A '''PC''' (Japanese: '''パソコン''' ''personal computer'') is a technology used in the [[Pokémon games]]. In the [[core series]], they are used from [[Generation]] {{gen|I}} to {{gen|VII}}, and in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}. They are found in every [[Pokémon Center]], as well as in most main characters' [[Player's house|bedroom]]s, in all [[Secret Base]]s in the form of a laptop, and sometimes in other buildings as well. Their primary purpose is for storing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and [[item]]s.

A '''PC''' (Japanese: '''パソコン''' ''personal computer'') is a technology used in all of the [[Version|main series]] [[Pokémon games]]. They are found in every [[Pokémon Center]], as well as in any main character's [[bedroom]], in all [[Secret Base]]s in the form of a laptop, and sometimes in other buildings as well. Their primary purpose is for storing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and [[item]]s.
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, they are replaced by [[Rotomi]].


==Networking==
==In the core series games==
PCs are shown to be networked throughout a region, requiring special systems in place to connect between regions, as is shown in the [[Sevii Islands]], where [[Celio]] and [[Bill]] work together on the [[Network Machine]] to allow Sevii PCs to be able to connect to [[Kanto]]'s computer network. However, the issue is not present in communication between Kanto and [[Johto]]; however, this network was set up entirely by Bill, and due to the compatibility, are in fact likely to be a single network. Also, despite not being in Kanto or Johto, the PC in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]] can still connect to the Kanto and Johto network.

===Features===
====Pokémon Storage System====
[[File:Bill PC HGSS.png|thumb|The main interface of Bill's PC in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}]]
{{main|Pokémon Storage System}}
Every [[Pokémon Trainer]] is allowed to access a Pokémon Storage System set up by either [[Bill]] in [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]], [[Lanette]] in [[Hoenn]], [[Bebe]] in [[Sinnoh]], [[Amanita]] in [[Unova]], [[Cassius]] in [[Kalos]], or [[Molayne]] in [[Alola]].
 
Until the player meets the regional PC developer, the Pokémon Storage System option will appear as "Someone's PC", while afterwards, it will appear as the developer's PC ("Bill's PC" and so on). The player can withdraw or deposit Pokémon in a number of Boxes, allowing them to own more Pokémon than just the six permitted in their [[party]]. When a Pokémon is {{pkmn2|caught}} but the player's party is full, the Pokémon will be sent directly to the last Box that was accessed on the PC; from Generation III onward, if this Box is full, the Pokémon will be placed in the next free Box; in Generations I and II, the Pokémon cannot be caught in the first place.
 
Starting with [[Generation VII]], the player has the option to switch out a Pokémon from the party and send it to the PC when a new Pokémon is obtained.
 
====Pokédex evaluation====
In almost all Pokémon games, the {{player}} can use a PC to have the [[Pokémon Professor]] of that game check the progress of the player's Pokédex. In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, as well as in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the professor that checks the progress of the Pokédex changes from [[Professor Rowan]] to [[Professor Oak]] upon obtaining the [[National Pokédex]]. However, in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the Pokégear serves this purpose instead. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], the [[Rotom Pokédex]] evaluates itself.
 
====Item Storage System====
[[File:Can'tStoreDeG_S.png|thumb|The player being unable to store the [[Devon Goods]] in the PC in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.]]
In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}}, {{gen|II}}, and {{gen|III}}, PCs have an '''Item Storage System''' (Japanese: '''どうぐのあずかりシステム''' ''tool storage system'') which the player can use to store items.
 
In these games, the player's [[Bag]] size is very limited, with the player being unable to obtain new items if their Bag is full. From [[Generation IV]] onward, the player's Bag has enough room for at least one stack of every type of item, so the Item Storage System no longer exists.
 
In the Generation I and II core series games, as well as {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, the Item Storage System can store 50 different types of items in their PC; in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, it can store 30 different types of items.


