The National Pokédex is not available at the start of the games, but it can be unlocked by completing certain tasks. | ||

National Pokédex order was known as | National Pokédex order was known as '''Old Pokédex Mode''' (Japanese: '''ふるいずかんモード''' ''old-style encyclopedia mode'') in the [[Generation II]] games, while Johto's regional Pokédex order at the time was known as [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|'''New Pokédex Mode''']] (Japanese: '''しんがたずかんモード''' ''new-style encyclopedia mode''). This arose from the fact that [[Generation I]] was the only previous [[generation]], and one could {{pkmn|journey}} to [[Kanto]] in Generation II. After [[Hoenn]] received [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|its own Pokédex order]], however, the numbering system that began with {{p|Bulbasaur}} had to change its name so as not to reference Kanto, itself inaccessible in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. Considering that the term "Kanto Pokédex" went on to reference only the first 151 members of the National Pokédex, while the "Johto Pokédex" references the new order for {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, everything straightened itself out in the end. | ||
