The blue pentagon, a type of origin marking, highlighted on a Garchomp's status screen in Generation VI

An origin marking is an icon displayed on the summary screen of Pokémon in Pokémon Bank and the Generation VI and VII games that indicates the set of games it originated in. A Pokémon can only have one origin marking.

Pokémon that are hatched, caught, or received as a gift in a Generation I, VI, or VII game will have an origin marking. Even if the Pokémon's parents have different or no origin marking, a bred Pokémon's origin marking always matches the game in which it was bred.

On the summary screen, the origin marking is placed near the markings.

Types of origin marking

Blue pentagon

The blue pentagon[1][2] blue pentagon (Japanese: 五角形のマーク blue pentagon mark[3]) is an origin marking possessed by Pokémon obtained in the Generation VI games. Pokémon that were hatched, caught, or received as a gift in a Generation VI game have the blue pentagon.

Prior to the release of Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, having a blue pentagon was referred to as being Kalos native.[4] While the blue pentagon is blue in the Generation VI games and Pokémon Bank, it is black in the Generation VII games.

Black clover

The black clover (also known as the Alola symbol) is an origin marking possessed by Pokémon obtained in the Generation VII games. Pokémon that were hatched, caught, or received as a gift in a Generation VII game have the black clover.

Game Boy icon

The Game Boy icon Game Boy is an origin marking possessed by Pokémon obtained in the Generation I Virtual Console games. Pokémon that were caught or received as a gift in a Generation I game and transferred to Pokémon Bank via Poké Transfer have the Game Boy icon.

No origin marking

Pokémon obtained in the Generation III, IV, or V games do not have any origin marking.

Function

In official live tournaments in Generation VI and VII, as well as at the Battle Spot in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, only Pokémon with a particular origin marking can be used. For Generation VI official live tournaments and Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Battle Spot, only Pokémon with the blue pentagon can be used; for Generation VII official live tournaments, only Pokémon with the black clover can be used.

In Pokémon Bank's list mode, it is possible to filter Pokémon by their origin marking (although it is not possible to filter for Pokémon that have none).

In Pokémon X and Y, if the player has owned a species of Pokémon, but only a Pokémon that does not have a blue pentagon, it will be marked in the Pokédex differently. The player will receive a crown on the Pokédex screen for each of the Kalos Pokédexes only if the Pokédex is completed using only Pokémon that have a blue pentagon. The player will receive a different diploma for a Pokédex completed using Pokémon without a blue pentagon. It is still possible to obtain a crown and get the normal diploma if the Pokédex is later completed using only Pokémon with a blue pentagon.

In Pokémon Sun and Moon, if the player talks to Shigeki Morimoto while they have a Pokémon with the Game Boy icon in their party, he will comment that it takes him back, then give a trivium about the development of the Generation I core series games.

Availability

All of the first 721 Pokémon can have the blue pentagon, as each of them can be obtained in Generation VI or have been distributed as an event Pokémon to Generation VI games. Only the first 151 Pokémon, as well as the 22 cross-generational evolutions of Generation I Pokémon, can have the Game Boy origin marking.
