* In the Japanese version of all Kanto-based games, the {{ka|old man}} passed out drunk at the start of the game, hence why he blocks the way out of [[Viridian City]] at the start of the game. In the English version, he is grumpy due to not having had his coffee yet. | * In the Japanese version of all Kanto-based games, the {{ka|old man}} passed out drunk at the start of the game, hence why he blocks the way out of [[Viridian City]] at the start of the game.

* The Japanese version of the [[Pokémon Mansion journals]] use a singular "わたし" (watashi, "I" pronoun), implying that only one person was involved in discovering {{p|Mew}} and creating {{p|Mewtwo}}. The English localization changed this pronoun to "we"; this happens to be consistent with the events of [[M01|Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back]], in which a group of scientists created Mewtwo. | * The Japanese version of the [[Pokémon Mansion journals]] use a singular "わたし" (watashi, "I" pronoun), implying that only one person was involved in discovering {{p|Mew}} and creating {{p|Mewtwo}}.

* In the Japanese version of all Kanto-based games, the characters Erik (Japanese: コージ ''Kōji'') and Sara (Japanese: アツコ ''Atsuko'') may be cameos of [[Kōji Nishino]] and [[Atsuko Nishida]]. They failed to meet each other due to a misunderstanding on the word "とり" (tori), which is also a pun.

This pun was lost in the English localizations. Additionally, in the English version of the Generation I and III games, Sara says that Erik is her boyfriend (which is not the case in the Japanese version of all games, and is also not said in the English version of the Generation VII games). | ||
