Line 9:
The index number ordering is believed to reflect the order that Pokémon were programmed into the game (except for Mew; hex:15, who was actually a '[https://archive.today/te3z1 last minute]' addition to the game), and this is supported by [http://www.glitterberri.com/pokemon-red-blue/game-freak-staff-interview/creating-the-pokemon/ an interview] ([http://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0007/gfreak/page01.html original Japanese version]) that states Rhydon was the first Pokémon ever made. However, Ken Sugimori lists Clefairy and Lapras after Rhydon, while index numbers 2 and 3 are used for Kangaskhan and Nidoran♂.
Note that 39 [[Missingno.]] are found in the list between valid Pokémon, and the number of official Pokémon +39 equals 190; a round figure. According to [http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/there-were-190-pok%C3%A9mon.78267/ a post from Zog on Smogon], Shigeki Morimoto confirmed that there were originally 190 Pokémon, and that the rest were saved for later.
The identifier, not the Pokédex number, must be used for [[cheating device|cheat codes]] and in-game glitches like the [[Old Man Trick]] or [[Ditto Trick]].
