Trivia

• In Pokémon Yellow, there is a Trainer in the Pewter City Pokémon Center whose Jigglypuff puts the protagonist's Pikachu to sleep after singing. Although the player's Pikachu will not follow them until it is talked to or until the player exits the Pokémon Center, Pikachu will not be inflicted with the Sleep status at any stage.
• Although the sound-based moves are introduced in Generation III, Roar is listed in move index number near with another Generation I sound-based moves; Growl, Sing, Supersonic, and SonicBoom.
