pokedex number
The number of a Pokémon species mentioned somewhere on the post.
A few random National Pokédex examples:
#0001 - Bulbasaur
#0025 - Pikachu
#0493 - Arceus
Note: Prior to Generation IX, National Pokédex numbers used three digits instead of four.
Regional numbers are acceptable too (Danbooru post #829062). A few examples:
#001 - Chikorita (Johto Pokédex)
#023 - Magikarp (Sinnoh Pokédex)
#217 - Wobbuffet (Galar Pokédex)
