PDA was probably the most common during the 90s and I think until iPhones and android, black berry phones were considered PDAs.
A lot of stuff in the 80s/90s used the suffix "dex" (after rolodex) so I could also picture something like "mobidex" or "pocket dex". Or there was netbooks so we might just call them netdex...
Nintendo would sue so quickly
Depends on the timing but Pokedex is clearly itself derivative of rolodex so im not sure that would actually work in Nintendo's favor
It's a Pokemon Index.
Pocket monster index
Duuuude, mobidex has such a cool sound to it. Real star trek vibes. I wish.
