Line 121:
The fourth generation of Pokémon games contained a significant amount of unobtainable items, especially after the release of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver as previous items such as Oak's Letter were usable within Pokémon Diamond, Pokémon Pearl and Pokémon Platinum but are unusable within Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver partly due to the fact that Sinnoh is unvisitable in the game. Like Generation III, these items likely exist because of evidence that Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver were designed from the previous games. Interestingly, there are also a significant amount of items which are never obtainable as actual items within the player's bag, but are mentioned by other NPCs such as the Red Chain in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Other items like the Rule Book in the same games may have remained unobtainable because of their use in other interfaces within the game, or perhaps in the case of the Rule Book unneeded, because the Wi-Fi rules are mentioned in the game instruction booklet.
===Various games===
#'''Cherish Ball''': Although as of Generation IV it has been common for Nintendo to distribute many event or gift Pokémon in a Cherish Ball through a [[bp:Pokémon Event|Pokémon Event]] or [[bp:Mystery Gift|Mystery Gift]] the item itself has never been distributed on its own, or as an item held by a Pokémon. As a result, the item is as of now unobtainable within the player's bag without the use of a [[game-altering device]]. The ball has the description "A quite rare Poké Ball that has been specially crafted to commemorate an occasion of some sort." and if used, it has the capture rate of an ordinary Poké Ball.
#'''Park Ball''': Similarly to the Safari Ball, although the Park Ball is normally only usable via a different interface which is in this case the Pal Park battle mode, item data does exist for if the player was to use a [[game-altering device]] to acquire the item in his or her bag. Like a Master Ball, its capture rate is 255x, hence the chance a player would capture a Pokémon using this ball is always 100%. Its description is "A special Poké Ball for the Pal Park."
#'''Safari Ball''':As with previous generations, item data also exists for the Safari Ball in Generation IV even though it is only usable as part of an altered battle mode used in the Great Marsh, and later the Safari Zone in Johto. Its capture rate is the same as a Great Ball. Interestingly, its description is that it is a ball which can only be used in the Great Marsh; even though this is no longer the case in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
