So when i open Pokemon Game Editor,Chimecho is the LAST pokemon on the list. Is this a glitch or did they program Chimecho last-second?
3rd Gen Why is Chimecho the LAST pokemon in Ruby/Sapphire

It's probably due to it's hexadecimal index number. Idk what it is for chimecho in 3rd Gen, but that's probably the reason why.
It's like Dec#001 being Rhydon despite it not being in the place of bulba in the pokedex.

Eeek... took me a while to confirm it. Online, they only wanna show hex index spreadsheets for 1st & 2nd Gen, and nothing else. Don't own a computer, so I had to screw around with a few online poke hex editors to get my answer. xD
Shiny Ebottian Eevee, your editor is showing the Pokemon by Dec# through a hexadecimal index, the old school way. Chimecho is close to the last on this sort of listing.
... probably due to the actual order GF made it for the game.
Depending on the editor itself, wether it's aimed more towards the ROM hacking end or just a standard editor for generating Pokemon via inject code.. they display the Pokemon rosters differently. Most I ran into, for the typical player, display it by the actual pokedex listing. But the further I was getting into programs that were aimed more towards ROM hacking, the Pokemon were displayed in order by it's hexadecimal, with Chimecho being almost at the end of the RSE list.
The only reason why know about this sort of stuff is because I ran so much arbitrary execution code in the past. Back in the day of 1st & 2nd Gen, hexadecimal indexes itself were a must if you wanted to execute almost anything at a whim.
