 An '''index number''' is a number used internally by games to identify certain things. In the Pokémon games, there are index numbers for many things, most which are not seen other than by the programmers.
-Most specifically, there are index numbers for [[List of locations by index number|locations]], [[List of items by index number|items]], [[List of moves|moves]], [[Ability|abilities]], and [[List of Pokémon#by index number|Pokémon]], most of which change between generations. There are a few for each, however, that remain unused, or are filled with "junk" data, such as the famed [[glitch]] Pokémon [[Missingno.]], or useless items, such as [[Teru-sama]].

-Only [[Generation I]] had Pokémons' index numbers and [[National Pokédex]] numbers not line up, unlike subsequent generations. There is, however, some discrepancy between the index and National numbers, after [[Generation II]]. For example, in [[Generation III]], {{p|Chimecho}} is National Pokédex number 358, but its index number is 411. [[Form differences|Alternate forms]] of a Pokémon, most notably {{p|Unown}} in Generation III and {{p|Wormadam}} in [[Generation IV]], also will have differing index numbers to accommodate their differences.
+In [[Generation I]] and {{gen|III}}, a Pokémon's index number and [[National Pokédex]] number do not necessarily line up, unlike in other generations. [[List of Pokémon with form differences|Alternate forms]] of a Pokémon also may have differing index numbers to accommodate their differences.
