* Outside of [[Trade|trading]] or {{pkmn2|event}}s, {{p|Wynaut}} is the only [[Generation III]] Pokémon that can be obtained in FireRed. This is the sole instance in the [[core series]] where only one Pokémon from a particular generation can be obtained in a game.

* In the end credits, the [[game mascot]]s of the four [[Generation I]] games, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}}, appear with special 3-frame sprites, transforming from their in-game sprites to the pose they took on the Japanese boxart of their respective games. In the Japanese versions, they are inside a circle with the text ''THE POCKET MONSTER TRAINER'', which is colored to match the Pokémon's type. In international versions, this is replaced by a Poké Ball symbol, also colored based on the Pokémon's type.
