The Pokémon games and the Pulseman games are both made by the same company, Game Freak. Understandably, the two games often reference each other, and thus, a list of possible references to Pulseman are listed here. These references are most prominent in Diamond and Pearl, but appear in other generations as well.

List of references

  • The computer Pulseman was born on is named the Saint Ann (サント アンヌ) which is also the Japanese name of the S.S. Anne.
  • Ledian bears a very significant resemblance to Pulseman.
  • The Gunfish enemy that appears underwater in Stage 6 of Pulseman resembles a Remoraid, as they are both combinations of fish and revolver pistols.
  • The birdlike enemy in Stage 2 of Pulseman resembles a Xatu, as they both share a nearly identical color scheme and similar shape.
  • Volt Tackle's Japanese name, ボルテッカー Volteccer, comes from Pulseman, and is the name of Pulseman's signature attack, where he flies around as a ball of electricity. The Final Smash version of Volt Tackle used by Pikachu in Super Smash Bros. Brawl closely resembles Pulseman's Voltecker.
  • Although "Team Galactic" is not incorrect, a more literal translation of the Japanese name is "Galaxy Gang", possibly a reference to the Galaxy Gang in Pulseman.
  • Rotom appears to be based on Pulseman, although it may also be inspired by the unexplained phenomenon of ball lightning.
  • Lisa Hatfield, a character from Pulseman, was on the logo art of Pokémon Journal at the Game Freak Web page.
  • Barry's battle music has several notes that resemble a portion of Neo Tokyo's music from Pulseman. (Junichi Masuda also composed for Pulseman.) Many other pieces of music from Pulseman also have similar features to Pokémon music.
