    I thought the Pokedex was also available at the computers in the clinics, but maybe I’m remembering wrong. So the Pokedex is just a portable viewing device of the information, and the phone just made it a single app.

      Nah, there was just an option to get the Professor’s rating at the computers based on your progress. It’s doesn’t really do anything, and the feature gets removed later on.

      In later games you’d want to talk with the professor(s) directly for item rewards, and the little screen certificates you get for a full completed dex have always come from the fourth wall breaking gamefreak employees in the game.
