List of Pokémon

The first 150 Pokémon as they appear in Pokémon Stadium, starting with Bulbasaur in the top left corner and ending with Mewtwo in the bottom right corner

The Pokémon franchise revolves around over 1,000 fictional species of collectible monsters, each having unique designs, skills, and powers. Conceived by Satoshi Tajiri in early 1989, Pokémon (or Pocket Monsters) are fictional creatures that inhabit the fictional Pokémon World. The designs for the multitude of species can draw inspiration from anything such as animals, plants, and mythological creatures. Many Pokémon are capable of evolving into more powerful species, while others can undergo form changes and achieve similar results. Originally, only a handful of artists led by Ken Sugimori designed Pokémon. However, by 2013 a team of 20 artists worked together to create new species designs. Sugimori and Hironobu Yoshida lead the team and determine the final designs.

The vast array of creatures is commonly divided into "generations", with each division primarily encompassing new titles in the

Yellow; generation II refers to Gold, Silver, and Crystal; generation III refers to Ruby, Sapphire, FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald; generation IV refers to Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver; generation V refers to Black, White, Black 2, and White 2; generation VI refers to X, Y, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire; generation VII refers to Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon, Let's Go, Pikachu!, and Let's Go, Eevee!; generation VIII refers to Sword, Shield, Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl, and Legends: Arceus; and generation IX refers to Scarlet and Violet
. Each generation is also marked by the addition of new Pokémon: 151 in generation I in the Kanto region, 100 in generation II in the Johto region, 135 in generation III in the Hoenn region, 107 in generation IV in the Sinnoh region, 156 in generation V in the Unova region, 72 in generation VI in the Kalos region, 88 in generation VII in the Alola and Kanto regions, 96 in generation VIII in the Galar and Hisui regions, and 120 in generation IX in the Paldea region, Land of Kitakami, and the Blueberry Academy in Unova.

Due to the large number of Pokémon, listing of each species is divided into articles by generation. The 1025 Pokémon are organized by their number in the National Pokédex—an in-game electronic encyclopedia that provides various information on Pokémon. The National Pokédex is subdivided into regional Pokédex series, each revolving around species introduced at the time of their respective generations along with older generations. For example, the Johto Pokédex, generation II, covers the 100 species introduced in Gold and Silver in addition to the original 151 species. The encyclopedias follow a general ordering: starter Pokémon are listed first, followed by species obtainable early in the respective games, and are concluded with Legendary and Mythical Pokémon. Generation V is the sole exception, as Victini is the first Pokémon in the Unova Pokédex.

Concept

Red and Green, were released on 27 February 1996 in Japan for the Game Boy.[3] The games were internationally released as Red and Blue in September 1998.[4] The ability to capture, battle, trade, and care for numerous creatures catapulted Pokémon to international popularity,[2] and it has become a multibillion-dollar franchise and the second-best selling video game series after the Mario franchise.[5]

At the start of a main series Pokémon game, the

rock-paper-scissors, though players have to strategize which Pokémon and which of their attacks to use against various opponents.[7][8]

Many species of Pokémon can

Lycanroc undergo form changes, which may provide stat buffs or changes and type alterations but are not considered new species. Some Pokémon have differences in appearance due to gender. Pokémon can be male or female, male-only, female-only, or of an unknown gender.[9]

The Pokémon franchise is primarily intended for younger players. However, each Pokémon has various complex attributes such as natures, characteristic traits, Individual Values (IVs) and Effort Values (EVs). These are intended for people "who enjoy battling and want to go more in depth", according to Game Freak Board Director Junichi Masuda. These individual statistics were also included, because the basic concept of the franchise is to train one's Pokémon. Designer Takeshi Kawachimaru stated that IVs and EVs "help to make each Pokémon in the game individual", as it adds unique aspects to them.[10] Each Pokémon game introduces a few "Legendary" and "Mythical" Pokémon that are powerful, rare, and hard to catch.[11] Pokémon Sun and Moon introduced "Ultra Beasts", which are described as "beings from another dimension" that appeared in the Alola region, and are similarly powerful and rare.[12]

