The Pokémon games and the game Pulseman are both made by the same company, Game Freak. Understandably, the two games often reference each other, and thus, a list of possible references to Pulseman are listed here. These references are most prominent in Diamond and Pearl, but appear in other generations as well.
List of references
- The computer Pulseman was born on is named the Saint Ann (サント アンヌ) which is also the Japanese name of the S.S. Anne.
- Ledian bears a very significant resemblance to Pulseman.
- Remoraid resembles the Gunfish enemy that appears underwater in Stage 6 of Pulseman, as they are both combinations of fish and revolver pistols.
- Xatu resembles the bird-like enemy in Stage 2 of Pulseman, as they both share a nearly identical color scheme and similar shape.
- Registeel's design mimics the design for the boss in the Stage 4 of the Pulseman .
- Volt Tackle's Japanese name, ボルテッカー Volteccer, comes from Pulseman, and is the name of Pulseman's signature attack, where he flies around as a ball of electricity. The Final Smash version of Volt Tackle used by Pikachu in Super Smash Bros. Brawl closely resembles Pulseman's Voltecker.
- Although "Team Galactic" is not incorrect, a more literal translation of the Japanese name is "Galaxy Gang", possibly a reference to the Galaxy Gang in Pulseman. Charon's design may be based on Doc Waruyama, the main antagonist and a leader of Galaxy Gang in Pulseman.
- Hariyama's name can be a corruption of Doc Waruyama's name.
- Rotom appears to be based on Pulseman, although it may also be inspired by the unexplained phenomenon of ball lightning.
- Lisa Hatfield, a character from Pulseman, was on the logo art of Pokémon Journal at the Game Freak Web page. The designs for May and her counterparts are possibly based on Lisa Hatfield.
- Barry's battle music has several notes that resemble a portion of Neo Tokyo's music from Pulseman (Junichi Masuda also composed for Pulseman). Many other pieces of music from Pulseman also have similar features to Pokémon music.
