Why didn't Misty and Iris get a Pokedex?

I believe it's because Misty and Iris have been Trainers ever since they were younger, so they weren't beginners like most Trainers are when the get their Pokedex. Misty lived at the Cerulean Gym and Iris battled with and against Drilbur. But, they could have gotten a Pokedex from a Nurse Joy though. I don't know why not. :/

They weren't beginners like May and Dawn when we first saw them. That's why they didn't get a Pokedex from any professor.

It's pretty obvious.
May and Dawn started off their journey as Pokemon trainers (just like Ash, Gary even Cameron has one since he's a trainer). Misty was a Gym Leader and nothing ever stated a Gym Leader should have one (Brock and Cilan could be argued if you did believe so) and Iris was simply a trainer given a Pokemon by somebody she knows. Nobody of high priority like a Professor.

Yeah, ok!
Brock and Cilan don't have Pokedex's either, so why is this such a surprise?
I guess Gym leaders just aren't given them.

They don't care about it.
CyberCubed
Yeah, ok!
I'm not even sure why this matters? Does it really matter who has a Pokedex in the show?

Too old for your rubbish..
Dawn and May were given their starters by a Professor, meaning they get their Pokedex as standard. Misty and Iris didn't get them because they started training and obtained their Pokemon elsewhere.
It matters about as much as the threads you usually make..
CyberCubed
Yeah, ok!
Funny how they never told us what Misty's first Pokemon was. It was probably Staryu, but the writers didn't even care enough to state it. We were at least told Brock's first pokemon was Onix in an early AG ep.

She probably got her first Pokemon from a Professor? We only know three of the Pokemon she has, so we can't exactly say she doesn't have a starter..

Really? I always thought we got told about that and it was Staryu/Starmie. My memory is very foggy regarding the subject though, so I'm probably wrong..
CyberCubed
Yeah, ok!
I've rewatched the series extensively, we were never told what Misty's first Pokemon is. That's why we don't know if that Starmie was her first and then evolved or she caught it as a Starmie either.
We know Brock's was Onix, as an early AG episode shows a flashback with Brock/Flint and Brock saying it was his first.
