What's Pokemon 684 in Generation 5?
I was surfing Bulbapedia for obscure Pokemon trivia (like how I spend most of my life) when I found something weird.This pagesaid Smeargle had two index numbers, 235 and 684. Recall that there were only 649 Pokemon in Generation 5. The menu sprite next the second Smeargle was a Manaphy egg, but it links to Smeargle’s article. Some articles hint that Smeargle is a Pokestar Studios opponent, but none of them explain why they had to make a separate index number for it.

As I mentioned the other day I’m 99% positive it’s because Smeargale has an alternate sprite in the Love and Battle Series featured in Pokestar Studios, which can be seen below:
As you can see Smeargale has a red bow tie around it’s neck and it is one of only two Pokemon I’m aware of that has another sprite in Pokestar Studios, the other being Ledian.
However the reason why Ledian isn’t apart of thislistis because the Ledian in question is actually a trainer and you do not battle it specifically. Here is the alternate sprite for the Ledian which can be encountered in the Timegate Traveler Series:
