Pokétch

[edit] Description

Girls' Pokétch in Diamond and Pearl	Boys' and Girls' Pokétch in Pokémon Platinum

The Pokétch was introduced in Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl (Generation IV). "Pokétch" is short for "Pokémon Watch". It replaced its past versions (PokéGear and PokéNav), becoming an incredible device with 25 possible features. The Pokétch occupies the touch screen during most of the game.

To get the Pokétch, a man will come up to you in Jubilife City and ask you to look for three clowns, who will give you one ticket each. Find the clowns and go back and talk to the man. He will reveal that he is none other than the Pokétch's inventor, and he will then present to you your very own Pokétch. (If you are a boy, you will receive a blue Pokétch, but if you are a girl, you will receive a red Pokétch.) You start off with four applications, but as you progress through the game, you get even more.
