	'''Game-exclusive Pokémon''', ~~commonly referred to by fans~~ 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.

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