Revision as of 06:36, 18 February 2017
This article contains fan speculation. There is no solid evidence for or against some parts of this article. |
The seven generations of Pokémon games, taking place in the same universe, have had multiple references to each other. Not only do the games reference their same-generation counterparts (with the player's default name being the version played and the rival's being the counterpart version in the first two generations), but games released later in the series typically will feature references to events of past generations.
This does not include Pokémon. While Pokémon released in previous generations will always appear, they are not a reference to the generation itself.
List of references
Generation II
To Generation I
- Not only is the Kanto region a playable area during the games, but several of the events of Generation I are spoken of as having happened three years prior. Many characters also reappear because of this, though some of them undergo design changes.
- Red, the player character of the first games, is found training in Mt. Silver and can be battled.
- Blue, the rival character of the first games, has become the Gym Leader of Viridian City. His team is based on the Pokémon he used in the final battle in Pokémon Red and Blue.
- A man in the Violet City Pokémon Center states that the former Team Rocket was broken up by a "young kid."
- The parents of the Copycat in Saffron City mention that her Clefairy Doll was given to her by a boy three years before.
- The Berserk Gene, a held item, is found near the former entrance of the now-collapsed Cerulean Cave, where Mewtwo once hid.
- There is a Pokémon doll of a Surfing Pikachu available to decorate the room, which references the special minigame in Pokémon Yellow.
- A man in Cerulean City says there used to be a cave near the city with powerful Pokémon.
- If the player checks the poster in the Rocket Game Corner, the player will be informed that there's nothing there, referring to the secret switch under the poster in Generation I.
- The master of the Saffron City Fighting Dojo, Kiyo, can be found and battled in Mt. Mortar. Like in Generation I, he gives the player a Fighting-type Pokémon upon defeating him.
- In a Celadon City restaurant, a woman says that no one will give the player a Coin Case here and that he/she should look in Johto. A man in the same place gives a Coin Case in Generation I.
Generation III
To Generation I
- Brawly is said to have once trained alongside Bruno, who is a member of Kanto's Elite Four. Also, both of them are Fighting-type Pokémon users.
- The Oceanic Museum in Slateport City has two water samples on the top floor, one of which is from Kanto (though this reference is removed in Emerald). Its background music theme is also an arrangement of the S.S. Anne theme.
- There is also a miniature scale model of the S.S. Anne on the top floor of the Oceanic Museum.
- In Lanette's house, she has a computer which have E-mails from Bill about the Pokemon storage system.
- On Faraway Island, a series of smudged messages, which may have been left by Mr. Fuji, appear on a signpost.
- A boy in Lilycove City says that he and his family came from the Kanto region before he asks if there are any Pokémon found only in the Hoenn region.
- In the Victory Road in Kanto, there is a small crater where Moltres used to be.
To Generation II
- In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, the player character is said to have moved at the beginning of the game with his/her family from the Johto region, the main setting of the Generation II games. In Pokémon Emerald, the character who said this instead states that the player character's family moved there from a faraway place.
