-During the history of Pokémon games, several [[event Pokémon]] given away have been set to show them as received in a '''fateful encounter''', as opposed to a normal capture. Regarding the capture location, in Generation III, there was only one "Fateful encounter" location for event Pokémon, whereas in Generation IV, more locations were added to specifically recognize from which event the received Pokémon are.
+A '''fateful encounter''' (Japanese: '''うんめいてき であい''' ''destined meeting'') is a flag attached to certain [[event Pokémon]] and some event-exclusive {{pkmn2|wild}} [[legendary Pokémon]] that indicates they were met in a special manner. In Generation III, "fateful encounter" was listed as the encounter location; in Generation IV and on, "fateful encounter" is in the text describing the method of encounter.
-Fateful encounters, however, can also refer to a special flag set to said Pokémon that gives the player access to special features while the Pokémon is in the party. In Generation III, this flag is set for any {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Deoxys}} received from events, as well as the Deoxys caught in [[Birth Island]] and the Mew captured in [[Faraway Island]]. Moreover, any Pokémon obtained in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|XD]] will have this special flag set. Without it, it is impossible for these Pokémon to obey the player, even if he or she has obtained all [[Badge]]s.
+However, "fateful encounter" does not always appear in the text of Pokémon with this flag set in Generations III and IV. In Generation III, this flag is set for any {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Deoxys}} received from events, as well as the Deoxys caught on [[Birth Island]] and the Mew caught on [[Faraway Island]]. Moreover, any Pokémon obtained in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] or {{Pokémon XD}} will have this special flag set. Without it, it is impossible for these Pokémon to obey the player, even if he or she has obtained all [[Badge]]s.
-In Generation IV, the presence of this flag, from {{game|Platinum}} onward, allows for special events to happen if the Pokémon with the Fateful encounter flag is in the party.

 ==Trivia==
 * 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.
