* The LeafGreen [[Pokédex]] entries are the same as those in the original {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, as well as the {{game|Blue|Version (Japanese)|Japanese Blue}}, for the {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}. The FireRed entries for the same Pokémon are the same as those in the original {{game|Red and Green|s}}. This makes it the first time the original Red and Green entries have been translated into English.

* {{DL|S.S. Anne|Rumors|The truck}}, long rumored to have a [[Poké Ball]] containing {{p|Mew}} under it, appears again as scenery near the [[S.S. Anne]]. This time around, however, as an easter egg, there is a [[Lava Cookie]] hidden on the dock, which normally cannot be obtained until much later in the game.

* If a FireRed or LeafGreen cart is present in Slot 2 of the [[Nintendo DS]], the migration option in the [[main menu]] of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} is incorrectly stated as "Migrate from Fire Red" or "Migrate from Leaf Green", with a space in the middle of the version names. This typo was fixed in {{game|Platinum}} {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold, and SoulSilver}} by removing the space.

* Any {{pkmn|category}} names with more than one word are [[List of glitches in Generation III#Pokédex category oversight|cut off]] in early English releases of the games, causing for example Pokémon like {{p|Pidgey}} to be listed as "Tiny Pokémon" rather than "Tiny Bird Pokémon." [[Pokédex data structure in Generation III|Internal game data]] lists the categories the same as they appear in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and other games, indicating a mistake in the Pokédex where a blank space is misread for the terminating byte for the name. This was addressed in the later Player's Choice releases of the game. Alongside the missing word "Presents" in the game's opening, this is the easiest way to tell whether a particular game is a v1.0 or v1.1 release.
