 ** Professor Nishinomori's descendant appeared in the anime in the episode ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]''. The English dub named him [[Professor Westwood V]], with "Westwood" being a literal translation of "Nishinomori" (Nishi meaning west and Mori meaning forest or woods).
 * The introduction states that in Baron Tajirin's time only 30 Pokémon had been discovered. This is likely a reference to how, when developing Pokémon Red and Green, Satoshi Tajiri thought the Game Boy carts would only have room for 30 Pokémon, which was described in Tajiri's biographical manga.
-* The introduction states that 150 Pokémon has been discovered throught the work of [[Professor Oak]] as of 1996.
+* The introduction states that 150 Pokémon have been discovered through the work of [[Professor Oak]] as of 1996.
-** Considering that in Red and Green Pokémon games Professor Oak claims that the player's Pokédex is complete when they own only 150 Pokémon and Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia describes the discovery of 151st Pokémon in Bill's lecture it can be concluded that the Pokémon Red and Green games are happening in the year 1996.
+** Considering that in Pokémon Red and Green, Professor Oak claims that the player's Pokédex is complete when they own only 150 Pokémon, and this {{tt|Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia|Pokédex}} describes the discovery of a 151st Pokémon in Bill's lecture, it can be concluded that the Pokémon Red and Green games are happening in the year 1996.
 * The fact that researchers have been arguing over {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s classification for six years appears to be a nod to how Pokémon Red and Green took six years to develop.
-* {{p|Charmander}}'s entry describes how smokers use its flame's tail to light up their cigarette, something which was later shown off in a [https://twitter.com/HiResPokemon/status/1167095102508085250 set of playing cards] illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno and published in Corocoro Comics in late 1996.

 * In ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', the Pokédex mentions that {{p|Electabuzz}} and {{p|Scyther}} can both distinguish colors, and that they are enraged by the color red, details which were only seen in this book. Prior to the [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese Pokémon Blue]], they were both [[Version-exclusive Pokémon#Generation I|exclusive to Red]].
 * {{p|Snorlax}}'s entry contains an overt reference to Koji Nishino, as it describes how it got its Japanese name because it is capable of digesting moldy food. Indeed, "Kabi" is the Japanese word for mold, and Snorlax got its Japanese name "Kabigon" because it is a caricature of Nishino, who was said to eat pretty much anything he found, even if it was moldy.
