(→Markings: Here's a try at avoiding the "do we or don't we end a sentence in a preposition" thing altogether. While you're right that it's a silly rule in general, formal and encyclopedic writing traditionally has to follow lots of silly rules, sadly.) |

In Generation III, there were four markings: ●, ■, ▲, and ♥. In [[Generation IV]], two more markings were introduced and the existing ones were reordered, making the full list ●, ▲, ■, ♥, ★, and ♦. In [[Generation VII]], colors were added to these markings, with the option of making any marking either blue or pink (markings from [[Generation VI]] are turned into blue markings). Pokémon can be marked with any combination of markings. A Pokémon will keep its marking settings if traded to another Trainer. | In Generation III, there were four markings: ●, ■, ▲, and ♥.
