Pokémon has 646 (as of Pokémon Black and White) distinctive fictional species classified as the titular Pokémon. These creatures and entities reside throughout various locations of the fictional Pokémon universe and can be caught by humans designated as Pokémon Trainers often using devices called Poké Balls. These trainers use Pokémon for a variety of purposes, such as being pets and loyal companions and/or being pitted against other trained Pokémon in competitive Pokémon battles. Pokémon are potentially super-powered creatures that can employ a variety of talents such as generating fire or heat, martial arts, telekinesis, and so on. Through age and experience many of these species undergo a metamorphosis and transform into a similar but stronger specie in a process referred to as Pokémon evolution.
This is a selected listing of fifty-two of the Pokémon species, arranged as they are in the main game series' National Pokédex.
Victini
| Number: 494 | Type: Psychic/Fire | Does not evolve |
Victini (ビクティニ Bikutini), known as the Victory Pokémon, is a small rodent-like Pokémon. Its large pointed ears shaped like letter V. It is said that a trainer with a Victini will always win any kind of battle. It produces infinite energy within itself and shares with others by touching them. Victini was designed by Mana Ibe, under the instructions from game director Junichi Masuda that it would be more appealing to women. He commented that he liked Victini the best of all Pokémon.
Victini, similar to earlier Pokémon species Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, and Shaymin, can be obtained via a downloadable wi-fi event. Starting the release of Pokémon Black and White in Japan on September 18, 2010, the company released the Liberty Ticket (リバティチケット Ribati Chiketto), a special item that allows players to get in touch and capture Victini that cannot be caught normally in the games. In a teaser trailer shown by Pokémon Sunday, alongside with Unova's legendary Pokemon, Zekrom and Reshiram, Victini will appear in the upcoming 14th Pokemon movie. In English speaking countries, the item is known as the Liberty Pass and will be distributed from March 6 to April 10, 2011, in the United States, Canada, and Australia. The Pass Liberté (French), Gartenpass (German), Ticket Libertad (Spanish), Liberticket (Italian), or Liberty Pass (English & Dutch) will be distributed in European nations from March 4 to April 22. Another unique Victini was released for a promotion for the Victini and the Black Hero: Zekrom and Victini and the White Hero: Reshiram films, which has an attack which cannot be learned by the Victini given out to commemorate the games' release.
Victini has the Unova regional Pokédex #000, which makes it the first Pokémon that has such designation in any regional Pokédex.
As part of a promotion by Nintendo in the United States, Victini was offered as a pre-order bonus in some stores for pre-ordering Pokémon Black and White. Game Informer's Jeff Marchiafava praised Victini for its "unified character design", citing its species name and its ability. GamesRadar's Carolyn Gudmundson commented that it was "definitely worthy of his legendary status" due to its power, also praising it for being cute like Celebi, Mew, Jirachi, and Shaymin, but unique from them as well. She describes him as "cute yet aggressive", adding on that it is "ultra-Japanese", citing its "V-for-victory hand pose and bento apple rabbit ear design." When the design was revealed, GamesRadar discussed whether Victini was "cool or not", with the question of the week being what the readers thought of it, specifically whether it held up to previous cute legendary Pokémon. Kotaku's Mike Fahey called it as "adorable a lil' bunny-chicken thing." Joystiq's Griffin McElroy described it as indispensable in three-on-three battles due to its powerful assistance ability, as well as adorable. While discussing Victini's pre-order bonus, Shack News' Steve Watts notes that while people may trade for Victini, he questions "who would willingly give up a fox-chicken-bat that shoots fire and plays with your mind?" 1UP.com described Victini as a "flaming rabbit-like Pokémon".

