+[[File:Pulseman.png|thumb|250px|Artwork of Pulseman, Quinty from {{wp|Mendel Palace}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]
+The [[Pokémon games]] and the game {{wp|Pulseman}} 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 {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, but appear in other [[generation]]s 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]], along with being its name [[EP015|in the anime]].<ref name=GFYouTube/>
+* {{p|Ledian}} bears a very significant resemblance to Pulseman.
+* {{p|Xatu}} resembles the birdlike enemy in Stage 2 of Pulseman, as they both share a nearly identical color scheme and similar shape.
+* {{m|Volt Tackle}}'s Japanese name, ボルテッカー ''Volteccer'' is derived from the name of Pulseman's signature attack, where he flies around as a ball of electricity.<ref name=GFYouTube>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iA91WPotG2I GAME FREAK Illustration Demonstration: Episode One [Ken Sugimori x Pulseman<nowiki>]</nowiki> - YouTube]</ref>  The Final Smash version of Volt Tackle used by {{SSB|Pikachu}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] closely resembles Pulseman's Volteccer.
+* 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. [[Charon]]'s design may be based on Doc Waruyama, the main antagonist and a leader of Galaxy Gang in Pulseman.
+* {{p|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. The designs for {{ga|May}} and {{DL|Cross-canon counterpart|May's counterparts|her counterparts}} are possibly based on Lisa Hatfield.
+* {{ga|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.
+* {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}'s battle music also has several notes similar to stage 6 music.
+* {{p|Boltund}}'s Japanese name, パルスワン Pulsewan, may be a reference to Pulseman.
+* {{p|Iron Jugulis}}’s Pokédex entry in {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet}} describes it as the offspring of a {{p|Hydreigon}} that fell in love with a robot, which is reminiscent of Pulseman’s origin story as the child of a scientist who fell in love with an AI.
