* The {{ka|Power Plant}} now plays Pokémon Mansion instead of Rocket Hideout
* The [[Indigo Plateau]] lobby now plays Pokémon Gym instead of The Final Road

"To Bill: Leaving Cerulean City" is also played during [[Professor Oak]]'s speech at the start of a [[new game]].

The [[gate]]s play the same music as in the [[Generation I]] games.

Changes from Generation I games and their Generation III remakes:
* The Badge man's house ([[Cerulean City]]) still plays the Cerulean City Theme like in Generation III, instead of the Pewter City Theme like in Generation I
* The {{ka|Safari Zone}} was replaced by the [[GO Park]], which plays its own music theme instead of the Evolution theme like in Generations I and III
*: The GO Park theme starts like a faster version of the Evolution theme from earlier games, and later plays some notes from [[List of battle music themes|Battle! (Trainer Battle)]]
* The {{ka|Power Plant}} plays the Rocket Hideout theme like in Generation I, instead of the Pokémon Mansion theme like in Generation III
* All the [[Elite Four]] rooms in the [[Indigo Plateau]] now play The Final Road
* The [[Hall of Fame]] room now plays the Congratulations! music theme

===Generation VIII===
{{incomplete|section}}
====Pokémon Sword and Shield====
====Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====
====Pokémon Legends: Arceus====

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I]], the {{rt|17|Kanto}} is programmed to play "Road to Cerulean City: Leaving Mt. Moon" like several other routes, but this music theme cannot be legitimately heard on this route, because riding the [[Bicycle]] is mandatory on the [[Cycling Road]], overriding the route theme with the Cycling theme.
