Version Exclusive Pokémon are Pokémon that are missing from one or more games in a single Generation to encourage trading between multiple players. For instance, in the original Pokémon Red, Bellsprout was absent but appeared in Pokémon Blue. Version Exclusive Pokémon usually compliment eachother in design, type, and location of appearence in the wild.

Below is a list of Pokémon exclusive to games. This list does not take note of Pokémon exclusive between Generation III Kanto/Hoenn games, simply because there are too many to list. Take note that the Pokémon listed are MISSING from that particular game, and will need to be traded from a game that does not list them.
