''"ID number" redirects here, for the player's ID number, or 'secret ID' please see [[bp:ID number|Bulbapedia's respective article]]''
In the Pokémon games, an '''identifier''' (also '''index number''' or '''ID number''') is a number used within the game's code to identify pieces of data. Pokémon, items, locations, moves, and abilities all have unique identifiers; in each game, no two Pokémon have the same identifier. Pieces of data in different categories, however, may share identifiers -- a Pokemon and an item may use the same identifier, for instance. Identifiers may be likened to character codes in [[Wikipedia:Character encoding|computer text]].
