** In particular, the early cards with the Japanese entries shared by {{game|Red and Green|s}} (which had no official English translation) use the English entries from {{game|Red and Blue|s}} instead.

** As an exception, the Pokémon cards from the {{TCG|Double Crisis}} expansion feature original Pokédex entries instead of entries from the games.
**Exceptions to this include:
***The Pokémon cards from the {{TCG|Double Crisis}} expansion feature original Pokédex entries narrated by [[Team Magma Grunt]]s and [[Team Aqua Grunt]]s instead of entries from the games.
***[[Secret card]]s from the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|Black & White Series]] depicting [[Shiny Pokémon]] all share an entry relating to their shininess and rarity.
****The {{TCG ID|Noble Victories|Meowth|102}} and {{TCG ID|Black & White|Pikachu|115}} secret cards from the Black & White Series have new entries relating to their rarity. They are not Shiny Pokémon, but likely instead reference their absence from the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number (Black and White)|Unova Pokédex]].
***[[Flying Pikachu]] and [[Surfing Pikachu]] never reuse Pokédex entires from the games, as those Pokémon are not forms with distinct Pokédex entries in the games.
***[[Pikachu (SVP Promo 27)]] has unique flavor text relating to its art and the presence of [[Fuecoco]], [[Quaxly]], and [[Sprigatito]].
