'''Exit''' was the final selection in the [[menu]] accessed by pressing the Start button (or the X button in [[Generation IV]], though the options can be adjusted to allow Start to bring up the menu as well) in all handheld main series Pokémon games, as well as {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}. The Exit command was always the last selection to appear on the menu, regardless of the game. Due to its redundancy, it was removed in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and later games.

'''Exit''' (Japanese: '''とじる''' ''close'') was the final entry in the [[menu]] of the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}} up to {{game|Platinum}}, as well as of {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}.


==Functioning==
It was removed in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and later games due to its redundancy since the menu can be closed by pressing the '''START''', '''X''', or '''B''' buttons.
===Generations I-III===
When selected, quite simply, Exit closes the menu. However, this is a rather redundant command, because the menu can also be closed by pressing the Start button again, or B.
 
===Generation IV===
Exit has the same function in {{3v|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, and is portrayed as an reddish circular arrow.  The menu can also now be closed by pressing X instead of Start (however it is possible to allow the Start button to open and close the menu as well in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}).
 
In {{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the Exit is absent due to the menu being accessible via the touch screen at all times, like the [[Pokétch]] in {{3v|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. It doesn't appear either if the player opens the menu with the X button (to use the D-pad to navigate). If the player uses the X button to open the menu but uses the stylus to choose an action, the "X" button at the top of the menu panel serves as the Exit button.
 
===Generation V===
There is no distinct Exit button located in the menu of {{2v|Black|White}}, however one still exists. Players may tap the red X in the bottom right corner of the screen, or press X or B to exit the menu. This red X is found as a universal button throughout many menus of the game that, when pressed, immediately returns the player to the overworld.
 
==Trivia==
*The Exit command was the only command on the menu whose purpose can be served by a means other than actually selecting the command and pressing A. In other words, the Exit command was the only redundant command on the menu, hence its removal in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.
*The Exit command was one of the few commands to always be present on the menu from the very beginning of the game, along with Bag, the player's name, Save, and Options.

The Exit option at the bottom of the menu in Platinum

Exit (Japanese: とじる close) was the final entry in the menu of the core series games up to Pokémon Platinum, as well as of Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.

It was removed in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver and later games due to its redundancy since the menu can be closed by pressing the START, X, or B buttons.
