The four 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.

Please note, of course, that 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 previous. 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.
  • 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.

Generation III

To Generation I

To Generation II

  • The player-controlled character of Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald 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.
  • The Oceanic Museum in Slateport City has two water samples, one of which is from Johto.
  • A man in Mt. Moon says that Brock sometimes helps excavate fossils there. This explains how he acquires the Kabutops and Omastar which he uses in the second generation of games.
  • At the Cerulean Cape, a dame says Misty has high hopes about the location, which is known as a famous dating spot. In the second generation of games, she is first encountered there with an unknown male character.
  • Janine, Koga's daughter and future Leader of Fuchsia Gym, appears in Fuchsia City, and tells the player that she is training to use Poison Pokémon as well as her father. She is unfortunately misnamed as Charine in the English translation of FireRed and LeafGreen, however.
  • The branch of Team Rocket in the Sevii Islands seems to be the same branch which attempted to revive Team Rocket during Generation II, with plans to use magnetic waves to evolve Pokémon. Their lead scientist also tells that Giovanni's son has red hair, a possible reference to Silver.
  • One of Professor Oak's assistants will state that he is to get a radio show sometime in the near future.