==PC functions==
There are some items that cannot be stored in the PC. In the Generation I and II core series games, the player can store any item in their PC. In Ruby and Sapphire, the player can store any item other than the [[Letter]], the [[Devon Goods]], the [[Red Orb]], or the [[Blue Orb]]. In FireRed and LeafGreen, the player can only store items from the Items Pocket. In Emerald, the player can store any item other than [[HM]]s and [[Key Item]]s.
===Pokémon Storage System===
[[File:Bill PC HGSS.png|thumb|right|The main interface of Bill's PC in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}]]
{{main|Pokémon Storage System}}
Every [[Pokémon Trainer]] is allowed to access a Pokémon Storage System set up by either [[Bill]] in [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]], [[Lanette]] in [[Hoenn]], [[Bebe]] in [[Sinnoh]], or [[Amanita]] in [[Unova]].


Until the player meets the regional PC developer, the Pokémon Storage System option will appear as "Someone's PC", while afterwards, it will appear as the developer's PC ("Bill's PC" and so on). The player can withdraw or deposit Pokémon in a number of Boxes, allowing them to own more Pokémon than just the six permitted in their [[party]]. When a Pokémon is {{pkmn2|caught}} but the player's party is full, the Pokémon will be sent directly to the last Box that was accessed on the PC; from Generation III onward, if this Box is full, the Pokémon will be placed in the next free Box; in Generations I and II, the Pokémon is simply deleted.
In the Generation {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}} games, the player starts the game with a [[Potion]] in their PC.


===Pokédex checking===
====Mailbox====
In almost all Pokémon games, the {{player}} can use a PC to have the [[Pokémon Professor]] of that game check the progress of the player's Pokédex. In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the professor that checks the progress of the Pokédex changes from [[Professor Rowan]] to [[Professor Oak]] upon obtaining the [[National Pokédex]]. However, in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the Pokégear serves this purpose instead.
From Generation II to V, if the player takes [[Mail]] from a Pokémon, they can choose to either place that piece of Mail in their Mailbox or in their Bag.


===Item storage system===
Placing Mail in the Mailbox preserves the message that was written on it, allowing the player to read it later, or even give it a Pokémon again.
In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}}, {{gen|II}}, and {{gen|III}}, due to not having unlimited Bag space as in Generation IV onward, [[item]] storage is done on the player's own personal computer, noted as "<{{player|player name}}>'s PC". The system is much simpler than the Pokémon Storage System as it does not have multiple Boxes for organizing items. Also, unlike the Pokémon Storage System, when an item is found but the [[Bag]] is full in the main series games, it will not automatically be sent to this part of the PC, and instead it cannot be picked up; this does occur in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{XD}}.


[[Mail]] that is taken from a Pokémon will also be stored in the PC in the mailbox, preserving the message.
====Ball Capsules====
In the [[Generation IV]] games and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the player can assign [[Seal]]s to Ball Capsules. In the Ball Capsules menu, players can design Ball Capsules, or assign or remove Ball Capsules from Pokémon in their [[party]]. When a Pokémon is sent into battle, any Seals on its Ball Capsule will be displayed briefly.


In [[Generation IV]], this function is no longer necessary since the Bag has nearly unlimited space for all items. Instead, the personal PC manages only [[Mail]], [[Seal]]s, and [[photography|photos]]{{sup/4|HGSS}}.
Pokémon with a Ball Capsule cannot be stored in the PC unless the Ball Capsule is removed.


In [[Generation V]], with the omission of Seals and photos from the games, the PC's only function is to store Mail.
====Photo Album====
In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the player can take [[Photography|photos]] in various locations. The player can view, reorder, and delete their photos from the '''Photo Album''' (Japanese: '''フォトアルバム''' ''Photo Album'') menu.


===Hall of Fame===
====Hall of Fame====
{{main|Hall of Fame}}
{{main|Hall of Fame}}
This function only becomes accessible after defeating the [[Elite Four]]. It shows up to 25 records of past victories over the Elite Four.
This function only becomes accessible after defeating the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}} of the respective region, showing up to 25 records of the player's past victories against them. This feature was removed in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]].
 
====Decorations====
In bedrooms and Secret Bases, the PC allows the player to manage [[decoration]]s in that room.
 
====Saving====
In {{g|Colosseum}}, PCs also function as [[Saving|save]] points. This feature was removed in {{Pokémon XD}}, which retains the "save anywhere" feature of the core series games.
 
