List of locations by index number (Generation III)
It has been suggested that this article be moved to List of locations by index number (Generation III). Please discuss whether or not to move it on its talk page. |
Each location in the Generation III games has its own identification number used internally by the game, mostly to display where a Pokémon was caught. They are enumerated here, in order.
These identification numbers are used when a Pokémon is transferred forward from a GBA game to a Generation IV game to determine which region (Kanto or Hoenn) is displayed when the Pokémon is recaptured in Pal Park. This is necessary due to the appearance of not one, but two locations named Altering Cave, Navel Rock and Birth Island, one of each for Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, and one of each for Pokémon Emerald.
Locations with index numbers up to 087 appeared in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, those with index numbers between 088 and 195 appeared in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, and those with index numbers beyond 197 are exclusive to Pokémon Emerald. All games, however, have the locations with index numbers 254 and 255, which correspond to in-game trades and "fateful encounters".
Due to not having been programmed into the games, Pokémon whose "met location" corresponds to index numbers above 087 will display "obtained in a trade" rather than the location name in Ruby and Sapphire. The same is true for Pokémon in FireRed and LeafGreen for Pokémon whose met location index is below 088 or above 195. In Emerald, however, any Pokémon that was not transferred from Pokémon Colosseum or Pokémon XD will display the correct met area.
