Please continue to add more and more letters to all of tour pages to Armaldo's continue name origin section,continue it is just a random name. Name continue must have something to do with the for it to be considered Just notable. having a few Pokémon letters and a similar is not going to cut it. It's like saying the "Corporation " pronunciation in comes from me, the two share nothing in between the other than sharing the first few fish.

Answer: no problem!

'''Armaldo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アーマルド''' ''Armaldo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Bug}} [[Fossil]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Anorith}} starting at [[level]] 40, after it is revived from a [[Root and Claw Fossils|Claw Fossil]].<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
Armaldo is a bipedal, amphibious Pokémon, somewhat resembling a {{wp|mantis shrimp}}. It is covered with thick, grayish-blue plates. There are accents of yellow, black, white, and red throughout its body. Its oblong eyes protrude from the sides of its head. A black pattern with two red, teardrop-shaped spots covered the center of its head and a yellow lower jaw. Three pairs of wing-like appendages extend from the sides of its long, thick neck. A plate of armor on its back has four short spikes and two triangular, yellow-rimmed wings extending from underneath. Its scaled chest and belly are rimmed with yellow lines as well, and there are two large yellow plates in the center of its chest. Its segmented arms extend from holes in these plates, each with a large, black claw. The legs are also segmented, with black knees. A pair of black fins tips its long tail.<br />
<br />
In ancient times, Armaldo lived on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|land by the water's-edge,}} and dived into the ocean to hunt for prey. The large wings on its back were used for swimming, while its thick shell protected it from enemy attacks. Its strong claws can break stones and punch through a steel slab. Furthermore, they can be freely extended or retracted. It is considered to be the ancestor of some {{type|bug}} Pokémon.<br />

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />

===NPC appearances===<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}: An {{OBP|Armaldo|Explorers of Sky}} serves a mentor to the future Guildmaster {{mdc|Wigglytuff|2}} while he was still an {{p|Igglybuff}}. Initially reluctant due to Igglybuff's devil-may-care attitude, he takes him on as an apprentice after sensing a powerful intuition from the baby Pokémon and eventually grows close to the young child. He tends to lampshade many RPG staples, such as traps and bosses, but is just as easily fooled by them. Armaldo is in fact an outlaw and is caught after clearing the [[Fortune Ravine]]. Igglybuff protests wildly and is about to unleash a powerful {{m|Hyper Voice}} (the first show of his infamous temper), until Armaldo calms him down and explains the situation; he gives the still-protesting Igglybuff a Defend Globe (the first treasure the pair found on their first adventure) as a gift to remember him by, and Armaldo willingly gives himself up to the authorities. This story serves as the backdrop for the second Special Episode, ''Igglybuff the Prodigy''.<br />
* He later reappears in {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, where another Igglybuff requests the player to deliver a Tiny Reviver Seed to Armaldo. Upon delivery, Armaldo muses about another Igglybuff he knew that had become a respected guildmaster.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Armaldo and its pre-evolution are the only Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Swift Swim}} that are also weak to {{t|Water}}.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
It appears to be based upon the ''{{wp|Anomalocaris}}'', although it shares some physical traits with dinosaurs.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Armaldo may be a corruption of ''armor'', a combination of ''armor'' and ''{{wp|armadillo}}'', or a combination of "armor" and "ald", an old Saxon word meaning "old". His name could also be a combination of ''armor'' and ''Arnaldo'', a common Latino first name.<br />

