 While you could just make the wording technically correct (calling Pignite the second Pokémon Ash caught in Unova rather than the third, and so on), I think it would be more inclusive to just say that they were acquired/obtained.

 :Hi! You can't say they were obtained if they were actually caught. You can reword maybe the numbering, but "caught" suits better. I didn't change the numeration because those phrases are there since years, maybe ask an admin what's better.--[[User:Franky7|Franky7]] ([[User talk:Franky7|talk]]) 13:32, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
-::You have it backwards. Catching a Pokémon is the same as obtaining a Pokémon, but obtaining a Pokémon is not always the same as catching one (since they can also be received as a gift or via trading).

-::[https://www.dictionary.com/browse/obtained Please look at the definition of "obtained" here]. It says "to come into possession of; get, acquire, or procure, as through an effort or by a request".
 ::There is nothing wrong with referring to a caught Pokémon as "obtained". [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 16:30, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
+:::After looking through the pages for other main characters' Pokémon again, it does seem like the usual solution is in line with rewording the numbering (although I do think that "obtained" is still more inclusive, considering the category on episode pages is even called "Episodes in which a main character obtains a new Pokémon"). Nonetheless, I'll go with what you proposed for now. [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 17:31, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
