* 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 originally not possible to complete the National Pokédex since some Pokémon remained [[Pokémon availability|unavailable]] for some time:
* In Generations {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VI}} it is possible to complete the National Pokédex (Kanto Pokédex in Generation I) entirely with Pokémon obtained in the [[core series]] games of the current generation.
** In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], completing the National Pokédex was not possible until the release of {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}.
** In Generations {{gen|II}}, {{gen|IV}} and {{gen|V}}, completing the National Pokédex (Old Pokédex in Generation II) requires Pokémon obtained in games from previous generations.
** 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 prior to the release of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]].
* In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, completing the National Pokédex was not possible until the release of [[Pokémon Colosseum]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]] since there was no feature to [[transfer]] Pokémon from earlier generations.
** In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black and White]], completing the National Pokédex with no [[event Pokémon|event-only Pokémon]] was not possible prior to the release of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]. This requires catching {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}}, which were event-only in Black and White, but are normally available in Black 2 and White 2.
* 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.
