<P> Due to the large number of Pokémon , listing of each species is divided into articles by generation . All 807 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 a notable exception , as Victini is the first Pokémon in the Unova Pokedex and is also uniquely numbered as number 0 . </P>