'''Armaldo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アーマルド''' ''Armaldo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Bug}} [[Fossil]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Anorith}} starting at [[level]] 40, after it is revived from a [[Root and Claw Fossils|Claw Fossil]].<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
Armaldo is a bipedal, amphibious Pokémon, somewhat resembling a {{wp|mantis shrimp}}. It is covered with thick, grayish-blue plates. There are accents of yellow, black, white, and red throughout its body. Its oblong eyes protrude from the sides of its head. A black pattern with two red, teardrop-shaped spots covered the center of its head and a yellow lower jaw. Three pairs of wing-like appendages extend from the sides of its long, thick neck. A plate of armor on its back has four short spikes and two triangular, yellow-rimmed wings extending from underneath. Its scaled chest and belly are rimmed with yellow lines as well, and there are two large yellow plates in the center of its chest. Its segmented arms extend from holes in these plates, each with a large, black claw. The legs are also segmented, with black knees. A pair of black fins tips its long tail.<br />
<br />
In ancient times, Armaldo lived on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|land by the water's-edge,}} and dived into the ocean to hunt for prey. The large wings on its back were used for swimming, while its thick shell protected it from enemy attacks. Its strong claws can break stones and punch through a steel slab. Furthermore, they can be freely extended or retracted. It is considered to be the ancestor of some {{type|bug}} Pokémon.<br />

===NPC appearances===<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}: An {{OBP|Armaldo|Explorers of Sky}} serves a mentor to the future Guildmaster {{mdc|Wigglytuff|2}} while he was still an {{p|Igglybuff}}. Initially reluctant due to Igglybuff's devil-may-care attitude, he takes him on as an apprentice after sensing a powerful intuition from the baby Pokémon and eventually grows close to the young child. He tends to lampshade many RPG staples, such as traps and bosses, but is just as easily fooled by them. Armaldo is in fact an outlaw and is caught after clearing the [[Fortune Ravine]]. Igglybuff protests wildly and is about to unleash a powerful {{m|Hyper Voice}} (the first show of his infamous temper), until Armaldo calms him down and explains the situation; he gives the still-protesting Igglybuff a Defend Globe (the first treasure the pair found on their first adventure) as a gift to remember him by, and Armaldo willingly gives himself up to the authorities. This story serves as the backdrop for the second Special Episode, ''Igglybuff the Prodigy''.<br />
* He later reappears in {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, where another Igglybuff requests the player to deliver a Tiny Reviver Seed to Armaldo. Upon delivery, Armaldo muses about another Igglybuff he knew that had become a respected guildmaster.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Armaldo and its pre-evolution are the only Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Swift Swim}} that are also weak to {{t|Water}}.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
It appears to be based upon the ''{{wp|Anomalocaris}}'', although it shares some physical traits with dinosaurs.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Armaldo may be a corruption of ''armor'', a combination of ''armor'' and ''{{wp|armadillo}}'', or a combination of "armor" and "ald", an old Saxon word meaning "old". His name could also be a combinatio of ''armor'' and ''Arnaldo'', a common Latino first name.<br />

'''Armaldo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アーマルド''' ''Armaldo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Bug}} [[Fossil]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Anorith}} starting at [[level]] 40, after it is revived from a [[Root and Claw Fossils|Claw Fossil]].<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
Armaldo is a bipedal, amphibious Pokémon, somewhat resembling a {{wp|mantis shrimp}}. It is covered with thick, grayish-blue plates. There are accents of yellow, black, white, and red throughout its body. Its oblong eyes protrude from the sides of its head. A black pattern with two red, teardrop-shaped spots covered the center of its head and a yellow lower jaw. Three pairs of wing-like appendages extend from the sides of its long, thick neck. A plate of armor on its back has four short spikes and two triangular, yellow-rimmed wings extending from underneath. Its scaled chest and belly are rimmed with yellow lines as well, and there are two large yellow plates in the center of its chest. Its segmented arms extend from holes in these plates, each with a large, black claw. The legs are also segmented, with black knees. A pair of black fins tips its long tail.<br />
<br />
In ancient times, Armaldo lived on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|land by the water's-edge,}} and dived into the ocean to hunt for prey. The large wings on its back were used for swimming, while its thick shell protected it from enemy attacks. Its strong claws can break stones and punch through a steel slab. Furthermore, they can be freely extended or retracted. It is considered to be the ancestor of some {{type|bug}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />

