Pokédex (Stadium)

The Pokédex (Japanese: ずかん Illustrated Encyclopedia) is available in the Japanese Pokémon Stadium, Pokémon Stadium, and Pokémon Stadium 2. It includes a 3D visualization of the Pokédex from core series games connected via Transfer Pak.
In the latter two games, the Pokédex is a monitor in the . It is also referred to as Pokédex Monitor in Pokémon Stadium's instruction booklet.
==Compatibility==
==Location==
In the Japanese Pokémon Stadium, the Pokédex is found in the main menu. In Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon Stadium 2, the Pokédex is found at the .
==In-game requirements==
In all Stadium games, the Pokédex is accessible if there is a compatible core series game connected via Transfer Pak. However, if the player has not acquired the Pokédex yet in the core series game, the Pokédex will not be available in the Stadium games either. Similarly, the Unowndex in Pokémon Stadium 2 requires the player to have the Unown Mode in the connected Generation II game.
In the Japanese Pokémon Stadium, the Pokédex is only available if the player saved the connected core series game at a Pokémon Center. In Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon Stadium 2, the Pokédex is available even if the player saved elsewhere.

==Available information and 3D models==
English	Japanese 	Notes
Seen 	みつけたかず Amount discovered 	The number of Pokémon species that the player has seen.
Own 	つかまえたかず Amount captured 	The number of Pokémon species that the player has or had at any point.
Caught 	もっているかず Amount taken 	The number of Pokémon species currently available in the party or the Pokémon Storage System.
In the three Stadium games, if a Pokémon was not seen, own, or caught, then its respective Pokédex slot is completely empty, except for its Pokédex number. In the Japanese Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon Stadium, the 151 Kanto Pokédex slots are always visible, even if they are empty. In Pokémon Stadium 2, the slots are shown only up to the last available Pokémon according to each ordering system; other empty slots after the last Pokémon are not shown. In the Japanese Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon Stadium, the alphabetical order displays even the empty lines associated with unlisted Pokémon. In Pokémon Stadium 2, the alphabetical order only displays Pokémon whose names are visible (that is, only the seen, own, and caught Pokémon); empty lines are not shown.
In the Pokédex list, a "caught" Pokémon has a red Poké Ball symbol, an "own" Pokémon has a gray Poké Ball symbol and a "seen" Pokémon has no Poké Ball symbol. A partial Pokédex entry is available for "seen" Pokémon, which contains only the 3D model, species, number, category, cry, and wild Pokémon map. The full Pokédex entry is available for a "caught" or "own" Pokémon, which includes all the aforementioned data and also its height, weight, and description. The full 3D model is available for all "own" and "caught" Pokémon, while a transparent and faded out 3D model is available for all "seen" Pokémon. In all three Stadium games, the player may rotate the 3D model of a Pokémon. In Pokémon Stadium 2, there is an additional zoom feature to display the Pokémon in full screen.
==Distribution map==
In the three Stadium games, there is a 3D distribution map with the location and level of wild Pokémon in the connected core series games. Different sections of the same places are also listed, such as different floors in caves and areas in the Kanto Safari Zone. Pokémon Stadium 2 also displays whether a Pokémon is found by or fishing and the time of day. If Stadium 2 is used to visualize a Generation I game, then the Generation I style from previous Stadium games is used. If Stadium 2 is used to visualize a Generation II game, then an updated Generation II style is used, which includes Mt. Silver visible in both the Kanto and Johto maps.
===Cerulean Cave===
Much like in the Generation I core series games, the Cerulean Cave is not listed on the Pokédex map in the Japanese and English versions of Pokémon Stadium. For instance, is only available at the Cerulean Cave in , but Rhydon's Pokédex map simply says "Area unknown". Similarly, is available in multiple places including the Cerulean Cave, but only the other places are shown in the Pokédex map.
Conversely, the Pokédex map in Pokémon Stadium 2 does include the Cerulean Cave (listed as part of Cerulean City). This includes the location of Pokémon from Generation I core series games (even though Cerulean Cave does not appear in the Pokédex map of those games by themselves).
===Pokémon Blue glitch===
There is a glitch which causes non-Japanese Stadium 2 connected with non-Japanese to display the map locations for Japanese Blue instead. For instance, the Pokédex map in Stadium 2 incorrectly displays as available in the Cerulean Cave in the non-Japanese versions of Pokémon Blue, when in fact Raticate is only available there in the Japanese version of Pokémon Blue.
==Ordering==
===Pokémon Stadium (Japanese and English)===
In Pokémon Stadium (Japanese and English), the player may press the right C button to change the Pokédex order.
This predates the introduction of alphabetical order (and Japanese kana order) in the Pokédex which debuted in the Generation II core series games.
English	Japanese 	Notes
By No. 	ばんごうじゅん Numerical order 	Organize the Pokémon by the Kanto Pokédex order.
A to Z 	アイウエオじゅん Kana order 	Organize the Pokémon by their names. In English and European versions, this is the alphabetical order.In Japanese, this is the kana syllabary order.
===Pokémon Stadium 2===
In Pokémon Stadium 2, the player may press R to open the Option (Japanese: オプション Option) screen, which displays a list of available ordering systems. The New Pokédex order is used by default. However, the National Pokédex number is displayed no matter what is the ordering system used. If Pokémon Stadium 2 is used to display the Pokédex of a Generation I game, then only the options "Old Pokédex" and "A to Z" are available.
English 	Japanese 	Notes
New Pokédex	あたらしいずかん New Pokédex 	Organize the Pokémon by the New Pokédex order.
Old Pokédex	ふるいずかん Old Pokédex 	Organize the Pokémon by the National Pokédex order.
A to Z 	アイウエオじゅん Kana order 	This is the same as the "A to Z" mode in the games above.
Unowndex 	アンノーンずかん Illustrated encyclopedia 	Displays the list of , like the Unown Mode of the Generation II core series games.
==Search==
There is a Search (Japanese: けんさく Search) screen available in Pokémon Stadium 2. In the Pokédex, the player may press L to open the Search screen. The player may choose a type or a combination of two types. The list of search results only displays Pokémon that were "caught" or "own"; it doesn't display Pokémon that were only "seen".
==Unowndex==
In Pokémon Stadium 2, the Unowndex (Japanese: アンノーンずかん Illustrated encyclopedia) displays all 26 available types of . This feature is named Unown Mode in the Generation II core series games.
Like in the main Pokédex from the Stadium series, there is a number of "Caught" Unown (the number of different Unown forms that the player has or had at any point) and "Own" Unown (the number of different Unown forms currently available in the party or the Pokémon Storage System). However, the Unowndex has no "Seen" feature, so there is no way to check if any Unown forms were seen but never captured.
The 26 available Unown forms are displayed in the order that they were caught. If a certain Unown form was never caught, then it does not appear in the list at all. The Unowndex includes a 3D model for each available Unown form and the full screen zoom feature that was introduced in Pokémon Stadium 2.
The Unown word is also shown, like "Angry" (Unown A), "Bear" (Unown B), "Chase" (Unown C), etc. Like in the core series games, all language versions of the Unowndex (including Japanese, English, and European languages) share the same set of English words.
