Most of the [[gift Pokémon]] are [[List of Pokémon by availability|obtainable]] only once per game. Some of these Pokémon (as well as their evolutions and previous evolutionary stages, if any) are not available anywhere else in the game, except by trades or transfers from other games, or by {{pkmn|breeding}} the gift Pokémon once it is obtained. Therefore, if the player loses any of these scarce gift Pokémon by either [[released Pokémon|releasing]] it or [[trade|trading]] it away without breeding it first, then it and its evolutionary family will not be available anywhere else in the current game.

For instance, in several Pokémon games, the only way to obtain an [[starter Pokémon]] of the current [[region]] (outside of trades and transfers from other games) is by choosing that starter at the beginning of the game. In some games (from {{game|Emerald}} onwards), it also possible to obtain one or more starter Pokémon from other regions as gifts. If the player releases it or trades it away without breeding it first, then that starter and its evolutions would be unavailable in the current game.

As another example, in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the player is able to choose between receiving a {{p|Hitmonlee}} or a {{p|Hitmonchan}}. The player may then breed it to obtain {{p|Tyrogue}}, which can evolve into either of these Pokémon, as well as into {{p|Hitmontop}}. If the player obtains Hitmonlee or Hitmonchan but then releases it or trades it away without breeding it, then the whole evolutionary family (Tyrogue, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, and Hitmontop) would be unavailable in the current game.
