A '''regional Pokédex''' is a [[Pokédex]] order specific to a certain [[region]] of the Pokémon world. Rather than chronicle all known Pokémon as does the [[National Pokédex]], a regional Pokédex serves to list those Pokémon native to the region, usually starting with the {{type|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]], and followed by its evolutions, the {{type|Fire}} starter and its evolutions, and the {{type|Water}} 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 slot or few slots are occupied by [[Event Pokémon|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 Pokédex]]. For example, in the National Pokédex, {{p|Aipom}} falls at #190, with its evolution {{p|Ambipom}} at #424. In the [[Sinnoh]] region's Pokédex, however, they are #063 and #064, 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 Pokédex awards another diploma in [[Generation III]]. In [[Generation IV]], seeing every Pokémon in the [[Sinnoh]] region's Pokédex allows the player to receive the upgrade to National mode from [[Professor Oak]]. | 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 Pokédex]].
