Building Your Own Pokédex - Anyone Interested?

Nice! You did misspell several Pokémon (Gardevoir, Magmortar...), and also you forgot to include Rolycoly with the rest of its line, but all in all a fun composition.

Your starters are slow, mixed offensive Decidueye, fast special Typhlosion and slow special Empoleon - excellent, all unique in battle style. As for type composition, most of them are very evenly distributed, except for Ground, Rock, Bug and Steel, which are in short supply in this list. Feel free to beef up the number to 200 to add some more of them, if you want. I try to make it so that you could make a team of each type. Generation 1 dominates, with quite a lot of every other generation (mostly the first 5, but the latest ones are also well represented).

I see you have an additional starter in the middle of the dex - an unorthodox move to me, but X and Y, and Sword and Shield in particular do give precedent for that, and you certainly justified Incineroar's inclusion.

Nice idea for "Gym guards". I can imagine that being a fun region-specific gimmick here, and being of generally opposite type from the Gym could make for a challenge.

Thanks, I do well to spell first gen pokemon, minus Gyrados, which is probably wrong there, but after that I have to google...I will update as I go so far, I have alot of ideas for the region, such as including some other mythical creatures in pokemon form, such as Tauros and Miltank *Minotaur* MAybe even have them vastyly populating a specific island in the region (Knossos), and include an ancient labyrinth~ I will make the first corrections and then go from there, thank you for the advise and critiquing~
As for the starters, I might remove the extra one, seeing as it is a guard and you don't actually battle against it, but I felt that in certain regions, what is a starter in one, may not be as rare in another. Or it would be like the island scanner gimmick they did in sun, with a certain set of perimeters, you can catch some other region starters, I like that idea.
 
while making the dex, I included some custom mons I made, as well as a column for BST, just to make sure everything is balanced, thanks so much for the blank