===Networking===
In FireRed and LeafGreen, it is shown that PCs require special systems to connect between two distant locations, as shown when [[Celio]] and Bill had to work together on the {{DL|Pokémon Network Center|Network Machine}} to allow PCs in the [[Sevii Islands]] to be able to connect to mainland [[Kanto]]'s computer network, and later to be able to connect with Lanette in Hoenn, unlocking the ability to [[trade]] Pokémon with {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, as well as Colosseum and XD in [[Orre]].
 
===Glitches===
There are several [[glitch]]es associated with PCs in the Pokémon games.
 
*In the [[Generation I]] games, there is an [[List of glitches (Generation I)#Invisible PC|invisible PC]] in the hotel in [[Celadon City]], which appears very similar to a [[Pokémon Center]]. The invisible PC is located where the PC would be in a Pokémon Center.
*In the [[Generation I]] games, seeing certain [[glitch Pokémon]] such as [[MissingNo.]] will [[List of glitches (Generation I)#Hall of Fame glitch|corrupt]] the player's [[Hall of Fame]] records.
*Many [[cloning glitches]] are related to the PC.

====Card album====
The card album displays a list of the available {{TCG|booster pack|booster packs}}. If the player does not have a certain card, it is not shown. If the player does not have any cards from a booster pack, the booster pack itself is not shown.
 
Each booster pack screen contains a list of cards owned by the player, the number of cards owned and the maximum number of cards available. For instance, if the player has 45 cards from {{GB|1|Evolution}} (whose maximum number is 50 cards), the number displayed would be "45/50".
 
However, the [[Phantom Cards]] only count if the player has them; otherwise they are ignored.
* In {{vg|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}, there are 2 Phantom Cards available, so the maximum value displayed for {{GB|1|Promotional Card}} is between 18 (if the player doesn't have either) and 20 cards (if the player has both).
* In [[Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!]], there are 4 Phantom Cards available, so the maximum number displayed for {{GB|2|Promotion Card}} is between 45 and 49 cards.
 
====Read mail====
In the first game, contains Mail received from [[Dr. Mason]], which are accessible only from the PC. For a complete list and transcript of all 15 Mail, see [[Dr. Mason#Mail|here]].
 
In the second game, it is unavailable on the PC and replaced by the "See mailbox" option in the [[Minicom]].


===Decorations===
====Deck diagnosis====
In bedrooms and Secret Bases, the PC has a secondary purpose of managing [[Decoration|decorations]].
The deck diagnosis displays a list of various advice given by {{TCG GB|Dr. Mason}}. The player may use the "deck check" (Japanese: デッキチェック) option to see the number of cards of each type in a deck: {{TCG|Energy card|Energy cards}}, {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Basic Pokémon}} cards, {{TCG|Stage 1 Pokémon}} cards, {{TCG|Stage 2 Pokémon}} cards, and {{TCG|Trainer card|Trainer cards}}.


===Saving===
There is no official English name for "deck diagnosis" or "deck check"; these terms are fan translations from the Japanese game.
In {{g|Colosseum}}, PCs also function as save points. This feature was removed in {{Pokémon XD}}, which retains the "save anywhere" feature of every other main series game.
 
====Print====
The "print" option in both games allows the player to use the [[Game Boy Printer]] to print out copies of a single card, a list depicting one of their custom deck configurations, and a list of every card they own in the game. There is a "Print quality" configuration that may be set from 1 (light) to 5 (dark).

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the PC is not frequently used by {{pkmn|Trainer}}s as it is by {{player}}s in the {{pkmn|games}}, since most characters are shown to leave their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a person they trust rather than using the [[Pokémon Storage System]]. {{Ash}}, for instance, tends to keep {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his Pokémon}} at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], and {{an|May}} has left some of {{cat|May's Pokémon|her Pokémon}} under the care of her [[mother]], [[Caroline]], at the [[Petalburg Gym]].
The PC is not frequently used by {{pkmn|Trainer}}s in the {{pkmn|anime}}. {{an|Professor Oak}} tends to keep {{Ash}}'s extra Pokémon at his [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|laboratory]] until the {{series|Best Wishes}}, when [[Professor Juniper]] keeps Ash's [[Unova]]-native Pokémon at her laboratory.

This article is about the personal computers in the Pokémon world. For other uses, see PC (disambiguation).

