List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number: Difference between revisions

This Dex order could be considered a precursor to the more refined [[regional Pokédex]]es of [[Generation III]] and {{gen|IV}}, and the [[List of Pokémon by habitat|habitat-based list]] of Pokémon from {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. Unlike other regional Pokédexes, it includes all Pokémon from both Kanto and Johto, placing those that don't appear in Johto closer to the end.

Interestingly, the order was never referred to directly as the "Johto Dex" in-game in [[Generation II]], instead being called the "New Pokédex", where the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National order]] was referred to as the "Old Pokédex". This discrepancy was validated in the [[Generation IV]] remakes (which explicitly refer to their ordering system as the Johto Pokédex), with several Pokémon ''not'' in the same order, to allow for the inclusion of the five Pokémon that evolve from {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|Generation I}} and {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} by learning a move (i.e. {{p|Lickilicky}}, {{p|Mamoswine}}, {{p|Tangrowth}}, {{p|Yanmega}}, and {{p|Ambipom}}) as they learn their evolution-activating moves automatically. This new order can be found at [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number]]. Up to #101 ({{p|Yanma}}), Generation II's New Pokédex and Generation IV's Johto Pokédex have the same order; however, the two diverge at #102, which is given to {{p|Sunkern}} in Generation II's New Pokédex and {{p|Yanmega}} in Generation IV's Johto Pokédex.
