#'''????????''':The [[error handler]] ???????? is used internally in the third generation of Pokémon games, and later in Generation IV to denote 'dummy' and undefined identifiers for items. The game uses this error handler to denote items which occupy the 'slots' where no valid data exists. All of these items are given the description '?????' to prevent the game from otherwise attempting to display [[glitch dialogue]]. These items usually have no Use option, however the game does not restrict any items from having the Give option, hence such items can be hold by a Pokémon and in fact are sometimes held by variations of the error handler for non-existing Pokémon; [[??????????]]. By eliminating the Use option, this prevents the game from bringing up invalid information as event data, as [[glitch items]] did in [[Generation I|Generation I]]. For most of these items however, if the Use option is enabled via a [[game-altering device]] the player will recieve a message that the item is unusable, depending on the game.
#'''Safari Ball''': The Safari Ball, although normally never obtainable within the Bag interface remains as its own item within Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire and later Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen and Pokémon Emerald. The description for the Safari Ball in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen interestingly describes the appearance of the Safari Ball, probably because of the fact that these games tended to give more descriptive text about items than on Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.
