	'''Game-exclusive Pokémon''' ~~(also~~ commonly referred to as '''version-exclusive Pokémon''') are Pokémon that are only found in one or two games within a particular set, to encourage [[Trade\|trading]] between players. For example, between {{game\|Ruby and Sapphire\|s}}, {{p\|Mawile}} appears only in Ruby, while {{p\|Sableye}} appears only in Sapphire. Therefore, a player with Sapphire would not be able to obtain Mawile in-game and could trade with a player of Ruby to obtain one, and vice versa. Game-exclusive Pokémon usually complement each other in design, type, and location in the wild.

	It is typical for several [[List of Pokémon by evolution family\|evolutionary families]] of Pokémon to be game exclusives in the first two games of a set, and then in the third game, some (but not all) game-exclusives from the first two games will be obtainable while some Pokémon that could originally be in both of the first two games will be unobtainable in the third game. For example, the {{p\|Weedle}} and {{p\|Koffing}} families were obtainable in both {{game\|Red and Blue\|s}}, but unobtainable in {{game\|Yellow}}.
