* In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the Shaymin that is captured in the [[Flower Paradise]] will not be a fateful encounter Shaymin, while in {{game|Platinum}}, it will be. This was likely implemented due to the [[tweaking]] and [[Surf glitch]]es, which allow access to Shaymin in Diamond and Pearl, while this was removed in Platinum. Due to the way receipt and use of the Gracidea is programmed, if the Platinum Shaymin were not given this status, despite being able to be legitimately obtained with [[Oak's Letter]], it would not be able to transform into Sky Forme.

* It was once believed that a fateful encounter flag was needed to be set on a {{p|Jirachi}} in order to activate the {{pw|Night Sky's Edge}} [[Pokéwalker]] route; indeed, events where such Jirachi were distributed advertised such an unlockable. However, it was later discovered that any Jirachi at all, even those hacked through devices such as an [[Action Replay]] or transferred from [[Generation III]], was capable of unlocking the route even without the fateful encounter flag.