<br />
The Battle Factory rented an Armaldo which was stolen by [[Guile Hideout]] in ''[[PS334|The Final Battle VII]]''.<br />

===NPC appearances===<br />
{{spoilers}}<br />
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}: An {{OBP|Armaldo|Explorers of Sky}} serves a mentor to the future Guildmaster {{mdc|Wigglytuff|2}} while he was still an {{p|Igglybuff}}. Initially reluctant due to Igglybuff's devil-may-care attitude, he takes him on as an apprentice after sensing a powerful intuition from the baby Pokémon and eventually grows close to the young child. He tends to lampshade many RPG staples, such as traps and bosses, but is just as easily fooled by them. Armaldo is in fact an outlaw and is caught after clearing the [[Fortune Ravine]]. Igglybuff protests wildly and is about to unleash a powerful {{m|Hyper Voice}} (the first show of his infamous temper), until Armaldo calms him down and explains the situation; he gives the still-protesting Igglybuff a Defend Globe (the first treasure the pair found on their first adventure) as a gift to remember him by, and Armaldo willingly gives himself up to the authorities. This story serves as the backdrop for the second Special Episode, ''Igglybuff the Prodigy''.<br />
* He later reappears in {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, where another Igglybuff requests the player to deliver a Tiny Reviver Seed to Armaldo. Upon delivery, Armaldo muses about another Igglybuff he knew that had become a respected guildmaster.<br />

<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Armaldo and its pre-evolution are the only Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Swift Swim}} that are also weak to {{t|Water}}.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
It appears to be based upon the ''{{wp|Anomalocaris}}'', although it shares some physical traits with dinosaurs.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Armaldo may be a corruption of ''armor'', a combination of ''armor'' and ''{{wp|armadillo}}'', or a combination of "armor" and "ald", an old Saxon word meaning "old". It could also me a combinantion of ''armor'' and ''Arnaldo'', a common latino first name.<br />

