* Pearl has achieved a high score of 2000 at [[Pal Park]], which serves as the default high score.

* Although Pearl can only be battled on weekends, if the player saves the game in front of him on a Sunday in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, he can still be battled on weekdays if the player does not leave the Fight Area (even to go to the [[Pokémon Center]]) during the periods of time in between. This was corrected in {{game|Platinum}}.

* Strangely, among the default names for him in the Japanese version of [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond]] is Shigeru, one of the names that are default in both [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed]] for {{ga|Blue}}. "{{Gary}}" is also one of the optional names for him in the German and Italian-language versions of Pokémon Diamond. Gary's Korean Name, 바람 ''Baram'' can also be found among optional names for him in Korean-language version. Another point of similarity can perhaps be found in the fact that a relative of theirs is well-known in the Pokémon world, being [[Tower Tycoon Palmer|the]] [[Frontier Brain]] of Sinnoh's {{si|Battle Tower}} in Pearl's case, and being [[Professor Oak|a]] [[Pokémon professor]] in the case of Blue. Furthermore, both rivals are childhood acquaintances of the [[playable character]]s who go on to compete against them in collecting [[Gym]] badges, unlike {{ga|Silver}} and [[Wally]]. Finally, Pearl uses the {{p|Starly}} line, while {{ga|blue}} uses the {{p|Pidgey}} line; they both use {{p|Heracross}} at some point in their respective games.

* All Japanese default names for Pearl come from game staff members' first names. They are all listed in the game's credits. Jun is from '''[[Junichi Masuda]]''', production director and music composer. Shigeru is from '''Shigeru Ōmori''', game design leader. Kōji comes from '''Kōji Nishino''', a game designer. Toshinobu is from '''Toshinobu Matsumiya''', game scenario author. Hisashi is from '''Hisashi Sogabe''', battle system programmer. Sōsuke is from '''Sōsuke Tamada''', field system programmer. Akito is from '''Akito Mori''', communication system programmer and Nozomu is from '''Nozomu Saito''', also one of the programmers.

* Pearl has a [[Pokétch]]; however, it is orange, while the player can only have a blue one (if playing as {{ga|Lucas}}) or a pink one (if playing as {{ga|Dawn}}). This is even stated by an old lady in [[Oreburgh City]], who notes that blue and pink are the only colors that are produced by [[The Pokétch Company]].
