If Pikachu is the most famous pokemon of all, shoudn't it be #1 instead of Bulbasaur?

Bulbsuar is in dex # 1 because it's a stater. Somehow grass starters get higher numbers than Fire or water. If Pikachu was #1, then the world would be bad.

I still don't see why the world would be bad. I maen, it wouldn't selfdestruct if Pikachu was #1, would it?

I don't know. Which pokemon was thought of first? Maybe that's what they numbered them by.

Yeah...but they don't # 'em by popularity

Well yeah, but if you knew what I meant.....

I agree with Meepit, I always thought it was numbered by the order they were created

Almost seems that way in the middle of the PokÃƒÂ©dex, but at the beginning and end there is some structure - starters and other weak PokÃƒÂ©mon you encounter early on are at the beginning of the PokÃƒÂ©dex and strong, legendary PokÃƒÂ©mon you encounter towards the end of the game are at the end. Maybe they're loosyl numbered on when you find them in the game?

It's not the order they were created in, because Rhyhorn was the first one made and programmed into the game. That's why Missingno sometimes takes on it's form. I think though it may have something to do with their weakness like Pikachu3828 said

Ummm... I think Missingno takes on the form of random Pokemon. Not all of them, but a select few, not just Rhydon. I remember getting a Snorlax Missingno and (not so sure about this, but it wasn't a Rhydon) a Raichu Missingno. But that was interesting to know.

Good point. Pikachu should be number 1 (In popularity).

no I think Charmander should be #1

even after it lists all the starters, pikachu still doesn't come up.

Maybe Pikachu doesn't count as a starter (unless u play Yellow Version), because Ash missed his chance of GETTING a starter Pokemon - technically, he got a LEFTOVER.
