National Pokédex: Difference between revisions

In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the Pokédex is upgraded to National Mode after the game trades with {{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald|or}}. Trading with [[Pokémon Colosseum]] or {{Pokémon XD}} will not unlock National Mode.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, National Mode is acquired after the first defeat of the [[Elite Four]], if the player has more than 60 Pokémon owned in the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]] and the [[Sevii Islands]] sidequest is done. After this, the player can acquire Pokémon released in [[:Category:Generation II Pokémon|Generation II]] and [[:Category:Generation III Pokémon|Generation III]] via capture or [[evolution]]. This also allows [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|Generation I Pokémon to evolve into their Generation II forms]] (such as {{p|Golbat}} being able to evolve into {{p|Crobat}}). However, to be able to trade with anything besides another copy of FireRed or LeafGreen, [[Celio]]'s machine on [[Knot Island]] has to be completed with both the Ruby and the Sapphire, which will require venturing further south in the [[Sevii Islands]] archipelago, where Pokémon not in the Kanto Pokédex can be seen.

In {{game|Emerald}}, National Mode is also acquired after the first defeat of the Elite Four, and from that point on may trade with any of the other versions in [[Generation III]] provided that they also have unlocked capabilities to trade with it. [[Professor Birch]] will also give players a choice of the [[Johto]] [[starter Pokémon]] if their [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] lists 200 Pokémon caught, but not if only their National Pokédex does.

In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, once the player has at the very least ''seen'' 150 Pokémon of the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] ({{p|Manaphy}} optional) and talks to [[Professor Rowan]], [[Professor Oak]] will arrive to upgrade the Pokédex to include the National Order. This, however, is not ''required'' to be able to receive Pokémon not in the Sinnoh Pokédex list via trades with other Generation IV games. In {{game|Platinum}}, the basic requirement is the same but includes all 210 Pokémon in the expanded listing; this includes Manaphy, but the player can register Manaphy as seen by reading a book at the {{si|Pokémon Mansion}}.

The Pokémon {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Darkrai}}, and {{p|Arceus}} are ''not'' needed to complete the National Pokédex.

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, and {{game|Black 2 and White 2|s}}, [[Cedric Juniper|Professor Cedric Juniper]] upgrades the player's Pokédex to the National mode after they have completed the main story of the game. As with previous generations, event Pokémon including <!-- {{p|Zorua}}, {{p|Zoroark}}, not confirmed --> {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}} and {{p|Genesect}} are ''not'' needed to complete the National Pokédex.
