The four generations of Pokémon games, taking place in the same universe, have had multiple references to each other. Not only do the games reference their same-generation counterparts (with the player's default name being the version played and the rival's being the counterpart version in the first two generations), but games released later in the series typically will feature references to events of past generations.

Please note, of course, that this does not include Pokémon. While Pokémon released in previous generations will always appear, they are not a reference to the generation itself.

List of references

Generation II

To Generation I

Generation III

To Generation I

To Generation II

  • The player-controlled character of Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald is said to have moved at the beginning of the game with his/her family from the Johto region, the main setting of the Generation II games.
  • The Oceanic Museum in Slateport City has two water samples, one of which is from Johto.
  • A man in Mt. Moon says that Brock sometimes helps excavate fossils there. This explains how he acquires the Kabutops and Omastar which he uses in the second generation of games.
  • At the Cerulean Cape, a dame says Misty has high hopes about the location, which is known as a famous dating spot. In the second generation of games, she is first encountered there with an unknown male character.
  • Janine, Koga's daughter and future Leader of Fuchsia Gym, appears in Fuchsia City, and tells the player that she is training to use Poison Pokémon like her father. She is misnamed as Charine in the English translation of FireRed and LeafGreen, however.
  • The branch of Team Rocket in the Sevii Islands seems to be the same branch which attempted to revive Team Rocket during Generation II, with plans to use magnetic waves to evolve Pokémon. Their lead scientist also tells that Giovanni's son has red hair, a possible reference to Silver. It could also be a reference to the head admin in Johto, pictured on Team Rocket's Evil Deeds.
  • One of Professor Oak's assistants will state that he is to get a radio show sometime in the near future.
  • Celio mentions that some members of Bill's family live in Goldenrod City.
  • A woman on Boon Island in Bruno's section of the Fame Checker mentions the Ragecandybar.
  • Whitney, Jasmine and Pryce lookalikes appear as audience members in Contests.
  • The man who digs Three Isle Path and gives the player a Nugget says that he'd like to buy a house in Kanto. He likely is the same person who gives away a Nugget in Generation II in his house on Route 2.
