Pokémon numbering system
There are several Pokémon numbering systems. They include the National Pokédex with all known Pokémon, several regional Pokédexes, as well as other number systems in spin-off games.
In the core series games
- Main articles: National Pokédex and regional Pokédex
In Generations I-VI, the National Pokédex has been available as a Pokédex mode in all core series games from Generation I to VI, and in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. From Generation VII onwards, the National Pokédex is not available in the core series games. By contrast, there are several regional Pokédexes, each including a certain number of Pokémon in different numerical orders, varying by region.
In the side series games
In the Pokémon Stadium series, Pokémon Bank and Pokémon HOME, the Pokédex is able to sort Pokémon by the National Pokédex number.
In Pokémon Stadium 2, the New Pokédex order is used by default but its numbers are not shown in-game; the National Pokédex number of each Pokémon is displayed instead.
