* Even though the term "National Pokédex" was introduced in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, it was originally not yet possible to unlock the National Pokédex in those games since this would require trading with other games released later in the same generation.
* In some games, it was not possible to complete the National Pokédex at the time of their release:
** In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]], completing the National Pokédex was not possible until the release of {{game|Emerald}}. This last game included some Pokémon missing from the earlier games of this generation.
** In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black and White]], completing the National Pokédex would require catching {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}}, which were event-only at the time.
* Because the [[Legendary titans]] can be encountered after defeating [[Cynthia]] but before acquiring National Pokédex in {{game|Platinum}}, it is the only occasion where Pokémon not included in the [[regional Pokédex]] can be encountered before the National Pokédex is unlocked in games with National Pokédex outside of {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, where such situation is common.
