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]].

From Generation III onward, Pokémon not native to a region which are obtained (such as through [[trade|trading]]) before a game's regional Pokédex has been upgraded to National Mode will be displayed with ??? as their Pokédex number in the status screen instead of a regional Pokédex number. 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 (for example, {{p|Bulbasaur}} is the first Pokémon not in the Hoenn Pokédex so its number appears as #203, while {{p|Arbok}} is #226, but Pikachu, Raichu, Sandshrew, and Sandslash appear in the Hoenn Pokédex and are skipped, making {{p|Nidoran♀}} #227). Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen state only that the Pokémon's data has been registered, then skip straight to nicknaming the Pokémon, never displaying the Pokédex. | From Generation III onward, Pokémon not native to a region which are obtained (such as through [[trade|trading]]) before a game's regional Pokédex has been upgraded to National Mode will be displayed with ??? as their Pokédex number in the status screen instead of a regional Pokédex number.

If a game with the National Pokédex is used with Box, Box's [[Pokédex]] Mode will be upgraded to the National Mode so non-regional Pokédex numbers will be displayed from then on, regardless of whether a Ruby or Sapphire player has acquired the National Pokédex or not. | ||
