The menu (Japanese: メニュー menu) is the main interface in all of the core series Pokémon games that allows the player to access the game's basic features and aspects of their save file, with the entries differing throughout the various games. It is accessed by pressing the START button of the Game Boy-line handheld in Generations I to III and by pressing the X button of the Nintendo DS-family or Nintendo 3DS-family handheld in Generation IV and later. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the menu is always open on the touchscreen.
Generation V introduced a new feature to the menu: a shortcut list that can be accessed from the Y button. It is managed by (un)ticking the checkbox at the bottom of the party screen, Pokédex, Bag, Trainer Card, or Options.
In Generation I, the menu is darker than usual if opened in a cave or other dark location in which Flash has not yet been used.
List of entries
| Entry | Notes |
|---|---|
| Pokémon | Used to be the second entry prior to Generation V. It is called "Pokémon" in the menu but "Pokémon List" in the shortcut list. |
| Pokédex | Used to be the first entry prior to Generation V. |
| Bag | Called Item in Generation I and Pack in Generation II. |
| (App) | This entry is reserved for the different game-exclusive devices and features that assist the player in his or her journey: PokégearGSCHGSS, PokéNavRSE, PokétchDPPt, C-GearBWB2W2, Player Search SystemXY, Pokémon-AmieXY, Super TrainingXY, PokéNav PlusORAS.
In Generations II and III, these are part of the menu itself. Starting in Generation IV, they are featured on the touchscreen. |
| Trainer Card | It always shows the player's name. |
| Save | |
| Options | |
| Exit | This was the final entry in the menu up to Pokémon Platinum and is also present in the menu of Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver and later games, it was replaced by a graphical X button that can be tapped on to close the menu.
As all games allow the menu to be closed by pressing the START, X, or B buttons, this function is somewhat redundant. |
