P★DA
A P☆DA (Pokémon Digital Assistant) is an electronic device owned by Wes in Pokémon Colosseum and by Michael in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, in lieu of a Pokédex. The P☆DA keeps track of a Trainer's ID No., their money, as well as their playing time. It also has other features, detailed below.
While only certain trainers can receive a Pokédex from a Pokémon Professor, it appears that just about anyone can own a P☆DA, at least in Orre.
The P☆DA in Pokémon Colosseum
In Pokémon Colosseum, the P☆DA can also be used to send and receive e-mail and keep track of the Trainer's PokéCoupons. It also has a ringtone that can be customized to the preferences of the user. Additionally, Wes' P☆DA was upgraded with the Snag List, a list of the Shadow Pokémon created by Cipher.
Another feachure of the P☆DA is the Strategy Memo, which is awarded to Wes by a teacher inside of the Pre Gym. It contains a list of all Pokémon encountered, giving the user their type, Ability, height, weight, and appearence. The only drawbacks are the unability to use in battle, and the fact that one must update regularly with the teacher who awarded Wes with the device.
The P☆DA in Pokémon XD
In Pokémon XD, the P☆DA has a new interface, along with a new feature. As in Colosseum, the device keeps track of PokéCoupons, has a Strategy Memo and e-mail, and can be upgraded to keep track of Shadow Pokémon. Its new feature is a Poké Spot Monitor, which alerts the player whenever there is activity by wild Pokémon at one of the three Poké Spots.
Unlike the P☆DA in Colosseum, this version has the Strategy Memo installed at the start, and updates it automatically.
