'''Key items''' are special [[item]]s that players can only obtain once, that either aid the progression of the storyline, travelling or the access new areas. They rarely have anything to do with the player's [[Pokémon]] and are mostly specific to the different {{pkmn|games}}. The items cannot be bought or sold at [[Poké Marts]] or disposed of. Since [[Generation II]], these items have been given their own classification and have been stored in a seperate pocket in the [[bag]].
'''Key Items''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|大切|たいせつ}}なもの''' ''indispensable items'') are special [[item]]s that players can only obtain once, and tend to either aid the progression of the story or a specific task, allow access to new areas, give the player access to a certain mechanic, or affect the [[form]] changes of the player's {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. They are mostly specific to the different {{pkmn|games}}. They cannot be bought or sold at [[Poké Mart]]s, disposed of without fulfilling their purpose, or given to Pokémon to [[held item|hold]]. Key items cannot be stored in the [[PC]] in {{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}}. Since [[Generation II]], these items have been given their own classification, and have been stored in a separate pocket in the [[Bag]]. Some Key Items can also be [[Feature registration|registered]] to a button for use in the overworld.

Key items are not generally found lying around on the ground. They are usually obtained throughout the storyline and are given to the player by other people. Key Items cannot be disposed, bought, sold or held by Pokémon. Once a player has obtained a key item, there is no way of getting rid of it unless it is part of the main storyline. For example, the item [[Machine Part]] found in [[Kanto]] in [[Generation II]] as part of the mission to save the [[Power Plant]] could only be removed when the player had taken it back to the Plant and given it to the manager.

==Exchanging key items==
==Exchanging Key Items==
The exchanging of one key item for another has been present since [[Generation I]]: a [[Bike Voucher]], a seemingly useless item, was given to the player to exchange for a [[Bike]]. Key item exchanging can only happen once, with the exception of Pokémon [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby, Sapphire]] and [[Pokémon Emerald|Emerald]], in which the player can swap the two [[bike]]s (the [[Mach Bike]] and the [[Acro Bike]]) as they choose. In any case, only one or two items could be exchanged.
