Do you know if there are any new, updated models of Pokedex currently in development? One researcher to another.
Ash’s model is the latest one and they aren’t out for consumer production yet. I guess you could consider his the prototype? Beta model? I’m sure Professor Oak has been using the data from it and whoever else he gave a pokedex to in order to develop new ones.
Actually, I’m not sure if Professor Oak is the one responsible for making them. I know he provided almost all the data files on it, all the ones I’ve read on Ash’s pokedex have his name on the articles, but the hardware and circuitry might be the work of a different Professor? Not Professor Akihabara. Maybe Rowan? Or Juniper?
New models will come out soon I’m sure. The pokedex will go through a wide range of styles and updates and eventually every region will have their own signature style!
