Some things I don't wanna forget, but I'm probably not gonna work on soon.

Game locations

Arceus (Pokémon)#Game locations is a good example of a problem in our terminology/presentation.

Fundamentally, noting an unreleased method is awkward as hell. I'm not sure how we could do it super clearly, but I'd love if we could find a good way to be very clear that this is impossible by legitimate means. (Hover text isn't good enough.)

"Unobtainable" also isn't clear enough at first. The only reason I'm honestly sure what it means here is because LGPE "obviously" doesn't include any post-Gen I Pokemon. We should really be clearer about "this isn't even possible to hack into the games (or trade or whatever)".

The last thing to mention is "unreleased", which I think only happens for Mythicals and stuff when a game is new. (They're "in the game", hackable or something, but there's no legitimate way to obtain them because there hasn't been an event yet.)

This Pokémon was unavailable prior to Generation IV.
