Pokedex help?

Im so close to getting the Nat. dex and i was wondering, if i see a pokemon like totodile in the pokemon frontier, and i dont have the Nat. dex, once i get it, will totodile be in my national dex or do i have to see it again?

No, you must actually obtain a Totodile through some means to have it in the National Dex (breed from a Croconaw/Feraligatr or transfer from a GBA game). Any Pokemon seen in the Battle Frontier does NOT get added.

Also, you cannot access most of the Battle Zone (the island the Battle Frontier is on, you will still have access to the Fight Area and the Battle Frontier) unless you have the Sinnoh Dex full (pictures will be enough).

Pokemon you see in the Battle Frontier do not get added to your Pokedex, so you'll have to see it some other way.
