Trivia
- Its Japanese motto is タマムシ にじいろ ゆめの いろ.
- In Chikorita's Big Upset, it is mentioned that Celadon City has a university, where the episode's Nurse Joy studied Pokémon psychology. In a later episode it is revealed that Professor Oak used to teach there. In Pokémon Special, the university is where Erika teaches on top of her Gym duties.
- In Generation I, there was an invisible PC in the hotel. This fact is explained by the close resemblance between the hotel and a Pokémon Center. This was less a glitch and more likely an oversight by the programmers who may have forgotten to remove the code to activate the PC at that particular point (though the sprite of the PC itself is no longer there).
