Foreign Pokédex entry: Difference between revisions

The Meister is a character in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl that upgrades the player's Pokédex with the ability to store entries in foreign languages for fourteen different Pokémon. He lives in a small house on Route 226 in the middle of the water.

After he upgrades a player's Pokédex, he offers to trade the player a German Magikarp in exchange for a Finneon. This adds Magikarp's German entry to the player's Pokédex.

The foreign Pokédex entry is in fact from the LeafGreen Version of the language in question.

Trivia

• Wobbuffet is the only fully evolved Pokémon that is part of a multi-stage evolution line as of Generation IV that one can collect a foreign Pokédex entry for.
• TCG-wise, all of the Pokémon listed here are basic Pokémon.
• It is not possible to collect any foreign Pokédex entries of any Generation IV Pokémon even though, ironically, this feature of the Pokémon games debuted in Generation IV. This may be due to the entries not having been translated into other languages yet. Gender differences face a similar issue, though only with the starter Pokémon families of that generation versus those of the previous three.
