The Pokémon games and the Pulseman games, are both made by the same company, Game Freak. Understandably, the two games often reference each other, and thus, a list of possible references to Pulseman are listed here. These references are most prominent in Diamond and Pearl, but appear in other generations as well.
List of references
- The computer Pulseman was born on is named the Saint Ann (サント アンヌ) which is also the Japanese name of the S.S. Anne.
- Ledian bears a very significant resemblance to Pulseman.
- The Gunfish enemy that appears underwater in Stage 6 of Pulseman resembles to Remoraid, as they are both combinations of fish and revolver pistols.
- Volt Tackle's Japanese name, ボルテッカー Volteccer, comes from Pulseman, and is the name of Pulseman's signature attack, where he flies around as a ball of electricity. The Final Smash version of Volt Tackle used by Pikachu in Super Smash Bros. Brawl closely resembles Pulseman's Volteccer.
- Although "Team Galactic" is not incorrect, a more literal translation of the Japanese name is "Galaxy Gang", possibly a reference to the Galaxy Gang in Pulseman.
- Rotom appears to be based of off Pulseman, although it may also be inspired by the unexplained phenomenon of ball lightning.
- Lisa Hatfield was on the logo art of Pokémon Journal at the GameFreak Webpage.
