Pokémon Storage System

A Pokémon storage system allows Pokémon to be stored and transmitted as computer data, and allows Trainers to keep more than the six Pokémon allowed in the party. The first such system was originally developed by Bill. There have been at least five versions of the storage system seen in various games:

• Bill's storage system (Generations I and II) is a storage system used in both regions of Kanto and Johto. In both generations, Bill's system can store 20 Pokémon per box, while there are twelve boxes in Generation I and fourteen in Generation II. Generation II also adds the ability to rename the boxes for easier organization.
• Lanette's storage system (as seen in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire): an entirely new storage system, with a graphical user interface and the capacity to store up to 420 Pokémon in 14 30-Pokémon boxes.
• Bridgette's storage system (as seen in Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire): based on Lanette's storage system, but with greatly expanded capacity and an improved interface; it can hold up to 1500 Pokémon, and allows the user to move many Pokémon at once.
• Lanette's storage system (upgraded by Bill) (as seen in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen and Pokémon Emerald): adds the ability to manage held items directly from the PC and can move mass amounts of Pokémon at once like Bridgette's system.
• Bebe's Storage System (seen in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl). The same as Lanette's system, but the number of boxes has been increased from 14 to 18, for a maximum capacity of 540. It was created with help from Bill. It is possibly an upgraded version of Bill's modification of Lanette's system. In Pokémon Platinum, six more wallpaper designs were added, like the Retro (styled after Generation I/II's games).

Wallpaper

Beginning with the interface of Generation III, the background of each box can be decorated with one of sixteen different default wallpapers. In Pokémon Emerald, certain phrases will result in Wanda in Rustboro giving the player a special, customizable wallpaper design. In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, eight special wallpapers can be unlocked, also through using special phrases. Online generators have been created to supply players with these phrases.

Others involved

• Celio operates a system in the Sevii Islands which initially was separate from all others. With the help of Bill, he was able to link his system to mainland Kanto, allowing travelers from the nearby region, such as the player, to access their Pokémon. Eventually, with more help from the player, as well as the Ruby and Sapphire to boost the power, Celio was able to connect to the far-off Hoenn region.

In the anime

A system for transferring Pokémon electronically exists, and is utilized in all Pokémon Centers as well as the labs of all Pokémon professors. However, unlike in the games, Pokémon are not stored electronically, and in this continuity, the developer of the system was Dr. Akihabara. On one occasion, Jessie, James, and Meowth were able to invade this system in an attempt to steal Pokémon, but failed thanks to Ash and his friends.

It also seems that the Pokédex automatically connects to this system when a capture is made while there are 6 Pokémon in a user's party, as seen when Ash captures his Krabby.
