 Starting with Generation IV, mid-generation releases started including new moves, items, forms, or even species of Pokémon. Since, prior to Generation VIII, they were impossible to trade to games that predate them, additional limitations have been put in place for them specifically. Most can be circumvented by altering the Pokémon's moveset, held item and/or form, and with the exception of the [[Spiky-eared Pichu]]-related limitation, all of them have been lifted in their respective following Generations:
-* In Generation IV or V, new forms or items cannot be traded at all, even between games that support them. They include:

-* In Generation VI and VII ([[3DS]] games only), Pokémon with new moves, as well as new forms, items, and species can be freely traded between games that support them, but cannot be sent back to those that predate them:
-** Introduced in {{game|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|s}}, cannot be traded to {{game|X and Y|s}}:

-*** Pokémon with {{m|Precipice Blades}}, {{m|Origin Pulse}}, {{m|Dragon Ascent}} and {{m|Hyperspace Fury}} can only be traded to X and Y if those moves are forgotten.
-** Introduced in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, cannot be traded to {{g|Sun and Moon}}:
-*** New species introduced in the games: {{p|Poipole}}, {{p|Naganadel}}, {{p|Stakataka}}, {{p|Blacephalon}}, and {{p|Zeraora}}.
-*** Partner Cap Pikachu, Rockruff with {{a|Own Tempo}} (which the game considers to be a new form) and Dusk Form Lycanroc.
-*** Pokémon with {{m|Mind Blown}}, {{m|Plasma Fists}}, and {{m|Photon Geyser}} can only be traded to Sun and Moon if those moves are forgotten.
-Starting with [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the games stopped supporting direct trades between games that aren't paired releases entirely, rendering this matter moot. Also, starting with {{game|Sword and Shield|s}}, they can receive support for new moves, items, forms, and species via updates, removing the need for such limitations as long as they are kept up-to-date.

+DLC packs for {{game|Sword and Shield|s}} and {{game|Scarlet and Violet|s}} that introduce new moves, items, forms, and species, also come with free compatibility updates that are installed regardless of the purchase of said DLC, avoiding this issue completely.