Red using a PC

A PC (Japanese: パソコン personal computer) is a technology used in the Pokémon games. In the core series, they are used from Generation I to VII, and in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. They are found in every Pokémon Center, as well as in most main characters' bedrooms, in all Secret Bases in the form of a laptop, and sometimes in other buildings as well. Their primary purpose is for storing Pokémon and items.

In Pokémon Sword and Shield, they are replaced by Rotomi.

Features

Pokémon Storage System

The main interface of Bill's PC in HeartGold and SoulSilver
Main article: Pokémon Storage System

Every Pokémon Trainer is allowed to access a Pokémon Storage System set up by either Bill in Johto and Kanto, Lanette in Hoenn, Bebe in Sinnoh, Amanita in Unova, Cassius in Kalos, or Molayne in Alola.

Until the player meets the regional PC developer, the Pokémon Storage System option will appear as "Someone's PC", while afterwards, it will appear as the developer's PC ("Bill's PC" and so on). The player can withdraw or deposit Pokémon in a number of Boxes, allowing them to own more Pokémon than just the six permitted in their party. When a Pokémon is caught but the player's party is full, the Pokémon will be sent directly to the last Box that was accessed on the PC; from Generation III onward, if this Box is full, the Pokémon will be placed in the next free Box; in Generations I and II, the Pokémon cannot be caught in the first place.

Starting with Generation VII, the player has the option to switch out a Pokémon from the party and send it to the PC when a new Pokémon is obtained.

Pokédex evaluation

In almost all Pokémon games, the player can use a PC to have the Pokémon Professor of that game check the progress of the player's Pokédex. In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, as well as in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the professor that checks the progress of the Pokédex changes from Professor Rowan to Professor Oak upon obtaining the National Pokédex. However, in HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Pokégear serves this purpose instead. In Pokémon Sun and Moon, the Rotom Pokédex evaluates itself.

Item Storage System

The player being unable to store the Devon Goods in the PC in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.

In Generations I, II, and III, PCs have an Item Storage System (Japanese: どうぐのあずかりシステム tool storage system) which the player can use to store items.

In these games, the player's Bag size is very limited, with the player being unable to obtain new items if their Bag is full. From Generation IV onward, the player's Bag has enough room for at least one stack of every type of item, so the Item Storage System no longer exists.

In the Generation I and II core series games, as well as Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the Item Storage System can store 50 different types of items in their PC; in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, it can store 30 different types of items.

There are some items that cannot be stored in the PC. In the Generation I and II core series games, the player can store any item in their PC. In Ruby and Sapphire, the player can store any item other than the Letter, the Devon Goods, the Red Orb, or the Blue Orb. In FireRed and LeafGreen, the player can only store items from the Items Pocket. In Emerald, the player can store any item other than HMs and Key Items.

In the Generation I and III games, the player starts the game with a Potion in their PC.

Mailbox

From Generation II to V, if the player takes Mail from a Pokémon, they can choose to either place that piece of Mail in their Mailbox or in their Bag.

Placing Mail in the Mailbox preserves the message that was written on it, allowing the player to read it later, or even give it a Pokémon again.

Ball Capsules

In the Generation IV games and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the player can assign Seals to Ball Capsules. In the Ball Capsules menu, players can design Ball Capsules, or assign or remove Ball Capsules from Pokémon in their party. When a Pokémon is sent into battle, any Seals on its Ball Capsule will be displayed briefly.

Pokémon with a Ball Capsule cannot be stored in the PC unless the Ball Capsule is removed.

Photo Album

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the player can take photos in various locations. The player can view, reorder, and delete their photos from the Photo Album (Japanese: フォトアルバム Photo Album) menu.

Hall of Fame

Main article: Hall of Fame

This function only becomes accessible after defeating the Elite Four and Champion of the respective region, showing up to 25 records of the player's past victories against them. This feature was removed in Pokémon Sun and Moon.

Decorations

In bedrooms and Secret Bases, the PC allows the player to manage decorations in that room.

Saving

In Pokémon Colosseum, PCs also function as save points. This feature was removed in Pokémon XD, which retains the "save anywhere" feature of the core series games.

