A '''regional Pokédex''' is a [[Pokédex]] order specific to a certain [[region]] of the Pokémon world. None of the regional Pokédexes yet released chronicle all Pokémon known (though the [[Johto Dex]] did at [[Generation II|its time]], it is often considered merely a precursor); instead they chronicle those Pokémon native to the region, starting with the {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]], and followed by its evolutions, the {{type2|Fire}} starter and its evolutions, and the {{type2|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 spot or two are occupied by special Pokémon not normally encountered. | A '''regional Pokédex''' is a [[Pokédex]] order specific to a certain [[region]] of the Pokémon world.

For example, in the National Pokédex, {{p|Aipom}} falls at #190, with its evolution {{p|Ambipom}} at #424. In the [[Sinnoh]] region's Pokédex, however, they are #063 and #064, respectively. Capturing all Pokémon in a regional Pokédex will cause the [[Game Freak]] developers in-game to award the player with a [[diploma]] in [[Generation I]], [[Generation II]], and [[Generation III]]. Completing the National Dex awards another diploma in [[Generation III]]. In [[Generation IV]], seeing every Pokémon in the [[Sinnoh]] region's Pokédex allows the player to receive the upgrade to National mode from [[Professor Oak]]. | ||

In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Pokémon such as {{p|Gligar}} and {{p|Eevee}} were excluded from the listing, despite both receiving new evolutions in Generation IV and being easily available after getting the National Dex. The reasoning for this is unknown, however, both of these Pokémon, as well as all others that are relatives of a Generation IV Pokémon, among others, were added to the Sinnoh Dex in {{v2|Platinum}}. | ||
