In Pokémon 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. While players, at that point onwards, may have more than 200 Pokémon caught in their Pokédex, [[Professor Birch]] will not give them a choice of the [[Johto]] [[starter Pokémon]] unless their [[Hoenn]] Dex lists 200 caught. | In Pokémon 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.

In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, once the player has at the very least ''seen'' 150 of the 151 Pokémon of the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Dex number|Sinnoh Dex]] 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 Dex list via trades with other Diamond and Pearl games. | In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, once the player has at the very least ''seen'' the first 150 of the 151 Pokémon of the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Dex number|Sinnoh Dex]] and talks to [[Professor Rowan]], [[Professor Oak]] will arrive to upgrade the Pokédex to include the National order.

National Mode order was known as the "Old Pokédex" in [[Generation II]], while the [[Johto Dex]] was known as the "New Pokédex". This arose from the fact that [[Generation I]] was the only previous generation. Once [[Hoenn]] got [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Dex number|its own Pokédex order]], the numeration system that started with {{p|Bulbasaur}} had to change its name so as to not reference [[Kanto|a region not visitable in Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald]]. Being that the Kanto Dex as well went on to merely reference the first 151 entries in National Mode, it seems that all has turned out well. | National Mode order was known as the "Old Pokédex" in [[Generation II]], while the [[Johto Dex]] was known as the "New Pokédex".
