From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
This is a list of all the key items that are found in Generation III. Please note that some of these are also part of the list of key items in Generation I due to Pokémon Red and Green being remade, and several appear in multiple generations.
Some items are specific to a certain region, while others can be found in both Kanto and Hoenn. Through hacking, Hoenn-exclusive key items can be obtained (though they will have no use) in the Kanto-based games, while Kanto-exclusive key items can be obtained in Emerald (likewise to no use). The Mach Bike and Acro Bike, though they can be used as the normal Bicycle in FireRed and LeafGreen, will not be recognized by the game as the Bicycle, and so will not allow the player to enter Cycling Road normally. The normal Bicycle, however, cannot be used in Emerald at all. All items, regardless of being legitimately obtainable or not, will have an item description and, from FireRed and LeafGreen onward, a sprite.
This list includes only key items from the Game Boy Advance games. For lists of key items in each of the Nintendo GameCube games, see List of key items in Pokémon Colosseum and List of key items in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
