PokéGear are a type of gadget found in Johto. They look like large, advanced, wristwatches.

The main character of Pokémon Silver, Pokémon Gold, and Pokémon Crytal recieves a PokéGear from their mother at the start of their journey. It has several functions:

Time

The PokéGear displays the day of the week and the time.

Map

The PokéGear displays a map of Johto and later Kanto.

Phone

The PokéGear will function like a cellphone, allowing the user to make calls to people that they've traded phone numbers with. This allows the player to talk to other characters and learn informaton from them, such as battling tips or when rare Pokémon appear.

Radio

The PokéGear functions as a radio. This allows the player to get tips from Professor Oak and DJ Mary on Oak's Pokémon Talk, affect how active wild Pokémon are by playing Pokémon March or Pokémon Lullabye on the Pokémon Muisc station, or find listen to the Lucky Channel to keep track of the Radio Tower's lottery promotion.

These functions must be unlocked by aquiring special expansion card throughout the game.

The Hoenn analog to the PokéGear appears to be the PokéNav.
