'''Version-exclusive Pokémon''' are Pokémon that are only found in one or two games | '''Version-exclusive Pokémon''' are Pokémon that are only found in one or two games within a particular set, to encourage trading between players. For example, in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, {{p|Seedot}} appeared only in Ruby, while {{p|Lotad}} appeared only in Sapphire. Therefore, a player with Ruby would not be able to obtain Lotad without trading with a player of Sapphire, and vice versa. Version-exclusive Pokémon usually complement each other in design, type, and location in the wild. | ||

For example, the {{p|Weedle}} and {{p|Koffing}} families were obtainable in both {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, but unobtainable in {{game|Yellow}}. | ||

The games are separated into sets, meaning that for example, {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} will be grouped together, and any Pokémon will be listed that appears in only one or two of those three games. Not all games in a given generation will be in the same set, as this would tend to cause extremely long lists between games in different regions with different [[regional Pokédex]]es. | ||
Notably, in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, most of the version exclusives of the [[Generation III]] games can be caught in the wild by [[dual-slot mode|inserting its respective GBA cartridge into the DS]]. In Pokémon XD, the seven Pokémon that appear in {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby or Sapphire|s}} but not in Emerald are all obtainable; thus a player of Emerald can complete the Hoenn Pokédex by trading with just one other game instead of two. | |||
