Well back in Generation IV, the one you saw first was the one that was your preview image, and that was set. If you saw a female Pikachu first, that's the Pikachu that you would always see first in your Pokédex. I was always really specific about seeing Pokémon in a Male/Female order rather than Female/Male, even if that Pokémon didn't have gender differences. I would specifically encounter the Unown in alphabetical order, soft resetting and saving over and over again until I achieved this. Luckily, in Generation V, they updated the Pokédex so that you could switch the preview image to whatever you want (and it would always properly order itself), and it's been like that in every game since. It improved even further in Generation VII where if a Pokémon doesn't have gender differences, it'll just acknowledge that both genders look the same instead of having to hunt them down to have that extra "male" or "female" picture.
But there is ONE Pokémon that is borderline IMPOSSIBLE to get the "default" image for, and it's been like that since Generation III when it was introduced.
I'm talking about the Pokémon with literally 4,294,967,296 different variations (possibly twice that including shininess), that piece of trash known as Spinda. Knowing that I'll always have some arbitrary pattern in my Pokédex bothers me so much. I've always wanted to obtain the PERFECT Spinda, the one that's #0, the one with the PID of 00000000. I've avoided Spinda in every game it appears in, avoiding potential trainers and wild encounters so that it never appears in my Pokédex. I want to shiny hunt in Sun, but Spinda is the single Pokémon I have to avoid, meaning I can't get the Shiny Charm.
