Before Pokemon X and Pokemon Y there were 649 Pokemon in the National Pokedex, not including variant forms.
How many new Pokedex entries does Pokemon X/Y add and what are the total number of Pokemon now?
Particularly:
- Do the new Mega Pokemon each have their own entry in Pokemon X/Y's National Pokedex?
- Does Pokemon X/Y have a National Pokedex? What's the highest National Pokedex number of a Pokemon in X/Y?
- Does Pokemon X/Y have any legendary Pokemon like Mew, which aren't normally encountered and haven't been officially announced yet but might still appear at the end of the Pokedex? (This may be harder to answer than previous generations, since 3DS ROMs are harder to hack and therefore mine for raw Pokedex information.)
Best Answer
There aren't that many entirely new Pokemon in this generation...some people are upset about this. Not counting mega evolutions (which I don't believe appear in the Pokedex as normal), the count is believed to be up to 718 as of this writing.
