List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number
- New Pokédex redirects here. For the TCG card, see New Pokédex (Neo Genesis 95).

Because many of the Pokémon native to Johto are also native to Kanto, for the most part, this is merely a reordered Pokédex list to place related Pokémon closer to their evolutionary kin. For example, in this scheme, Pichu comes directly before Pikachu and Raichu, and Scyther comes directly before Scizor.
This Dex order could be considered a precursor to the more refined regional Pokédexes of Generation III and IV, and the habitat-based list of Pokémon from Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. Unlike other regional Pokédexes, it includes all Pokémon from both Kanto and Johto, placing those that don't appear in Johto closer to the end.
Interestingly, the order was never referred to directly as the "Johto Dex" in-game, instead being called the "New Pokédex", where the National order was referred to as the "Old Pokédex".
Also, the numbers were not shown in the games, only the Pokémon names. This may have been done to avoid confusion with the "Old Pokédex" (the numbers of which are shown in the dex entries themselves).

Trivia
- If counted as a regional Pokédex listing, despite listing all Pokémon known at the time, it is the largest, with 251 Pokémon. It also makes it the only one to have starters and legendary Pokémon from another region.
