The Bag (Japanese: バッグ bag), referred to on the menu as Item (Japanese: どうぐ tool) in Generation I and Pack (Japanese: リュック ruck) in Generation II, is a vital tool in all core series Pokémon games. It holds all of the player's items, storing them for later use. By opening the Bag, players can use, arrange, and toss most items, and register Key Items for easy access.

In the Help System of the Generation V games, it is called the Bag function (Japanese: バッグの機(き)能(のう) bag function).

In the core series

Overview

Outside of battle

The Bag menu in Pokémon Sword and Shield

The Bag appears as part of the start menu in all core series games, as well as in Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.

All items that the player has on hand will be located in the Bag and, after Generation I, being placed in the appropriate pocket automatically. Prior to Generation IV, the items pocket had limited spaces for items, while the other pockets had space for any and all items that would go there. The limit is 20 up through Ruby and Sapphire, 30 in Emerald, and 42 in FireRed and LeafGreen. If an item to be picked up would be placed into the items pocket, however, and the pocket was full, it could not be picked up until the player had deposited some items into the PC. This problem no longer exists in Generation IV and beyond, where all pockets have enough space for every item.

Inside of the Bag menu, the player will find a list of all their items, ordered by default from the first kind obtained to the most recently obtained. Players may rearrange these items with the select button, except in the Berries and TMs and HMs pockets, which are automatically ordered. Depending on the type of item, and sometimes on the item itself, options exist when it is selected that allow players to use the item, throw the item away, register it to the Select/Y button for use on the field, or have a Pokémon hold it.

In Generation II-III, if the bag is full, the message will state that the player found an item, but the next message will state that the bag is full. In Generation I, if the bag is full and the player finds an item, it will immediately state that the bag is full.

In battle

Bag menu during a Pokémon battle in Generation VII.

The Bag is also one of the four menu selections during a Pokémon battle, and allows the player to use items that can be used in battle, such as Poké Balls, Potions, and items like X Attack. Prior to Generation IV, the Bag menu during battle was the same as that outside of battle, allowing inventory checking of items that are unrelated to battle during it. In Generation IV, however, it became a completely different menu on the touch screen, split into four categories of use:

• HP/PP Restore
• Status Restore
• Poké Balls
• Battle Items

Using an item while in battle uses up a turn. Prior to Generation VII, this only occurs if the item that the player tries to use has an effect during the battle (for example, attempting to use an Hyper Potion on the Pokémon while its HP is full will result in the "It won't have any effect" message). In Generation VII, attempting to use an item that would have no effect takes a turn, but does not consume the item. Items cannot be used in linked battles or in facilities such as the Battle Tower.

The item that was last used during battle, if there were multiple copies of it in the Bag, can be easily used again. The selection cursor will remain on it in Generation I-III and VII games, while a shortcut menu will exist at the lower left corner of the screen to the last used item in Generation IV-VI.

Differences between generations

While the Bag has remained a consistent part of the menu screen for all generations, significant changes have been made to its structure in each succeeding generation, with most welcomed as improvements.

Generation I

In Generation I, the Bag is a list of up to 20 different kinds of items, with no separation into different pockets. The player cannot obtain new items if they do not have room in their Bag. The player can hold up to 99 of each item; if obtaining an item would result in the player having more than 99 of a single item, the excess items are placed in a new stack if the player has room for another item stack in their Bag (otherwise they cannot be obtained). (Some glitches, such as MissingNo.'s item duplication glitch, allow the player to hold up to 255 items in a single Bag slot.)

Due to the limited space in their Bag, additional items can be stored in the PC's Item Storage System. However, if the player's Bag is full, they cannot pick up new items, even if they have room in their Item Storage System, as the player can only move items between their Bag and Item Storage System by using a PC.

Despite the lack of pockets, there is still a distinction between Key Items and other items. Key Items have no quantity displayed next to them (since the player can only ever have one instance of each Key Item at a time) and cannot be sold or tossed.

Generation II

In Generation II, the Bag is now split into four different pockets. There are three specialized pockets for specific types of items, as well as the items pocket for all other items. While the specialized pockets now are each large enough to hold all items of their type, the items pocket still has a size limit, so additional items can be stored in the PC's Item Storage System.

