The Pokédex is a device created by Professor Oak to give new Pokémon Trainers information about Pokémon.
History[]
In Pokémon 4Ever, Sammy Oak travelled to the future and met the future Ash Ketchum, who explained the Pokédex to him and gave young Oak the idea. 40 years later, Oak invented this device himself and it was programmed by Professor Westwood V. He later gave it to new Pokémon Trainers, including Ash himself and Professor Elm, Professor Birch, Professor Rowan and Professor Juniper soon created their own Pokédexes for new trainers.
