* It is not possible to collect any foreign Pokédex entries of any [[Generation IV]] Pokémon in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} even though this feature of the [[Pokémon games]] debuted in those games. This may be due to the entries not having been translated into other languages yet. This is addressed in {{game|Platinum}}, where foreign Pokédex entries for all Pokémon are present, and are also present in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and {{game|Black and White|s}}.

* A [[Global Terminal|GTS]] event in 2007 involved foreign Pokémon, allowing players to trade an American {{p|Ponyta}} for a Japanese {{DL|List of GTS event Pokémon|Psyduck}} and a Japanese {{p|Roselia}} for an American {{DL|List of GTS event Pokémon|Heracross}}.

* It is possible to become stranded on the Meister's island after trading with him. If the traded Finneon was the only member of the player's party that could learn {{m|Surf}}, and no Pokémon in the player's party have {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Fly}}, or {{m|Teleport}}, the only ways to leave would be by fainting in a fishing battle to return to the last Pokémon Center or by levelling up "Foppa" (by fishing for battles or using Rare Candies) until it evolves and can learn Surf as a Gyarados. As it is possible to progress through the game fully without picking up ''any'' [[fishing]] rods and to reach the island without having any Poké Balls or Rare Candies, players can become stranded on the island until they restart their game or use a [[cheating|cheat code]] to leave.
* It is possible for the {{player}} to become stranded on the Meister's island after trading with him. This can only happen if the player's traded Finneon is the sole Pokémon in their party able to learn {{m|Surf}} (which is used to reach the island) while no Pokémon in the party can learn {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Teleport}}. Once the Meister's Magikarp has been received, the player no longer can access a [[field move]] to leave the island; ways out include using [[Rare Candies]] to [[evolve]] Magikarp into {{p|Gyarados}} who can learn Surf, [[fishing|fish]] for battles and catch a Pokémon who can learn Surf, use said battles to give Magikarp enough [[experience]] to evolve, or deliberately use said battles to cause all the player's Pokémon to faint, returning them to the last Pokémon Center. However, it is possible to block off all of these methods as well: the player can progress through the game without being required to pick up any [[fishing rod]]s, and the player can reach the island with no [[Poké Balls]] or Rare Candies in their Bag. Note that this requires receiving Finneon from a [[trade]] from another game. With all of this set up, players can become forever stuck on the island until they either restart their game or [[cheating|cheat]] to leave.
* The Meister's [[Trainer ID number]] is 53277.

* It is possible that the reasons why any Pokémon traded from Korean language cartridges of the fourth generation games do not maintain their original names in their own languages once they are traded into the English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, or the Japanese versions is because none of these versions support any languages outside of the six given languages. This is also why they do not appear in the foreign language categories in the Pokédex. This was fixed in [[Generation V]].
* In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the Meister's speech contains a French grammatical error; the words "Je suis desolee" should be "Je suis desolé".
