* In [[Generation I]] and {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, when the {{player}} encounters {{tc|Scientist}} Taylor before {{pkmn|battle}}, he says that he was shipped off to the ''{{wp|Tiksi}} branch'' of the company. After being defeated, he claims it to be ''in {{wp|Russia}}n no-man's-land''. In reality, it is in Russia's {{wp|Sakha Republic}}, {{wp|Siberia}}.

* Though a logo for the company was not introduced in-game until [[Generation IV]], several possible logos have been seen in previous games.
