Regional Pokédex: Difference between revisions

Pokémon not native to a region which are obtained before a game's regional Pokédex has been upgraded to National Mode will be displayed with ??? as their Pokédex number in the status screen, where the regional Pokédex number is displayed in all other cases. If caught from the wild (through hacking the game), the Pokédex registration screen will display different numbers dependent on the game: Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald display a number between 203 and 386, corresponding to the Pokémon's position in the National Pokédex minus those Generation I and Generation II Pokémon native to Hoenn ({{p|Arbok}}, for example, is #226, but Pikachu, Raichu, Sandshrew, and Sandslash, which appear in Hoenn, are skipped, making {{p|Nidoran♀}} #227). Generation VI games, on the other hand, display the registered Pokémon as #000 if it is outside of their respective regional Pokédexes. Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, interestingly enough, state only that the Pokémon's data has been registered, and skip straight to nicknaming the Pokémon, never displaying the Pokédex.<!-- Unova-based games, interestingly, do I don't know what because I never got an extraregional Pokémon prior to beating the Elite Four by capture - only by trade. So if someone has a pre-Ndex Unova game they haven't hacked a full Pokédex onto yet...-->