The '''fourth generation''' of Pokémon games, sometimes called the '''3D generation''' by fans due to the fact that it contains the first [[main series]] (i.e. non-spinoff) games to use 3D graphics, is the fourth set of Pokémon games released.<br />
<br />
Like [[Generation II]] followed from [[Generation I]], Generation IV follows from [[Generation III]], although it is unlike Generation II in that it is not a direct sequel ([[Hoenn]] is inaccessible in all Generation IV games). Like previous generations, Generation IV focuses on one main region across three games, the [[Sinnoh]] region featured in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} on the [[Nintendo DS]], released in 2006 and 2008 (and 2007 and 2009 outside Japan). Also like Generation II, the Generation IV games retain much compatibility with their Generation III counterparts, though in a different manner, and introduce many new Pokémon which are related to those of the previous three generations.<br />
<br />
Much like Generation III remade the Generation I games, the Generation II games also received much anticipated remakes in the form of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, and through details revealed in the five main games, Generation IV is thus known to be contemporaneous with Generation II, occurring three years after Generation I and Generation III. Like all generations, the handheld games are joined by several games on the [[Wii]], specifically, [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] and [[My Pokémon Ranch]].<br />
<br />
==Advances in gameplay==<br />
Much like how Generation II enhanced Generation I mostly by building on its features, Generation IV builds on the features introduced in Generation III. The advancements introduced in Generation IV include:<br />
*The addition of {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon|107 new Pokémon}}, bringing the total to 493. New evolutions and pre-evolutions abound in this generation, including ones for long-time favorites such as {{p|Electabuzz}}, {{p|Magmar}}, and {{p|Eevee}}.<br />
*The addition of 113 new [[move]]s, bringing the total to 467.<br />
*The addition of 47 new [[Ability|Abilities]] (and removal of the unused {{a|Cacophony}}), bringing the total to 123. Many older Pokémon can now have one of two Abilities, rather than the single Ability they could have in Generation III.<br />
*Four more boxes in the [[Pokémon Storage System]], bringing the total to 18, for a total of 540 Pokémon.<br />
*Another new region to explore, [[Sinnoh]], yet again with its own [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Elite Four]]. Player characters are again changed.<br />
*Four new variants of [[Poké Ball]], retaining the seven introduced in Generation III.<br />
*A new [[villainous team]], [[Team Galactic]], whose intent is to capture {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, said to be the creators of the [[Pokémon universe]], and remake it in the image of their leader, [[Cyrus]].<br />
*The return of the real-[[time]] and [[days of the week]] system from Generation II, with enhanced transitions between the time periods of the day. <br />
*A three-dimensional rendering of the overworld, rather than just sprites, with the same style seen in previous games.<br />
*Moves are now designated [[physical move|physical]] or [[special move|special]] based on the move itself, rather than its type. There is also now the category of [[status move|status]] that includes moves that do not do direct damage such as {{m|Toxic}}, {{m|Recover}}, and {{m|Destiny Bond}}.<br />
*Pokémon are now able to be traded and battled over the Internet through the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]].<br />