Each pocket can hold up to 20 different types of item, except the TM and HM pocket which can hold all 50 TMs and 7 HMs. The player cannot obtain more items if their Bag is full, even if there is room in their PC's Item Storage System.

The player can hold up to 99 of each item.

Starting in Generation II, each item has a description, which provides the player information about its function.

Items どうぐ	Balls ボール	Key Items たいせつ	TM/HM わざマシン
Contains all items not in other pockets.	Contains all Poké Balls.	Contains all Key Items.	Contains all TMs and HMs.

Generation III

This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. Reason: Colosseum and XD details

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald and Pokémon Colosseum and XD, there is one more pocket than in Generation II, the Berries pocket. In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, there are three pockets, with the Berries and TMs & HMs pockets being replaced by the Key Items the Berry Pouch and TM Case respectively. While the specialized pockets are each large enough to hold all items of their type, the items pocket still has a size limit, so additional items can be stored in the PC's Item Storage System.

The items pocket can hold up to 30 different items in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald (42 in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen). In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, and LeafGreen, the player cannot obtain more items if their Bag is full, even if there is room in their PC's Item Storage System. In Pokémon Colosseum and XD, if the player would obtain an item while their Bag is full, it will be sent to their PC instead.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items. The Key Items pocket does not display the item quantity, because the player is unable to find more than one of each Key Item in normal gameplay. However, each Key Item actually has a hidden quantity value in the game data, therefore the Bag is able to store multiple repeated Key Items in the same line as well (like in any other pocket).

The Berries and TMs & HMs pockets, and their counterparts the Berry Pouch and TM Case, have a pre-defined order in which they are always sorted, unlike other pockets. The Berries pocket and Berry Pouch are sorted by Berry number. The TMs & HMs pocket and TM Case are sorted by TM and HM number; the TMs & HMs pocket sorts TMs above HMs, whereas the TM Case sorts HMs above TMs.

In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, the player may store Key Items in the PC. However, this is not possible in Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald; in these games, all Key Item remains indefinitely in the Bag, except those items that are eventually delivered to NPCs.

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen introduced images of each item, which can be seen from the player's Bag. These images were retained in Pokémon Emerald as well as later generations, but were not used in Pokémon Colosseum and XD.

A visual of the Bag itself is visible while browsing its contents. Male and female player characters have different Bag designs. In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, the Bags are yellow; in Pokémon Emerald, they are green. In the catching tutorials, the old man and Wally use the same Bag that the male player would use, even if the player is female. No visual representation of the player's Bag appears in Pokémon Colosseum and XD.

Generation IV

The Bag was revamped once again in Generation IV, not only removing the space limit (and making the PC item storage system for items obsolete, resulting in its discontinuation) but also splitting the pockets up further than in Generation III. Three new pockets were split off from the Items pocket, making for a total of eight pockets. The Bags are yellow in Diamond and Pearl, but gray/silver in Platinum.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items.

In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, the Bag retained the list-like format from Generation III, with pocket-changing controls as well as a Poké Ball-shaped scrollwheel being present on the bottom screen. Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, by contrast, groups the items into six-cell pages. Additionally these games have Ethan/Lyra holding the bag with the pocket being highlighted, while other games just show pockets.

Generation V

In Black and White, the Bag was overhauled again, with eight pockets being condensed into five, much like in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. The pockets are called Cases in these games, and are labeled Items, Medicine, TMs & HMs, Berries and Key Items, with Poké Balls, Mail, held items and other items all being placed in the Items pocket. Held items, Mail and Poké Balls are indicated as such by an icon displayed to the immediate left of the item that corresponds to what type of item it is.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items.

In these games, recently acquired items (other than TMs) are added at the top of their respective item list (rather than the bottom, as in previous generations), and players can sort a pocket automatically by pressing Start, in addition to manual sorting with Select.

In Black 2 and White 2, a Free Space section was added to the Bag, and the icon takes on the appearance of a smaller Bag. Players can select items they use most and add them to Free Space for easy access. Manual sorting cannot be performed in this section, and items are always placed in alphabetical order. However, the player can filter the kind of items they want to see with the sorting button.