Design and development

The evolution mechanic is most prominently displayed through Eevee (center) and its eight evolutions. Each one requires a different method to evolve.[13]

Throughout development of Red and Green, all Pokémon were designed by

Box Art" Legendary Pokémon and all of the official artwork for the games.[14][18] According to Yoshida, the number of rejected Pokémon designs is five to ten times more than the number that are finalized in each game.[17] In rare cases, rejected designs are brought back and released in a later generation.[19] Shigeru Ohmori, director of Sun and Moon, admitted that creating new Pokémon has become a difficult task with the sheer number of creatures designed over the franchise's 20-year history.[20] Each iteration of the series has brought both praise and criticism over the numerous creatures.[21]

The designs for Pokémon are often highly analogous to real-life creatures but also encompass inanimate objects.

Comfey fits appropriately in the Hawaii-inspired Alola region of Sun and Moon.[20] Masuda has stated that each element of a design has a functioning reason.[23] In some cases, the design team creates a footprint that a Pokémon could make and designs a creature around that.[24] Some designers look to game mechanics for inspiration and see where particular typing combinations could be interesting.[20] Typing assignment varies during the design process; sometimes a Pokémon receives a type after it is created and other times they are designed around a particular type.[25] Each Pokémon has a specific height and weight.[26]

The simpler roots of designs in generation I prompted greater complexity in later games.

Sneasel, for example, draws inspiration from the Japanese yōkai kamaitachi, mythical creatures with fast, razor-sharp claws that hunt in packs. These elements are all found in Sneasel's design and characteristics.[27] New Pokémon introduced in generation VI, for example, are heavily influenced by the culture and fauna of Europe (namely France).[18] However, by the release of X and Y in 2013, Sugimori stated that he wishes for Pokémon design to return to the simpler roots of the franchise.[28]

Masuda considers the starter Pokémon among the most important in the franchise. Yoshida goes further and calls them "the face of that generation" and says that "they're the ones that should be on the packaging".

GamesRadar in 2009, Masuda stated that simple Pokémon take around six months to design and develop, and that Pokémon that play a more important part in the games (such as starter Pokémon) may take over a year. Masuda added, "We also want the designer to have as much freedom as possible; we don't want to narrow their imagination by saying, 'We want this kind of Pokemon.' When we talk to the designer we always stress that they shouldn't think of Pokemon necessarily, but should instead just be as creative as they can." After the Pokémon is designed, it is sent to the "Battle Producer", who decides which moves and stats the Pokémon should have.[10]

Glitch species

In the Game Boy Pokémon games, Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow, players were able to access a set of 105 glitch Pokémon. These species were not designed by the games' designers but could be encountered via the use of several glitches. Among them is a glitch dubbed MissingNo., which became highly notorious.[42]

Notes

  1. ^ a b The Generation I and II main series games were later re-released via the Nintendo 3DS eShop in 2016–2018, with the Generation I titles being in celebration of the franchise's 20th anniversary.
  2. ^ Two Pokémon, Meltan and Melmetal, were introduced in a 2018 update to the spin-off game Pokémon Go. Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! include Meltan and Melmetal as playable Pokémon only through being transferred over from Pokémon Go.[30]
  3. ^ Two Paradox Pokémon, Walking Wake and Iron Leaves, were added post-release in an online event starting 27 February 2023.[31]
  4. ^ a b c d Although Cranidos, Rampardos, Shieldon and Bastiodon are Fossil Pokémon, they are obtainable in the wild in Legends: Arceus.[35]
  5. ^ a b c d e f g h i j k Certain mythical Pokémon are permanently obtainable in-game, being Deoxys in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire,[36] Magearna in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon',[37] Celebi in the Virtual Console version of Crystal,[38] Keldeo in Sword and Shield's The Crown Tundra expansion,[39] Mew, Jirachi and Arceus in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl,[40][41] and Manaphy, Phione, Shaymin, Darkrai and Arceus in Legends: Arceus.[35]
