I was thinking this was the main reason, too. Especially considering B/W only had Unovan Pokemon in the dex before the post-game and being able to glimpse the end of the dex before the third gym would ruin some of the surprise.

I remember it being pretty heavily marketed prior to release that Unova would have added ~150 all new Pokémon (in homage to the original 151). Granted, Unova added 152 total non-mythicals, but it wasn't as if they were trying to be secretive about the fact they were adding a new batch of ~150 Pokémon.

Victini could also be a representation of nuclear energy hear me out : he's the "never-ending flame" with "unlimited energy" just like nuclear powerplants (the flame is metaphorical obviously nuclear powerplants don't use fire). It also symbolizes victory over the darkness as the energy it provides light up your house. Finally, it could also be seen as nuclear warfare, it always brings victory in the meaning of "whatever happens, my opponent is dead anyway so I win". Also you could argue the psychic type is a reflection of the impact on mentality nuclear energy had and still has. Maybe that's not the "correct" "mainstream" interpretation but I personally like this darker interpretation.

That theory was very popular around the time it released, and its move V-Create just supported it. Lockstin was probably stealth-referencing it when he talked about V-Day and the bomb.

[@KingChiggy]

I think, considering Gen 5 was thought of as a soft reboot, they wanted to make a mythical that kinda followed along the lines of Mew in gen 1: a complete mystery. If you didnt know what the dex number for it would be, you wouldnt even know it existed, and the fact that Liberty Garden is even mentioned and I think you can even see it but not go there kinda bring back the idea of the truck by the SS Anne.

[@lillith7257]

it did, it really did. There was so much mystery involving it and Castelia.

[@varnasblade]

You brought up the idea of war a lot so allow me to propose the 000 being somewhat similar to the lack of rank of the Guards of the Unknown Soldier. Who guard the monument with no rank so that they can never outrank any missing soldier. The best of the best with no rank at all.

[@amesstarline5482]

Since you mention rabbits, let me remind that the Japanese word for Rabbit is Usagi. It's a USA-Usagi, along the lines of the similarly rabbit-like D4C. (That and 0 also fits the nature/technology duality. 0 is often where codes begin their values, not 1.) U and V used to be the same letter, so I guess it also has its own duality.

[@Rioluman10]

Yeah, I was about to say that it could just be that the creators of the unovan dex didn't want to do index arithmetic.

[@mantis638]

I have a theory on why it is 0. When someone from another country, the first thing that they see when boating into New York was the Statue of Liberty. So, maybe it was used similarly to represent people entering the region by using Victini. I know this is probably far fetched, but it could be a possibility.

I always believed that Victini's place in the pokedex was there to prevent the MissingNO glitch by having an Actual pokemon at the number 000

[@lillith7257]

if true, brilliant. The Gen 5 games are the LEAST glitchy games by far. Hilariously Gen 6 starts the trend of haphazardly put together games all over again. (first time we see Missingno again)

[@kallyle6611]

You know, a lot people back in the day actually considered Victini being a wholesale MissingNo reference, particularly the international version obtained with the Old Man Trick, due to several similarities between the two.

[@Tea_Mist]

I always saw Victini's numbering as a play on the old saying of "Victory above all" or "Victory over all" Because Victinie is "above/over" all other pokemon in their generation.

[@Gochen86]

I've always believed the reason for Victini being designated as #0 in the Unova Dex is because the number zero is sometimes used to represent infinity. A zero is just a circle, after all, and a circle has no defined beginning or end, and is therefore an "eternal" shape, representing infinite possibilities. In that manner, coupled with the Dex entry about Victini having an internal source of infinite energy, it makes sense to have it as #0 in it's Regional Dex.

[@ArceusDX]

Basically number 0 for the same reason N is called N, s'all to do with maths

[@lillith7257]

also did you know the numbers had to do with what angles you could get from them? 1 gave 1 angle in its shape. 2 gave 2 and so on. 0 being angle-less as the O or Oval shape, therefore valueless. The value hinged on the angles.

[@Luffy453]

My theory back in the day was that Victini was the first Pokémon the Unovan settlers saw when arriving at the shore. Thus building at that place the Liberty Garden. (to me it was akin to the moment, Ash saw a flying Ho-Oh in Episode 1, something like that)

Another potential reason for the number could be to symbolize infinite potential, since thats effectively what Victini's power is.

[@lordender525]

I was surprised that you didn't bring up that fact that is a Mew reference. Mew was the secret optional pokémon that looks like a cute furry animal and that that came after all of the others in the pokedex, Victiny thus is the secret optional pokémon that looks like a cute furry animal and that comes before all of the others in the pokedex.

Victini is one of my favorite Pokémon for a very special reason. Before I really got into the Pokémon fandom I was at a game store with my dad and some of his gaming friends. I went to the counter with one of these friends (a lovely lady who gives the best hugs) to buy some snacks or a drink when I saw a container of tiny Pokémon figures. Put together, they were all so colorful that I couldn't take my eyes off them. Plus, I've always had a fascination for tiny things. The lady noticed this and offered to buy me one. I chose randomly and got Victini. I still have the figure. It's really cheap and low quality, but it has sentimental value and I often carried it in my pencil case at school as a lucky charm because of its lucky abilities in the game's lore.

