known Pokémon.
Pokédex entries typically describe a Pokémon in only two or three sentences. They may give background information on the habitat or activities of a Pokémon in the wild or other information on the Pokémon's history or anatomy. Pokédex entries also include height, weight, cry, footprint (prior to Generation VI), location, other forms, and a picture of the Pokémon.
Sometimes the Pokédex might contain inaccurate or mythical information. For example, some of Tentacruel's entries describes it as having 80 tentacles when only 14 are visible.

The Pokédex is a handheld electronic encyclopedia device; one which is capable of recording and retaining information of the various Pokémon of the world. In order to accomplish Professor Oak's goal of a complete Pokémon database, the Pokédex is designed to find and record data on each Pokémon the Trainer meets. Pokémon are added to the Pokédex simply by encountering them in battle or, sometimes, by seeing a picture of the Pokémon.
The Suimin Pokédex
The Suimin Pokédex depends on the two following factors;
~ The one obtaining the Pokédex doesn't have a Rotom Phone
~ The one obtaining the Pokédex has a Rotom phone
If one does have a Rotom Phone, then the Pokédex will simply be downloaded into the phone itself. Those without a Rotom Phone or those that do not wish to have the Pokédex installed on it will instead be given a new Pokédex, which seems to borrow ideas from the Kalos Pokédex.
The Suimin Pokédex is card-shaped and has a holographic center that is visible when the two ends are separated. And this is where the similarities seem to end. The Suimin Pokédex can come in a variety of colors, depending on the owner's preference. It also seems to be able to act much as a Rotom Phone does, being able to send/recieve calls and access other sorts of information. The Pokédex itself also separates Pokémon into different categories, depending on the Region they were originally found in.
