* The {{ka|old man}} in Viridian City has now had his coffee, and says, "Hey, kid! I just had a double shot of espresso and I am wired!" He references the fact that in Generation I he taught the player how to catch Pokémon, and asks if the player believes him, but does not attempt to teach this time around.
* In the English version, and languages other than Japanese, the {{ka|old man}} in Viridian City has now had his coffee, and says, "Hey, kid! I just had a double shot of espresso and I am wired!" In the Japanese version, he lets up a hiccup referencing the fact that he was drunk in the Generation I games. In both versions, he also references the fact that in Generation I he taught the player how to catch Pokémon, but does not attempt to teach this time around.
* [[Bill]]'s house ([[Sea Cottage]]) is still present at the Cerulean Cape, but Bill is currently visiting his family in Johto's [[Goldenrod City]]. The house is being watched over by his grandfather.

* The {{OBP|Copycat|character}} still lives in [[Saffron City]], but has moved to another area of town. Her old house was demolished to make way for the [[Magnet Train]] station. As compensation, she received a free rail pass from a man at the station, which she gives away to the player after the return of her [[Lost Item|lost doll]]. According to her mother, this is the same [[Poké Doll|doll]] that Red exchanged for {{TM|31|Mimic}} in [[Generation I]].