Unlike in the first pairs, new items go at the bottom of the item list like in previous generations rather than the top, including TMs and HMs. More sorting options were also added.

Generation VI

Generation VI saw the least amount of changes to the Bag. Items may be picked up by pressing and holding with the stylus, which allows for manual sorting; Start and Select both open the automatic sorting menu. In addition, the Items slot no longer has icons indicating items' types, though they are still grouped together when automatically sorted. The Free Space slot from Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 was removed, once again giving the Bag five slots, and each slot can be dragged to rearrange the order. A clock icon was also added at the bottom of the screen, which will show a list of the last twelve items used. An icon resembling two arrows rotating between was added at the bottom of the screen, also to open the automatic sorting menu.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items.

While the physical shape of the Bag did not change, it is now possible to customize the color and patterning of the bag due to it being an article of clothing as a part of Trainer customization. This is not in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire due to the lack Trainer customization in those titles, otherwise the bag works functionally the same as it did in Pokémon X and Y.

Generation VII

In Generation VII, the Bag retained most of its functions found in Generation VI except for the removal of the clock function and the reordering of pockets. While the five sections from Generation VI remain, two new sections were added.

The Free Space section, previously seen in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, makes a return and allows the player to store any items they want from other sections for convenience. A new section called Z-Crystals is also added, which stores all Z-Crystals found in the game. The Z-Crystals section will only be available once the player has obtained a Z-Crystal and the Z-Ring^SM or Z-Power Ring^USUM. Due to the removal of HMs from the games, the TMs & HMs section has been renamed to TMs only.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items.

Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon added a new section called Rotom Powers, which stores Rotom Powers received from befriending the Rotom Pokédex. The Rotom Powers works similarly to Pass Powers and O-Powers.

In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, with far fewer kinds of obtainable items, the bag is overhauled into being essentially a list of items displayed as a grid, similar to that of Pokémon Go. At the top of the list are eight pockets that are programmed as items that contain other items, like the TM Case from FireRed and LeafGreen. Many items do not belong in any category, such as Key Items, valuable items and Repels, and are instead listed in the same level as pockets.

Generation VIII

This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. Reason: Legends Arceus details

In Generation VIII, the Bag retained most of its functions found in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon. The ability to manually reorder items and the Free Space were replaced by the ability to mark an item as favorite and sort a pocket so that favorites are at the top. While the five sections from Generation VI remain, the new sections from Generation VII were removed and four sections were added.

The Poké Balls and Battle Items Pockets last seen in the Generation IV games have returned. The Items Pocket has been renamed to the Other Items Pocket, with valuable items split off to the new Treasures Pocket. A new Ingredients Pocket has also been added, which stores food used to make curry.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items.

In Pokémon Sword and Shield, the Bag is briefly unavailable from the menu at the start of the game; the player must pick it up from their room first before leaving their home.

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl retain all functionality from Pokémon Sword and Shield, as well as all pockets with the exception of the Ingredients Pocket. The visual representation of the Bag itself returns from Generation IV, now changing to match the player's current Bag if changed through Trainer customization.

In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, with far fewer kinds of obtainable items, the bag is overhauled into being essentially a list of items displayed as a grid. At the top of the list are two pockets: one that contain Everyday Items and other for Key Items.

Generation IX

In Generation IX, the Bag retained its functions found in Pokémon Sword and Shield. While the nine sections from Pokémon Sword and Shield remain, a new section was added. The ability to manually reorder items was replaced by the ability to automatically sort items in four different ways:

• Sort by type (Sort by number in TMs)
• Sort by name
• Newest first
• Favorites first

The Ingredients Pocket has been renamed to the Picnic Items Pocket, which stores ingredients used to make sandwiches, sandwich picks and other picnic items. A new TM Materials Pocket has been added, which stores TM materials to craft TMs.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items. In the case of the Gimmighoul Coin, the excess quantity of the item is sent to a man in Medali.

In Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, the Bag is briefly unavailable from the menu at the start of the game; the player must pick it up after Clavell enters their home.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series

In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, items are stored in the Toolbox. It has a capacity of 20.