*When items are bought and sold, the item's proper plural is used, rather than a conditional (s). In past generations, the conditional (s) rendered selling some items, like the Silk Scarf or DeepSeaTooth, odd, with "SILK SCARF(S)" and "DEEPSEATOOTH(S)" used regardless of if one or many were sold. Selling one of these items now renders as "Turned over the DeepSeaTooth and received {{pdollar}}100," while selling multiple renders as "Turned over the DeepSeaTeeth and received {{pdollar}}200."<br />
*Most things previously displayed with all letters being capital are now displayed correctly, such as {{m|SmokeScreen}} instead of SMOKESCREEN or Pokémon instead of POKéMON.<br />
*Pokédex is now updated to show Pokémon forms, including back sprites.<br />
===Alterations from Generation III include===<br />
*[[Pokémon Super Contest|New and enhanced]] versions of [[Pokémon Contest]]s, featuring more rounds and a different appeals process. [[Poffin]]s are now used to enhance Contest stats, rather than [[Pokéblock]]s.<br />
*[[Secret base]]s have been moved to the [[The Underground]], where players can interact over local wireless connections.<br />
*Some Pokémon now display [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|differences in appearance]] based on their [[gender]].<br />
*The framerate has been downgraded to 30.<br />
*Players are now able to [[Running Shoes|run]] inside all buildings.<br />
*Pokémon hatching from Eggs are now level 1 instead of level 5.<br />
*{{p|Machop}}, {{p|Kabuto}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Geodude}}' base experience values are changed.<br />
<br />
===Further additions in Platinum include===<br />
*Another new {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}, with several different facilities from the one in [[Hoenn]].<br />
*The ability to record and share battles with other players and in the Battle Frontier over the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.<br />
*The expansion of the Sinnoh Pokédex, making the total of 150 (in Diamond and Pearl) and 210 (in Platinum) Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex.<br />
<br />
===Further additions in HeartGold and SoulSilver include===<br />
*The re-introduction of the seven Poké Balls made from [[Apricorn]]s, unavailable since [[Generation II]].<br />
*The first Pokémon in the [[party]] can now [[walking Pokémon|follow the player outside of battle]] almost anywhere in the overworld.<br />
*Instead of Contests, the [[Pokéathlon]] games are used.<br />
*Ability to register two key items instead of just one.<br />
<br />
==Regions==<br />
===Sinnoh===<br />
[[File:Pt Sinnoh.png|thumb|right|Sinnoh]]<br />
{{main|Sinnoh}}<br />
Like Generation III, Generation IV introduces a new region disconnected from all previous ones, the [[Sinnoh]] region, found far north of [[Kanto]]. Being that it is so far north, snow can be found on its northern tip, as well as in the mountainous center of the region. Much of the western half of the region is rural, while its east is comparatively urban, in a similarity to the continental area shared by Johto and Kanto, respectively. The southern area of Sinnoh is lush and green with big cities and small towns.<br />
<br />
====Starter Pokémon====<br />
Though it was initially rumored that the {{t|Grass}}/{{t|Fire}}/{{t|Water}} setup that had been the norm for the past three generations would be replaced with a {{t|Dark}}/{{t|Psychic}}/{{t|Fighting}} trio, these rumors were later proven false. At the beginning of the journey, players must choose from the Grass-type {{p|Turtwig}}, the Fire-type {{p|Chimchar}}, and the Water-type {{p|Piplup}} to defend themselves from a wild {{p|Starly}} in Diamond and Pearl, or be given one of the three by [[Professor Rowan]] directly in Platinum.<br />
<br />
====Gym Leaders====<br />
Like the other four regions, Sinnoh has its own set of eight Gym Leaders. This set specializes in the same types as Gym Leaders from other regions, though not in the same order. Like always, Badges and TMs are given away by defeated Gym Leaders.<br />

