Forum-Index → Suggestions → Rejected → by lettersThe code for the pokemon sprites are by dex number not by names,
Therefore to make this change the coding for every pokemon needs to be rearranged, to include both dex and pokemon name that could also screw a few things around.
Its just too much effort in my opinion with little gain.
edit:
example this is the source code for a charizard (the 06 at the end is the dex number)

They're already placed in dex-order. I don't see the point of having them sorted alphabetically.

I understand frustration in trying to find a Pokemon you know the name of but not the dex number, however if you know the name it could be an easy search for the dex number in google to find it or just scroll through the box for the select Pokemon you need.
I find it more organized in general to be by dex number, I wouldn't want different gen Pokemon being all mixed up in my Pokedex box just because of the name.
