Footprints are the tracks left by a Pokémon. Each Pokémon has a unique footprint that is displayed in the Pokédex of every game since being introduced in Generation II. However, this is only applied to Pokémon with visible legs. Out of the 493 Pokémon in Generation IV, 108 (22%) do not have a footprint.
In the games
When a Pokémon is caught, its footprint is included in the data added to its entry and can be found on the first page. For those without a footprint, the area footprints are displayed on remains blank.
At the start of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, a School Kid initially blocks the entrance to Route 102 as he thinks he has found the footprints of a rare Pokémon there. It later turns out that they were his own.
