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; instead they chronicle those Pokémon native to the region, starting with the {{t|Grass}}-type [[starter Pokémon]], and followed by its evolutions, the {{t|Fire}}-type starter and its evolutions, and the {{t|Water}}-type 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.

A regional Pokédex will often place newly-released evolutions and pre-evolutions near their base form, no matter how much distance is between them in the [[National Dex|National Pokédex]]. For example, in the National Dex, {{p|Scyther}} falls at #123, with its evolution {{p|Scizor}} at #212. In the [[Johto]] region's Pokédex, however, they are #110 and #111, 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]], | A regional Pokédex will often place newly-released evolutions and pre-evolutions near their base form, no matter how much distance is between them in the [[National Dex|National Pokédex]].

So far, however, only the [[Sinnoh]] region's Pokédex does not naturally include all of the new Pokémon released in that generation. The reasons for this are unknown, as many Pokémon [[Magneton (Pokémon)|numbered as low as 82]] in the National Dex have [[Jibacoil (Pokémon)|evolutions in the 460's]], and neither they nor the new evolution are included in the regional numbering system. Still other Pokémon unrelated to Pokémon from previous generations are numbered as high as 493 in the National Pokédex, and yet do not appear in the Sinnoh regional Dex. | So far, however, only the [[Sinnoh]] region's Pokédex does not naturally include all of the new Pokémon released in that generation.