In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky, items are stored in the Treasure Bag. It initially has a capacity of 16, being expanded incrementally throughout the story, up to a capacity of 48.

Pokémon GO

The Bag in Pokémon GO

In Pokémon GO, the player's Bag initially has a capacity of 350 items. Bag Upgrades can be purchased in the Shop for 200, which expand the capacity by 50 items per upgrade. The maximum upgradeable capacity is 5,200 items.

The player can hold more items than the Bag's capacity if they acquire multiple items at once that put them over the capacity, but if already over capacity, they will not be able to acquire more, such as from PokéStops, Gifts, and Boxes available in the shop. If the player would start a Trainer Battle with a full Bag, the game warns the player beforehand that they will not receive any rewards unless they make room. Rewards from Raid Battles, Field or Special Research, Adventure Sync, leveling up, and promotional codes are not affected by the Bag's capacity.

Prior to an update on February 17, 2017, the Bag was also available on the encounter screen, so that it could be used to select the camera, Berries, and other Poké Balls; it has since been replaced by separate buttons for these items.

The maximum upgradeable capacity has increased over time.

Pokémon Masters EX

Main article: List of items (Masters)

In Pokémon Masters EX, the bag is accessible from the Poryphone Menu and the training area menu. There are seven different sections, which are further divided into several categories based on item type.

In the anime

This section is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it. Reason: Needs information and pictures of all of Ash's traveling companions' Bags

Johanna giving Dawn a small backpack

All of the main characters in the anime own a Bag to store their supplies like a sleeping bag or tent, outfits, and Poké Balls. Generally, the main characters' Bags have little to do with their game counterparts, with Dawn and Serena taking a backpack rather than the actual Bags used by their game counterparts, and Ash's other companions having no Bags in the games.

Unlike other main characters, Ash carries his Poké Balls on his belt. Ash's Bag in Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl is based on Lucas's, but colored green instead. During Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon, Rowlet tends to rest inside Ash's Bag.

Misty used her pull string style Bag to carry her Poké Balls, sleeping bag, Fishing Rod, and a case full of lures. Togepi also preferred to travel and sleep inside Misty's Bag. Misty's later appearances during Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire show her owning a Spheal Bag.

The seemingly endless capacity of the characters' Bags can be only be described as the result of anime physics. By far, Brock's Bag has been shown to be the most spacious, having a full tea-set and table inside in The School of Hard Knocks, as well as containing, presumably, everything he needed to cook meals on the road for his friends. Brock also carried the group's medicinal supplies and maps while they traveled through the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh regions. His Bag was blue, with only the bedroll being removed during Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl.

As a Pokémon Watcher, Tracey carried around numerous sketchbooks, pencils, and a set of binoculars in his orange Bag.

Both of May's Bags were based on the ones worn by her game counterpart in Generation III. Throughout Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire, she wore a ket Bag that stayed on her waist like a belt. It was used to hold her Poke Balls, Pokédex, Contest Pass, and Ribbons. During her brief return from Our Cup Runneth Over! to Strategy with a Smile!, May was shown to have two Bags, one a green ket Bag and the other a yellow Bag.

Max carried around a yellow Bag that held his PokéNav.

It was shown in Following A Maiden's Voyage! that Dawn had planned to take a large suitcase full of various clothing and accessories with her. However, Johanna made her leave it at home and gave her a small Bag instead, containing only the items that she would need on her journey.

Iris wore a pink Bag.

Cilan owned a brown Bag, and like Brock, he carried the group's supplies around.

Serena stored her belongings in a pink Bag. Her second Bag had a Heal Ball design on it.

Clemont stored many of his "Clemontic Gear" inventions inside his black and white Bag. His younger sister Bonnie wore a yellow satchel-style Bag around her shoulder, which Dedenne and later Squishy rest in.

Mallow's schoolbag is based on the Forage Bag.

Both of Lillie's Bags were based on the ones worn by her game counterpart.

Goh has a brown and black Bag resembling a suitcase. As shown in A Test in Paradise!, it has a high capacity to keep his Poké Balls.

Roy has a grayish blue sack bag to hold his belongings.

Liko has a yellow crossbody bag and a black backpack.
