Line 89:
*In the same vein as the anime, ''[[Pokémon]]'' video games use the Poké Balls for the same purpose. Although one of the main differences is that the Luxury Ball raises your friendship level with whatever you used it on at a faster rate than the conventional Poké Balls.
** Capture Stylers as pictured above, from the ''Pokemon Ranger'' spin-off, that Pokemon Rangers use to temporarily gain assistance from wild Pokemon to either clear an environmental obstacle or to lend its elemental power to help tame another Pokémon. It uses the Capture Disc that trails a beam to transmit friendship to tame a wild pokemon.
** A Key Stone and a Mega Stone, from ''X'' and ''Y'', are used together for Mega Evolution, which allows certain species of Pokémon to assume a stronger form when a Mega Stone they are holding [[Power of Friendship|resonates with the Key Stone that their Trainer has]]. Most accessories that have the Key Stone embedded are jewelry with 'Mega' before it, such as Mega Ring, Mega Glove, Mega Charm, etc.
** A Z-Ring from ''Sun'' and ''Moon'' allows Trainer and their Pokemon to gather Z-Power to use [[Limit Break|Z-Moves]]. The bracelet is made by refinding a Sparkling Stone, and the user can slot in a Z-Crystal along with others is not in use. It's also capable of inducing Mega Evolution when a [[Applied Phlebotinum|Key Stone]] is inserted much like a Mega Ring.
** A Dynaband from ''Sword'' and ''Shield'' allows a Trainer to Dynamax their Pokemon and be able to use Max Moves.
* The Legatus, from ''Astral Chain'', is the device that connects a Neuron Officer, which is an officer in an elite police task force, and a Legion, which is a Chimera that has been turned into a living weapon. It works by mentally links them to fight together in unison by binding them with a chain composed of energy. Neuron Officers generally use the Legion to ward off extradimensional threats caused by the Chimeras in addition to regular policing. And it's said that having a strong bond with your Legion makes it more obedient...or less likely to kill you out of revenge.
* A COMP from ''[[Shin Megami Tensei]]'' carries the Demon Summoning Program designed by Stephen. The portable computer allows the protagonist to communicate, contract, and summon demons.
Line 96 ⟶ 97:
** Gauntlets, from ''[[Shin Megami Tensei V]]'', are devices that are used to determine if a person can become a Samurai or not during a ceremony called the Gauntlet Rite. They come with an AI called Burroughs and other features. Burroughs helps guide her user by showing demon data, navigation, and can be used to interact with demons. The gauntlet is used for contracting, fusion, making backups, and even learn skills from such creatures.
*** Smartphones in the same setting use apps for Hunters to use for interaction with demons to slay them.
** COMPs (short for Communication Players) from ''[[Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor]]'', which bears a resemblance to a Nintendo DS (or Nintendo 3DS in the remake). Advertised as a gaming console where web browsing, email, and international online gaming is possible. Thanks to the Demon Summoning Program developed by the protagonist's cousin is used to survive the Tokyo Lockdown. It also carries the secondary program called the Harmonizer which make attacks from Human effective against demons while decreasing damage. When first initiated, a demon will emerge with strength equal to the user. Demons can be obtained through an online auction by using Macca. If the power of the COMP runs out or broken, then the demon contract is nulled, and the Harmonizer off leaves a vulnerability to the monsters.
** The [[Adaptive Armor|DEMONICA]] (short for DEMOuntable Next Integrated Capability Armor), from ''[[Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey]]'', is a form of adaptive [[Power Armor]] that's been installed with the Demon Summoning Program. The armor's aptitude bases on the user's personality and improves performance through combat. It is made to survive the environment of the Schwarwelt and carries different functions such as detecting invisible enemies and doors. While also being able to do what other devices in the series can do, it can also use Sub-Apps. These are programs with different functions such as changing awards from battle, summoned demon's skill growth, and can detect different map details.
*** Devil Risers, from ''[[Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Children]]'', are gun-shaped computers used for carrying and summon demons. There is also the laptop-like device called Vinecoms that can hold demons for extra storage while also carrying information on them. There is also King Risers, which are used as a second Devil Riser for summoning stronger demons than a Devil Riser could.
