Because of how brief and uninformative the description of a Pokémon often is in its species, and how little the species relates to other data, it is not often regarded as an important piece of information about a Pokémon.
Because of how brief and uninformative the description of a Pokémon often is in its species, and how little the species relates to other data, it is not often regarded as an important piece of information about a Pokémon.
Before [[Generation III]], the species was shown by just seeing the Pokémon, rather than upon catching it.


In [[Pokémon games]] prior to [[Generation VI]], the character limit for a species name is thirteen characters or less. This includes spaces but does not include “Pokémon”.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Several Pokémon have had their species altered between generations. This is primarily due to character limitations in earlier Pokémon games. {{p|Squirtle}}, as an example, was originally the "Tinyturtle Pokémon". It was later listed as the "Tiny Turtle Pokémon".
* Several Pokémon have had their species altered between generations. This is primarily due to character limitations in earlier Pokémon games. {{p|Squirtle}}, as an example, was originally the "<sc>TinyTurtle</sc> Pokémon". It was later listed as the "Tiny Turtle Pokémon".
* The species names present in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} are cut off in early English releases of the games, most specifically those species names made up of more than one word with a space in between. This causes Pokémon like Pidgey to be listed as "Tiny Pokémon" rather than "Tiny Bird Pokémon". [[Pokédex data structure in Generation III|Internal game data]] lists the species name the same as it appears in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and other games, indicating a glitch in the Pokédex where a blank space is confused for the terminating byte for the name. This was addressed in later releases of the game.
