:That, and well, there couldn't really be any more options anyway. I mean, it's the same as the Hoenn Dex, only they gave numbers to that to discourage people thinking "Okay, we have Pikachu at #25, where can we get #24 and #23, too?" like how the Johto dex was structured with keeping the National numbers. It only did so because everyone was available. Hoenn didn't, and Shin'ō's just keeping Hoenn's tradition. Heck, if Hoenn's dex included them all as of Gen III, it would be in essence an updated National Dex. In actuality, that's what the "by landscape-thing" was in the FR/LG dex, an updated version. Only difference there is that the Johto Dex was ID'd in-game as the New Pokédex, with the National as Old Pokédex. And though GSC went back to Kanto, the New Dex was based off of Johto's starters, like Kanto's, Hoenn's, and Shin'ō's are off of their own. If anything, the Johto dex is a precursor to the idea of a full-out regional Pokédex, because it included all of the known Pokémon at the time. But it's still pretty much a regional dex, even if it doesn't explicitly exclude the Pokémon not obtainable without the Time Capsule, like Mewtwo or the Legendary Birds.

::Exactly. The GSC Pokédex is more appropriately called the "Johto-Kanto Continental Pokédex as of Generation II by location". FR/LG's Pokédex by Habitat was an update to this. So, we should maybe add an asterisk next to the Pokémon you can only obtain from a Time Capsule, etc. [[User:DanPMK|MK]] 07:32, 8 October 2006 (UTC) | |||
