There should be something about the real-life Pokedex. TheListUpdater 20:48, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

FireRed entries for Kanto Pokémon?

Am I correct in assuming, as LeafGreen got the R/B entries, that FR's entries were originally in Green? TTEchidna 03:41, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Oh, wait, answered myself. TTEchidna 03:43, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Nest area colors and patterns?

I noticed that there were different ways of highlighting nesting areas (at least in D/P). For example, Chansey's nesting area shows Routes 209 and 210 as square, cyan, and glowing, but the Trophy Garden as red, round, and flashing. Does anyone have any knowledge about what each of these mean specifically?

It means the size of the area. TorchicBlaziken 23:11, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Pokedex contradictions

There are a lot of Pokedex entries that are not fulfilled when certain moves are used in battle against it, like Hypno not making any Pokemon who sees it or uses Mean Look on it or wakes up from sleep fall asleep. TorchicBlaziken 23:11, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

If everything the Pokédex said were true, the games would probably suck. Arceus should just be able to make its opponent simply not exist anymore. This is just a case of Gameplay And Story Segregation.--Loveはドコ? (talk contribs) 23:52, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Models...

It seems that the TCG has given these things model numbers since the start... what ought we do about that, as far as mentioning it? TTEchidna 19:09, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

The issue is that the GSC Pokédex wasn't given a model number, and the RSE Pokédex wasn't even featured. Perhaps mention the model numbers straight after naming the Pokédex number, as such:
  • The first version of the Pokédex (model number HANDY505)...
  • The second Pokédex (model number HANDY808...
  • The fourth Pokédex (model number HANDY909)...
  • The fifth Pokédex (model number HANDY910is)... (Unsure about what to do with the sixth Pokédex, as it's still the same model, just new software, it seems)
And link to the relevant TCG page for the model? Cipher (Talk) 19:18, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
I wouldn't doubt that the model number appears SOMEWHERE in the games... it has to. TTEchidna 19:24, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Well, if model numbers are mentioned in the TCG, surely they must have been mentioned in either the games or the anime. I don't recall the TCG ever having been a primary source for something like that. Cipher (Talk) 19:43, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Pokédex model numbers are never mentioned in any English game pre‐Ruby and Sapphire; can’t comment for anything from GBA onward, but i think that’s highly unlikely as well. I suspect this is just a case of TCG canon—it is pretty cool though. IIMarckus 18:38, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
