List of unobtainable items: Difference between revisions

This article is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this article to add missing information and complete it. Reason: information for Generations III and V

This is a list of all items that appear in the coding of Pokémon games, but are not available for whatever reason. This does not include key items which remain in the code between the main Generation III and Generation IV games and the remakes of the Generation I and Generation II games, such as the Go-Goggles in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, but instead items that are not available in any of the games of their generation, unless the key item became available only in games after it appeared in another earlier game in the same generation, such as the S.S. Ticket. Their sprites and bag descriptions remain; however, they are unobtainable and will have no use whatsoever if they are hacked into the bag.