|}{{-}}<br />
<br />
===Johto===<br />
[[File:JohtoMap.png|thumb|right|Johto]]<br />
{{main|Johto}}<br />
Much like [[Generation I]]'s version of Kanto was featured a second time in [[Generation III]], {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} caused [[Johto]] to be featured a second time in Generation IV. <br />
<br />
====Starter Pokémon====<br />
Much as Kanto's Generation III starters were the same as in Generation I, Johto's starters have not changed. [[Professor Elm]] offers {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}} to the player as protection on an errand to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house on {{rt|30|Johto}}.<br />
<br />
====Gym Leaders====<br />
As would be expected, Johto's Gym Leaders are the same as before, but many give out different TMs than they gave out in Generation II.<br />

===Kanto===<br />
[[File:HGSS Kanto.png|thumb|right|Kanto as seen in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}]]<br />
{{main|Kanto}}<br />
In its fourth appearance, Kanto returns in HeartGold and SoulSilver much in the same way as it did in Generation II (as a post-League area).<br />
<br />
====Gym Leaders====<br />
Kanto's Gym Leaders are the same as in the original Gold and Silver, changing slightly from the group who were there in Generation I and Generation III. All Kanto Gym Leaders give TMs, unlike in Generation II.<br />

==Other Generation IV games==<br />
[[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] features a [[Pokémon Stadium series|Pokémon Stadium]]-like arena for battle, allowing Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver to link to it through wireless communications between the Nintendo DS and Wii, much like previous generations' games would link to {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|XD]], [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Stadium]], and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}. Battle Revolution also features online battles with players around the world via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.<br />
<br />
[[My Pokémon Ranch]] lets players of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} deposit their Pokémon, via wireless communication, to a ranch owned by [[Hayley]], who will also bring Pokémon to the ranch. Players can interact with up to 1,000 of their deposited Pokémon. An update for this game enables support for {{v2|Platinum}}, as well as allowing storage for 500 more Pokémon, however, it was not released to players outside Japan, while players of HeartGold and SoulSilver cannot connect with the game at all.<br />
<br />
==Discussion of Generation IV==<br />
The Physical-Special split introduced in Generation IV as well as the introduction of powerful items such as the [[In-battle effect item#Choice Scarf|Choice Scarf]], [[In-battle effect item#Choice Specs|Choice Specs]], and [[In-battle effect item#Life Orb|Life Orb]] made competitive battling far more advanced and popular. This was also increased due to the [[GTS]] increasing the chance of finding a Pokémon with [[Pokérus]] and EV enhancing items for a specific stat being introduced also made it far easier to EV train a Pokémon, which added another dimension to competitive battling as EV training is no longer as painstaking as it was before. Due to these additions this generation is widely praised by competitive battlers. The GTS also paved the way for the [[Masuda method]] through the transaction of foreign Pokémon, and this in addition to the [[Poké Radar]] made it far easier to acquire [[Shiny Pokémon]]. <br />
<br />
After Diamond and Pearl, Platinum continued improving the series, adding a new {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}, as well as introducing many new additions to the games (such as VS sprites and animated battle sprites for certain important NPCs, such as [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Rival]]). Platinum is also an important part of the series' continuity, as the storyline of the game is referenced in {{game|Black and White|s}}, showing where [[Generation V]] is placed on the timeline. The overall generation introduced many characters, some of whom play notable roles during the following generation. HeartGold and SoulSilver brought older and newer players back to the Johto region with improved graphics and sound and other additions to the storyline and characters.<br />
===Sinnoh thematic motif===<br />
The theme of this generation is history of the universe, and myths and legends. The three starters' evolutions have references to myths and legends in themselves-- for example, Torterra is based on the legend of {{wp|world turtle}}, Empoleon has references to the god {{wp|Poseidon}}, and Infernape is based on {{wp|Sun Wukong}}. This also reflects on its legendary Pokémon, as Arceus is the literal creator of the universe and created the rulers of time, space and anti-matter, who are Dialga, Palkia and Giratina, respectively. All three of them are involved in Sinnoh myths, as are Uxie, Azelf and Mesprit: the embodiments of knowledge, willpower and emotions.<br />
<br />
Some standard Pokémon are also connected to myths and legends, such as Drifloon and Drifblim that in folklore are said to take children and people to the Underworld and Spiritomb who is said to be made up of 108 spirits.<br />
<br />
Some towns still preserve their history and myths. Celestic Town is said to be present since the beginning of Sinnoh, and has a shrine that dates back to ancient times, as well as a cave painting. Some other examples are the Solaceon Ruins, which contain Unown and is said to be as old as the ruins of Johto; the Snowpoint Temple, which was created long ago to contain Regigigas; Eterna City, which contains a statue of Dialga/Palkia; Floaroma Town, which was said to be a wasteland long ago, but then was transformed into a beautiful landscape by Shaymin; Mt. Coronet; and the Spear Pillar. Canalave City houses the first Pokémon library, which transcribes many of the legends of the region. Sinnoh was meant to establish the origin of the Pokémon universe and be more mysterious and historic than other generations.<br />

==Trivia== <br />
* Every [[player character]] in all Generation IV games has a [[Wii]] in his/her room, referencing its status as the current Nintendo console during the generation. Previously, in [[Generation III]], {{ga|Brendan}} and {{ga|May}} had [[Nintendo GameCube]]s in their rooms, {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Leaf}} had a NES, and Red in [[Generation I]] had a [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Nintendo]].<br />
* Generation IV is the only generation that is compatible with the generations before ''and'' after it, as it can connect to [[Generation III]] games through [[Pal Park]] and [[Generation V]] games with the Poké Transfer. <br />
* Generation IV is the first generation where level 1 Pokémon are legally obtainable, outside of the {{g|Mystery Dungeon}} series. <br />
* Generation IV is, so far, the only generation to have all its games released in the spring in North America and in the fall in Japan.<br />
* Generation IV is the longest Pokémon generation in Japan, falling only 10 days short of being four years long.<br />
* Generation IV introduced the [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|largest number]] of [[evolution]]s for Pokémon of previous [[generation]]s.<br />
* Generation IV introduced the least amount of Pokémon [[List of Pokémon that are not part of an evolutionary line|that are unable to evolve]], with a total of 5. <br />
* Generation IV introduced the largest number of [[legendary Pokémon]], with 13{{tt|*|14 if Phione is included, but Phione's status is disputed}}. Prior to the introduction of new forms for legendary Pokémon in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, Generation IV introduced the most [[Form differences|form-changing]] legendary Pokémon, with 3.<br />
* Generation IV is so far the generation which has the largest number of [[Spin-off_Pokémon_games|spin-off]] games, with 10.<br />
