Generations
Species counts and daily-pool eligibility by generation, generated directly from the dataset.
What "Generation" Means Here
Generation reflects which numbered set of games a Pokémon species was first introduced in. It's a factual attribute pulled directly from the dataset — not a ranking, and this page makes no claim about which generation is "best" or most popular.

All 1,025 species in the dataset can be typed in as a guess, regardless of generation. The daily-answer pool, however, is deliberately limited to Generation 1–4 species that aren't legendary, mythical, or baby forms — see the About page for why. Counts below are generated directly from the dataset, not typed by hand.
