From [[Generation I]] until {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, each core series game was compatible with all the Pokémon species released to date, either from the current game itself or from the available trades, transfers, and events. In [[Generation III]], although it was initially impossible to legitimately collect all existing Pokémon due to the lack of connection with previous generations, those missing Pokémon eventually became available with new games in the same generation. However, from {{LGPE}} onwards, each new core series game has a limited pool of available Pokémon.

The [[starter Pokémon]] is given to the player at the start of their [[Pokémon journey]]. In most core series {{pkmn|games}} (except in {{game|Yellow}} and {{LGPE}}), the player can choose a {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Water}}-, or {{type|Grass}} starter Pokémon at [[level]] 5. At least one of the player's [[rival]]s will also always choose or have a starter Pokémon, which may either have a type advantage or disadvantage over the player's depending on the game.

In some cases, there are multiple Pokémon potentially available in a single game, but the player must choose one of them or otherwise can't get them all in a single game. They include many trios of [[starter Pokémon]], some [[Fossil]] Pokémon and in some cases [[Legendary Pokémon]].

For instance, the player is able to choose between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}} as their {{pkmn2|starter}} in {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red, Blue}}, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|FireRed and LeafGreen}}. The player may also choose one of these Pokémon as a gift given by [[Professor Oak]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold, SoulSilver}}, by [[Professor Sycamore]] in {{g|X and Y}}, and by [[Grand Oak]] in {{g|HOME}}.

Several pairs of games have enough Pokémon to complete their [[regional Pokédex]], except for some event-exclusive Pokémon. However, some games still may need to be restarted at least once to acquire all starters or other mutually exclusive Pokémon.

In {{game|Yellow}}, there is {{ga|Red's Pikachu|a single Pikachu}} available as the [[starter Pokémon]]. This {{p|Pikachu}} cannot [[evolve]] in the game where it was caught. However, it can evolve normally if traded to another game, and conversely, a Pikachu from another game can evolve normally in Yellow. Due to this, {{p|Raichu}} is unavailable in Pokémon Yellow outside of trades.

In the case of the [[Johto]] [[starter Pokémon]], the player can receive one of their choice in Emerald after obtaining all non-event Pokémon in the Hoenn Pokédex. Wild {{p|Surskit}} can only appear in Emerald in a [[mass outbreak]] after [[record mixing]] with Ruby or Sapphire.

Certain Pokémon that can be caught in Black 2 and White 2 are found only in the [[Nature Preserve]], which is only accessible by seeing all non-event Pokémon in the New Unova Pokédex (most notably, {{p|Magikarp}} and {{p|Gyarados}}, otherwise available only by purchasing a Magikarp from the [[Magikarp salesman]], are available to catch at the Nature Preserve). Accessing the Nature Preserve requires trading, as it is impossible to see all stages of whichever starter was not picked by the player nor by [[Hugh]], as well as some of the version-exclusive Pokémon not being used by any NPC Trainers.

Additionally, several {{OBP|List of in-game event Pokémon|Legends: Arceus|in-game event Pokémon}} are Shiny-locked, but can be captured in the wild Shiny.

A selection of Pokémon can only be obtained in-game via rare spawns in [[Space-time distortion|Space-time distortions]], making their alpha, in-game Shiny, and Shiny alpha forms generally considered the rarest to collect in the game.

In {{g|GO}}, as part of its [[Size_and_weight_variation#Pokémon GO|size variation]] mechanic, XXS and XXL Pokémon each have a 1 in 250 chance to be generated. When one of these extreme-sized Pokémon is obtained and transferred to {{g|HOME}} and then into {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, both its height and weight scalar values are set to either 0 or 255, depending on whether it was initially XXS or XXL, respectively. This results in the specimen having the minimum or maximum possible in-game height and weight for its species (or form). In contrast, generation of both of these values for a native Pokémon in Legends: Arceus has less than a 1 in 250 million chance to occur—albeit due to a lack of display precision, additional values may also give the minimum and maximum possible measurements depending on the Pokémon species/form.
