List of Pokemon

This is a complete list of Pokémon, fictional creatures from the eponymous franchise. This list covers over 600 Pokémon species in roughly the order of their first appearance. Pokémon can be organized according to a number of different attributes. The list provides their English names and several variants of the Japanese.

Pokémon can also be divided by the “generation” of games in which they were introduced and sorted by the other numbering systems introduced in those games. The first 151 Pokémon, introduced in Pokémon Red and Blue, have Kanto Pokédex numbers (official as of those games’ remakes), which are the same as the first 151 National Pokédex numbers. Another 100 Pokémon appeared in Pokémon Gold and Silver to expand the list to 251 for the Johto regional Pokédex (to which 5 evolutions were added when the games were remade). The Hoenn regional Pokédex included 67 of these, alongside 135 new species that debuted in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, bringing the total to 386. Next, the fourth generation combined 81 or 100 (for the first time not all) of the 107 new creatures from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl with 70 or 110, respectively, of the previous ones to form the regional Pokédex of Sinnoh. Those 493 were completely absent from the Unova Pokédex of Pokémon Black and White, which instead consists of 156 all-new creatures, which leaves the grand total standing at 649.

Pokémon may also be grouped into "families" of the Pokémon(/eggs/fossils) they evolve (or hatch) from and into.

The Pokémon Rangers of Fiore, Almia and Oblivia use Pokédex-like devices called “Ranger Browsers”, but their numbering systems are not currently included here.


 * *These pre-evolved Pokémon were introduced in generations following introduction of the species they evolve into (and after the 2nd, which introduced breeding). The pre-evolutions will only hatch from eggs produced under special conditions. All other eggs will hatch directly into the next stage of evolution.
 * †Marked as Illusory Pokémon for at least one game entry. These Pokémon cannot be encountered and caught in the course of normal gameplay, and does not affect the completion of Pokédex. They are officially only made available via promotional events, or transferred from previous version or spin-off titles under certain conditions. Lugia and Ho-Oh are special cases which is only Illusory in GBA versions (which inaccessible by any means in Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald version and can only be obtained through events in Firered/Leafgreen Version and neither of them affect the completion of Pokédex). But Legendary in other version which can be obtained by normal gameplay.
 * ''‡Phione, Zorua and Zoroark cannot be encountered and caught in the course of normal gameplay without obtaining certain Pokémon which only made available via events . However, Zorua and Zoroark are not Illusory Pokémon since they can be traded under certain conditions and are reqirements of completion of Pokédex in Black/White Version.
