#'''????????''':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 dialog]]. 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 [[bp: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 identifier of the item and whether it was used on Pokémon Gold and
#'''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 all of the main RPG third generation series games. 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. Other games used descriptions which would only refer to the fact that this type of Pokéball could only be used in the Safari Zone.
#'''Enigma Berry''': In the [[bp:third generation|third generation]] of Pokémon games, the [[bp:Enigma Berry|Enigma Berry]] exists as a [[placeholder]] for the item identifiers occupying those which should correspond to the bonus berries obtainable via the [[bp:Pokémon Battle e|Pokémon Battle e]] cards. If the Pokémon Battle e cards were not scanned in to the game, the relevant berry is defined as an Enigma Berry instead. Unlike in [[bp:Generation IV|Generation IV]], the Enigma Berry in the third generation of the Pokémon games has no use and it is unobtainable without the use of a [[game-altering device]], as the e-reader cards would prevent the player from attaching a bonus berry to a Pokémon and transferring it to a game where data from the Pokémon Battle e cards had not been scanned in to the game. In the [[bp:fourth generation|fourth generation]] of the Pokémon games, the Enigma Berry is now obtainable legitimately, by either migrating a Pokémon holding a bonus berry to [[bp:Pal Park|Pal Park]], or purchasing one in [[bp:Pokémon Battle Revolution|Pokémon Battle Revolution]].
