Within the Pokémon games exist numerous items which for some reason, were never used in the final game. Many of these items, particularly those from Generation I and Generation IV have been used as 'dummy' items in the sense that they account for features within the game which do not require an item such as the '?????' item which acts as a Surfboard in Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow or the Loot Sack in Pokémon Diamond, Pokémon Pearl and Pokémon Platinum which was seemingly intended for the Underground, however the Underground would use an entirely different interface when the player activates the 'start menu' so was unnecessary.

Other items tend to have been used in a previous game before, such as the Scanner in Pokémon FireRed, Pokémon LeafGreen, or the Slowpoke Tail on Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. This is ~~unsurprising~~ as many of the newer Pokémon games tend to use a slightly modified version of the previous game engine. For example, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen use a similar map engine of the previous games, namely Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. On the other hand, especially for remakes of older Pokémon games Nintendo may 'presume' the existance of a certain item in the final game which seems to have been the case for the Slowpoke Tail.

Finally, there are a few items such as the Lock Capsule which were added to the final game for completely unknown reasons, however the Lock Capsule may eventually serve a purpose, as some people presumed the Enigma Crystal to be a beta item until it was released distributed Wi-Fi.
