Regional Pokédex: Difference between revisions

A regional Pokédex usually starts with the {{type|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]] and its evolutions, followed by the {{type|Fire}} starter and its evolutions, and the {{type|Water}} starter and its evolutions, then continuing through the rest of the Pokémon native to the region. [[Legendary Pokémon]] of the region are typically placed near the end, while the very last slot or few slots are occupied by [[Mythical Pokémon]].

Most regional Pokédexes include all of the new Pokémon released in that generation. [[Sinnoh]]'s original Pokédex is an exception to this, as in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], {{p|Rotom}} and certain [[List of cross-generational evolution families|cross-generational evolutions]], Legendary Pokémon, and Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation IV are absent from the regional Pokédex. {{game|Platinum}}'s expanded regional Pokédex adds Rotom, {{p|Giratina}}, and all of the cross-generational evolutions, though it still lacks several of the other Legendary and Mythical Pokémon. [[Generation VIII]] is another exception, in which all Pokémon introduced in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] are included in at least one of [[Galar]]'s three regional Pokédexes, while Pokémon introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] are featured exclusively in the [[Hisui]] Pokédex. In [[Generation IX]], {{p|Walking Wake}} and {{p|Iron Leaves}} are absent from the [[Paldea]] Pokédex.

The Pokédex order for the nine main regions of the Pokémon world are as follows:

** [[List of Pokémon by Isle of Armor Pokédex number|Isle of Armor Pokédex]]: #001 {{p|Slowpoke}} - #211 {{p|Zarude}}

** [[List of Pokémon by Crown Tundra Pokédex number|Crown Tundra Pokédex]]: #001 {{p|Snom}} - #210 {{p|Calyrex}}

**[[List of Pokémon by Kitakami Pokédex number|Kitakami Pokédex]]: #001 {{p|Spinarak}} - #200 {{p|Ogerpon}}

In the {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|video game}} series of spin-off games, Pokémon information is stored in the Browser, which acts similarly to a Pokédex for {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s. It is as follows:

In games from Generation VII and onward that lack a National Pokédex, non-native Pokémon that are caught will completely bypass the Pokédex, skipping straight to nicknaming; these Pokémon have no Pokédex numbers.

** The [[Newdex|New]] (Johto) and [[Gdex|Galar]] Pokédexes do not match the order. For example, {{p|Hoothoot}} (#015/#163) appears before {{p|Sentret}} (#019/#161) in the New Pokédex order but after it in the National Pokédex, and {{p|Blipbug}} (#010/#824) appears before {{p|Rookidee}} (#021/#821) in the Galar Pokédex but after it in the National Pokédex.

*** The [[NAdex|Alola]]{{sup/7|USUM}} Pokédex puts {{p|Poipole}} near the middle of the ordering.

*** The [[IoAdex|Isle of Armor]] Pokédex puts {{p|Applin}} (#019/#840) before {{p|Chewtle}} (#056/#833).

*** The [[CTdex|Crown Tundra]] Pokédex puts {{p|Wooloo}} (#003/#831) before {{p|Skwovet}} (#005/#819).

* {{p|Walking Wake}} and {{p|Iron Leaves}} are the only Pokémon that currently are not included in any regional Pokédex.
