== Fix unnecessary letters ==
I'd like to suggest Scarlet and Violet's abbreviations from "Sc" and "Vi" to simply "S" and "V". It was good for Sword and Shield since they start with the same letter, but Scarlet and Violet don't.[[User:PinkYoshiGaming|PinkYoshiGaming]] ([[User talk:PinkYoshiGaming|talk]]) 04:11, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
== Remove Pokemon evolved via trading only? ==
Would it make more sense to remove Pokemon that can only be evolved into via trading and not available via other means in a game? Requiring trading in some way to acquire kinda defeats the point of being exclusive to a version without trading. Probably worth noting that in all paired versions other than B2W2 (unless I missed something in SV), the version-exclusive mons do not include any evolutions that can only be acquired via trading within the corresponding regional dex (Slowking and Scizor are not in the regional dex in FRLG and DP, for example) {{unsigned|Fortranm}}
:Remove Pokémon such as Electivire?
:I always think of version-exclusive Pokémon as those that I can acquire if I and all of my friends only had this version. As in, not limited to one copy, but limited to one version. (Otherwise, would Golem etc. be all considered version-exclusive?) Removing them would defeat that purpose, at least.

::Golem wouldn't be because it's equally unavailable on all versions in question in this sense :P
::Except in Japanese Blue and SM where you can get one via in-game trading, which could easily add more meaningful information to the page once the difference is pointed out, in fact --[[User:Fortranm|Fortranm]] ([[User talk:Fortranm|talk]]) 18:36, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
== Merge SM and USUM? ==
It makes sense to merge SM and USUM since the later is the upper version of the former and cases like these share the same chart in the first 4 generations. One additional notable thing could be that Golem can be acquired within the game in SM but not in USUM due to in-game-trading (and Trevenant is available in SM via other means). --[[User:Fortranm|Fortranm]] ([[User talk:Fortranm|talk]]) 08:05, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
:That's worth considering, I believe. The templates would need to be edited, but I don't really have any counterargument here. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 12:35, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
== Missing Black 2/White 2 exclusives ==
I would add them myself, but the page appears to be protected. Checking the Locations section of each Pokemon's page will confirm that this list is accurate.
Black 2 only: Weedle, Kakuna, Beedrill, Spinarak, Ariados, Sudowoodo, Plusle, Bonsly
White 2 only: Caterpie, Metapod, Butterfree, Mr. Mime, Ledyba, Ledian, Minun, Mime Jr.

== Gen 4 - dual-slot mode and HG/SS Latias/Latios ==
In gen 4, I think the Electabuzz, Magmar, and Gligar lines should be added as Platinum version-exclusives. They are obtainable in Diamond and Pearl only via Dual-Slot mode (using Fire Red, Leaf Green, and Emerald respectively), whereas in Platinum they can be caught without the use of another game cartridge. I would add these evolution lines to the table, plus a bullet point at the bottom explaining that they are obtainable in Diamond/Pearl via dual-slot mode with the appropriate game.
Also, Latias/Latios should be added as Heart Gold/Soul Silver version-exclusives. It's only possible to obtain the other Lati twin with the event item Enigma Stone. This is similar to the situation in Ruby/Sapphire, where the Eon Ticket was necessary. Latios/Latias are listed as version-exclusives in the Ruby and Sapphire section, with a bullet point mentioning the event item. I propose to do the same for HG/SS.
If someone else agrees with either/both of these, I'll make the edit(s).

== Where is Swirlix and Spritzee? ==
They are both exclusive
