Game mascot
A version mascot is a Pokémon that appears on the boxart - and often label - of one of the Pokémon games in the main series.
Usually, the first two version mascots in a generation will have more of a relation to each other than the third, however, in the Hoenn and Sinnoh trilogies, all three had a significant relationship shared among them.
