- Japanese name: The Japanese name, written in both the English alphabet as well as the Japanese original. A small number of the names below differ from what the official romanizations for a variety of reasons; in those cases, the official romanization is also provided in parenthesis for comparison's sake.
- Name Origin: A breakdown of the Pokémon's name. Since the overwhelming majority of the Pokémon's names have not had their origins officially revealed then these breakdowns are based on educated guesses and common sense.