Snivy (ツタージャ Tsutāja, Tsutarja), known as the Grass Snake Pokémon, is one of the starter Pokémon in Pokémon Black and White versions. Its arms and tails are similar to a palmate tree with three prongs respectively. A Snivy uses its tail to process photosynthesis, and if it loses energy, its tail sags gradually. When charged up with sun's energy, its movement speed sharpens. Snivy is known to behave accordingly in situations. In an interview with Ken Sugimori, he explained that Snivy was based off snakes that look like vines, and would have an aristocrat-like personality. He also stated that Snivy's evolution would be Western style of design.
It was first revealed as a silhouette on the May 9, 2010 episode of Pokémon Sunday. In the anime, Snivy was first seen in In the Shadow of Zekrom as the starter Pokémon of Trip, a beginner trainer in the Unova region. In Snivy plays hard to Catch, Ash Ketchum also encounters a female Snivy and successfully captures her.
It is the most popular of the Starter Pokémon from Pokémon Black and White. As such, it has been nicknamed "Smugleaf" by fans and has quickly become an internet meme. GamesRadar's Gudmundson called it "arguably the coolest-looking starter of the three". Gudmundson later noted for its quality as a grass Pokémon due to a healthy movepool of grass type moves.
Servine
| Number: 496 | Type: Grass | Evolves from: Snivy | Evolves into: Serperior |
Servine (ジャノビー Janobī, Janovy), a Grass Snake Pokémon, is the evolution of Snivy. Servine resembles a grass snake, and its appearance is very similar to Snivy except its back is grown by three palmate leaves with three prongs each. During a battle, it can run as if gliding from the ground that may bewilder its enemies. It evades attack by passing overgrown plants and then whipping the foe quickly.
In the anime, a Servine is first seen battling against a Dewott in one of the Battle Clubs in the Unova region. Trip's Snivy was revealed to have evolved into a Servine some time before Trip's second battle against Ash Ketchum.

It blows fire from its nostrils, but this is replaced with smoke when it catches a cold. In an interview with Ken Sugimori, he stated that Tepig's evolution would be Chinese style of design.
In the anime, Tepig was first seen as an unfortunate Pokémon that was left behind by its trainer in Battle Club, after being defeated in a challenge. Ash Ketchum befriended the Pokémon and captured it afterward. Tepig's original Japanese name is a portmanteau of Pokapoka (ぽかぽか), a Japanese word that refers to the warm feeling that circulates repeatedly throughout a body, and Bū (ブー), which refers to a pig's sound.
The Escapist criticized Tepig's evolution line for being another Fire/Fighting type starter. Game Informer's Jeff Marchiafava criticized its name for possibly being a pun of "tepid", which means lukewarm. GamesRadar's Carolyn Gudmundson criticized its evolutionary line; while she enjoyed the first form's design, she felt that the final form was a disappointment, as well as the use of a combination of fire and fighting as its type, a type combination used for the last three fire starters.
Pignite

It was first revealed as a silhouette on the May 9, 2010 episode of Pokémon Sunday. In an interview with Ken Sugimori, he stated that they were concerned on what to make Oshawott evolve into. After watching sea otters at a zoo, he decided to make the third evolution based off a sea lion, with Oshawott's shell turned into a sword. He also stated that Oshawott's evolution would be Japanese style of design. In the early reveal of Oshawott, fans gave it the nickname of "Wotter".
In the first episode of the Black and White anime series, an Oshawott in Professor Juniper's lab begins to follow Ash in admiration after the he considered the Oshawott to be cute. It then saves Ash and Iris from Team Rocket and reappears again where it officially joins Ash's party. In the Pokémon Master Black & White manga, Oshawott is Bel's starter Pokémon.
In a poll taken by Official Nintendo Magazine shortly after the official unveiling of them, Oshawott was shown to be by far the least popular of the starter Pokémon. However, Game Informer's Jeff Marchiafava stated "I'm going to go ahead and call Oshawott a solid choice for new trainers". GamesRadar's Carolyn Gudmundson agreed, calling it a respectable choice; however, she noted that if anyone chose it for its "adorable" first form, should be prepared for its much different final form, which she describes as "more like a samurai sea lion."

Patrat and its evolution Watchog were called "fairly unremarkable aside from their intense facial expressions" by GamesRadar's Carolyn Gudmundson.
