The '''Pokétch Company''' (Japanese: '''ポケッチカンパニー''' ''Pokétch Company'') is a {{wp|Family business|family-owned company}} known for manufacturing the [[Pokétch]] and its applications. It is headquartered in the northwestern section of [[Jubilife City]], [[Sinnoh]]. The company's motto is: | |||

In contrast with the [[Silph Co.|Silph Company]] from [[Kanto]] and the [[Devon Corporation]] from [[Hoenn]], which have developed numerous [[item]]s for {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, the Pokétch Company is relatively small and actually started as a hobby of the owner, who made what he liked before the business grew to its present state. | |||
==In the games== | |||
The Pokétch Company headquarters has three floors and serves as residency for the [[Pokétch Co. President|president of the company]] and his family. When the {{player}} arrives in [[Jubilife City]], the president is conducting a promotional campaign in which {{pkmn|Trainer}}s may receive a [[Pokétch]] free of charge if three {{tc|Clown}}s with Pokémon trivia questions can be found around the city, and [[Coupon]]s collected from each of them by correctly answering said trivia questions. He will also give new Pokétch applications out to the player as they earn more [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s. | |||

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} visited the Pokétch Company headquarters in ''[[DP010|Not on MY Watch Ya Don't!]]'' shortly after arriving in [[Jubilife City]]. They headed there once they learned from [[Landis]], the son of the [[Pokétch Co. President]], that the [[Pokétch]]es they had obtained were {{wp|Counterfeit consumer goods|counterfeit products}}. During their visit, they were informed that the company was withdrawing its merchandise from local stores due to a distribution of fake Pokétches. They also learned that a new model capable of measuring the [[friendship]] between {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} was in the works. Eventually, the group discovered that {{TRT}} was behind the fake Pokétches as part of their latest scheme to steal Pokémon, and so {{an|Dawn}} and her {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} foiled their plans. | |||
It was revealed in ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!]]'' that the Pokétch Company is a sponsor of the [[Pokémon Dress-Up Contest]], a {{pkmn|cosplay}} competition organized by the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] and covered by the ''[[Sinnoh Now]]'' crew. The event is broadcast on [[television]] and, during commercial breaks, advertisements for the Pokétch are exhibited. | |||
While visiting the [[Snowpoint City]] {{pkmn|academy|Trainers' School}} in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'', the group met [[Jeremiah]], a sales representative for the Pokétch Company who decided to start his own {{pkmn|journey}} motivated by the enthusiasm of his customers. | |||
In this [[canon]], [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s are the company's {{wp|target market}}. Dawn and her [[rival]]s [[Zoey]] and {{si|Kenny}} own models of the Pokétch and [[Top Coordinator]] {{jo|Marina}} has appeared in a [[Magazines in the Pokémon world|magazine]] advertisement for the product. | |||

In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, the Pokétch Company appeared in ''[[PS390|Pokétchs and Campaigns]]''. {{adv|Diamond}} was taken there by the [[Pokétch Co. President]] to assist in a promotional campaign he was conducting and convince potential customers to buy a [[Pokétch]], despite the fact that Diamond knew very little about the device. | |||
