Apart from Togepi and Ho-oH, What out-of-season pokemon have there been? In the first episode of pokemon, Ash sees a Ho-oH flying overhead, yet it wasn't known about (at least by Prof. Oak) until the second generation of pokemon.



When Ash hatches a Pokemon egg and gets Togepi in "who gets to keep Togepi", the pokedex comes up with nothing apart from a name.



Are there any other pokemon we get to see prior to their generation's season of the anime? (Up to generation 5)
User Caciulacdlac on Bulbapedia has compiled a list of Pokemon that appeared before their generation starts airing. I assume the Japan broadcast date is used as the criteria.

The whole answer below is mostly based on the link above, and several other articles on Bulbapedia. 



All the dates cited below will be Japan broadcast dates. Episode numbering will follow the numbering used by Bulbapedia.