Networking

In FireRed and LeafGreen, it is shown that PCs require special systems to connect between two distant locations, as shown when Celio and Bill had to work together on the Network Machine to allow PCs in the Sevii Islands to be able to connect to mainland Kanto's computer network, and later to be able to connect with Lanette in Hoenn, unlocking the ability to trade Pokémon with Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, as well as Colosseum and XD in Orre.

Glitches

There are several glitches associated with PCs in the Pokémon games.

Main article: PC (Stadium)

The PC at the Pokémon Lab can be used to move items and Pokémon in Generation I and II core series games connected via Transfer Pak.

The PC features originated in Japanese Pokémon Stadium, but they were simply found in the main menu (not in a PC). All PC features can only be used with a game saved at the Pokémon Center.

In the spin-off games

Pokémon Trading Card Game series

The computer is available in various places, including the Mason Laboratory, the Pokémon Dome and all Clubs in Pokémon Trading Card Game and Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!.

In Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!, the Minicom is a related device, accessible from the menu.

GB1 GB2 English Japanese Notes

Card album

The card album displays a list of the available booster packs. If the player does not have a certain card, it is not shown. If the player does not have any cards from a booster pack, the booster pack itself is not shown.

Each booster pack screen contains a list of cards owned by the player, the number of cards owned and the maximum number of cards available. For instance, if the player has 45 cards from Evolution (whose maximum number is 50 cards), the number displayed would be "45/50".

However, the Phantom Cards only count if the player has them; otherwise they are ignored.

Read mail

In the first game, contains Mail received from Dr. Mason, which are accessible only from the PC. For a complete list and transcript of all 15 Mail, see here.

In the second game, it is unavailable on the PC and replaced by the "See mailbox" option in the Minicom.

Deck diagnosis

The deck diagnosis displays a list of various advice given by Dr. Mason. The player may use the "deck check" (Japanese: デッキチェック) option to see the number of cards of each type in a deck: Energy cards, Basic Pokémon cards, Stage 1 Pokémon cards, Stage 2 Pokémon cards, and Trainer cards.

There is no official English name for "deck diagnosis" or "deck check"; these terms are fan translations from the Japanese game.

Print

The "print" option in both games allows the player to use the Game Boy Printer to print out copies of a single card, a list depicting one of their custom deck configurations, and a list of every card they own in the game. There is a "Print quality" configuration that may be set from 1 (light) to 5 (dark).

In the anime

A PC in the original series

In the anime, the PC is not frequently used by Trainers as it is by players in the games, since most characters are shown to leave their Pokémon with a person they trust rather than using the Pokémon Storage System. Ash, for instance, tends to keep his Pokémon at Professor Oak's Laboratory, and May has left some of her Pokémon under the care of her mother, Caroline, at the Petalburg Gym.

PCs available for Trainers to use during the Lily of the Valley Conference

PCs are sometimes used for communication rather than by calling on a videophone. For example, in Beauty and the Breeder, Brock is shown using an email account on the PC to keep in contact with Suzie; in Charizard's Burning Ambitions, Brock asks Liza for her email address; and in Hi Ho Silver Wind, May mentions to her mother that she keeps in touch with her friends by e-mail, in addition to phone calls and letters.

In The Ultimate Test, the people taking the Pokémon League Admissions Exam had to answer true-or-false questions on a computer as a way to test their knowledge on Pokémon. In The Ties That Bind, Ash was shown using a PC to look up Gary's profile. In Rhapsody in Drew, James used his laptop to look up information on Robert and his Pokémon.

PCs were used more often in Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl. In A Stand-Up Sit-Down!, Zoey used her laptop to access the official Pokémon Contest website and show Dawn a video of a Double Performance delivered by Top Coordinator Marina. In Uncrushing Defeat!, Ash used the PC of a library inside the Lake Acuity Pokémon Center to search information on the Legendary Pokémon Uxie.

PCs were also used by Paul in Casting a Paul on Barry! to get information on Barry's Pokémon and vice-versa. It was also used by Ash in the same episode to look up info on Conway and Conway then used it to study Tobias. In addition, Nurse Joy and many officials for the Pokémon League are often shown using PCs.

In the anime, the PCs appear to run operating systems that are visually similar to Mac OS.

In the manga
