Pokémon belonging to main characters should appear at the top of the list, in the order [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]]-[[Misty]]-{{an|May}}-{{an|Dawn}}-[[Brock]]-[[Tracey Sketchit|Tracey]]-[[Jessie]]-[[James]], in the order they were obtained/revealed. [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Team Rocket's Meowth]], [[Misty's Togetic|Misty's Togepi]], [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[James's Chimecho]], and [[James's Mime Jr.]] should precede all others. If a Pokémon is traded, it should be listed with the Trainer who traded it away within the episode it is traded, and with the Trainer it is traded to in all subsequent episodes it appears in.

Other characters' Pokémon should also be grouped together in the order they were obtained/revealed. Semi-regular characters' Pokémon (characters which recur in more than one episode, excluding two-part episodes) should precede guest characters' Pokémon. Wild Pokémon should appear in [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|National Dex order]], with recurring wild Pokémon topping the list.
