Trivia
- The song that plays when battling against Damion is a remix of the "Neo Tokyo" theme from Pulseman
- Strangely, among the default names for him in the Japanese version of Pokémon Diamond is Shigeru, one of the names that are default in both Pokémon Red and Pokémon FireRed for Blue. Another point of similarity can perhaps be found in the fact that a relative of theirs is well-known in the Pokémon world, being the leader of Sinnoh's Battle Tower in Damion's case, and being a Pokémon professor in the case of Blue. Furthermore, both rivals are childhood acquaintances of the playable characters who go on to compete against them in collecting Gym badges, unlike Silver and Wally. Finally, Damion uses the Starly line, while Blue uses the Pidgey line; they both use Heracross at some point in their respective games.
- All Japanese default names for Damion come from game staff members' first names. They are all listed in the game's credits. Jun is from Jun'ichi Masuda, production director and music composer. Shigeru is from Shigeru Ōmori, game design leader. Kōji comes from Kōji Nishino, a game designer. Toshinobu is from Toshinobu Matsumiya, game scenario author. Hisashi is from Hisashi Sogabe, battle system programmer. Sōsuke is from Sōsuke Tamada, field system programmer. Akito is from Akito Mori, communication system programmer and Nozomu is from Nozomu Saito, also one of programmers.
