A '''bit''' is a single [[binary|base-2]] integer representing either the value 'ON' (1) or 'OFF' (0). In the Pokémon games, the simple concept of an ON and OFF value is useful for [[binary switches]], for example, the Pokédex flags use bits in 19 seen and own bytes to mark whether a Pokémon was seen or owned (8*19=152, which is enough values for every Pokémon).

An ordered collection of bits (usually 8) is commonly known as a [[byte]].
