==Game references==
====To [[Pokémon anime|anime]]====
*[[Pokémon Yellow]] is a direct tribute to the anime.
*The {{an|Jigglypuff|Jigglypuff with a marker}} appears in [[Pokémon Snap]].
*[[Pokémon Channel]] uses the anime voices of Pokémon, including [[Maddie Blaustein]]'s {{MTR}}. It also features an episode exclusive to the game: ''[[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]''
*In the Japanese versions of {{pkmn|Diamond and Pearl}}, one of the default names for {{ga|Pearl}} is [[Gary Oak|Shigeru]].  In the English versions, one of the default names for {{ga|Lucas}} is {{Ash}}.
*[[Riley]] appears to be based off [[Sir Aaron]], a character that appeared in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. Riley has a {{p|Lucario}}, a Pokémon Aaron {{an|Lucario|also had}}.
*The mysterious [[GS Ball]], a [[key item]] in [[Pokémon Crystal]], was introduced during the [[Orange Islands]] season.
*The [[Generation II]] games said that [[Cinnabar Island]] was evacuated because the eruption of a volcano. While the games do not show any volcano, the anime clearly shows {{Ash}} fighting against [[Blaine]] on the top of a volcano.
*In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]], an NPC named Luis will sometimes participate in [[Pokémon Super Contest]] with his {{p|Pikachu}}, nicknamed [[Sparky]], much like [[Ritchie]]'s is.
*The most important of the Super Contest judges is named Dexter, much like {{Ash}}'s [[Pokédex]] was during the anime's early seasons.
*In {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}} Brock's team includes a {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}}, and Misty's team in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] includes a {{TP|Misty|Togetic}}.
*The [[Super Smash Bros.]] series has various references.
**All Pokémon are depicted with their anime voices, though the English language release of Melee keeps Mewtwo's Japanese voice.
**The [[Misty]] trophy depicts her in her [[original series]] clothes.
**The {{p|Meowth}} trophy depicts [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Team Rocket's Meowth]] with the guitar from [[Meowth's Party]]
**The [[Pokémon Stadiums (Smash Bros. stages)|Pokémon Stadium]] stage in Super Smash Bros. Melee has four different terrain effects, corresponding to four different [[elemental types]]: {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Grass}}, and {{t|Rock}}, while the one in Brawl has a new set of four different terrain effects: {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Flying}}, and {{t|Electric}}. These reference the four fields of the [[Indigo League Conference]].
**In Melee's 44th Event Match, ''Mewtwo Strikes!'', {{p|Mewtwo}} uses Princess Zelda to beat the player, in the ''Battlefield'', a stage that has a star background. Both the name, that Mewtwo uses Zelda and the stage setting is clearly based of ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''
**In Brawl's 25th event Match, "The [[Aura]] Is With Me", the player battles as {{p|Lucario}} against Ness and Sheik on the prehistoric stage [[Spear Pillar|Mt. Coronet Spear Pillar]]. This is a clear reference to ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', where {{an|Lucario}} was a ancient Pokémon that had sleept in hundreds of years, and [[Ash Ketchum]] himself even said "The aura is with me!" when in the [[Tree of Beginning]].

====To [[Pokémon manga|manga]]====
*Several Gym Leaders in [[Pokémon Stadium]] and the [[Generation II]] games have Pokémon used by their [[Pokémon Special]] counterparts, they are Brock's Kabuto/Kabutops, Lt. Surge's Electabuzz, Erika's Skiploom/Jumpluff, and Sabrina's Drowzee/Hypno.

====To [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]]====
*[[Pokémon Card GB]] and [[Pokémon Card GB 2]] are directly based off the TCG.
*The [[Shadow Pokémon]] (known as Dark Pokémon in Japanese) are similar to the [[Dark Pokémon (TCG)|Dark Pokémon]] from the TCG, including the fact that most Shadow Pokémon are evolved forms.
*The beta versions of [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'s [[Pokémon Stadiums (Smash Bros. stages)|Pokémon Stadium stage]] originally featured the {{TCG|Fire}}, {{TCG|Grass}} and {{TCG|Water}} {{TCG|Elemental types|Energy symbols}}. The reason for their removal was likely because there are also {{t|Normal}} and {{t|Rock}} variations, and no Energy symbol that represents the Rock-type.
