>>59017584No, we had a dedicated GBC-style one. The Pokegear was the main comms device, adding in a radio and a mobile phone.
Gen 3 had the Pokenav. FRLG didn't really get anything because RBY didn't have a comms device. Unless you count the TeachyTV.
Gen 4 had Poketch smartwatches.
Gen 5 had the C-Gear smartwatch, which could contact people through the Xtransciever calling function.
Gen 6 had the Holocaster. The Pokedex here was like a slate tablet.
Gen 7 had Rotomdex, who finally incorporated comms features into the Pokedex itself.
And gens 8 and 9 finally compacted the Rotomdex into a modern smartphone design.
