* During the pre-release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, [[Game Freak]]'s '''''Official Fan Book of Pocket Monsters''''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター公式ファンブック''') from 1997 hinted at a location containing {{wp|Japanese architecture|traditional Japanese buildings}} called '''Old City''' (Japanese: '''オールドシティ''').
