Item from Pokémon Adventures by Hidenori Kusaka & Satoshi Yamamoto
A multifunctional device used by Johto trainers — combines phone, map, and radio into one unit, essential for communication during the GSC arc.
The Pokégear is Johto's essential trainer tool, combining telecommunications with navigation and radio reception. During the GSC arc, the Pokégear's radio function becomes plot-critical when Team Rocket seizes the Goldenrod Radio Tower — trainers across Johto receive Team Rocket's propaganda through their Pokégear radio. Gold uses his Pokégear to coordinate with Crystal and track Silver.
A handheld device resembling an early smartphone, with a flip-open screen. Features a phone, map card reader, and radio tuner. Blue-green casing.
