Where to find version exclusive/Johto Pokémon in Gen 3!
-This graphic shows where to get each pokémon LINE. The rest of the line is obtained through breeding eggs or evolving
-Game logos next to (or above) pokémon icon indicate that they can also be found in that game
FR and LG exclusives are shown in respective circles (split into Kanto and Johto)
Johto pokémon found in BOTH FR and LG are shown in shaded area between their two circles
All Hoenn pokémon are in Emerald except those shown in the Ruby/Sapphire-colored circle
Johtos found in all GBA games are listed middle left
Pokémon needing a working battery (or GCN games) are shown bottom left
Jirachi and Celebi have special requirements including bonus discs, Ruby or Sapphire for Jirachi and JPN-compatible games and gamecube for Celebi. They’re optional and not needed for complete pokédex
Lugia and Ho-oh aren’t required to register your pokédex as “complete” in a GBA game either
You can get opposite Lati in RSE with eon ticket + e-Reader, or you can play through Emerald twice and choose the opposite Lati, or use Ruby and Sapphire
Your life will be way easier with Colosseum for the Johto starters and legendary dogs - otherwise you will need multiple replays of Emerald (starters) and FRLG (dogs) to get them all
Mew and Deoxys are impossible to obtain now without cheating or trading
Minimum games to complete gen 3 pokédex?
Leaf Green, Emerald, Colosseum and XD
restart for Kanto and Hoenn starters at beginning
two full plays of Emerald for both Latis OR use eon ticket + e-Reader
Can you complete gen 3 pokédex with GBA games only?
Yes - with lots of patience. You need all 5 GBA games, multiple replays of Emerald for all the Johto starters and one replay of either FRLG for the third legendary dog
