There are many times that when Ash discovers a new Pokémon, that certain Pokédex is in his pocket. But there are times too that Ash falling in the water...What happen to his Pokédex? It should not be responding anymore...right? :7up:

They still work because they're water proof of course.
 
Re: Does Ash's Pokédex contains something?

The Pokedex has never malfunctioned, the closest being an unupdated Pokedex not recognizing some Pokemon.

Its basically everything proof anyway considering all the abuse Ash had gone through with the Pokedex in his pocket.
 
Re: Does Ash's Pokédex contains something?

The Pokedex are capable of surviving thriugh asteroid impact, didn't you know...and besides he gets a new one every gen.
 
Re: Does Ash's Pokédex contains something?

He gets a new PokeDex every generation, not only changing apperance but also changing gender, voice, and personality.
 
Re: Does Ash's Pokédex contains something?

Going by that logic, shouldn't the monster balls also stop responding? They were both made by Okido if I remember correctly (or at least utilize the same technology) so shouldn't all his pokemon be stuck forever? :p

But honestly, I think the machines are specially created for abuse. The primary users of them are not only travelers, but they're also young children as well. I think the scientists took these factors into heavy consideration while creating them.

Isn't there an inconsistency with that in the anime?

I wanna say you're right (I keep thinking there was a time something did happen to it), but I'm not quite sure. In the event something did though, does it really matter? There are tons of waterproof devices in our world, but not all of them respond properly 24/7. The idea that Satoshi could get a defective machine isn't exactly way out there.
 
Re: Does Ash's Pokédex contains something?

I can't remember anything ever to happen to Pokédex. Maybe you mistaken it with Pokénav, which went malfunction after Max threw lemonade on it. But since there, even Pokénav worked right, which is funny, because Max handled it no safer then Ash, May and Dawn were/are doing with their Pokédexes ;-)
 
Re: Does Ash's Pokédex contains something?

it like those underwater watches. It can handle it. Probably as long as it's closed. I do think it'll break when you open it underwater tough

Nope. All the balls are manufactured and distributed amongst PokéMarts in all regions by Silph.
 
Re: Does Ash's Pokédex contains something?

Frankly, I don't know what Ash does with the Pokedexes after getting a new one.
Maybe he goes what we all do when we get a new Nintendo handheld system; throw out the old one or hide it deep in our closets.

Ash's Pokeball did break back in the Orange Island episode, "Pokemon Food Fight."

Ash's Pokeball broke and he couldn't return Snorlax to its ball till it was fixed.
 
Re: Does Ash's Pokédex contains something?

Maybe it doesn't break as a(n unintentional, of course) way to showcase how Nintendo's handhelds are known for being super indestructible as well?
 
PokeDex? More like SupaDex!

Able to withstand an impact.

Able to identify Pokemon... Underwater!!

Able to identify any Pokemon with a single point!

Able to identify Pokemon faster than a speeding Ninjask!

More powerful than a locamotive... full of RHYDON!!!!

And then be able to identify the Rhydon!
 
In a world where Pokemon are as common as those annoying birds outside your window in the morning, I'd hope they had developed some man-made substance that could withstand the destructive powers of the dex.

Granted, physics in the anime is screwed up anyway so maybe this should go on that list.

I honestly can not think of one episode, which contradicted the events in "The Misty Mermaid" but then again I don't have 100% accurate recollection of all episodes, I've seen. Nor have there been many examples of Ash or someone using a Pokedex underwater, nor even many episodes mentioning the Pokedex's capabilities. But then again, I've never seen an episode where the Pokedex malfunctioned (excluding Gary's failed attempt at dexing Mewtwo, which I'm not sure counts).

But I'm going with water proof, I mean why not? I mean there are plenty of water Pokemon, and you may not always have the ideal circumstances, to scan them. Especially if you haven't seen it before and want to know more about it.

I'm pretty sure Gary's failed attempt at dexing Mewtwo counts as a malfunction, seeing how unlike the other times an unknown pokemon had been scanned (both prior to Mewtwo and After), there was static visible on the screen (I'm guessing that the reason why it wasn't able to scan Mewtwo was because of that Armor emitting EMP waves similar to radar jammers.)

Yes, that's true. Heck, it may also be heat-proof/Geo-thermal proof for those Pokemon that dwell within Volcanoes/similar hotspots.

well mewtwo is a clone made by team rocket no other pokemon meets that condition unkown or not so gary's dex should not have reconized it or should have given info on mew instead

as for the pokedex sure it's multi proof makes you wish pokemon at least tryed to explain things more

(even superman & others explain themselves)
