'''Version-exclusive Pokémon''' are Pokémon that are only found in one or two games in a single [[generation]], to encourage trading between multiple players. For instance, in the original {{game3|Red and Green|Pokémon Red|s}}, {{p|Bellsprout}} was absent but appeared in {{game3|Red and Green|Pokémon Green|s}} ({{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Blue|s}} outside Japan). Version-exclusive Pokémon usually complement each other in design, type, as well as location of appearance in the wild. | '''Version-exclusive Pokémon''' are Pokémon that are only found in one or two games in a single [[generation]], to encourage trading between multiple players.

For example, the {{p|Weedle}} and {{p|Koffing}} families were obtainable in both {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, but unobtainable in {{game|Yellow}}. | ||
Below is a list of Pokémon exclusive to games. This list does not take note of Pokémon exclusive between [[Generation III]] [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]] games, simply because there are too many Pokémon that are native to each individual region to list; a better indicator of those Pokémon which are missing from each region would be the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]]. However, even this does not take {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} into account, since the vast majority thereof is only listed in the [[National Pokédex|National Pokédex]] of those games. Furthermore, a list of Pokémon missing from the Generation III GameCube games, [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{Pokémon XD}}, is far too long to be included in this context. | Below is a list of Pokémon exclusive to games.