[@relicking9207]

I think Victini being number 0 might also be in reference to computers starting at 0, combined with being the winner of a thing getting first place. Unlikely? Sure, but not impossible

[@GiantMoth]

Since Victini is constantly shown in peril, storywise, both in the anime and the game so I actually originally misread the "victory pokemon" part of its pokedex as the "victim pokemon"

[@barkumo]

I always figured Victini came first because it was the only mythical that we ever got at the very launch of a new generation. This meant that players were meant to have it at the start of their adventure rather than at the end, so it made sense to have it earlier in the pokédex. This may be a coincidence but I also felt that it gave Arceus a special place being sandwiched between two mythicals, not allowing "basic" pokémon to touch it in the national dex.

[@kiritotheabridgedgod4178]

It still confuses me that it's the "National Dex" not the "International Dex" given that the Regions may as well be their own countries in the pokemon universe.

[@TheWrathAbove]

[@NathanTruby]

Another theory for why Victini was assigned as number 0 could be that it was to prevent trainers from going after it. Being trapped by Team Plasma for so long would make it distrustful towards humans and more likely to attack them, so it was given number 0 to fool trainers into thinking there were no more pokemon to catch.

[@ChaosBeat-ks9zv]

I've always thought Victini was #000 simply because it's technically available really early on in the BW (I think before the 3rd gym) so if they put it at the end with the other legendaries the player would be left with a ton of empty dex entries they'd have to scroll through to reach it

[@legogary915]

[@AceTrainerX3]

I've read several theories from way back when I was in Middle School (good god, that was almost 10 years ago) that Victini being number 000 in the Unova Dex is somehow a reference to Missingno. in Gen 1 being number 000 in the Kanto dex. But seeing as Missingno. was clearly not meant to be anything but garbage data, I didn't really believe it back then. And I still don't.

[@badpunking1883]

I always heard it was because they made Victini specifically for the movie and for some reason related to how late in game development Black & White were they couldn't have Victini be the last one in the unova dex so they made it the 0th instead.

[@TheZoruaKid]

With the rabbit thing, i think its a parellel to Luck or Fortune rather than Victory like most other things at play here, since some victories do come through a sheer stroke of luck, plus its a good way to explain how the dex entry mentioning the trainer with it always wins. Maybe instead of its blessing them with the power or energy needed to win, it quite literally shapes the world and changes random chance in your favor so that you always do? That'd be pretty well represented by a rabbit imo.

[@johnnyp1986]

I think Victini was simply placed as the 000 Pokémon because you receive it through the event at the beginning of the game and so since legends and mythicals are usually way later in the Pokédex, they didn’t want you having all those empty entries in your Pokédex since you’re still in the early game. It’s literally just a technical reason. Ever since Gen 5 they haven’t released a mythical as an early purchase bonus and just release them later on.

Victini is a rabbit because rabbit's feet are said to be lucky (I think sometimes the rabbit itself and not just the feet) but there's another reason why, lady luck and lady liberty, it fits. Yes luck plays a part in Victory and its ability only further helps bring luck given iirc, it boosts the accuracy of moves. (Even if am recalling wrong there, luck is still part of victory so the lady luck bit still fits) It being an Apple sliced rabbit though is likely to make it a cute mythical and more so that kids would enjoy.

[@tuney7319]

Rabbits do symbolise good luck, and people used to cut rabbit legs for good luck, it’s a popular trope such as oswald the lucky rabbit, and obviously a pokemon that allows you to win any battle would be associated with good luck.

[@justmodnow]

I get the feel from the event text that the reason (in-universe at least) was that the professor knew "well there's only the one Victini in the world so we'll make it number 0 to hide it. That way, all the other kids who do their journey can still complete the dex, but you who actually got it completed it better."

[@ThaDocta0623]

I thought Victini and it’s Fire/Psychic typing as well as it’s dex entry was in reference to the Atomic Bomb. Because it was used by the USA which Unova is based off of a city from, and because those bombs were what brought ‘Victory’ to the allied forces. And I always assumed Victini was number 000 and put in front of the grass starter as a way for it to be “up front” and/or “in your face” so as not to let Americans forget that we first dropped the bomb. But being first to do such a thing isn’t something really to be proud of so it doesn’t get a number 1, but the number 0. In fact I feel like I saw a L&G episode that described it this way before.

The way I always interpreted what Juniper said was that they designated Victini as number 0 to keep its existence hidden from people (like Team Plasma) who’d use its unlimited power for evil. That’s the reason Victini was kept in Liberty Garden, ironically having its liberty taken away. Once you find it and save it from Team Plasma, who also found it, Victini’s existence could no longer be hidden. Therefore, Juniper (and the hordes of police officers with her) let you keep it.
