Taxonomic Binder
The goal here is to have every single Pokémon species represented by the best card from their debut generation. For example, Pikachu was released in Generation I as #25, so its card would need to be from any set released between 1996 and 1998 (see Generation matrix provided below). When there are multiple cards for a given Pokémon in their debut Generation, the coolest and best one will be selected by my objectively correct opinion. In instances where a card cannot be displayed, a placeholder card has been inserted to maintain internal continuity. To summarize: Gotta Catch 'em All.
The Two Sections
The PokéDex section contains each Pokémon ordered by their Official National PokéDex number as defined by Nintendo.
The Forms section contains each Pokémon that does not have its own unique PokéDex number. It is organized by release date, then PokéDex number of the base form, then logical order. It includes Transformations, Fusions, Mega Evolutions, Primal Reversions, Regionals, Gigantamaxes, unique Terastallizations, and notable Variants. It does not include Shinies, Gender Differences, Form-Like Transformations, Technical Forms, and Spinda Patterns.
