In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, once the player has at the very least ''seen'' 150 Pokémon of the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]], ({{p|Manaphy}} is the only Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex in these games that doesn't need to be seen), and talks to [[Professor Rowan]], [[Professor Oak]] will arrive to upgrade the Pokédex to include the National Order. This, however, is not ''required'' to be able to receive Pokémon not in the Sinnoh Pokédex list via trades with other Generation IV games. In {{game|Platinum}}, the requirement is the same, however, all 210 Pokémon in the expanded listing must be seen, including Manaphy. However, Manaphy can now be seen without trading by reading the book at the {{si|Pokémon Mansion}}.

This, however, is not ''required'' to be able to receive Pokémon not in the Sinnoh Pokédex list via trades with other Generation IV games. In {{game|Platinum}}, the basic requirement is the same but includes all 210 Pokémon in the expanded listing; this includes Manaphy, but the player can register Manaphy as seen by reading a book at the {{si|Pokémon Mansion}}.


In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Professor Oak gives the player the National Pokédex before he/she boards the [[S.S. Aqua]] for the first time. However, as with Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, it is not required to obtain Pokémon not in the games' regional Pokédex (in this case, the Johto Pokédex).

The Pokémon {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Darkrai}} are ''not'' needed to complete the National Pokédex.

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, [[Cedric Juniper|Professor Cedric Juniper]] upgrades the player's Pokédex to the National mode when the player first leaves his/her own house after defeating [[N]] and [[Ghetsis]]. As with previous generations, event Pokémon including <!-- {{p|Zoura}}, {{p|Zoroark}} not confirmed --> {{p|Keldeo}}, {{p|Meloetta}} and {{p|Genesect}} are ''not'' needed to complete the National Pokédex. In {{2v2|Black|White|2}} Cedric Juniper will upgrade the Pokédex in player's house, after (s)he defeats the [[Iris|Champion]].

National Mode order was known as the "old Pokédex" in [[Generation II]], while Johto's regional Pokédex at the time was known as the "[[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|New Pokédex]]". This arose from the fact that Generation I was the only previous generation, and one could journey to [[Kanto]] in Generation II. Once [[Hoenn]] got [[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 Ruby, Sapphire, and 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 HeartGold and SoulSilver, everything straightened itself out in the end.
