In the Japanese version of {{v2|Crystal}}, the [[Pokémon Center]] was expanded into a much larger building, called the Pokémon Communication Center, and shortened to PokéCom Center.

In ''[[PS180|The Last Battle XIV]]'', {{adv|Professor Oak}} went to have a radio interview at the Goldenrod Radio Tower. In the middle of the interview, a boy appeared in the studio, requesting a [[Pokédex]] from him.

In a flashback in ''[[PS264|It All Ends Now V]]'', the Pokémon Association was revealed to have captured {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} and kept it at their research facility in Goldenrod City to study it in the hopes of creating a [[Jade Orb|Green Orb]] to control it. The orb's creation was unsuccessful, however, and sometime later, on the same day when Norman was supposed to take his Gym Leader test in order to become the [[Petalburg City]] Gym Leader at the test hall near the research facility, the same Salamence that had attacked Ruby and Sapphire moments earlier destroyed the chamber containing Rayquaza, allowing it to escape. Noticing that Salamence's body beared damage from {{cat|Ruby's Pokémon}}, Norman took on the blame for Rayquaza's escape, causing the Pokémon Association to ban him from taking the Gym Leader test for the next five years and order him to find Rayquaza. Once Norman was finally allowed to take the test, he successfully passed it, and subsequently moved to [[Hoenn]] with his family.

In a flashback in ''[[PS331|The Final Battle IV]]'', the boy who had come to ask for a Pokédex from Professor Oak in Goldenrod City was revealed to have been {{adv|Emerald}}. However, Professor Oak had refused his request for the time being, telling Emerald to first figure out what Pokémon meant for him and what his path with them would be.
