*Prior to [[Generation V]], since the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} received in an in-game trade is the same [[level]] as the Pokémon traded for it, it is [[Underleveled Pokémon#Underleveled Pokémon from in-game trade|sometimes possible]] to receive a Pokémon at a [[Underleveled Pokémon|lower level]] than normally possible.

*In {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, four Pokémon are exclusive to in-game trades: {{p|Lickitung}}, {{p|Jynx}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, and {{p|Mr. Mime}}.

**In [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese Pokémon Blue]], Lickitung and Jynx were made available in the wild. In {{game|Yellow}}, Lickitung and Farfetch'd were made available in the wild as well. Therefore, Mr. Mime (in all languages) and Jynx (in languages other than Japanese) remained unavailable in the wild until [[Generation II]].

** Due to being exclusive to in-game trades, until the release of later games in which they could be obtained in the wild, they could only have their traded nicknames and the Original Trainer of "TRAINER".

*In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, the {{tc|Scientist}} at the [[Cinnabar Lab|Pokémon Lab]] on [[Cinnabar Island]] who [[trade]]s {{p|Electrode}} for {{p|Raichu}} claims that Raichu evolved, which is not possible. This is due to a context-ignorant translation of the Japanese {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} text, in which the player trades {{p|Kadabra}} for {{p|Graveler}}, both of which [[Evolution|evolve]] by trade

** Similarly, the old man who trades the player {{p|Jynx}} for {{p|Poliwhirl}} in [[Cerulean City]] claims that Poliwhirl "went and evolved". Poliwhirl does not evolve by trade in the [[Generation I]] games but rather through the use of a [[Water Stone]]. In the context of the Japanese Pokémon Blue, the old man trades away {{p|Haunter}} for {{p|Machoke}}, both of which evolve by trade.

* In {{game|Crystal}}, even if the player has their {{p|Haunter}} hold an [[Everstone]] and trades it for Chris's {{p|Xatu}} "Paul", Chris will still comment that it evolved into {{p|Gengar}}.
* In {{game|Crystal}}, once the player trades a {{p|Haunter}} for Chris's {{p|Xatu}} "Paul" in [[Pewter City]], Chris comments after the trade ''"Uh? What happened?"'', and then in later interactions ''"Trading is so odd... I still have a lot to learn about it."'' Although it is not explicitly said, Chris's surprise may suggest that Haunter evolved into {{p|Gengar}}. However, this dialogue does not change even if the player trades this Haunter holding an [[Everstone]], which would normally prevent this evolution.
*In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Elyssa and Darrell's names do not traditionally match their genders. Since their names are switched in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|the games' remakes]], it is likely this was a mistake.
** In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the player can trade a {{p|Haunter}} for Mondo's {{p|Xatu}} "Paul" in [[Pewter City]]. However, after the trade, Mondo says instead: ''"How wonderful! You made my day! Thanks to you, I have finally got the Pokémon I’ve been looking for... since forever!"'' It is not explicitly said if Haunter evolved into Gengar. As in the previous game, Mondo's dialogue does not change if Haunter is traded holding an [[Everstone]].
*Pokémon received from in-game trades in the [[Generation VI]] and {{gen|VIII}} games have [[Memory (game mechanic)|memories]] set. For example, in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the Togepi the player can trade for has the memory "Snips hatched from an Egg and saw Holly for the first time in a castle".
* In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Elyssa and Darrell's names do not traditionally match their genders. Since their names are switched in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|the games' remakes]], it is likely this was a mistake.
*Kapoor's name and {{tc|Artist}} Trainer class are likely a reference to British artist {{wp|Anish Kapoor}}. The {{p|Duraludon}} he trades furthers this reference, since the real-life Kapoor has worked on numerous architectural projects.

*In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, it is possible to become permanently trapped if the player trades away Finneon for Meister's Magikarp and has nothing else in their party that can learn {{m|Surf}} or {{m|Fly}}, as well as no [[Rare Candy|Rare Candies]] to evolve Magikarp, or [[fishing|fishing rods]] to [[black out]] or evolve Magikarp.
